The Thorpedo Strikes Back, Swamps Hoogie in 200m Free in Paris

By Phillip Whitten

PARIS, Jan. 18. YESTERDAY Holland's Pieter van den Hoogenband disposed of Australia's Ian Thorpe in their much-ballyhooed 100m freestyle match-up at the Paris World Cup meet with astonishing ease.

The Dutchman clocked 47.41 seconds, while his southern hemisphere rival languished in fifth place, nearly a second in arrears. To make matters worse, Thorpe could manage only an 18th place finish in the prelims of the 50m free.

Today, the featured race was the 200m freestyle, and The Thorpedo struck back with a vengeance. Thorpe breezed to victory in 1:41.86 — history's secvond fastest performance — more than 1.3 seconds ahead of Hoogie at 1:43.18.

It was the first time the two had met since their clash at the 2001 World Championships in fukuoka, Japan, where Thorpe took the gold in world record time.

Ukraine's Oleg Lisogor became the meet's only triple winner when he edged Japan's Kosuke Kitajima in the 100m breast, 58.57 to 58.76. Yesterday, the Ukrainian woreld champion won the 50 breast and 100 IM.
