TWO national records were broken on Day Three of the 79th Japanese National Championships at Tatsumi Pool in Tokyo.  <\/p>\n<p>The first came in the women&#39;s 1500 meter freestyle, where 400 free winner Sachiko Yamada had no problem in disposing of her competition, and sending a signal to Europe and the Americas that she&#39;ll be ready for Worlds. Yamada touched in a world-leading 16:12.75, breaking her own Japanese mark by nearly four full seconds. Second place went to Ai Shibata, more than twenty seconds behind Yamada at 16:34.94.<\/p>\n<p>Men&#39;s distance swimming in Japan seems to be a sore spot for the national program at the moment, as the men&#39;s 800 free was won by Takeshi Matsuda in a lackluster 8:02.92, with Shunichi Fujita taking second even further back at 8:05.87. <\/p>\n<p>In the absence of Japanese superwoman Tomoko Hagiwara, Maiko Fujino took a clear-cut win in the women&#39;s 200 meter individual medley. Her time of 2:16.32 was more than a second faster than second place Misa Amano (2:17.70).<\/p>\n<p>Medley swimming doesn&#39;t seem to be a problem for the Japanese men though, as Jiro Miki took a swift 200 IM win at 2:00.69, with Hidemasa Sano behind him at 2:01.73, good for second place.<\/p>\n<p>Semifinal action was almost more intriguing than the finals today, as two of Japan&#39;s top female swimming stars made a resurgence to the elite ranks of world swimming. Masami Tanaka, who has been training in the United States with Curl-Burke, leads after semifinals of the women&#39;s 200 meter breaststroke with a 2:26.43, and Olympic medalist Mai Nakamura, back in the pool after toying with retirement, has posted the third fastest time going into tomorrow&#39;s 100 backstroke final (1:01.93). Noriko Inada leads qualifiers with her clocking of 1:01.86, just one-hundredth ahead of Reiko Nakamura.<\/p>\n<p>To the surprise of no one, 200 meter breaststroke world record-holder Kosuke Kitajima leads all qualifiers in his pet event, with a scorching 2:10.59 in semifinals, and Atsushi Nishikori finally destroyed the oldest Japanese men&#39;s record on the books. His semifinal time of 54.54 in the men&#39;s 100 meter backstroke broke the 15 year-old national record  of 55.05 set by Daichi Suzuki in his upset win over David Berkoff at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games.<\/p>\n<p>Other top qualifiers for tomorrow&#39;s night finals are Tomoko Nagai in the women&#39;s 200 free (2:01.98), Yoshihiro Okumura in the men&#39;s 200 free (1:50.71), and Junko Onishi (27.48) and Ryo Takayasu (24.59) leading women&#39;s and men&#39;s 50 fly qualifiers, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>RESULTS<\/p>\n<p>Women 1500m Freestyle Final<br \/>\nRank\tname\tTime\tnote<br
