While FINA has refused to recognize Libby Lenton’s record-breaking swim at the “Duel in the Pool” last month, Fujitsu – who sponsored the event – are willing to pay the Aus $20,ooo it offered up-front for world-best times.
Speaking with the Daily Telegraph, Fujitsu’s Marketing Manager, Miton Kaloudis, says:
 “We are happy to give the money … irrespective of what FINA says. The dollars are there for the taking but we don’t have that control.
“There was some suspicion at the time that the world record would not be recognized because it was in a mixed event. As far as we are concerned she fair dinkum broke that world record and we thought she would be recognized for that.”
