the 2004 Olympics in Athens. 2005 On August 2, 2005, the United States captured victories in 18 of the 28 events in front of the sold-out crowd of 2,600 in Irvine, California. The US won 190-102, although the Australians rode a wave of talent on the women's side, outscoring the American women 76-70. 2007 The 2007 Duel in the Pool between the US and Australia took place in Sydney, Australia on April 3, 2007. The United States won their third straight Duel in the Pool, with a score of 181.5 points to Australia's 129.5. During a mixed 4×100 metres freestyle relay, Australian Libby Lenton became the first woman to beat the 53 second mark swimming freestyle over a distance of 100 metres, beating the previous world record by 0.31 seconds with a time of 52.99. At the time, she was racing a relay-leg against American Michael Phelps, who clocked in at 48.72 seconds.
