Peringkat 1-3 PON XVIII Masuk Pelatnas SEA Games

JAKARTA, AKUATIK INDONESIA - Pelatnas SEA Games Myanmar 2013 akan digelar mulai 1 Oktober dan para atlet penghuni Pelatnas nantinya disaring dari PON XVIII/2012 di Riau September, kata Ketua Umum KONI Pusat, Tono Suratman.
   
Menurut Tono, mereka yang keluar sebagai juara dan peringkat tiga besar di PON akan dipanggil untuk melanjutkan pembinaan terpusat di bawah Satlak Prima.
  
"Kami tertolong dengan adanya PON dalam melakukan seleksi atlet untuk SEA Games 2013 nanti. Pada PON sendiri, saya berharap terciptanya pemecahan rekor nasional untuk peningkatan mutu prestasi atlet nasional. Hal ini dapat membantu KONI Pusat dan program Satlak Prima agar dappat segera memonitoring dan evaluasi untuk pelatnas jangka pendek SEA Games," ungkap Tono Suratman di Jakarta.
  
Tono menambahkan, jumlah atlet Pelatnas SEA Games 2013 dimulai dari 150 persen. Jumlah tersebut akan diisi oleh sekitar 1.200an atlet nasional. Jumlah tersebut berbeda dengan Pelatnas SEA Games 2011 di Jakarta dan Palembang lalu, di mana dimulai dari 200 persen, katanya.
   
Alasannya, agar proses persiapan para atlet menjadi lebih efisien dan efektif. Mengenai SK, akan diambil berdasarkan data PON yang dinilainya sudah akurat.  "Ke depannya, sebagai pelajaran dan perlu digarisbawahi, tidak boleh lagi adanya keterlambatan anggaran dan peralatan. Untuk memenangkan suatu pertandingan, segala sesuatu persiapannya harus penuh. Dengan hasil ini, maka SK pun akan langsung dihitung per 1 Oktober," tegasnya.
  
Sementara itu, di SEA Games 2013 nanti, cabang unggulan Indonesia seperti sepatu roda dan panjat dinding tidak dipertandingkan. Pasalnya pada SEA Games sebelumnya di Indonesia, Merah Putih mendominasi perolehan medali emas. Hal ini mengakibatkan menurunnya potensi medali Tanah Air untuk mempertahankan gelar juara umum.
  
Sedangkan mengenai pembiayaan, Tono mengatakan sisa APBN 2012 masih mencukupi untuk mengadakan Pelatnas. Sisa anggaran tersebut berjumlah sekitar Rp 200 miliar. Selanjutnya, pihaknya akan tetap meminta kepada pemerintah dari APBN 2013. (Kompas.com)

Perenang Semarang Berjaya di Arena Popda

SEMARANG, RENANG INDONESIA - Perenang Kota Semarang berjaya dalam arena Pekan Olahraga Pelajar Daerah (Popda) Jateng tingkat SMA yang berlangsung di Kolam Renang Jatidiri, Selasa (28/8). Mereka mempersembahkan enam emas, tiga perunggu, dan 10 perunggu untuk kontingen Kota Lumpia sekaligus menyandang juara umum cabang ini.

Keenam emas Kota Semarang dipersembahkan oleh Jonathan Budiman (400 meter gaya bebas putera), Joshua Harli (100 meter gaya punggung, 200 meter gaya bebas,  200 meter gaya punggung, 50 meter gaya punggung) serta Annisa Utami (200 gaya ganti perseorangan putri).

Setingkat di bawah Semarang ditempati oleh Kabupaten Banjarnegara dengan enam emas, satu perak dan dua perunggu. Di tempat ketiga bercokol Kabupaten Banyumas dengan tiga emas, lima perak dan lima perunggu.

Prestasi gemilang Kota Lumpia ini tak lepas dari peran Joshua Harli yang menyumbangan empat emas. Diperkirakan ia menjadi atlet peraih emas terbanyak di ajang tahunan yang diselenggarakan oleh Dinas Pendidikan dan Olahraga (Dinpora) Jateng ini.

Sementara itu, langkah tim sepak bola Semarang untuk mempertahankan emas tiga kali berturut-turut semakin berat. Pasalnya, di pertandingan pertama melawan Kudus di Lapangan Arhanudse, Selasa (28/8), Kota Lumpia dipaksa menyerah 0-1.

