Extractions: Brazilian stuns Popov Under the unusual goodwill games swimming format, the pair did not race against each other. In the first meet yestereday, Scherer Equalled the fourth fastest 50 m ever, clocking 22.18 as the world team routed Germany, 85-37, to clinch the team gold medal. Popov, double gold medalist in the 50m and 100m freestyles in both the 1992 and 1996 Olympics, could do no better than 22.27 sec in helping Russia to a 63-59 victory over the USA. "The races were really competitive and it was mentally tough to swim," said Popov, who gained some consolation when he swam the second leg on the winning 400 m freestyle relay team that earned Russia the points it needed to defeat the USA. Scherer, 24, who lives and trains in Florida, has his sights firmly set on the 2000 Olympics, where he aims to win his two specialities. At the 1996 Atlanta Games, he won the bronze in the 50 m freestyle and was fifth in the 100 m. Denis Sylantiyev of Ukraine also put on a world-class performance for the world team, winning the 100m and 200m butterflies against Germany and capturing the gold medal in both events.

Extractions: Swimming sensation Pieter van den Hoogenband has completed a freestyle sprint double, and denied Alexander Popov a unique Olympic hat-trick. The Dutchman's comprehensive victory in the 100m freestyle final followed his success in the 200m earlier in the week. It also destroyed second-placed Popov's dreams of becoming the first man to win the title three consecutive times. Van den Hoogenband, who set a new world record in the semi-final, touched the wall almost four-tenths of a second ahead of a thrilling battle for the silver. Popov triumphed in that fight, just four-hundredths quicker than Gary Hall Jr of the US.

Extractions: ATHENS, Greece - Athens marked the end of the Olympic trail for Alexander Popov and a bunch of other swimming champions. Popov, outstanding among sprint freestylers, swam his last race in Saturday's medley relay and departed without a medal at the end of a career studded with gold. The 32-year-old Russian won unique back-to-back freestyle doubles in the 50- and 100-meter freestyle at the 1992 and 1996 Games, and fanned hopes of more Olympic glory when he regained his world titles in both events at the 2003 world championships. But there was to be no last hurrah in the Athens pool. Popov was eliminated in the semifinals of the 100 free and did not make it past the heats of the 50 free, although his world record remained intact. Popov anchored 4x100 freestyle and medley relays, but Russia finished fourth in both to close a magnificent career which, in major international terms, began and ended in Athens.

Extractions: July 14, 1996 Olympics Guide Swimming By CHRISTOPHER CLAREY e had already talked for much of the morning about Platonic doctrine, military strategy and prima ballerinas. Now, Gennady Touretsky, a swim coach unlike most others, wanted to talk about dolphins. "Why can the dolphin swim at 80 kilometers per hour?" Touretsky asked as he sat poolside at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra. "To do that it should have the power of a small jet, but it has no power. So why? We don't understand it all, but we do see that their skill is a natural skill, and they use elasticity to generate speed. They do not create resistance. And so my way is not to create much resistance." It was a telling moment: Touretsky, the voluble Russian coach who helped transform Alexander Popov into the world's fastest swimmer, marveling at the dolphin while other men are busy marveling at Popov. "Phenomenal," said the Australian Kieren Perkins, the world's top distance freestyler. "Ahead of his time," added Barry Prime, the British swim coach who, like Touretsky, now works at the well-funded and well-landscaped Australian Institute of Sport.
