AUSTRALIAN swimming great Ian Thorpe flopped again in his comeback bid, failing to reach the final of the 100 meters freestyle at a World Cup meet in Tokyo yesterday.
Winner of five Olympic gold medals, Thorpe clocked 49.45 seconds to finish 12th in the heats and miss out on the final. It was Thorpe's second successive setback in an event he once dominated, having failed to reach the final in Beijing last week. Thorpe, who hopes to qualify for next year's London Olympics, has withdrawn from the heats for the 100 meters individual medley.
