Britta Steffan WAS at the Water Cube this weekend and she did quite well. From Xinhua: "... Steffen, the world record holder in the women's 200-meter butterfly, clocked 24.93 seconds, [in the 50 free] edging her Brazilian rival Flavia Cazziola in 25.44 and her teammate Daniela Goetz in 25.51. Steffen said she was satisfied with her performance, adding that she was considering to compete in the 50-meter race in the Olympics. ..." [Link]
She also swam in and won the 100m fly but she didn't set a world record; she swam a 54.73

Tony, the article you relied upon and linked to has made a couple huge errors. Britta Steffen is the world record holder in the 100 free, not the 200 fly. A 54.73 in the 100 fly would have absolutely shattered the existing world mark - it currently stands at 56.61.
