Ian Thorpe, the Australian on the comeback trail, clocked 52.28 to finish fourth in the 100m free at the Hi-Point Meeting in Zurich this morning.
He also clocked 3:59.48 in the 400m freestyle this evening. A meet record, the effort was the 49th best time of Thorpe's experience, just outside the 3:49.43 he clocked as a 14-year-old at NSW state titles back in 1997 a year before becoming the youngest world champion among men in swimming history. In Zurich the 2000 and 2004 Olympic champion was pressed by Mitrovic Jovan, second in 4:00.44.
Thorpe will soon begin his taper before racing at trials in a true test of his progress on the comeback trail so far but the 400m is not part of his plans.
In the 100m, Thorpe's comeback best is a 50.76, while the Zurich race was won by Russian Andrey Grechin in 50.06. Thorpe's latest swim prompted the word "flop" to appear in newspaper and online headlines Down Under. The Australian will race 400m later today, while his coach Gennadi Touretski noted to media banned from speaking to Thorpe that the swimmer had just finished training camps at which he had focussed on fitness and race readiness
