Manadour suffers first loss ever in the 400m Free!

This is old news but what hasn't been covered is that Manadou cried on the podium waiting for her silver Bronze medal and later made it clear that she wants a new suit from Arena. The one they are quickly throwing together in response to the Speedo LZR. She rarely gives interviews and I am curious as to whether this loss will motivate her to swim harder come Beijing or will it be a psychological detriment when she faces Kate Ziegler or the same woman that beat her, Camelia Potec of Romania.

I don't know what the European or Australian press are making of this incident but just about every article I read somehow ties the Speedo LZR or Arena's upcoming "solution" to it. [Link]
