“I don't think anyone can touch Victor in the 200," said Barry, who thinks Davis can go as fast as 2: 12.9. "The 100 will be close. If he's ready he can win it." Barry also likes West's chances better in his an backstroke event. Last week, West set a new Canadian and Commonwealth record of 2:01.20, improving on his old mark of 2:01.65. Davis. who improved on his own world re- cord in the zoo-metre breaststroke by bring- ing his time to 2:14.58 from 2:14.77, at the Canadian team quali- tying meet last week, is expected to go even faster in Los Angeles. "We were hoping for the 100 breast and 100 back to be faster," said Barry. "Hopefully at training camp they’ll be faster. The 200's have been excellent." Barry says Davis could swim his 100 event as fast as l:01.8 while West could go as fast as 55.8. Last Wednesday, West swam the 100 back in 56.76. And both swimmers are optimistic about their chances. Davis had been frustrated in his training by sciatica in his shoulder and a bout with mononucleo sis but is happy with the results of his train, ing and says he has fully recovered from mono. West, meanwhile, feels it isn't too late to improve his time in the 100 back. "The 100 was a bit slow at the trials." said West, "but there's six weeks to go and I’m coetfident I'll be far ter."
