Records keep falling at Qwest Center

World records are under assault at the Qwest Center as the U.S. Olympic Swim Trials continues through the end of this week.

Natalie Coughlin and Aaron Peirsol both broke world records in their respective finals events of the 100-meter backstroke. Coughlin broke the record twice, breaking it in the prelims earlier in the day.

A lot of the credit goes to the athletes who continue to put maximum effort into their events, but some of the credit is also going to new swimsuits that seem to allow swimmers to move quicker through the water.

The Speedo LZR Racer suits are "a phenomenal leap forward in technology," according to Team USA coacah Mark Schubert, who told the Omaha World-Herald that he expected a number of records to be broke in the pool at Qwest Center during these trials.

The suits are sleeker full-body suits that have created some controversy in swimming circles. The fabric is more water-repellent and slicker, likened to shark skin. The pieces of the suit are welded together, rather than sewn, which eliminates seams that tend to cause drag in the water. It compresses the body to reduce vibration and holds the body in a more streamlined manner.

There are a number of suit designers who are not happy with the new suits, including Tyr, who has filed a lawsuit against Speedo claiming Speedo is stifling competition by suggesting that anyone not wearing one of their suits could wind up not swimming fast enough to qualify for the Olympics.

For now, though, the suits seem to be helping out already-outstanding athletes like Michael Phelps and Katie Hoff, and you can see them and many other top swimmers through the end of the week at the Qwest Center.

A limited number of tickets are left for the trials, so don't miss out -- get your U.S. Olympic Swim Trials tickets now at Ticket Express -- where no event is ever sold out.

World records falling at Qwest Center

It didn't take long for swimmers competing in the U.S. Olympic Swim Trials to make their mark on the record book.

Both Michael Phelps and Katie Hoff won their respective 400-meter individual medley events Sunday night, and both did it in world-record times. Phelps won the event with a time of 4:05.25, beating Ryan Lochte, who also broke the world record but finished about a second behind Phelps at 4:06.08.

Not to be outdone, Hoff also set the new world standard in the finals of her event, finishing in 4:31.12. She finished almost two seconds ahead of Elizabeth Beisel.

In Monday morning's session, a world record was broken twice in consecutive heats. Hayley McGregory set a new standard in the 100-meter backstroke with a time of 59.15 seconds, breaking the mark of 59.21 seconds set by Natalie Coughlin. Not to be outdone, Coughlin stepped up in the very next heat and lowered the world record even further, touching the wall in 59.03 seconds.

And that's just the first three sessions -- there are still 12 more sessions of the U.S. Olympic Swim Trials taking place at the Qwest Center, and you can see all the action with tickets from Ticket Express -- where no event is ever sold out.

Olympic swimmers hit the pool at Qwest Center

A lot of work has gone into preparing the Qwest Center for the U.S. Olympic Swim Trials, which begin on Sunday, June 29 and continue through July 6.

Most impressive in the preparations has been the installation of two 800,000-gallon swimming pools in the arena and convention center. Each pool was specifically built for this event and shipped to Nebraska from Italy. It took about a week to put each pool together -- the warm-up pool was constructed in the convention center in early May, with the competition pool put together in the main arena later that month.

Once completed, the Omaha Fire Department helped pump water into each pool, taking about 10 hours to fill each pool to its 800,000-gallon capacity. Heaters were used to warm each pool to approximately 80 degrees, making them ready for competition in early June for the Mutual of Omaha Swimvitational, the final tune-up for athletes before the Olympic trials.

Some of the world's top swimmers will compete in Omaha for a shot at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Among the top competitors expected to participate are former Olympic medalists Dara Torres, Natalie Coughlin, Amanda Beard, Amanda Weir, Gabe Woodward, Peter Vanderkaay, Neil Walker and seven-time gold medalist Michael Phelps.

It's a unique opportunity for sports fans in the Midwest to witness Olympic-caliber competition, and Ticket Express has a limited number of tickets available for this event.

They continued on with albums like "Crash" and "Before These Crowded Streets" and built quite a following for not only their quality studio work, but their entertaining and energetic concert performances.

Def Leppard set to rock Qwest Center

One of the top rock bands of the 1980's will invade Omaha on Aug. 17 when Def Leppard comes to rock the Qwest Center.

The five-man band from Sheffield, England rose to prominence during the advent of "hair metal" with their 1983 classic album, "Pyromania." Songs like "Rock of Ages" and "Photograph" got tons of play on the radio and MTV, making them instant superstars.

