A few notes about prelims, then right into predix:
- Why couldn't Amanda Weir have gone 53.2 on the relay on night 1? She was 1.27 faster today in prelims! If she had led off with that, then Dara would have gone at least another second faster, and the Americans would have medalled!
- Three other semis tonight in the men's 200 back, women's 200 breast, and men's 200 breast. More on those later...
- Women's 800 free relay looks to be a two-country race, as I have said all along. The top four times from the United States and Great Britain separate them by less than a second...
