A great day in the pool for Canada. The Canadian S13 ladies again swept an event, 1,2,3!! It was the 200 IM and the second time this has happened in the meet. As well Stephanie Dixon scored a silver medal.
Donovan’s race was an exciting one. Young Mohamed set another world record in the 100 free, 57.65.Before last year no S11 had gone under 1 minute for the 100 free, the world record was set 20 years ago by John Morgan, a man who was an able bodied scholarship swimmer at Stanford who progressively went blind over a short period. His record of 56.75 will likely be broken within the next year. Bozun Yang as well went under a minute in 59.25; the young Polish swimmer took the bronze in 100.49. Donovan was a game fighter but finished fourth.
Tomorrow s the 100 back, his last legitimate medal chance. We both know this to be the case and took care in the warm down to normalize lactate, ate sensibly and he will be asleep before 10 pm. Tomorrow he will be in the last heat of 2, he is ranked in the top 5. These guys are going fast, he will need a great race to make the podium.
