Another World Swimming Record Tumbles

MONTREAL (Reuters) - Ian Crocker demolished the world record to win the 100 metres butterfly at the world swimming championships on Saturday and ruin Michael Phelps's dream of winning six gold medals.

Crocker stormed through two laps of the Montreal pool in 50.40 seconds to wipe 0.36 off the previous mark which he set at last year's U.S. Olympic trials at Long Beach, California, and retain the world title he won at Barcelona in 2003.

Unbelievable! To clean the WR by .36 is just unheard of. Incredible performance. Hats off Ian. Stunning to say the least.
