Natalie Coughlin looks confident in black whereas Katie Hoff looks as if she prefers something a little less formal.

Natalie sets a U.S. Open record in the 200 free with a time of 1.58.00. Natalie broke the old record of 1:58.02 shared by Katie Hoff and Claudia Poll. Coughlin asserted her dominance by finishing just ahead of Katie, pulling away in the final 50 meters to win by an arm length.

The five-time Olympic medalist also stormed the 50 free in a time of 25.22. (The world record is a 24.13. The winning time at the 2006 Athens Olympics was a 24.98. Ipso facto, Natalie is definitely a contender.) Read the details here: [Link].
