Now, that’s the way to finish a meet. Probably the closest ever finish of the 1500, with Larson Jensen closing to less than .2 seconds at 1400 meters before Hackett pulled away to win in an Olympic record time, and with the bronze medalist almost catching Jensen the last lap. Then, Natalie Coughlin just misses her own WR in the 100 back before Australia comes back in dramatic fashion to smash the WR and OR in the Women’s 4 x 100 Medley. And, to finish it off, Aaron Piersol sets a WR in the 100 back while leading off a US relay team that also smashes the WR.
Oh, the Women swam the 50 too, but you only swim that event if you can’t swim any farther than that (but, really, I’m not bitter about having absolutely no FT muscle fibers).
