No they didn't, they were brilliant no more than 4-5 days ago. 4 swimmers suddenly couldn't go and got slower as the week went on. We have been outstanding at peaking swimmers for years, whether it's been Olympics, World Champs or Commonwealth Games. Our swim coaches are the best anywhere. As an elite coach and qualified Exercise Physiologist 4 swimmers won't drop like that so quickly in a few days. If it was one then, well, crap happens, when it's 4, something's amiss. You don't drop from 47.00, 52.15, and 51.97, on the changeover fly admittedly, to over 48 and in the 53's. Too much of a drop to be normal for so many in just a few days. Don't think that's hard to work out. Be interested when it comes out eventually, if it does.
