OLYMPIC champion Ruta Meilutyte blasted through the 30-second barrier in the long course 50 breaststroke today at the Barcelona stop of the Mare Nostrum series, setting a European record in the process. Meanwhile, Sweden&#039;s Sarah Sjostrom picked up two victories in the city which will host the FINA World Championships next month.<\/p>\n<p>Meilutyte, the reigning 100 breast Olympic champion who represents Lithuania, posted a 29.96 in today&#039;s final to erase Yulia Efimova&#039;s European record of 30.10 from 2009. The swim is a world textile best in the event, making Meilutyte the first female under 30 seconds in the event in a textile suit. American Jessica Hardy still owns the world record with a 29.80 from 2009. Notably, Hardy had previously owned the textile best with her 30.03 from the 2010 Pan Pacific championships.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#039;s swim marks Meilutyte&#039;s second European record of the past few days. On Saturday, she broke her own European record in the 100 breast with a 1:05.20 <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/lane9\/news\/World\/34661.asp target=\"_blank\">on Saturday in Monaco<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Meilutyte did not swim the women&#039;s 50 breast final alone, but she had no competition, winning the race by more than a second. Denmark&#039;s Rikke Moeller Pederson finished second in 31.00, and Russia&#039;s Valentia Artemyeva grabbed third in 31.58. Pederson, meanwhile, came back later in the session to win the 200 breast in 2:22.93. No one else has been faster this year, as Pederson holds the top time in the world at a blistering 2:20.53. Japan&#039;s Kanako Wantanabe finished runner-up in 2:25.20, and Russia&#039;s Irina Novikova grabbed third in 2:25.33.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden&#039;s Sjostrom earned two victories, in the women&#039;s 50 and 200 free events. Sjostrom won the 50 in 24.73, edging the 24.90 of Germany&#039;s Britta Steffen. Sjostrom finished just short of her sixth-ranked 24.70 from earlier this year, while Steffen tied Natalie Coughlin and Femke Heemskerk for eight in the world. Denmark&#039;s Jeanette Ottesen Gray picked up third in 24.96.<\/p>\n<p>Sjostrom came back later in the women&#039;s 200 free, where she used a blazing last lap to overtake Hungary&#039;s Katinka Hosszu. Sjostrom split 28.63 on the final 50 to win in 1:57.72, over Hosszu&#039;s 1:58.24. Hosszu had swum a meet record-time of 1:57.14 in prelims, breaking Tang Yi&#039;s mark of 1:57.64 from 2010 and moving her up to ninth in the world. Meanwhile, Spain&#039;s Melanie Costa Schmid finished third in 1:58.33.<\/p>\n<p>Hosszu did, however, earn a victory in the women&#039;s 400 IM. The 2009 world champion in the event, Hosszu clocked 4:35.60 for the triumph, bumping her up to fifth in the world, just behind fellow Hungarian Zsuzsannah Jakobos. Spain&#039;s Mireia Belmonte Garcia took second in 4:39.90, and Brazil&#039;s Joanna Maranhao picked up third place in 4:45.89. Meanwhile, Ottesen Gray took the win in the women&#039;s 100 fly in 57.89. That fell a bit short of her second-ranked 57.63 from Saturday in Monaco. Slovakia&#039;s Katarina Listopadovka finished second in 59.47, and Norway&#039;s Ingvild Snildal touched third in 59.62.<\/p>\n<p>Two South African Olympic gold medalists from a year ago swam in Barcelona in their respective gold medal events, but only one earned a victory. Cameron van der Burgh took the men&#039;s 100 breast title in 1:00.38, which left him just one one-hundredth of a second outside of the world top-ten. Brazil&#039;s Felipe Lima grabbed second in 1:00.82, and New Zealand&#039;s Glenn Snyders finished third in 1:01.12.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Chad Le Clos swam a 2:02.14 200 fly in prelims to finish ninth, and he had to settle for a win in the event&#039;s B-final in 1:57.02. Hungary&#039;s Bence Bizco won the A-final in 1:56.71, just edging Japan&#039;s Yuki Kobori. Kobori finished second after a tight battle with Bizco the entire race. Russia&#039;s Nikolay Skvortsov came in third at 1:58.53. Le Clos also finished runner up in the men&#039;s 50 fly, clocking 23.90, while countryman Roland Schoeman set a meet record of 23.30 to take the win. Russia&#039;s Nikita Konovalov took third in 23.98.<\/p>\n<p>Japan&#039;s Aya Terakawa put up a meet record in winning the women&#039;s 100 back. The top swimmer in the world this year at 59.47, Terakawa touched in 59.47. Canada&#039;s Sinead Russell edged Spain&#039;s Duane Da Roche Marce for second place, 1:00.56 to 1:00.64. Belmonte pulled away from New Zealand&#039;s Lauren Boyle to win the women&#039;s 800 free. Belmonte stopped the clock at 8:26.00, while Boyle came in at 8:28.60, and Erika Villaecija Garcia finished third in 8:35.83.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa&#039;s Gerhard Zandberg won the men&#039;s 50 back in 25.14. The 2007 world champion in the event did not swim at the 2012 Olympics but has a history of strong performances in this non-Olympic event. Spain&#039;s Aschwin Wildeboer Faber grabbed second in 25.33, while Israel&#039;s Johnatan Kopelev touched third in 25.47. Germany&#039;s Yannick Lebherz took a tight men&#039;s 200 back in 1:59.02, overtaking New Zealand&#039;s Gareth Kean on the final lap. Kean finished second in 1:59.32, and Hungary&#039;s Gabor Balog took third in 1:59.77.<\/p>\n<p>Japan&#039;s Daiya Seto won the men&#039;s 200 IM in 1:59.00, while Germany&#039;s Markus Deibler took second in 2:00.81. South Africa&#039;s Michael Meyer ended up third in 2:02.26. Spain&#039;s Hamser Hernandez Garcia took the men&#039;s 100 free title in 49.14, while Russia&#039;s Evgeny Lagunov edged Japan&#039;s Sinri Shioura for second, 49.40 to 49.47. South Africa&#039;s Myles Brown ended the night with a men&#039;s 400 free triumph in 3:52.47. Japan&#039;s Ayatsugu Hirai finished second in 3:52.70, just touching out Finland&#039;s Matias Koski, who swam a 3:52.86.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By David Rieder BARCELONA, Spain, June 11.
