It is so obvious that swimmers' natural ability is not responsible for the records being broken. It's shameful that the world body hasn't banned the use of these suits by any country since it places the 'haves' (money) against the 'have nots' (money). I'd be ashamed to break a record…

Tyson Gay's comments: "I honestly think we were on the same rhythm, but his stride pattern was longer, and he was covering more ground [than Gay was] with every stride."

It will be great to see the rivalry between Asafa Powell and Usain Bolt over the next few months/years. They are good friends and both train locally in Jamaica but are very serious when it comes to their races. It's good to see that the 2 fastest men in the…
