THE host nation erupted with joy when China&#39;s Ye Shiwen became the first swimmer in a textile suit to break the 2:09 barrier in the women&#39;s 200 IM at the FINA World Long Course Championships.<\/p>\n<p>Ye dropped the hammer on the final two laps of the race, much to the delight of the Chinese in Shanghai, and clocked an astonishing time of 2:08.90.  That swim eclipsed her previous textile best of 2:09.37, and gave hope that maybe a textile-clad swimmer might track down Ariana Kukors&#39; world record of 2:06.15 from the techsuit era. Ye&#39;s time from this evening is the 10th fastest of all time.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I am satisfied with my swim,&quot; Ye said. &quot;Before the race, I was very nervous. I&#39;m weak in the butterfly, so I was trailing in the first leg. At one moment, I thought that I couldn&#39;t catch up with the leaders, so I just gave it all I had. With about 20 meters to go, I was quite sure that I could win.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Australia&#39;s Alicia Coutts nearly joined Ye under 2:09 with a scorching time of 2:09.00 for silver to give the Aussies a second consecutive silver medal in the event.  Stephanie Rice took second to Kukors of the U.S. back in 2009. Kukors, meanwhile, settled for bronze with a 2:09.12. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;I&#39;m really happy and excited,&quot; Kukors said. &quot;Ye was incredible in the last 50 meters. I am incredibly happy, like I said yesterday, a couple of girls had the chance to win.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Ye&#39;s win is the first for China in the event since the drug-tainted victory by Wu Yanyan back in 1998. Heading into the techsuit era, Wu&#39;s 1997 world record of 2:09.72 had always been the benchmark for swimmers in the event.  With Rice&#39;s fourth-place 2:09.65, four swimmers went under that former world record.<\/p>\n<p>USA&#39;s Caitlin Leverenz (2:10.40), Hungary&#39;s Katinka Hosszu (2:11.24), Great Britain&#39;s Hannah Miley (2:11.36) and Canada&#39;s Julia Wilkinson (2:16.18) also were part of the historic race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For full Swimming World coverage of the entire 2011 FINA World Championships, including all videos and recaps, visit our Event Landing Page.
