HARDWARE
Results of the women's 100-meter breaststroke final, 2005 FINA World Championships, Montréal, yesterday...
1 Leisel Jones, Australia, 1:06.25
2 Jessica Hardy, United States, 1:06.62
3 Tara Kirk, United States, 1:07.43
4 Luo Xuejuan, China, 1:07.60
5 Brooke Hanson, Australia, 1:08.07
6 Suzaan Van Biljon, South Africa, 1:08.38
7 Sarah Poewe, Germany, 1:08.47
8 Chiara Boggiatto, Italy, 1:08.98
For the record, Jones took bronze in the Athens final last summer, Luo took gold, and Hansen took silver. Poewe was fifth, and Tara was sixth. So, this means that yesterday Tara beat two swimmers that were on the medal podium in Athens.
Of course, that means there's hardware to be handed out.
Yes, Tara Kirk, representing Bremerton far above and beyond the capabilities of some sports blog.
Of course, there's no rest for Tara, who goes tomorrow in the 200-meter breaststroke event.
Congrats to Tara, and further good luck.
