QUOTES 200m Freistil/free, Männer/Men Ian Thorpe (AUS), Sieger/winner: „I don’t give any prognoses fort he Worlds in Barcelona. I would be happy if I win one gold medal. From my point of view the media makes too much of my competition with Pieter van den Hoogenband. We are good friends off the pool.” Pieter van den Hoogenband (NED), Zweiter/runner-up: „Yesterday I wanted to swim the 100m free under 47 seconds, but I failed. Today Ian and I show a top performance in the 200m free with a European record for me. This final makes me optimistic for the World Championships in Barcelona. The arena worldcup here in Berlin is a perfectly organised event with expert and enthusiastic crowds.” 50m Brust/breast, Frauen/Women Zoe Baker (GBR), Siegerin/winner: „This was my last competition of the season on short course, which I don’t like at all. The turn always disturbs my rhythm. But I need competitions on short course to improve. I shall return from Christchurch in New Zealand to Great Britain in March in order to prepare for the World Championships. Too much travelling is no good. I might practise together with Mark Foster.” 100m Brust/breast, Männer/Men

    The 24th European Swimming and Diving Championship (Istanpool '99) drew to a close last Sunday in Istanbul after 11 days of hot competition which included a slew of records including two new world marks. German swimmer Sandra Volker grabbed the second of those on the final day, breaking her own world record in the 50-meter backstroke. This was a fitting end as the German team led overall, taking a total of 37 medals, 12 more than its nearest rival, Russia.

Kowal takes silver
From staff and wire reports Former Georgia Bulldog Kristy Kowal won a silver medal in the 50-meter breatstroke Friday at the swimming world championships.
Itsuo Inouye/AP FUKUOKA, Japan Former Georgia swimmer Kristy Kowal picked up her first hardware of the 2001 World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, as the seven-time NCAA individual champion won silver in the 50-meter breaststroke Friday.
Kowal grabbed the silver in 31.37 behind China's Xuejuan Luo, who swam the 50 meters in 30.84, just 0.01 off the world record. Great Britain's Zoe Baker finished third in 31.40. American Megan Quann, the Olympic gold medalist in the 100-meter, finished fourth. Kowal's time was just 0.03 off the American record.
''We could not be more proud of Kristy,'' said Jack Bauerle, UGA head coach and U.S. assistant at the World Championships. ''She hung in there after a good swim but a disappointing finish in the 200 (meter breaststroke). There were five women within 0.9 of a second of each other in that race. She kept her wits about her. She medaled in an event that she is not accustomed to swimming, since the 50 (meter breaststroke) is a new international event. We are proud of her performance and especially her effort.'' Georgia rising senior and next year's captain Marc Lindsay finished fourth in his 200-meter backstroke semifinal but failed to reach the final, finishing 10th overall.

    Krayzelburg wins 100m backstroke; Van den Hoogenband beats Thorpe SportsLine.com wire reports
    Sept. 18, 2000
    SYDNEY, Australia Lenny Krayzelburg and Megan Quann gave the United States another double-gold night at the Olympic pool Monday. But get this: Ian Thorpe had to settle for silver. Krayzelburg, who was heavily favored, won the 100-meter backstroke in an Olympic record 53.72 seconds. Quann, a 16-year-old from Puyallup, Wash., backed up her boast of knocking off defending champion Penny Heyns of South Africa in the 100 breaststroke. Quann won in 1:07.05, but she was well off her intended target Heyns' world record of 1:06.52. "I'm very happy, but I'm not quite satisfied," Quann said. "I'd like to come out here, do it again and break the world record."

