Commie Games day 1...

[Steve]

...report is now on pullbuoy. How's that for service? :D
Fantastic session!

2 World records on day one alone. Exciting stuff in Manchester. Good form going 1-2 in the ladies 200 free.

Is that Karen Legg's first time under the 2 minute mark? And am I right in thinking Kate Haywood made the 50 brst final? The finalists didn't pop up on TV because of a presentation.

[Chris]

Many congratulations to the two Karen's.

A little bit naive of James Hickman I thought (but who am I to question his tactics :rolleyes: )

I think we have every right to question that. Hickman is virtually our most experienced and established swimmer at this level and I expected much better from him. 54 is nothing short of suicidal (he came back in 63 I believe!):rolleyes: :(

i can't believe how horribly graham and rooney swam...not to take away from karen pickering, she had a nice swim. elka should have done better than bronze though.

thorpe was his usually amazing self and it was great to see justin take out the 200 fly. it was a surprise to see coventry from zimbabwe win the 200 im, great upset. :)
