That he did, and taught young Thorpey a lesson in never underestimating someone and in always expecting to roll over top of the opposition. Van den Hoogenband was the male swimmer of the Olympics without a doubt - no Aussie in his right mind would argue with that. On the same note, I think there is a widening gap between the two now. It will be interesting to see if Ian has the speed to take out the 100m as well won't it
. I am expecting he won't.......just yet .------------------

Gee, I tried not to bite, I did, I did, but I just couldn't help myself
. Just a reminder that Thorpey's best time is now, what, something like a second and a half lower than PVdH's best (Olympics, Championships or otherwise) for the 200m. I haven't Pieter blaming the loss on poor training - both of these dudes are great friends and sportsmen. He acknowledges there is a gap, and most right thinking people would agree with him . ------------------
