Here we go for day 2. The only record I really hope for is Ireen Wüst to break the 1500m WR, since that has always been a big dream of hers and it'd be really cool to do it as sort of a memory for Paulien van Deutekom (who's stuff is being auctioned these days to fund the fight against lung cancer).

Brittany Bowe shatters Heather Bergsma's 1500m WR, pretty cool after shitloads of injuries, random nearly-faintings and other weird and painful stuff.

Well if Takagi goes sub-1:50, it's up to the men to go sub-1:40 :p

Like how? Sub 1:50?! This seems unreal. :yikes:

Only 22 years ago Ids Postma was the first man to do so :d

Patrick Roest is the new all-time world leader, after Shani Davis has held that position for a LONG time.

insane...totally insane...

these must be the 2 craziest days I've seen in this sport...

sadly it all reminds me the 2009 swimming worlds...and beyond the obvious excitement of the moment, definitely not a good thing for the sport...

Quite a bad comparison, since in swimming they did so with suits that became illegal after a while. Here everything falls into place (top shape, top conditions, everything), which might happen again even though it'd take some years.
