Women's 400 Freestyle Relay

Australia are defending Olympic Champions in this event, but at the European Championships this spring the Netherlands broke Germany's WR. Inge Dekker and Marleen Veldhuis lead the Dutch into the finals tonight. With names like Libby Trickett, Alice Mills and Cate Campbell, even without a WR the Aussies could be the team to beat.

Natalie Coughlin and Dara Torres will try to use their experience to lead the Americans. There are many options that the Americans can use to fill out the team for finals, including Lacey Nymeyer, Kara Lynn Joyce, Katie Hoff, Julia Smit or Alison Schmidtt.

The French, British and Swedes would all like to compete for a medal too, but with the four strong relay teams from Australia, America, Germany and the Netherlands I don't see either getting on the podium.
