THE third night of swimming took place at the Japan International Swim Meet as many of the world&#39;s top swimmers took the chance to send a message across the globe before shutting it down and focusing on the 2008 Beijing Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>The two-per country A final rule is in effect at this meet. So, <b>SwimmingWorldMagazine.com<\/b> has decided to give full coverage to both the A and B final results. Those swimmers not making the cut for A finals are still posting some big times in the B heats. <\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 100 butterfly<\/b><br \/>\nAustralia&#39;s Libby Lenton clocked a winning-time of 57.88 as the only swimmer to surpass the 58-second threshold.  She had to use some back-half speed, though, as the United States&#39; Rachel Komisarz took it out in 27.25 compared to Lenton&#39;s 27.49 before settling for second in 58.11.  <\/p>\n<p>Both times were off each swimmer&#39;s season-best times as Lenton touched in 57.15 to win the world title, while Komisarz turned in a 57.96 in February.<\/p>\n<p>200 fly world record holder Jessicah Schipper of Australia picked up third-place honors in 58.36, also off her second-place effort at Worlds of 57.24.<\/p>\n<p>Christine Magnuson of the United States posted a personal-best readout of 58.56 for fourth place to surpass her previous best time of 58.76 set earlier this month at U.S. Nationals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/65.110.72.225\/SPIPDF\/20070821japanw100flyf.pdf target=_blank>Click Here to view A finals results PDF file<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa&#39;s Keri-Leigh Shaw earned the touch-out B final victory with a readout of 59.17 by building a nearly .30 second lead after 50 meters with a 27.55 split and never looking back.<\/p>\n<p>Japan&#39;s Ayako Doi wound up second in the heat with a 59.47, while the United States&#39; Felicia Lee grabbed third in 59.48.<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/65.110.72.225\/SPIPDF\/20070821japanw100flybf.pdf target=_blank>Click Here to view B finals results PDF file<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 200 backstroke<\/b><br \/>\nZimbabwe&#39;s Kirsty Coventry continued a remarkable meet in the Land of the Rising Sun as she tore through the 200-meter event in a time of 2:06.83.  That fell just shy of Krisztina Egerszegi&#39;s global standard of 2:06.62 set on Aug. 25, 1991.<\/p>\n<p>Coventry&#39;s performance made her just the second woman under the 2:07 barrier, and jumped her ahead of Margaret Hoelzer (2:07.16) and He Cihong (2:07.40) into second all-time.  Coventry previously sat fourth in the world with a time of 2:07.54 set at the World Championships in Melbourne earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Great Britain&#39;s Elizabeth Simmonds and Japan&#39;s Reiko Nakamura battled it out for second place as Simmonds touched in 2:09.52 and Nakamura took third in 2:09.91.<\/p>\n<p>The swim for Simmonds proved to be of the breakout variety as her previous best effort came with a 2:11.09 at Worlds in Melbourne.  The 2:09.52 moved her into the top 15 in the world.  Meanwhile, Nakamura came up a bit short of her best effort of 2:08.54 set at Worlds as well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/65.110.72.225\/SPIPDF\/20070821japanw200backf.pdf target=_blank>Click Here to view A finals results PDF file<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>China&#39;s Zhao Jing earned the B final triumph with a time of 2:12.18, while <i>Swimming World Magazine&#39;s<\/i> High School Swimmer of the Year Mary Beck of the United States took second in 2:13.15.

The performance chopped significant time off Irie&#39;s previous top time of 1:58.42 set at the Japan National Championships in April.<\/p>\n<p>Morita, meanwhile, placed second in 1:58.32, which stands as a personal best by surpassing his 2004 Olympic Games effort of 1:58.40.<\/p>\n<p>Great Britain&#39;s Gregor Tait took third in 1:58.86, which is better than his season-best time of 1:59.41 recorded at Worlds, but short of his personal-best readout of 1:57.42 set at the 2004 British Championships.<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/65.110.72.225\/SPIPDF\/20070821japanm200backf.pdf target=_blank>Click Here to view A finals results PDF file<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>China&#39;s Ouyang Kunpeng easily won the B final with a top-time of 2:01.51, while Japan&#39;s Junichi Miyashita touched second in 2:02.24.

That clocking was just off her effort of 1:57.54 from the previous day, as the leadoff leg to Australia&#39;s 800 free relay.<\/p>\n<p>McClatchey of Great Britain notched a second-place time of 1:58.28, while Sweden&#39;s Josefin Lillhage took third in 1:58.59.

That time stands among the top five times ever, all of which are owned by Jones as she is the only woman to break both the 2:21 and 2:22 thresholds.<\/p>\n<p>Although the United States&#39; Rebecca Soni gave Jones all she could handle for the initial 100 meters with Jones leading 1:08.89 to 1:08.91 at the midway mark, Jones powered home to easily claim the title.<\/p>\n<p>Soni improved her personal-best time with a second-place readout of 2:23.36.  That shaved a bit from her old top performance of 2:23.62 recorded at U.S. Nationals earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Japan placed third and fourth with Nanaka Tamura touching in 2:25.05 and Megumi Taneda hitting the wall in 2:25.45. <\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/65.110.72.225\/SPIPDF\/20070821japanw200breastf.pdf target=_blank>Click Here to view A finals results PDF file<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Japan&#39;s Rie Kaneto nipped Great Britain&#39;s Kirsty Balfour, 2:27.65 to 2:27.87, to walk away with the B final crown, while the United States&#39; Jessica Schmitt placed third in the heat with a time of 2:29.59.<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/65.110.72.225\/SPIPDF\/20070821japanw200breastbf.pdf target=_blank>Click Here to view B finals results PDF file<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men&#39;s 200 breaststroke<\/b><br \/>\nJapan&#39;s Kosuke Kitajima nearly popped the 2:10 threshold, a place where only world-record holder Brendan Hansen, Kitajima and Dimitri Komornikov have been.  Kitajima, however, closed the night with a gold-medal winning readout of 2:10.02.<\/p>\n<p>Great Britain&#39;s Kristopher Gilchrist did not give Kitajima much room to breath, as he closed the final 50 strong to touch in 2:10.32 for second.  The breakthrough performance for Gilchrist shot him right past the 2:11s and into rare territory as his previous best had been a 2:12.40 set at the Great Britain Championships in July.  Gilchrist moved into the top five all time past Ed Moses&#39; 2:10.40 and behind Mike Barrowman&#39;s 2:10.16.<\/p>\n<p>Kazakhstan&#39;s Vlad Polyakov rounded out the top three in 2:12.29, which lowered his season-best time of 2:13.09 recorded in July.<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/65.110.72.225\/SPIPDF\/20070821japanm200breastf.pdf target=_blank>Click Here to view A finals results PDF file<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Japan&#39;s Ryo Tateishi turned in a season-best time of 2:12.84 in an exciting victory over Bulgaria&#39;s Mike Alexandrov by the slimmest of margins as Alexandrov recorded a second-place 2:12.85 in the B final.
