BEIJING, August 14, 2008 (AFP) - The 2008 Olympic record of US swimmer Katie Hoff, who swam six events at the Beijing Games and won one silver and two bronze medals.

Hoff saw Australian Stephanie Rice win gold and break Hoff's world record with a time of 4:29.45. Silver medallist Kirsty Coventry of Zimbabwe was also under Hoff's previous world mark, which Hoff herself failed to match.

Great Britain's Rebecca Adlington snatched the gold after Hoff had led virtually the entire race - including by 1.5sec at the final turn.

Ranked number one in world this year after swim of 1:55.88 at US trials, Hoff swam an American record of 1:55.78 but couldn't keep pace with world record-setting winner Federica Pellegrini (1:54.82).

World champion Hoff was well off her personal best as she was shut out of the medals in race won by world record-setting Stephanie Rice (2:08.45).

Hoff swam anchor on the US team that ended up third (7:46.33) behind world record-setting Australia (7:44.31) and China (7:45.93).

FAILED TO REACH FINAL

Hoff, who came into the Games with the second-fastest time in the world this year behind Rebecca Adlington (gold, 400m freestyle) of Britain, posted the 11th-fastest time of the heats and failed to book a place in the Olympic final.

(Kristin Otto of East Germany is the only woman to win six swimming golds at one Games, capturing the 50m and 100m freestyle, 100m butterfly, 100m backstroke, 4x100m free and 4x100m medley relay in 1988.)