Mau tidak mau, skuad arahan Ashadi harus mampu memenangi pertandingan kedua melawan Cilacap, Rabu (29/8) pagi di tempat yang sama. Pasalnya, hanya satu tim terbaik yang berhak melaju ke final. Sementara runner-up grup hanya akan memperebutkan tempat ketiga.

Popda cabang sepak bola sendiri diikuti enam tim yang dibagi menjadi dua grup. Di Grup A dihuni Semarang, Kudus, dan Cilacap, sedangkan Grup B bersaing Magelang, Batang, dan Surakarta. Pada Popda 2010 dan 2011, Semarang meraih emas di cabang sepak bola.

Kasi Olahraga Prestasi Dinsospora Kota Semarang Jarot Murdiyanto menyatakan, dengan hasil ini pihaknya yakin mampu mempertahankan juara umum. "Kami optimistis Semarang mampu mempertahankan gelar juara umum meski atlet yang diturunkan tidak sebanyak tahun lalu. Renang memang menjadi andalam kami mendulang emas," tandasnya. (suaramerdeka)

Junior Pan Pacific Championships: Akihiro Yamaguchi Nudges U.S. Open Record, Follows With Sub-1:00 Breast Split; Becca Mann Downs 28-Year-Old U.S. National Age Group Record; Jack Conger Triples

HONOLULU, Hawaii, RENANG INDONESIA (August 26). WHILE there was a smattering of swift swims throughout the first three evenings at the Junior Pan Pacific Championships, the assembled swimmers decided to leave everything at the pool with a barrage of jaw-dropping swims to conclude pool swimming at the meet

In the men's 200 breast, Japan's Akihiro Yamaguchi solidified himself as the top breaststroker ever to grace this meet. Two years ago, he already set the meet record in the 200 with a 2:13.43. This morning, he blasted a 2:10.44 to lower that meet record. He followed that up in the finale with a scorching time of 2:08.03, just off his third-ranked time of 2:07.84 from the Japanese High School Championships. His time this evening is the 15th-fastest all time, while just missing Eric Shanteau's U.S. Open record of 2:08.01 set in Indianapolis in 2009. His teammate Kazuki Kohinata finished second in 2:13.13, while USA's Eric Ronda wound up third in 2:13.89.

Shanteau was paying attention as he retweeted Swimming World's live tweet about the swim stating "Well that was close." 

Earlier in the meet, Yamaguchi became the first Junior Pan Pac swimmer to ever clear 1:00 in the 100 breast with a 59.85 for the win. That swim came up short of his Japanese High School record time of 59.56 set earlier this month. Yamaguchi's swims this summer demonstrate just how quick the torch can be passed. Heading into the 2012 London Olympics, the swimming world wondered is Kosuke Kitajima could pull off a pair of threepeats in the 100 and 200 breast. After missing out on those feats, Kitajima not only has veteran Ryo Tateishi on his heels in both events, he also has Yamaguchi surpassing him in the 200 breast this year.

Yamaguchi also produced an awe-inspiring breaststroke split with a 59.55 to lead Japan to the 400 medley relay victory. Japan crushed the field with a meet record in the men's event. Takeshi Kawamoto (55.35), Yamaguchi (59.55), Seto (53.21) and Kenta Hirai (49.56) put together a smoking-fast time of 3:37.67. Yamaguchi went into the water with less than half-a-second to make up as Kawamoto did enough to stay close to USA's Jack Conger on the backstroke leg. Yamaguchi then blew the door open with a split a full three seconds faster than the field. USA's Conger (54.93), Will Licon (1:02.86), Maclin Davis (52.66) and Matt Ellis (48.92) wound up taking second in 3:39.37, while Australia's Regan Leong, Buster Sykes, David Morgan and Alexander Graham finished third in 3:44.03.

USA's Becca Mann also put together a special swim this evening, downing a 28-year-old U.S. National Age Group record for the 13-14 age division in the 1500 free. Michele Richardson originally set the record back in 1984 with an ahead-of-her-time performance of 16:12.57. Tonight, Mann, 14, raced to victory in 16:11.98, blasting her previous personal best of 16:14.41 from the U.S. Open earlier this month. Mann shot to fifth in the world in the event this year, although most of the female distance swimmers were focused on the Olympic 800-meter distance this year. All-time, Mann shot to 36th, just behind a 16:11.97 clocked by Tiffany Cohen back in 1983. USA's Danielle Valley provided the Stars and Stripes a 1-2 with a 16:26.93 for second, while Australia's Laura Crockart took third in 16:30.82 out of the early heat.

