Laure Manaudou, owns the women's 400

Last May Janet Evans' world record of 4:03.85 fell during the final of the French championship in Tours when 20-year-old, Laure Manaudou, broke the 18-year-old world record with the time of 4:03.03.

On Sunday, at the European Championships, Laure won her event easily clocking 4:07.49 in the 400m freestyle. What astonished me the most was this quote: "It was very hard over the second 200, I think it is my lack of race practice that made me finish badly," she said.

Laure, a gold and a 4:07.49 is not a bad finish. Details here at Eurospot.
