* Aaron Peirsol Downs 100 Back World Record

“... FOR two rounds, Aaron Peirsol toyed with his competition. He did what was necessary to get through the prelims, then picked up the pace a bit in the semifinal round. In the final of the 100 backstroke, the world-record holder and defending Olympic champion took the hammer to his competition.

Touching in second place at the 50-meter mark, just behind Randall Bal, Peirsol turned to his trademark finish and overtook the field down the stretch to touch in 52.89, under his previous global standard of 52.98. Simply, it was Peirsol doing what he does best, answering the challenge in a pressure-packed moment. Only the best know how to do it.

“That was the best race I’ve ever been in,” Peirsol said. “Better than the Olympics. This is what I prepared for. I saved some good stuff for tonight. I’m glad I got my head on straight.” ...”
