i love casey carlson and rebecca soni so much. i hope they qualify with jessica hardy being back

[VioletTeen17]

Carlson looks so happy! I luv it when even if they dont finish first if they drop time there completely amazed and proud :)

[bigpaulbunyan63]

That Lane 5 finish might not have even been legal! either way, that was possibly the most sad last stroke I have ever seen.

[ps2monster]

Yeah, she misjudged the wall.

[dukeiscool123]

@bigpaulbunyan63 how is that not legal? she had a two hand touch. all she did was take an extra stroke instead of gliding

[ZapdAmer]

dude i am so dissapointed soni lost in the 200. she could have won if she was more conservative

[HungAzn]

i think that's the reason that she won.. sure she lost some efficiency, but the 100 isn't about efficiency.

The suits help some more than others, IMO. It certainly helped Soni and Hardy go from 1:06 to 1:04. Then you have others like Freeman come out of nowhere and swim 1:05 low. I don't think technology helped Leisel as much as it did other swimmers. We will see what happens next year, and if theothers can replicate Leisel's times in textile then there won't be any question marks.

[insidiousheart]

I wonder how Soni, Hardy and Pierse will go next year with the tech suit bans. Leisel Jones will be back and unlike the aforementioned, her best times were swum in textile suits.
