		Michael Klim is not the swimmer he used to be, but life has put him on an exciting path to Melbourne’s Commonwealth Games.
		Klim met Rama, who has spent most of her life in Australia and whose mother lives in Hobart, about 15 months ago and he credits the relationship with helping him realise that swimming is not everything.
		Klim's coach Ian Pope says his pupil has relaxed over the three years he has been with the Melbourne-based squad and a large part of that has been due to his family life and business interests, where he does a lot of corporate speaking and has opened several swimming clubs in Victoria and NSW.

		And next to Klim, the sleeper star of the Games thus far -- a man no one was talking about until, in one incredible swim, he upstaged Ian Thorpe in the latter's own home pool, beating the Aussie star to second place in the 200m freestyle.
		Klim was fastest off the blocks, and in the lead, by a very narrow margin, at the 50m turn -- but Popov and Hoogenband were both easing into the race in their own respective styles.

	~~ Phelps vs Hackett ~~
		Jason Lezak and Michael Klim are the best the two countries have to offer in the 100m free, with each athlete holding his country’s national record in that event.
		Klim will still be a force in the race, however, as he posted a 49.02 at the Australian World Trials in March and his condition will undoubtedly improve through August.
		Klim will take advantage of his dolphin kick off the start and turn as much as possible, whereas Lezak is usually the first swimmer to breakout and start swimming in a race.
