Goodwill Games: Euro Women Stomp World All-Stars, 107-42

BRISBANE, Aug. 30. THE European women's team had no mercy on the World All-Star squad, winning 15 of the 17 events contested and stomping the global gang, 107-42.

Martina Moravcova had the best swim of the meet, clocking 58.30 in the 100 fly. She also split 58.01 on the winning medley relay.

Double Olympic champion Yana Klochkova won three individual events, taking both medleys (2:14.96 and 4:41.66) and the 200 back (2:16.34).

Three other European were double winners: Antje Buschschulte took the 50 and 100 back in 29.52 and 1:02.25; Elena Popchenko won the 50 (25.63) and 100 free (56.19); and Beatrice Coada-Caslaru took the 100 and 200 breast in 1:10.84 and 2:28.61. Actually, Caslaru was beaten to the wall by the World Team's Ruan Yi in the 100 (1:10.73), but Ruan was disqualified.

Japan's Maki Mita and China's Tang Jingwen were the only World Team swimmers to win today. Mita took the 200 free in 2:00.90 while Tang won the 400 in 4:12.91.