Even the tragic car crash that caused drummer Rick Allen to lose his arm could not stop this band's rise to the top of the rock hierarchy. Their 1987 release, "Hysteria" became one of the biggest-selling albums of the decade and spawned no fewer than seven top 40 hits, an incredible number for any album. "Pour Some Sugar On Me," "Love Bites" and "Armageddon It" were among the super hits coming from that album.

The band faced tragedy again when guitarist Steve Clark died of a drug overdose in the early 1990's but the band carried on and continued putting out some great music. They still tour and record 20 years later and have recently released a new album, "Songs From The Sparkle Lounge" which includes a rather unusual duet with country superstar Tim McGraw on the song "Nine Lives."

The band is touring with Billy Idol, another big chart-topper from the 1980's who rose to fame with songs like "Rebel Yell," "White Wedding" and the classic remake of "Mony Mony." It should be an awesome show, and you can get tickets to see Def Leppard in concert now at Ticket Express -- where no event is ever sold out.

Olympic Swim Trials to be held at Qwest Center

There will be almost 2 million gallons of water floating around in the Qwest Center for the next six weeks.

That's because the Qwest Center is serving as the host site for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Swim Trials, which run June 29 through July 6. Over 1,000 swimmers from across the country will come to Omaha for a shot at qualifying to represent the United States in the 2008 Summer Olympics later this year in Beijing, China.

Some of the nation's top swimmers will be competing for a shot at Olympic glory, including several former Olympic gold medalists.

Headlining the group of gold-medal swimmers is MIchael Phelps, who had a phenomenal effort at the 2004 Olympics when he won an amazing eight gold medals. He will be back to try and repeat that feat and is already among the fastest swimmers in the U.S. in several events.

Top female swimmers like Dana Vollmer and Dara Torres will be on hand, as will Amanda Beard, Kara Lynn Joyce, Natalie Coughlin and many more. A total of 28 swimmers with Olympic experience will be among those competing.

The Qwest Center has two pools already set up, including a practice pool in the convention center and the competition pool in the main arena. Both pools hold almost 1 million gallons of water and were shipped to Omaha from Italy. It took workers a little over a week to construct each pool and fill them up, and they will be competition-ready by next weekend when the Qwest Center plays host to the final pre-Olympic tune-up, the Mutual of Omaha Swimvitational that starts on June 3.

Def Leppard making their way to Qwest Center

The band that created anthems such as "Photograph" and "Pour Some Sugar On Me" will light up the night in Omaha as Def Leppard plays at the Qwest Center on Sunday, Aug. 17.

The five-man metal band from England rose to prominence in the mid-1980's when their "Pyromania" album became a multiplatinum hit. With songs like "Rock Of Ages" and "Foolin'" topping the charts, they helped fuel the "hair band" era of the mid 1980's.

Even when their drummer, Rick Allen, lost his arm in a car crash in 1984, the band didn't miss a beat. With Allen playing on a newly-configured drum kit, the band followed up their "Pyromania" success with the "Hysteria" album, a record that stayed on the charts for over two years and produced a mountain of hits, including "Love Bites," "Women" and "Armageddon It."

The band continued its success into the 90's, despite the death of guitarist Steve Clark. Laying low during the grunge era, the band has come back and continues to be a favorite for concert-goers looking to remember the glory days of rock.

Opening up for Def Leppard will be fellow British rocker Billy Idol, a musician of considerable reputation in his own right with songs like "Eyes Without A Face," "White Wedding" and "Rebel Yell."

Pools being built for Olympic Swim trials

They have traveled halfway across the world and will soon hold 1 million gallons of water in the Qwest Center.

Two swimming pools built in a factory in Italy made the worldwide trek to Omaha recently, and construction is now underway to build two swimming pools that will be used for the U.S. Olympic Swim Trials, which runs June 29-July 6 at the Qwest Center in Omaha.

The warm-up pool is currently under construction in the convention center. The pool that will be used for competition will be set up inside the main arena next week after Sunday's WWE Judgement Day event.

Once the pools are finished, they will both be filled with about 1 million gallons of water and heated to a comfortable 80 degrees. The pools need to be ready a month before the Olympic trials, as they are going to be used for the Mutual of Omaha Swimvitational, which will be held June 5.

Once the trials are over, the pools will be torn down and moved to the Poseidon Swimming Foundation in Richmond, Va., for use as part of a regional sports complex.
