2010 Short Course World Championships - Dubai

Another big meet planned for 2010 is the Short Course World Championships, which will take place in Dubai on December 15 - 19, 2010.

Ryan performed really well in the 2006 and 2008 short course world championships and I hope he will attempt to qualify this year too. Here are his past results:

2006 Short Course World Championships - Shanghai

200m back - gold
200m IM - gold
400m IM - gold
4 x 100m free relay - silver
4 x 100m medley relay - bronze
4 x 200m free relay - bronze

Ryan set a world record in the 100m back in the first leg of the medley relay with a time of 49.99. Watch it here:

2008 Short Course World Championships - Manchester

200m back - silver
100m IM - gold
200m IM - gold
400m IM - gold
4 x 100m free relay - gold
4 x 100m medley relay - silver

I'm always hoping Ryan will have a chance to race against Laszlo Cseh, but he didn't compete in the 2006 or 2008 SC World Championships. Maybe he will make an exception this year.
