ON THE COVER:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the USA-Europe Duel in the Pool in December 2015, American Cody<\/strong> Miller<\/strong> beat world record holder Daniel<\/strong> Gyurta<\/strong> in the 200 breaststroke (SCM) while trimming 5-hundredths of a second off the American record. The next day, Miller added the U.S. mark in the 100 breast. The Brits may boast a world record holder (Adam<\/strong> Peaty<\/strong>) and a 59-flat 100 breaststroker (Ross Murdoch), while South Africa (Cameron van der Burgh) and Lithuania (Giedrius Titenis) have swimmers who dipped under 59 in 2015. But they all should have formidable American breaststrokers nipping at their heels this Olympic year, including Miller, Nic Fink, Andrew Wilson and Kevin Cordes.\u00a0<\/i>(See story, page 26.)<\/i><\/p>\n
