Coughlin shatters her World Record in the Speedo LZR Racer
Things are hotting up on the second day of the US trials in Omaha with two more world records being smashed - both in the morning preliminaries, about 2 minutes apart.

Hayley McGregory knocked off Natalie Coughlin's best in the 100m backstroke with a time of 59.15, only to have Coughlin take it right back in the next heat at 59.03. Speaking of her win Coughlin said:

"I was planning on going a lot easier this morning, but yeah, it gave me a little motivation to swim a little faster than I was originally planning."

A total of 41 World Records have been set by athletes wearing the Speedo LZR Racer.