    Pieter appeared in the golden TV show on Dec-26 together with 6 other Olympic gold medal winners. The same Dutch TV channel (Nederland 2) will show a documentary of Pieter on Dec-31 at 7pm. Pieter has just been chosen sportsman of the year 2000 in holland for the second year in a row! SPYKKE® Swimming dutch stars Inge DE BRUIJN and Pieter van den HOOGENBAND were named "Wolrd Swimmers of the Year" by Swimming World Magazine. The duo were also named "European Swimmers of the Year"; the other honored swimmers was Brooke Bennett, "American Swimmer of the Year", and Lenny Krayzelburg with Tom Dolan who shared honors for the American male swimmer. Aussie Ian Thorpe, who has "World Swimmer" honors in 1998 and 1999, and Susie O'Neill were named "Pacific Swimmers of the Year". Insweep Inge de Bruijn and Pieter van den Hoogenband will start their preparation for next year's World Championships in Japan. Since FINA introduced the 50m event for every stroke De Bruijn will try to be the first swimmer to win five individual titles at the Championships considering adding the 200 butterfly to her programme: "I'm not really sure yet and I have to talk it over with my coach" she said. While her teammate van den Hoogenband will try to lower his 100 and 200 free world records: "My swims at the Games weren't perfect, I made mistakes; if I train as hard as I did for the Olympics then there's no reason why not," he said. "I'm also thinking adding the 50m butterfly. There's always going to be pressure on me to win but it doesn't worry me I'm just doing it for myself."

    Big hopes for pool giants Date: 10/07/01
    Source: BBC Swimming's world governing body is pinning its hopes on two Olympic titans to focus attention at the World Championships on what happens inside the pool. Australia's Ian Thorpe and Dutchman Piet van den Hoogenband are set to renew their Sydney rivalry in the championships in Fukuoka, Japan (16-29 July) In the process, they will attempt to wipe away some of the scandalous memories from the last World Championships in Perth three years ago. FINA is set to introduce its toughest ever drug-testing programme at the championships, and executive director Cornel Marculescu said: "We don't want to see what happened in Perth happen again." The championships in Perth three years ago were rocked when Australian customs officials found 13 vials of human growth hormones in Chinese swimmer Yuan Yuan's luggage. Yuan was suspended for four years, her coach Zhou Zhewen was banned for 15 years after admitting that he packed her bag, and four other Chinese swimmers also tested positive for a diuretic. Random tests

    To avoid a repeat, FINA will carry out more than 350 tests to include competitors in open water swimming, water polo, diving, synchronized swimming and the pool events.

    SYDNEY, Australia Misty Hyman sank Madame Butterfly. Hyman, a 21-year-old from Phoenix, stunned defending champion Susie O'Neill of Australia to win the 200-meter butterfly Wednesday in front of a raucous Aussie crowd at the Olympic pool. "I had to look three times, I really did," Hyman said. "Then I started screaming and shaking." Pieter van den Hoogenband won his second gold medal Wednesday. Hyman led all the way to win in an Olympic record 2 minutes, 5.88 seconds, just missing O'Neill's world record by seven one-hundredths of a second. "I've played it over so many times in my head, but I never thought it would come true," said Hyman, who, discouraged by health problems and slow times, was ready to quit swimming in May. In her signature race, O'Neill finished second in 2:06.58. Petria Thomas of Australia took bronze in 2:07.12. O'Neill, known as "Madame Butterfly," broke the oldest record in swimming in May at the Australian Olympic trials when she lowered Mary T. Meagher's 19-year-old world record.

    Dutchman ties own world record
    Associated Press
    SYDNEY, Australia The Flying Dutchman stunned the Thorpedo and an entire nation. With millions of swimming-crazed Aussies watching on television and thousands cheering in person, Pieter van den Hoogenband upset Ian Thorpe in the men's 200-meter freestyle, winning Olympic gold and tying his own world record in 1:45.35. Pieter van den Hoogenband, below, denied Ian Thorpe a third gold medal in Sydney. Denied a third gold medal, Thorpe earned silver 24 hours after Van den Hoogenband broke Thorpe's world record in the semifinals. Thorpe finished in 1:45.83. Massimiliano Rosolino of Italy took bronze in 1:46.65. "We came to the lion's den and we did it," said Cees-Rijn van den Hoogenband, Pieter's father. "Pieter is the sleeping kind and all of a sudden he awakes." Van den Hoogenband and Thorpe were even at the 150-meter mark when cheers of "Thorpey, Thorpey" reverberated throughout the Sydney International Aquatic Center. The Dutchman began pulling away in the middle of the pool.