Incidentally, Mann's time also bested the meet record of 16:18.12 set by Stephanie Williams of Austrlaia back in 2005. Mann added gold to her resume from this meet after taking silver behind Leah Smith in the 800 free on night one.

USA's Jack Conger earned his third individual crown of the meet with a blazing time of 22.69 in the men's 50 free. During prelims, he clocked a 22.72 for his first time under 23 seconds, as his previous personal best had been a 23.23 from the 2012 NCSA Junior National Championships in March. With his time tonight, he moved within striking distance of the top 50 in the world. Andrew Abood and Lucio Spadaro hold that spot with matching 22.34s from earlier this year. Australia's Regan Leong took second tonight in 23.02, while USA's Erik Risolvato snared third in 23.17.

Conger added tonight's win to his two previous individual triumphs. During night one, he set the 17-18 U.S. National Age Group record in the 100 back with a 54.07. That swim surpassed Aaron Peirsol's 54.47 from 2002. Conger then swept the backstroke events with a 1:57.20 in the men's 200 back to lower the meet record. He also helped the men's 400 free relay to a triumphant meet-record 3:18.67 with a 49.37 split.

USA's Chase Kalisz threw down another epic effort, this time leading to an IM sweep at the meet. Kalisz utilized a remarkable breaststroke leg of 33.42 to wind up with a 1:59.51 for the men's 200 IM triumph. That swim cleared the meet record of 2:00.61 set by David Nolan of the U.S. back in 2010, and bettered Kalisz' lifetime best of 1:59.66 from U.S. Olympic Trials earlier this summer. Tonight's effort jumped him from 28th in the world rankings to 25th, just clipping Kenneth To's 1:59.57 for a top-25 spot. Japan's Daiya Seto also undercut the previous meet record with a 2:00.33, while his compatriot Keita Sunama matched the previous mark with a 2:00.61.

The win gave Kalisz an IM sweep for the meet, having already turned in a stunning time of 4:12.59 in the men's 400 IM. That swim shot him up to 14th in the world rankings, and put him in strong position for a 2013 Worlds berth with Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps both out of the 400 IM going forward. In the 200 IM, Kalisz is the fourth-fastest American this year behind Phelps (1:54.27), Lochte (1:54.90) and Conor Dwyer (1:58.32). He jumped ahead of Austin Surhoff (1:59.58) tonight.

Australia's Matt Levings added the men's 800 free title to his 400 free victory from earlier in the meet. This evening, he crushed the field in the distance event with a dominant 7:56.94. That swim cut nearly two seconds from Ryan Napoleon's 2009 record of 7:58.66, and pushed Levings to 14th in the world rankings in the non-Olympic event. He jumped ahead of David McKeon (7:57.22) to be the top Aussie in the event this year. Canada's William Brothers placed second in 7:59.69, while Japan's Shogo Takeda snagged third in 8:00.43.

Canada earned another 1-2 sweep in the women's breaststroke events. After Kierra Smith (1:08.54) and Mariya Chekanovych (1:08.55) had a barnburner finish in the 100 on Friday night, the two provided Canada with another strong effort in the 200. Smith (2:25.78) and Chekanovych (2:25.96) both surpassed the 200 breast meet record of 2:26.47 set by Rebecca Kemp of Australia in 2010. Smith trumped her 37th-ranked time of 2:26.73 to jump to 26th in the world, while Chekanovych now stands 31st in the world rankings with her swim. USA's Annie Zhu rounded out the podium with a third-place time of 2:26.65, crushing her previous top time of 2:27.23 from the U.S. Olympic Trials this summer.

Canada's Erika Seltenreich-Hodgson threw down a dominant freestyle leg to capture the women's 200 IM title in 2:12.93. That swim vaulted her to 30th overall in the world this year, which cut more than a second off her seed time of 2:13.94 heading into the meet. She nearly became the fastest Canadian this year, trailing only Julia Wilkinson (2:12.78) from Canadian Trials. Seltenreich-Hodgson did surpass Erica Morningstar (2:12.99) as the second-best Canadian this year.

