Lane 1 - Daily Mail posts "Mark Spitz tells why this iconic picture of Munich Olympics was taken in London.  The picture, for which a German magazine paid Spitz $50,000, became a poster that sold a million copies, earning Spitz a further $250,000 dollars in royalties."

Lane 2 - Man The Thorpedo!  The Age posts "Thorpe one big step closer to Olympics.  IAN Thorpe's comeback has never been about racing Michael Phelps or James Magnussen. His biggest rival has been and continues to be the clock. Not the stopwatch, but the time he has to return his form to a point somewhere near where it once resided."  The Courier Mail posts "Ian Thorpe coach Gennadi Touretski backs comeback swimmer to make London Olympics.  IAN Thorpe's coach Gennadi Touretski is confident there is still enough time for the five-time Olympian to make the London Games."  The Telegraph has "Ian Thorpe may head to Britain in search of Olympic form after Singapore comeback ends in harsh reality check.  Ian Thorpe may swim a key race in his comeback in a British pool early next year as his coach remains adamant the Australian legend is still on course to recapture his former greatness, despite an underwhelming initial return to competition here."

Lane 3 - The Herald Sun posts "Mystery illness floors Eamon Sullivan.  EAMON Sullivan has quit the Asian leg of the FINA World Cup series as a precautionary measure after suffering a mystery illness.  Sullivan was floored by the bug for six days during the World Cup meet in Moscow two weeks ago.  The former world record holder, prone to illness and injury, competed in the 50m freestyle final last night, finishing sixth. He will leave Singapore for home today."

Lane 5 - The Alligator posts "Florida swims to pair of wins against Michigan and Stanford.  One of the questions facing the Florida women’s swimming team coming into this weekend’s double dual meet with Michigan and Stanford was if fatigue caused by a busy start to the season would affect its performance.  As it turned out, the Gators’ tired legs were just fine in their sweep of the Cardinal and the Wolverines in Ann Arbor, Mich. Florida beat Stanford 194-169 and won against Michigan by a score of 206-159."

Lane 6 - New Zealand Herald posts "Kiwis miss the podium.  New Zealand swimmers finished out of the medals on the second day of the FINA World Cup in Singapore today."

Lane 8 - The Register posts "Court forces bisexual budgie smuggling blogger to go down.  Downunder Speedo is a sacred domain.  Bisexual blogger, Dave Evans, has been ordered by an Australian Federal Court to shut down his websites because they featured swimwear manufacturer Speedo’s swimming costumes and domain names using the company's trademark.  His main blog was called Aussiespeedoguy and has now been changed to Aussiegayguy, he also has four other blog sites featuring many boys in and out of swimwear.  he action by Speedo is perhaps one of the most foolish pieces of marketing self-sabotage witnessed since the Qantas shut down."
