I'm pretty sure the Phelps final is 10:18 eastern.

Coach, what's up with all the world records? (some by more than 1 second, even after a "bad start") Are the speedo's that good?
Track&Field records never get broken by that much.

it was covered earlier in the thread, these new suits they're wearing have a lot to do with it.

Jim I think it's in the thread about beating the French in the 4 X 100 meter medley Sunday night

Also...

Outside of Phelps and the relay the times aren't getting smashed. Since 1996 you can track the progression of Olympic swimmers and you'll notice how much depth there is now compared to 1996. This helps explain the dramatic drop in time on the free relay. The suit and pool have a little to do with it.

I ordered a LZR racer and will test it out. If I drop a significant amount of time I'll let you guys know. Doubt that will happen though.

In order to prevent me from curb stomping a random stranger and pretending they're a poster on this forum I'm going to say it's 100% the suit. It's a symbiote.