Japan's Chihiro Igarashi placed second in 2:14.04, while USA's Celina Li snared third in 2:14.16. Li had the chance to compete in the finale after Annie Zhu, who qualified fifth, scratched to pull Li in as the second American. Kaitlyn Jones of the U.S., who led qualifying in 2:14.75, placed fourth in 2:14.31. Dagny Knutson's 2:10.79 from 2009 remained in the books as the meet standard.

Australia's Alexandra Purcell dominated the women's 50 free with a triumphant time of 25.15, just missing her 28th-ranked best from Trials of 25.05. USA's Olivia Smoliga snared second in 25.39, cutting time from her preliminary effort of 25.78. Her performance tonight undercut her lifetime best of 25.66 set at the U.S. Olympic Trials earlier this summer. Australia's Ellen O'Rourke gave her country a 1-3 finish in the splash-and-dash with a 25.40. USA's Simone Manuel just missed the podium with a 25.45 after winning the 100 free in 54.80 earlier in the meet. Yolane Kukla's meet record of 24.74 from 2010 held up to the pressure.

The 400 medley relays closed out the evening, and pool swimming at this meet. USA's Olivia Smoliga (1:01.70), Annie Zhu (1:08.44), Katie Kinnear (59.58) and Simone Manuel (54.21) held off a game Canadian squad with a near-meet record time of 4:03.93. Canada's Sydney Pickrem (1:02.65), Kierra Smith (1:08.62), Noemie Thomas (58.89) and Victoria Chan (55.51) placed second in 4:05.67. Japan's Maho Tsujimoto, Miku Kanasahsi, Rino Hosoda and Mao Kawakami earned third in 4:07.22.

Heading into tomorrow's open water 10K events, Team USA holds an insurmountable team tally of 449.5 points. Australia leads Japan by just 1.5 points, 318.5 to 317 points, while Canada will take fourth with 243 points. New Zealand (54), Hong Kong (23) and Mexico (1) placed fifth through seventh.(swimmingworld)

Pesta Ulang Tahun, Peraih Emas Renang AS Kenakan Celana Pink

Ryan pun sempat memberi bocoran tentang wanita yang disukainya.

Ryan Lochte (tengah)

LAS VEGAS, RENANG INDONESIA - Ryan Lochte, perenang asal Amerika Serikat yang meraih medali emas Olimpiade London 2012 lalu, merayakan ulang tahun ke-28 di Las Vegas, Minggu (19/8). Dia merayakan ulang tahunnya dengan memakai celana renang ketat warna merah muda. Wow!

Adapun Ryan berulang tahun pada 3 Agustus lalu, namun melanjutkan perayaan dengan membuat pesta di Palazzo, Las vegas, dengan sesama perenang Olimpiade AS, Cullen Jones dan Conow Dwyer.

Setelah berpose dengan mengenakan celana pendek hitam-putih berbendera AS, Ryan langsung membuka dan memamerkan celana renang pink ketatnya itu.

Ia pun disuguhi cake bertema Olimpiade. Selain bergabung dengan teman-temannya, ia juga dikelilingi sejumlah wanita seksi yang dibalut bikini warna emas. Selain nongkrong di tepi kolam renang, ia berpesta dengan teman-temannya di Tao and Lavo pada malamnya.

Ryan pun sempat memberi bocoran tentang wanita yang disukainya. "Saya selalu mencari gadis yang sempurna. Sekarang saya lebih tua. Saya sedang mencari seseorang yang benar-benar mapan. Siapapun yang dapat membuatku tersenyum dan membuatku tertawa itulah kunci untuk hati saya," ujarnya pada PEOPLE.

Seperti dilansir Aceshwobiz, Ryan juga sempet berbicara mengenai karirnya di dunia renang yang tengah melejit. Katanya, ia ingin menjajaki dunia akting, tanpa bermaksud mengesampingkan renang.

"Saya seorang atlet, tetapi jika saya mendapatkan kesempatan dan orang-orang datang kepada saya menawarkan untuk berakting atau apa, saya akan lebih senang untuk melakukannya selama itu tidak mengganggu renang saya," jelasnya.

Kabarnya Ryan akan menjadi bintang tamu di salah satu episode 90210. Sebelumnya, ia pernah mengatakan lebih tertarik dengan acara Dancing with the Stars dan The Bachelor, sesuai dengan dirinya yang menyukai kompetisi. (Jaringnews.com )

Renang dari Kuba ke Florida sejauh 166 km

Diana Nyad

RENANG INDONESIA-Seorang perempuan Amerika Serikat berusia 62 tahun berupaya untuk keempat kalinya untuk menjadi orang pertama yang berenang dari Kuba ke Amerika tanpa besi pengaman serangan ikan hiu.

