THIS is our preview of the events to be contested tomorrow, Tuesday, July 24, at the World Championships in Fukuoka. For more information on the meet, take advantage of <a href=http:\/\/www.swiminfo.com\/swimshop\/shop_detail.asp?iPid=8&#038;iCatId=2> Swimming World and Jr. Swimmer Magazine&#39;s Special Subscription Offer <a\/><\/p>\n<p>Only four finals will be swum on Tuesday, but they include some of the most eagerly anticipated match-ups of the Championships, and they are enhanced by the fact that every single race offers the strong possibility of a world record being set.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men\u2019s 100 meter Breaststroke<\/b><br \/>\nMany observers see the duel between Russia\u2019s Roman Sloudnov &#8211; the only man ever to crack the one minute barrier &#8211; and the USA\u2019s Ed Moses, as the premier event of the Championships.  And it\u2019s hard to disagree.<\/p>\n<p>Last month Sloudnov twice broke Moses\u2019 WR of 1:00.29 at the Russian Trials, first going 1:00.26 in the semis, then bursting through the one minute mark in the finals with a 59.97.  That record lasted only until today\u2019s semifinals in Fukuoka, where the Siberian sprinter lowered that time to 59.94.<\/p>\n<p>But Sloudnov was also favored last year to win in Sydney, and Moses beat him.  Overlooked in all the <i>Sloudnov vs. Moses<\/i> hype last year was Italy\u2019s Domenico Fioravanti, who beat both of them to take Olympic gold.<\/p>\n<p>Fukuoka is Round Two.  This time, the Italian is no secret.  The two favorites are painfully aware of his presence.  But the guy they may be overlooking is Japan\u2019s Kosuke Kitajima, who swam a NR 1:00.61 in the semis, just behind Moses\u2019 1:00.50.  This 18 year-old high school senior is a Big Meet swimmer, a young man who has risen to the occasion every time he\u2019s been called upon in his brief career.  With the backing of the home crowd, he\u2019s looking to upset.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the field is very fast, with a 1:01.98 needed just to make the finals.  It may take a world record to win here.<\/p>\n<p>Our picks:<br \/>\n1.  Roman Sloudnov (RUS)<br \/>\n2.  Ed Moses (USA)<br \/>\n3.  Kosuke Kitajima (JPN)<\/p>\n<p>Definitely capable of medaling: Domenico Fioravanti (ITA)<br \/>\nOutside shots: Oleg Lisagor (UKR), Morgan Knabe (CAN), Darren Mew (GBR)<\/p>\n<p><b>Women\u2019s 50 meter Backstroke<\/b><br \/>\nThe world record-holder, Germany\u2019s Sandra Volker (28.25) is here and in the best shape of her life, eager to take the crown in the 50 meter backstroke in this, the first time it\u2019s been contested in the World Championships.  And she\u2019s certainly the favorite.  But her competition is very strong, with any one of the eight finalists capable of winning.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re picking the USA\u2019s Natalie Coughlin, who was simply awesome at the NCAA Championships, to upset the German record-holder.  She swam the fastest semifinal time, 28.49 (AR) to Volker\u2019s 28.51. <\/p>\n<p>With a good start, Coughlin\u2019s Cal teammate, Haley Cope, could also medal, but she\u2019ll have to beat Olympic 100m back champ, Diana Mocanu of Romania, Spain\u2019s Nina Zhivanevskaya, Germany\u2019s Antje Buschschulte and Australia\u2019s Dyana Calub.<\/p>\n<p>Our picks:<br \/>\n1.  Natalie Coughlin (USA)<br \/>\n2.  Sandra Volker (GER)<br \/>\n3.  Antje Buschschulte (GER)<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t count out: Haley Cope (USA), Nina Zhivanevskaya (ESP), Diana Mocanu (ROM), Dyana Calub (AUS)<\/p>\n<p><b>Men\u2019s 200 meter Butterfly<\/b><br \/>\n Oh, Lordy, is this going to be a race!  It took a sub-1:58 just to make the final field of eight, but this is likely to shape up as a four-man battle, including the youngest finalist at the Championships and one of the oldest.<\/p>\n<p>Qualifying in a tie for first were the USA\u2019s Tom Malchow, the Olympic champion and former WR-holder, and France\u2019s Franck Esposito, the old man in the field at 30.  Their time of 1:55.03 is the second fastest in history, bettered only by Michael Phelps\u2019 WR of 1:54.92 set in March.<\/p>\n<p>Phelps, who just turned 16 last month, is the third qualifier (1:56.41sf, 1:56.11p), just a tenth of a second ahead of Ukraine\u2019s Denis Silantiev.<\/p>\n<p>It will almost certainly take a WR to win this one.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re looking for a one-two US sweep, with Malchow regaining his global standard from the teen sensation, Phelps.  Esposito, the 1998 world silver medalist who has a history of not quite performing up to his capabilities when the chips are down, should just edge Sydney Olympic silver medalist Silantiev for the bronze.<\/p>\n<p>Our picks:<br \/>\n1.  Tom Malchow (USA)<br \/>\n2.  Michael Phelps (USA)<br \/>\n3.  Franck Esposito (FRA)<\/p>\n<p>Could upset: Denis Silantiev (UKR)<br \/>\nLong shots: Takashi Yamamoto (JPN), Justin Norris (AUS)<\/p>\n<p><b>Men\u2019s 800 meter Freestyle<\/b><br \/>\nThe men\u2019s 800 free is the day\u2019s third event that could qualify for the title of &quot;greatest event of the World Championships.&quot;  As in the 400 free, the main protagonists are Boy Wonder Ian Thorpe, who won the 400 in WR time, and teammate Grant Hackett, the Olympic champ at 1500 meters whose 3:42 two days ago in the 400 made him the second fastest man in history.<\/p>\n<p>When these two met in Hobart in March, they swam side-by-side for 700 meters before Thorpe unleashed a devastating kick over the final 100 meters to obliterate Kieren Perkins\u2019 seven year-old WR of 7:46.00.  Thorpe\u2019s 7:41.59 and Hackett\u2019s 7:44.57 make the two Aussies easily the two fastest men in history.<\/p>\n<p>Buoyed by his great 400 swim, Hackett has predicted he will take down his younger rival in the 800.  But to do so, he\u2019ll have to build a two- to three-second lead through 700 meters.  We don\u2019t think Thorpe will let him do it.<\/p>\n<p>Thorpe should get his third gold medal of the Championships in his quest for seven, with both men under Thorpe&#39;s barely-dry WR and a sub-7:40 a distinct possibility.<\/p>\n<p>Ten or more seconds back, there will be a spirited battle for the bronze featuring the USA\u2019s Chris Thompson (7:57.11), bronze medalist in Sydney in the 1500; Russia\u2019s Alexei Filipets (7:56.89), fourth in that race; Britain\u2019s reborn Graeme Smith (NR 7:56.73) and possibly Japan\u2019s Shunichi Fujita and Italy\u2019s Andrea Righi.<\/p>\n<p>Our picks:<br \/>\n1.  Ian Thorpe (AUS)<br \/>\n2.  Grant Hackett (AUS)<br \/>\n3.  Graeme Smith (GBR)<\/p>\n<p>Fighting for the bronze: Chris Thompson (USA), Alexei Filipets (RUS), Andrea Righi (ITA), Shunichi Fujita (JPN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Phillip Whitten FUKUOKA, Japan, July 23.
