Olympic pool additions technology help athletes
The Associated Press
SYDNEY, Australia — When swimmer Lenny Krayzeburg arrived from a 15-hour flight in early September for pre-Olympic training, there was only one place he wanted to be.
An hour after unpacking his bags, the American backstroker who set two world records at the Sydney International Aquatic Center at last August's Pan Pacific championships was back in the Olympic pool.
"I just jumped in and felt like new again," he said.
"There's something magical about it."
And fast. Twelve world records have been set or equaled after six days of the Olympic swim program, including five on the opening night, adding to the 12 world marks that were set at the PanPacs.
At the Australian trials in the same pool in May, Susie O'Neill broke four world records in three days, Ian Thorpe three in three days.
While the skinlight bodysuits have been credited with improving times at the Sydney Games — where Krayzelburg completed the 100-200 gold double with a win in the 200 meters yesterday — the world records at the PanPacs were set before most of the top swimmers were wearing the new suits.
Krayzelburg's time of 1:58.40 seconds Wednesday in qualifying for the 200 broke an eight-year Olympic record of 1:58.40 held by Spain's Martin Lopez-Zubero. He bettered the Olympic record in yesterday's final with a time of 1:56.76.
Also Wednesday, Inge de Bruijn of the Netherlands broke her own world record in the 100-meter freestyle to add to her 100 butterfly mark she set Sunday.
What helps make the pool quicker than most is the newest technology — anti-wave lane ropes, extra lanes, a level wet-deck and water depth of 10 feet that reduces turbulence.
Angled starting blocks with handle bars, ozone treated water, temperature controls of the air and water, vibrant colors around the pool and energetic music all play a part.
Lane ropes used to be strings of decorated wire but now they are thick plastic devices that prevent water spilling from one lane into the next. Starting blocks, once flat, are angled slightly to hasten take-offs.
The wet deck is at water level, allowing waves to wash over the side and through drains instead of rebounding across the pool. There are 10 lanes, and although the outside two are not used, the extra lanes allow side waves to dissipate.
Ozone treatment of the water helps visibility and reduces the taste, smell and eye soreness that comes from chlorine. Colors around the pool can also help. The end of each lane is bright yellow.
Swimmers also warm up to music. Santana's "Smooth," Shaina Tianna's "I Feel Like A Woman," INXS's "New Sensation" and Smashmouth's "AllStar" are among the Olympic pool-selections.
Pieter van den Hoogenband of the Netherlands, who has set two world records in Sydney, isn't convinced any of that makes any difference: "The pool is nice, but the swimmers are all great, too."
But American Tom Malchow, who set an Olympic record while winning gold in the 200 butterfly, says the pool has spurred on the competitors.
"The way everything's going, it looks like you have to come close to a world record in every race to win it." he said.
BLACKTOWN, Australia — Lisa Fernandez says her Olympic experience has been a nightmare. What's worse, it's a recurring one.
Americans lose third softball game
The Associated Press
"I was sitting in the locker room thinking. 'It can't happen again,'" Fernandez said. "But one thing about Atlanta is, we won the gold."
In a game reminiscent of her loss in the 1998 Games, the U.S. softball team's star pitcher cruised through a scoreless game and into extra innings against Australia yesterday — then gave up a two-run homer to lose 2-1.
"It like this voodoo that's over us," said Christie Ambrosi, of Overland Park, who singled in the top of the 13th to give the United States a short-lived lead. "But it's got to end sometime."
Yesterday's defeat was the Americans' third straight loss in Sydney, a stunning string for a team that had won 112 in a row and was heavily favored in these Olympics. The United States had never lost three straight international games, but it has now lost as many games in these Olympics as it had since the last ones.
Four years ago in Atlanta, Fernandez had a perfect game through nine innings of a scoreless game before the United States scored in the top of the 10th. She got the first two outs in the bottom of the inning, then gave up a two-run homer to Australia's Joanne Brown.
It was the Americans' only loss of the inaugural Olympic softball tournament. Fernandez sobbed after the game, and she stewed about it for the past four years while waiting for an opportunity to make amends.
She had her chance on yesterday.
She had her chance on yesterday.
Fernandez struck out an Olympic record 25 batters
and allowed only one hit into the 13th. She retired
the first batter, and then got Brown to ground out to leave the Americans one out from a victory.
Then Fernandez threw a "drop pitch" that didn't drop, and Peta Edebone knocked it over the left-field fence. The ending brought both teams to tears.
"I can now understand the emotions Joey went through in 1986." Edebone said about Joanne Brown. "It's a feeling that takes over you. When I rounded third and I looked at my teammates at home plate all crying, I burst into tears."
The memories of the 1996 game and the burgeoning rivalry between the teams made yesterday's matchup a crucial one for both sides. Australia was the only team to beat the Americans from the '96 Games until these. But the game became increasingly important when both lost to Japan — and then the Americans lost to China.
The top four in the eight-team tournament advance to the medal round. The third and fourth place teams would have to win an extra game to win the gold medal.
"I don't think I've ever been a part of a bigger challenge than we're in right now," Fernandez said. "If we come back and win the gold, there will be no sweeter win."
That will happen only if the Americans start hitting. They are batting .181 as a team, with Fernandez still looking for her first hit after 18 at-bats.
"It's almost like the Olympics isn't real," she said. "I'm 0-for whatever at the plate, and I was already nervous coming in because of the expectations. I want someone to pinch me and wake me from this nightmare."
