Australian swimming ultra-superstar Ian Thorpe is planning a comeback for the 2012 London Olympics. Having wisely (and somewhat accidentally) missed the supersuit period, it will be interesting to see if Thorpedo can get back even close to his astonishing form at the top of his game, though so far he says he just wants to get on the freestyle relays.
Even Biedermann, wearing a supersuit, only broke Thorpe's 400 meter freestyle record by one-hundredth of a second; and that record is now asterisked or however they're denoting/demoting it. So Thorpe's five fastest 400 meter swims are pretty incredible. What really amazed me is that after the stunning hide-from-the-field 400 at the Sydney Olympics (3:40.58), he actually went faster twice after that.
