Pan Pacs Continues...

Lucky shirt. Check.
Lucky earrings. Check.
Lucky Brendan charm. Check.



The 100 Breaststroke is the 4th event scheduled. Prelim this morning and Final tonight. Follow it all live on Omega Timing. Woot!

GO BRENDAN GO!

Brendan Hansen Focused on Every Opportunity
I was able to get a chance to talk to Brendan Hansen briefly this evening, and he talked about how at the US Nationals his swims were good, his times were great, but he never quite felt "it." But that has changed. Hansen has a bounce in his step that surprisingly you would have thought he would have all along after breaking two world records. His excitement level is high, and he gets a big smile when he talks about how his legs are finally "coming around" (swimmer speak for feeling rested) and are "popping."

He said don't be surprised to see him break out Friday morning in his 100 breastroke preliminary race. He says that it is going to be real competitive, and he does not want to take any chances. Don't count out a sub-minute swim from Hansen to start off his meet right.

Phelps and Schipper broke world records in the 200 Fly last night

  • I love it that all the Americans traveled to Victoria to race...each other. The U.S. went 1, 2, 3, and even 4 in nearly every race this AM! And yet, #4 doesn't even get to swim at night, much less in the A heat. Crazy rules, this meet is definitely making me rethink Olympic qualification standards.

    But it's making for some fast prelim times, that's for sure.
