FINA World Championships
Indianapolis, IN

10.10.04

The finals  session Saturday night was unbelievable again, for me hearing Libby Lenton's coach speak then seeing her swim was so interesting.  All the events were
exciting but again watching the Americans bring home the gold is awesome!  Jenny Thompson winning the gold was incredible and the crowd let her know how well loved and respected she is!  It was announced that the stadium had a record 11,000 there to watch swimming!  I know I am behind on my updates so remind everyone to go to the USA/FINA page for real time results and to watch on ESPN 2 live!

Hi, this has been so exciting.  The pool that was built inside this very famous basketball arena is incredible.  The meet is staged with music and lighting that makes the athletes real stars!  There isn't a bad seat in the house and the crowd is so enthusiastic.  There are many swim clubs from around the country that have brought there teams here to watch.  It has been very exciting, last night at finals the men's relay team just touched out Australia for the gold and of course watching USA take home gold with Aaron Piersol, Haley Cope, Brendon Hanson and Ian Crocker was awesome! However watching Ben Michaelson compete was the most exciting thing for me! He represents Connecticut well, and his presence here makes us all so proud.  I will try to send some pictures from tonight's races.
