-- August 14, 2004
By Stephen J. Thomas
ATHENS, August 14. THE world record-holder and reigning Olympic champion Yana Klochkova will be tough to beat tonight, swimming the only time in prelims under 4:40.
American Kaitlin Sandeno swimming in the next lane in the same heat took full advantage to trail the Ukrainian champ home and qualify second in 4:40.21..
Argentinean Georgina Bardach and Hungarian Olympic silver medalist Eva Risztov were next through both in 4:41.20, with German Nicole Hetzer(4:41.74) and Brazilian Joanna Melo (4:42.01) an outside chance to fight for medals.
The other finalists were Greek Vasiliki Angelopoulou (4:44.90) and South Korean Yoo-Sun Nam (4:45.16).
US trials winner, 15-year-old Katie Hoff had a very disappointing swim in her first Olympics, finishing almost 10 full seconds off her world-leading 4:37.67 from Trials. Hoff touched in 17th place (4:47.49), just ahead of German teen phenom, Theresa Rohmann, who was a disappointing 18th..
