7 A.M. — Ziegler Falls Short in First Event

Washington Post on Ziegler's 400 free: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/10/AR2008081001053.html

She has an excuse to be nervous. She's only 20, an ungodly amount of miles away from her home and the United States (a convenient 12 hours to be exact) and swimming in the Olympics. But she also wasn't anywhere near a factor as Hoff got edged at the last second by an English swimmer that everyone will forget.

The Great Falls, Va.-native has some time to relax before the 800 free (her signature event). But if her first race was any indication, she's going to have to erase the nerves and get more focused. This side of the pond is rooting for her.
