The Australian Olympic Trials

Stephanie Rice broke the 400IM world record a few days ago, and has now set a new 200 IM world record of 2:08.92. The men's 100-meter and 50-meter freestyle records were set at the European Championships over the past several days. Now in the midst of the Aussie's 2008 Olympic trials, the former 50-meter free record holder, Eamon Sullivan, has gone a 47.55 in semi-finals, .05 off the record, with the 50-free still a few days away. Lots of fast swimming in the world. The Olympics is going to be fun to watch!
