By Hideki Mochizuki<\/p>\n

TOKYO, Japan, April 21. THE headliner of the second day of the Japanese National Championships was Tomomi Morita, who smashed the Japanese 100 backstroke record on two occasions Friday, once in the preliminaries and again in the final. Morita followed his 54.12 with a 53.85 effort. Morita was the bronze medalist in this event at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.<\/p>\n

Fourth in the event at last year\u2019s World Championships in Montreal, Morita turned in third place at the 50-meter mark but boosted his speed right after the turn. The former Japanese record was his own with a 54.20 posted at last year\u2019s National Sports Festival. \u201cMy goal is much higher but (this swim is) pretty satisfactory,\u201d Morita said. It was his fifth straight win in the event at Nationals.<\/p>\n

Morita is currently coached by Yoji Suzuki, who is now the head coach of the Japan National Swim Team and was the coach for Daichi Suzuki, who obtained the gold medal in the men\u2019s 100 backstroke at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. <\/p>\n

Coach Suzuki also led Hanae Itou to a win tonight in the women\u2019s 100 backstroke with a time of 1:00.65. The swim just missed Mai Nakamura\u2019s Japanese record of 1:00.55 by a tenth of a second. Itou won the event for the second consecutive year. The silver medalist was Reiko Nakamura with a 1:00.88. Both qualified with Standard I times, and thus were selected for both the Pan Pac and World Championships.<\/p>\n

In the men\u2019s 200m butterfly, Takashi Yamamoto made a comeback to the pool after retirement following Athens. He swam very well with a 1:57.02 to touch the pad in a second-place tie with Takeshi Matsuda. However, they could not beat Ryuichi Shibata who posted an effort of 1:55.27. Shibata\u2019s personal best is 1:55.11 from last year\u2019s Japanese collegiate championships. Shibata grabbed a spot for both the Pan Pac and World Championships. It will be likely that Yamamoto, Matsuda and Shibata will represent Japan at Pan Pacs in this event. Yamamoto and Matsuda will compete for another spot for the World Championships. The 200 fly for the women went to Yurie Yano in 2:08.34.<\/p>\n

Hidemasa Sano, the sixth-place place finisher in the men\u2019s 400 individual medley at the Montreal World Championships showed stable speed to win that event with a 4:16.78. In the 200 freestyle races, Maki Mita was victorious among the women in 2:00.13 while Yuuji Sakurai was the male winner with a time of 1:49.84.<\/p>\n

One Japanese national high school record was recorded in the men\u2019s 1500 freestyle by Kenichi Doki with time of 15:17.03.<\/p>\n
