My psychic powers help Trickett qualify for 100m freestyle final

August 14, 2008

I do not claim to be a psychic but it is funny how things worked out this morning in the semifinals of the 100m women’s freestyle.

Libby Trickett had put in a swim where she swam 54.10 seconds to touch the wall in fourth place in the first semi. I was thinking that she could miss out on the final with that time.

Next up was the second semifinal. At the start of this I was thinking it must be time for a false start. As it turned out the girl from China swam a fast race and touched the wall first. Luckily for Trickett she had false started and this saw the Australian world record holder sneak into the final as the slowest qualifier.

It was a Pang Jiaying’s misfortune that allowed Trickett to sneak into the final.
