Match 5
World All-Stars v Australia
Event Winners:
Men's medley relay, Ian Thorpe 55.64 - a fourth All Time Best for Australia, set up an unbeatable lead for Adam Pine fly, Phil Rogers breast and Todd Pearson. They cruised home to start a seven-zip scoreboard for the Aussies.

Dean Kent chimed in with a win for the World All-Stars in the individual 400m medley. Then it was the Aussies who won the next

Geoff Huegill made a much-publicised attempt on the world record, but it was Michael Klim, complete with torn medial ankle ligaments and chipped bone, who came through with a PB 23.78 and 1000 IPS performance, to win from the world champion and WR holder. Huegill 23.81 finish made for great race in this competition, with two of the best ever sprint butterflyers.

The 100m Free provided a minor drama. World All-Stars had only one starter, Fernando Scherer who completed only 50m of the race, got out and waved to the crowd while the race was still in progress. He was of course disqualified for leaving the pool while the race was still in progress. His unofficial time was not good enough to take even the individual bronze at the Games.

The Aussies had to look to their own team for opposition. They took first and second place in eight of the sixteen individual events leaving five events for the visitors. This World All-Stars team beat the USA men's team in round 2. They would have to be foxing today and saving some energy for tomorrow's clash against the Australians in the Gold Medal Round.

Klim and Huegill provided another spectacular fighting duel in the 100m fly. This time Huegill avenged his defeat in the 50m-sprint event with a strong 52.54 to 52.66 by the world record holder.

The final point score. Australia 101 defeated the World All-Stars 47.

Match 6
United States v. Europe All-Stars
It was a gala afternoon. The female volunteers dancing "The Macarena" on the deck, provided the entertainment most of the time. The match was a dead rubber; both teams, come what may, were destined for the bronze medal play-off. The only changes could be in individuals moving up the medal count due to individual improved performances in this round. That did not happen.

Tom Malchow USA was again in good form with another quality swim in 200m Fly, 1:55.83.

The Winners:

* Team won 1st and 2nd places in event.

United States 103 defeated World All-Stars 46
