ATHENS, Greece August 19. THE dynamic new star player in women’s swimming, French 17-year-old Laure Manaudou, set a cracking pace this morning in the 800 meter freestyle, flipping at the 400m in 4:11.21 to set the fastest time of 8:25.91 (19th fastest all-time performer).
British swimmer Rebecca Cooke qualified second fastest when she clocked 8:28.47, her fastest time for the year, ahead of Japan’s Ai Shibata (8:30.08).
American Diana Munz looked very comfortable in fourth place (8:31.06) as did Kalyn Keller, sixth in 8:32.36.
Thirty year-old German veteran, Jana Henke, made it in 8:31.06 as did Spaniard Erika Villaecija (8:33.61) and Romanian Simona Paduraru (8:34.15).
Notable non-qualifiers were: world number one, Japan’s Sachiko Yamada; 2003 world champion, German Hannah Stockbauer; Swiss Flavia Rigamonti; Canada’s hope Brittany Reimer; and 200 free gold medalist Camelia Potec.
