Cesar Cielo goes beyond to Pieter van den Hoogenband? (Video)
Cesar Cielo
Both men showed last year that they could cope very well with the fast suits and have worked together for 3 world records to their credit. Roland Schoeman has the world record with 20.30 in the 50m freestyle kortbad and Cesar Cielo on the 50m track record in both the 50m and the 100m freestyle in his possession. In the 50m freestyle he put on 18 December 2009 and a time of 20.91 set at the world championships in Rome in July 2009 he brought the world the 100vrij to 46.91.
Obviously super fast times, but what can these gentlemen now the fast suits have disappeared?
Cielo recently there had been something to see by in the 50m freestyle in 21.55 in Paris under the "textile world record dive of Alexander Popov (21.64), but at the PanPacs he wants a bit harder. Probably he will be taking his goal since last week have put it on the 21.36, because that was the time that Frederick Bousquet in the European Championships on the clock managed to set the fastest time in textiles of all time.
Would he perform well in the 100m, he will be faster than Pieter van den Hoogenband at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. In the semifinals he was the first man under 48 seconds to dive with 47.84. Together with Stefan Nystrand in 2007 to 47.91 managed to get that the only 2 swimmers in textile under the 48 knew how to swim. Cielo is the 3rd?
If he wants to be, the next night in the finals still have a lot harder, because in the series at the PanPacs he does not go beyond 49.13, only good for the 10th time. Saved by the rule that only 2 swimmers from one country to the A-final may, he will in the A-final allowed to start, so everything is still open ....
Fastest in the series, Nathan Adrian and Jason ležák. 48.41 and 48.47 respectively would put it down, closely followed by Brent Hayden 48.50. Also Eamon Sullivan, who shortly after the introduction of the LZR the successor of Peter seemed to be, is in the final. The Australian state plagued by injuries as 5th placed with 48.92, just behind his compatriot Kyle Richardson (48.69). Two South Africans Graeme Moore and Lyndon Ferns 48.99 and 49.09 with the field completely.
For the die-hards: tonight at 03.00uur Dutch time is the final and that is live on Swimnetwork.com .
