PHOENIX, Arizona, November 4. THIS past week continued the recent run of ground-breaking news across the swimming spectrum. Reader feedback kept pouring in on the Beijing Olympic morning finals controversy, while the IOC flatly rejected any protests about the move. Additionally, the college season persisted as it offered up some jaw-dropping performances for such early meets in the calendar.
We also heard a lot from our Australian correspondent Stephen J. Thomas as he not only previewed the Speedo AIS Invitational currently going on, he also took a look at South Korean sensation Tae Hwan Park.
