Special Weekend Edition of The Morning Swim Show Takes Look at FINA World Cup Action

PHOENIX, Arizona, November 15. THE final stop of the FINA World Cup is this weekend in Berlin, Germany in what will be the last call of a great series of fast swimming in 2008.

If you want to watch the final cup event LIVE, go to fina.org or UniversalSports.com

For those who may have missed some of the past action from the series, we'd like to show you some of the highlights now, including a few world records at three of the stops on the circuit.

We'll start in Sydney, where Matt Jaukovic broke the world record in the 50 fly in his first race as an Australian.

Australian Robert Hurley then followed suit with a world record of his own in the 50 backstroke.

Two weeks later at the Moscow stop, South Africa's Cameron van der Burgh would get in on the action with two world records. He started with a record in the 50 breast, and then broke a long-standing mark by the great Ed Moses in the 100 breast the very next day.

Two days later in Stockholm, Sweden, van der Burgh reset his world mark in the 50 breast with a 25.94, the first person to dip under 26 seconds in the event.

But the Stockholm meet belonged to Peter Marshall, who took down Ryan Lochte's world record in the 100 back and then snatched Hurley's world record in the 50 back the following day.

Once again, the final stop of the FINA World Cup series is this weekend in Berlin, Germany. If you want to watch it live, go to fina.org or UniversalSports.com
