swimming world champs in rome came to an end. alot of uproar over michael phelps' one defeat. his coach said he should stay off competitions until the ban over the swimsuits come into effect.

someone was saying records are not important, because records will be broken. medals are more important, because it belongs to you once and for all.

unless of course, you fail some doping test.

in any case, i just love the expression on her face after her win, when she registers surprise at breaking her own record set in the semis. such showmanship.

and of course, i love it when she wins, because it means the italian national anthem would be played.
