Avstralska Stephanie Rice vann trý gullheiðursmerki í Beijing í august, og setti tá m.a. langbanaheimsmet í 200 og 400 metur blandað. Men nú hevur hon hildið pausu í 9 vikur, skal tí til at veruliga arbeiða hesar næstu tveir mánaðirnar, um hon skal klára at kvalifisera seg til HM í Rom. Sum venjarin Michael Bohl sigur tað:
She’s had the longest break she’s ever had. There was nine weeks where she wasn’t doing too much at all. So she went from being a very fit person to being pretty unfit and she struggled, not motivation-wise, but getting back into a routine.
