Well done Thorpey. I haven't seen the race yet, but judging by the splits, Van Den Hoogenband certainly wasn't far enough ahead coming to the last 50. Looks like Ian swam a great race and had things pretty much under control the whole way.

Another minor medal to Liesel Jones. Unfortunately that's becoming a regular thing. She just doesn't seem to be able to swim her best when it comes to finals.