Diana Nyad pernah beberapa kali diserang ubur-ubur dan terperangkap badai namun masih tetap melanjutkan renang sejauh 166 km, kata para anggota tim.

Ia meninggalkan ibukota Kuba, Havana, Sabtu (19/08) dan merencanakan untuk sampai di Florida Selasa (21/08), sehari setelah ia ulang tahun ke-63.

Ia hanya menggunakan alat elektronik sebagai penangkal serangan ikan hiu.

Upaya pertama Nyad untuk berenang ke Florida dilakukan tahun 1978.

Upaya kedua gagal karena sakit bahu dan serangan asma.

Serangan ubur-ubur

Perenang jarak jauh ini terpaksa menghentikan upaya ketiga bulan September lalu setelah diserang ubur-ubur beracun.

Ia harus memajukan upaya keempatnya ini selama 16 jam karena perkiraan cuaca buruk.

Para pendukung Nyad menyatakan dalam 35 jam pertama, ia talah mencapai sepertiga dari jarak ke Florida.

Anggota tim renang Nyad mengatakan kondisi laut Senin (20/08) cukup bagus.

Tim juga menggambarkan hari pertama renang dilakukan tanpa kesulitan, namun pada malam kedua Nyad digigit ubur-ubur di kening, tangan dan lehernya.

Nyad menggunakan baju khusus yang menutupi kepala sampai kaki pada malam hari untuk meminimalkan serangan ubur-ubur itu

Swimming Review - London 2012 Olympic Games

Bintang Muda Berprestasi Kembali Meriahkan Cabang Renang

Ketie Ledecky

London, RENANG INDONESIA.: Michael Phelps memang bakal hilang dari pentas kejuaraan renang dunia pasca-Olimpiase 2012. Namun, cabang renang tak bakal kehilangan bintang. Sebab bersamaan dengan rencana mundur Phelps, ada empat bintang muda yang lahir selama Olimpiade London ini.

Keempat bintang muda itu adalah Katie Ledecky, Missy Franklin, Ye Shiwen, dan Ruta Meilutye. Di usia yang sangat muda, mereka mampu beroleh medali emas dan memecahkan rekor dunia di Olimpiade pertamanya.

Katie Ledecky berhasil meraih emas untuk nomor 800 meter gaya bebas putri. Bahkan, atlet Amerika Serikat berusia 15 tahun itu mencatatkan waktu 8:14:63 detik. Catatan tersebut sekaligus memecahkan rekor dunia.

Rekan senegara Ledecky, Missy Franklin juga menunjukan talenta yang menakjubkan. Perenang berusia 17 tahun itu bahkan mampu meraih empat medali emas. Keempat medali itu diraih dari nomor 200 meter gaya punggung, nomor 100 meter gaya punggung, empat kali 200 meter gaya bebas estafet, dan empat kali 100 meter gaya bebas estafet putri. Kesemua emas itu bahkan diperolehnya dalam waktu kurang dari 24 jam.

Talenta muda berbakat juga dimiliki China. Ye Shiwem berhasil memberi kejutan di Olimpiade London. Remaja 16 tahun itu meraih medali emas di nomor 400 meter gaya ganti putri, sekaligus membuat rekor dunia baru. Ia menorehkan waktu 4:28:43 detik. Catatan itu mempertajam rekor lama yang dipegang Stephanie Rice.

Perenang muda berbakat lain hadir dari Lithuania. Ruta Meilutyte tampil mengejutkan dalam usia 15 tahun  dengan menyabet medali emas di nomor 100 meter gaya dada putri. Meilutyte bahkan sempat memecahkan rekor eropa saat bertanding di semi-final dengan catatan waktu 1:5:21 detik.

Kehadiran mereka akan memberi warna baru dalam perhelatan Olimpiade. Bukan tak mungkin, rekor milik Phelps bakal pecah di tangan mereka.(metrotv)

Mellouli triumphs in 10km Marathon

Oussama Mellouli

Tunisia's Oussama Mellouli won the men's 10km Marathon gold in the open water of the Serpentine today.

