Soni bests Jones

Oh yes, there are other Olympic swimming stories, boys and girls.  In case you missed it. 

Rebecca Soni, silver medalist in the 100M breaststroke, set a world record in the 200M breaststroke, beat reigning champ, Leisel Jones, from the Land of Oz.  

This is a great story folks.  She finished a full-body length ahead of Jones, breaking the two and a half year old record held by Jones.
