USA Defeats Australia 196-74 in “Duel in the Pool “
By Phillip Whitten
INDIANAPOLIS, April 6. SEVENTEEN year-old Michael Phelps turned in a historic performance as the United States crushed Australia 196-74 in the Mutual of Omaha "Duel in the Pool," a dual meet between the world's two strongest aquatic powers to determine which is Number One. The meet was held at the famed IUPUI Natatorium in Indianapolis.
The Australians fought gamely but were hampered by the absence of World Swimmer of the Year, Ian Thorpe, and nine other top Aussie swimmers, including five world champions.
Phelps was unstoppable, though he fell short of his goal of setting "two or three" world records in the one-day meet. He managed "only" one world record among his three individual wins: a brilliant 4:10.73 for the 400 meters individual medley.
Forty-eight minutes later he set an American record of 51.84 seconds in the 100 meter butterfly, history's second-fastest time and only three-hundredths of a second shy of Michael Klim's global standard.
Less than an hour later, he came storming from behind on the final stroke of the 200 meter butterfly to overtake 2000 Olympic champion Tom Malchow and post his third victory in 1:55.17, seven-hundredths of a second ahead of Malchow. Phelps ended his day by swimming the fly leg on the USA's US Open record-setting 400m medley relay team (3:34.20).
The Australians could manage only five — or possibly six– victories in the 26-event program. Controversy erupted when 18 year-old Libby Lenton scored a decisive win in the 50 meter freestyle in 24.92 seconds — Australian record time — only to be dsiqualified for false-starting several minutes later, just as she was about to begin a television interview with NBC.
A review of the tape appeared to indicate that Lenton did not false start, but FINA rules do not permit tape reviews (though they have been used several times in the past two years). The official ruling let the disqualification stand, but a FINA Technical Committee member ruled that the time would be allowed to stand as an Australian record.
Lenton also won the 100 meter freestyle in a personal best 54.71, outswimming American Jenny Thompson.
Five other swimmers were double winners in individual events. Australia's Grant Hackett turned in the most difficult double, first winning the 200 meter free in 1:46.64 after a strong challenge from the USA's Klete Keller. Ten minutes later, the world record-holder was on the blocks again, this time taking the 1500 meters in 14:48.34 — a time only he and Kieren Perkins have ever bettered.
The USA's Ed Moses challenged the world records in both the 100 and 200m breaststroke events before settling for wins in 1:00.29 and 2;10.49.
Two-time Olympian Amanda Beard won the same two events for the women, taking the 100 breast in 1:08.17 and the 200 in 2:25.77.
The incomparable Natalie Coughlin won the women's 100 backstroke (1:00.74), defeating training partner Haley Cope by less than a second. She also took the 100m fly in 58.70.
Kaitlin Sandeno, a 2000 Olympian, won a difficult double: the 400m medley (4:41.89) and 200m butterfly (2:10.69), both by narrow margins.