RENANG INDONESIA (10/8). Mellouli, who took bronze in the 1500m Freestyle in the pool last week, was followed home by the German Thomas Lurz who took silver.

The bronze medallist was Richard Weinberger of Canada.

When he won gold in the 1500m Freestyle in Beijing, Mellouli became the first African male to win an individual Olympic Swimming title and victory today saw him become the first swimmer to win an Olympic medal in the pool and open water at the same Games.

Although open water was only introduced four years ago, Mellouli, who beat his chest on finishing, has now set a precedent.

Mellouli said: 'I can't explain it, I can't really describe it.

'I don't think this has ever been done before. This is probably one of the toughest things to do.

'I'm a pretty solid guy and I never react but you saw that reaction, that says it all.'

Kemenangan itu membuat Mellouli menjadi perenang pertama yang meraih medali emas Oimpiade di kolam renang dan open water.(metrotv)

Round-up: Phelps signs off in style

Michael Phelps

RENANG INDONESIA - Last night saw the exit of arguably the greatest Olympian in history as Michael Phelps bowed out of the sport having collected 18 gold medals and 22 overall.

The 27-year-old started his Olympic Swimming career as a 15-year-old in Sydney in 2000, where the youngster was fifth in the 200m Butterfly.

Six gold and two bronze medals followed in Athens four years later before his historic eight gold medals in Beijing in 2008.

His Games in London did not start off so well with fourth place in the 400m Individual Medley - his worst result since Sydney - and he was shocked into second by Chad le Clos in the 200m Butterfly.

However, the Baltimore swimmer won the 100m Butterfly and 200m Individual Medley - where he outgunned team-mate Ryan Lochte - as well as taking the titles in the 4 x 200m Freestyle and Medley Relay and silver in the 4 x 100m Freestyle.

Texts and phone calls came from the likes of USA president Barack Obama and last night he was presented with a FINA lifetime achievement award by president Julio Maglione inscribed with the words: 'To Michael Phelps, the greatest Olympic athlete of all time. From FINA. August 4 2012. London, Great Britain.'

At a packed press conference afterwards, Phelps revealed what he had said to Bob Bowman, who had coached him since the age of 11, when he completed his final warm-up.

Phelps told Bowman: 'I have looked up to Michael Jordan all my life. He became the best Basketball player there ever was. I've been able to become the best swimmer of all time, we got here together. Thank you.'

Phelps now intends to travel and remain heavily involved with his Swimming foundation.

Of how he was feeling after his final swim, Phelps said: 'It's hard to put into words right now. I did everything I wanted to and finished my career how I wanted to.

'I've always said that I don't care what anybody else says, if I can say that about my career that's all that matters.'

While Phelps's retirement commanded the spotlight, the rest of his USA team-mates enjoyed great success, heading the medal table with 30 medals: 16 golds, eight silver and six bronze, as well as setting five of the nine world records.

Phelps claimed six medals, of which four were gold, while his Baltimore team-mateAllison Schmitt also visited the podium six times, topping it on three occasions.

Missy Franklin, 17, won five medals - four of them gold - while Ryan Lochte will also take home five, including two titles.

Katie Ledecky made an astonishing senior debut, winning the 800m Freestyle with the second fastest swim in history at the age of just 15.

Fellow 15-year-old Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania also topped the podium, shocking herself with her 100m Breaststroke victory.

Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen won the 400m Individual Medley gold in world-record time, and returned to win the shorter medley.

Fellow Chinese Sun Yang also set a world record, lowering his own mark in the 1500m Freestyle as he continues to steer the event into uncharted territory. It was his second title, and fourth medal, of the week.

The French enjoyed success: Yannick Agnel anchoring the sprint relay to victory in the final metres over the USA before taking the 200m Freestyle title. Camille Muffatbecame only the second Frenchwoman to claim an Olympic Swimming title when she won the 400m Freestyle, then finishing second over four lengths.

Ranomi Kromowidjojo won the sprint Freestyle double for the Netherlands but the Germans left without having visited the rostrum.

There were surprises. James Magnussen - 'the Missile' - did not claim the 100m Freestyle as had been widely predicted for much of the year, defending championBritta Steffen did not make the final of the women's equivalent while Sarah Sjostrom, the Swedish teenager tipped for stardom, must wait for such success.

Most of all, though, the week was about Phelps, the like of whom we are unlikely to see again.
