THE United States&#39; contingent of Margaret Hoelzer, Jessica Hardy, Rachel Komisarz and Kara Denby knocked half-a-second from the world record in the women&#39;s 400 medley relay to close the third night of swimming at the FINA World Short Course Championships.<\/p>\n<p>The foursome clocked a time of 3:51.36 to break the 3:51.84 world and meet record set by Australia back in 2006. The swim also broke the American record of 3:55.68 set back in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a comparison of the new and old world-record splits:<br \/>\nAustralia: Tayliah Zimmer (58.54), Jade Edmistone (1:04.95), Jessicah Schipper (56.36), Libby Lenton (51.99)<\/p>\n<p>United States: Margaret Hoelzer (58.79), Jessica Hardy (1:03.98), Rachel Komisarz (55.93), Kara Denby (52.66).<\/p>\n<p>The Australians pushed them the whole way as Rachel Goh, Sarah Katsoulis, Felicity Galvez and Alice Mills touched second in 3:52.01, while Great Britain&#39;s Elizabeth Simmonds, Kate Haywood, Jemma Lowe and Fran Halsall placed third in 3:53.02.  Great Britain crushed its national record of 3:59.80 set during prelims.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Netherlands team of Hinkelien Schreuder, Jolijn van Valkengoed, Inge Dekker and Marleen Veldhuis set a national record with a fourth-place 3:56.07.  The previous record had been a 4:00.63 from prelims.<\/p>\n<p>In fifth place, Russia&#39;s squad of Ksenia Moskvina, Yuliya Efimova, Daria Belyakina and Kira Volodina broke a national record with a 3:58.38.  That readout wiped away the 4:00.34 set during prelims as well.<\/p>\n<p>Another national record fell when South Africa&#39;s team of Melissa Corfe, Suzaan van Biljon, Mandy Loots and Lize-Mari Retief touched seventh in 4:00.73.  That nipped the 4:00.88 set back in 2002.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of three days of swimming, nine world records have fallen with an astounding five falling during the third day of action.<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/65.110.72.225\/SPIPDF\/041108wscmw400MRf.pdf target=_blank>Event Results<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Viewers from the United States, click here to watch all the races at WCSN.com for FREE.
