Though website of Beijing Olympic is not as navigable as was in Athens but still Indian swimmers (4 this time - largest ever contingent i guess) raised hopes for future. First of all this time all of them had qualified as against to wild card entries in past. So they got better heats to compete .Though none could qualify for further rounds but at least they can now hope for podium finish in Asian games and even win some medals as their ranking among their Asian counterparts were invariably among top 8 in Asia.
Here is the short list which I compiled
event - swimmer - overall - among asians
200 m freestyle - virdhawal - 48 - 7th
50 m freestyle - virdhawal - 40 - 2nd
100 m freestyle - virdhawal - 42 - 3rd
100 m breaststroke - sejwal - 38 - 5
200 m breaststroke - sejwal - 36 - 5
100 m butterfly - ankur - 6 - 57
200 m butterfly - rehan - 40- 9
