Natalie breaks 100m backstroke WR again

by calgbear on Jul 1, 2008 7:45 PM PDT

Coughlin became the first woman to break 59 seconds, just one day after she reclaimed the world record in the preliminaries. She touched in 58.97, locking up the first of perhaps as many as six races she could swim in Beijing.

Also, from the calbears.com article:

former Bear Jessica Hardy ... earned an automatic spot on the Olympic Team after finishing in first place of the 100-meter breaststroke finals with a time of 1:06.87.

ho hum, just another day at the office

natalie is like the cal rugby team…so amazing that i simply stop being amazed anymore.

i’ve got a framed copy of the Daily Cal from the Monday after Cal won the Big Game in 2002. Huge spread on the back page on Cal, Boller, the Axe, etc. etc. Down in the corner, under a small headline titled ‘Sports in Brief’, the subheadline reads, ‘Coughlin Smashes Three World Records’. Ho hum, no big deal. That’s Natalie Coughlin.

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

And yet you remained fascinated with Ben Braun’s esoteric zone defenses and Jerome Randle’s lack of point guard skills.

Quite the masochist you are.

Those things are like a car accident, you know it’s bad, but you can’t stop watching.

I kissed Dumpster Muffin and I liked it. The taste of her hippie chapped lips.

Fine, then don’t respond to anything here for the next 24 hours. And if you can stomach that act of will, then try sitting through an explanation by Ayr or Zachary Runningwolf on why the trees shouldn’t be cut down. Only then can you challenge Dumpster Muffin in a King of the Hill match for the God Pod.

I, for one, can’t wait for something genuine to start, like, yknow football or the Olympics. But man am I happy that at least we have this to keep us occupied while we wait!

Are you saying that inane comments on a sports blog are not genuine? For shame

Ding Dong, Twist is dead.

Now I just need to focus on a couple more people and I’ll have supremacy of these comments. Soon, Dumpster Muffin shall rule as Queen and I, her king. Everything’s coming up Milhouse.

No, you just got kissed by a rose, the two are easily confusable.

Are you saying that Coughlin wasn’t at the Big Game?
