Post-meet Thoughts & Lessons

Technique and streamlining were outstanding across the board.

Underwater kick has come a long way.

It's never over till it's over - Lezak, Adlington (400) and Mister P.

If at first you don't succeed ... Pellegrini.

Stroke length - Phelps, espacially the left-hand upsweep on freestyle; truly outstanding.

Expectations are a stimulus not a pressure - Michael P.

Overwhelming superiority means zip in the Olympic cauldron - Liesel J.

There are no 'gimmees' for the world record-holder - men's and women's 50 and 100 freestyle.

Short course doeasn't count.

Australia - up and down.

USA - supreme but not invincible.

GBR - ten's of million of their British pounds but their success came from a 'regular' club.

Cameron Gibson - you never know how good you are until you forget how good you think you are and just go for it.
