FRANCE&#39;s Alexianne Castel defended her top ranking from this year with an even swifter time to win the women&#39;s 200 back in French-record fashion at the FINA World Short Course Championships.<\/p>\n<p>Heading into today with a top-ranked 2:03.01 from the French Short Course Championships earlier this month, Castel raced to victory in a time of 2:01.67. That swim beat Alexandra Putra&#39;s French record of 2:02.36 set in 2008, and moved Castel into a fourth-place tie with Aya Terakawa on the all-time charts.  Only Shiho Sakai (2:00.18), Elizabeth Simmonds (2:00.91) and Kirsty Coventry (2:00.91) have been faster.<\/p>\n<p>USA&#39;s Missy Franklin became the undisputed American record holder in the event with a second-place time of 2:02.01.  That swim beat her American record of 2:03.26 set during prelims, and also cleared the previously legitimate, but un-ratified, top time by an American in the event of a 2:02.72 clocked by Margaret Hoelzer last December during the Duel in the Pool.  USA Swimming chose to ignore techsuit swims that took place by Americans after USA Swimming enacted a techsuit ban domestically in Oct. 2009.  FINA, however, did not implement the ban until Jan. 1, 2010.  Franklin jumped to sixth all time in the event with the tremendous effort.<\/p>\n<p>China&#39;s Zhou Yanxin completed the podium with a third-place time of 2:03.22 to beat her Chinese record of 2:04.37 set earlier in the meet. <\/p>\n<p>Ukraine&#39;s Daryna Zevina (2:03.61), The Netherlands&#39; Sharon van Rouwendaal (2:04.10), Czech&#39;s Simona Baumrtova (2:06.05), USA&#39;s Madison White (2:06.23) and Hungary&#39;s Zsuzsanna Jakabos (2:06.74) grabbed the rest of the finishes in finals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/magazines.swimmingworldmagazine.com:9997\/spipdf\/20101215wscd3f.pdf target=_blank>Day Three Finals Results<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lock in your Fantasy Swimming picks throughout the week as part of the World Short Course Championships festivities!
