Measure that pool again

The americans including boy-wonder Phelps did the 400 free relay in a time of 3:08.24, smashing four seconds off the previous world record.
How can that be? Astonishing.

Years ago they had an international marathon here in Nu Zulun - the notorious Choysa marathon of November 13, 1977. Some Australian dude, Dave Chettle, won it in an a time of 2:02:24 which was minutes under the world record. - Suspicion was aroused and the course remeasured - it was a short course.
