OUS Mellouli of Tunisia pulled off a pretty tough double with a back-to-back wins in the men&#39;s 1500 free and 200 free to finish off the Belo Horizonte, Brazil stop of the 2008 FINA World Cup. South Africa&#39;s Katheryn Meaklim and Australia&#39;s Marieke Guehrer also scored a pair of gold medals during the final day of action.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilians also posted several top performances in front of a partisan crowd as Cesar Cielo and Fabiola Molina walked away with national records.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men&#39;s 1500 freestyle<\/b><br \/>\nAlthough he had a bit more competition than he might have planned, Olympic 1500 free gold medalist Ous Mellouli of Tunisia emerged victorious from the event in the shorter course.<\/p>\n<p>Trailing throughout large portions of the race, Mellouli had enough in the tank to win with a 15:16.43.  Brazil&#39;s Luiz Arapiraca gave him nearly all he could handle with a second-place 15:16.91.  Brazil&#39;s Armando Negreiros wound up third in 15:22.15.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 100 freestyle<\/b><br \/>\nAustralia&#39;s Marieke Guehrer picked up the sprint gold with a top time of 53.27, taking the victory out of lane three.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden&#39;s Josefin Lillhage finished second in 53.49, while Brazil&#39;s Tatiana Lemos-Barbosa wound up third in 54.34.

He touched in 1:44.58 using a strong back half swim for the win.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil&#39;s Rodrigo Castro finished second in 1:46.32, while Australia&#39;s Kyle Richardson rounded out the podium in 1:46.68.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 50 breaststroke<\/b><br \/>\nRussia&#39;s Valentina Artemyeva touched out Tara Kirk of the U.S., 30.78 to 30.89, in the sprint breast event.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden&#39;s Rebecca Ejdervik completed the top three with a time of 31.30 for third place.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men&#39;s 100 breaststroke<\/b><br \/>\nAustralia&#39;s Christian Sprenger put on a show in the men&#39;s 100 breast.  He rocketed to a winning time of 58.19, not far off the world record of Ed Moses set with a 57.47 back in 2002.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil&#39;s Felipe Lima took second in 59.80, while countryman Eduardo Fischer finished third in 1:00.08.  Lima just missed Fischer&#39;s national record of 59.30 set in 2003.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 400 IM<\/b><br \/>\nSouth Africa&#39;s Katheryn Meaklim cruised to victory in the longer distance medley when she topped the finale in 4:38.11.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil&#39;s Joanna Maranhao-Melo grabbed second-place honors with a time of 4:41.24, while Australia&#39;s Jackie Staples wrapped up the top three spots with a time of 4:44.29.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men&#39;s 100 butterfly<\/b><br \/>\nRussia&#39;s Evgeny Korotyshkin just missed his national record of 50.44 set last December, but still wound up winning comfortably in 50.86.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil&#39;s Thiago Pereira took second with a time of 52.05, while compatriot Guilherme Santos touched third in 52.53.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 100 backstroke<\/b><br \/>\nBrazil&#39;s Fabiola Molina used a superior back half to track down the title in 59.07.  That readout came up just short of Molina&#39;s national record time of 58.98 set last November.<\/p>\n<p>Australia&#39;s Sophie Edington could not keep her front end speed and wound up second in 59.31, while Colombia&#39;s Carolina Henao finished third in 59.46.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men&#39;s 50 backstroke<\/b><br \/>\n2007 World Cup Champion Randall Bal of the U.S. bounced back from his first backstroke loss in the World Cup in a year with a triumph in the sprint back.  He clocked a time of 23.87 to take top billing in the event.<\/p>\n<p>Russia&#39;s Stanislav Donets, who delivered Bal&#39;s loss yesterday, took second in 24.21, while Brazil&#39;s Daniel Orzechowski placed third in 24.84.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 200 butterfly<\/b><br \/>\nSouth Africa&#39;s Mandy Loots claimed the crown in the event with a time of 2:09.78, while teammate Katheryn Meaklim just held off a stiff challenge for second.<\/p>\n<p>Meaklim touched out Australia&#39;s Jackie Staples, 2:10.92 to 2:10.99, for the runner-up prize money.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men&#39;s 200 IM<\/b><br \/>\nThiago Pereira of Brazil knew no peer in the shorter medley when he cruised into the gold medal with a time of 1:56.33.<\/p>\n<p>Teammate Henrique Rodrigues collected second place in 1:58.70, while Tunisia&#39;s Ous Mellouli finished third in 2:10.59 to demonstrate some sprinter speed.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 400 freestyle<\/b><br \/>\nSouth Africa&#39;s Katheryn Meaklim, back in the water after a short break from the 200 fly, grabbed the middle distance title with a time of 4:14.95.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil&#39;s Isabelle Longo finished second in 4:15.73, while countrywoman Amanda Macedo placed third in 4:21.78.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men&#39;s 50 freestyle<\/b><br \/>\nOlympic gold medalist Cesar Cielo matched the Brazilian record in the sprint free with a time of 21.32.  The time matched the 21.32 set by Santos back in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden&#39;s Stefan Nystrand claimed second with a swift time of 21.50, while Santos placed third in 21.53.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 200 breaststroke<\/b><br \/>\nIn an exciting finish, Tara Kirk of the U.S. touched out Valentina Artemyeva of Russia, 2:27.00 to 2:27.06, for the 200-meter title in what had become a back-and-forth breaststroke rivalry this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil&#39;s Tatiane Sakemi hit the wall in 2:31.52 to take third-place money.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 100 IM<\/b><br \/>\nWith Rebeca Gusmao now banned for life due to doping violations, many of her records could be considered drug-tainted.  One of those went down as Brazil&#39;s Fabiola Molina blazed to a time of 1:01.52 in the sprint medley.  That time cleared Gusmao&#39;s 2004 record of 1:02.09.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden&#39;s Josefin Lillhage placed second in 1:01.93, while South Africa&#39;s Mandy Loots took third in 1:02.35.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men&#39;s 200 backstroke<\/b><br \/>\nThe Bal-Donets rivalry should be a fun one to watch if both swimmers decide to compete throughout the World Cup circuit this season.  Randall Bal of the U.S. had just a bit more in the tank in the longer backstroke when he touched in 1:54.11.  <\/p>\n<p>Stanislav Donets of Russia, meanwhile, finished second in 1:54.62.  Germany&#39;s Lucian Hassdenteufel rounded out the podium in 1:58.20.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#39;s 50 butterfly<\/b><br \/>\nAustralia&#39;s Marieke Guehrer blasted the sprint fly to wrap of competition at the Belo Horizonte stop of the World Cup.
