A number of countries made it onto the podium tonight, but China was the big winner in Daegu, South Korea, on the first night of the World University Games, which saw a number of Universiade records set, many of which had stood since the late 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>The first to go was the men&#39;s 200m butterfly standard held by Germany&#39;s venerable Michael Gross. It was a close race for the first 100 meters as the USA&#39;s Rainer Kendrick, Japan&#39;s Takeshi Matsuda, and Korea&#39;s Han Kyu Chul were all bunched close together, but on the third 50 Matsuda proved himself to be the class of the field, as he turned more than a second ahead of nearest pursuer Sergiy Advena of Ukraine. Continuing to build on that lead all the way through the finish, Matsuda touched in a swift 1:57.44, cracking Gross&#39; previous Universiade record of 1:57.78. Second place went to Advena at 1:58.74, and third went to the Bahamas&#39; Jeremy Knowles (1:59.21), who thundered past Kendrick (who would finish fourth) in the last 50. <\/p>\n<p>The women&#39;s 50m breaststroke went exactly as expected. The USA&#39;s Ashley Roby broke the Universiade record during preliminaries only to have it broken a few minutes later by China&#39;s World Champion Luo Xuejuan with a time of 31.15. It looked like she would give the world record of Great Britain&#39;s Zoe Baker (30.57) a challenge, but it was not to be as Luo tired over the last 20 meters to miss even her own record. Nonetheless, China&#39;s sprint breaststroke queen took gold in the final with a time of 31.39, with Australia&#39;s Jade Edmistone a surprise second in 31.74 ahead of the USA&#39;s Ashley Roby (31.92).<\/p>\n<p>The men&#39;s 200 breaststroke looked to be a second gold medal this evening for Japan as Daisuke Kimura led for every split of the race only to be edged at the wall. Instead, it was a new face, Russia&#39;s Sergei Gerasimov, who took gold. His time of 2:13.78 cracked the Universiade record held by Russian compatriot Alexander Tkatchev (2:14.69) by nearly a full second. Kimura was also under the former record, taking silver at 2:14.00. Ireland&#39;s Michael Williamson taking bronze in 2:15.52, confirming that the British Isles are at no dearth for breaststroke talent. The USA&#39;s best finisher was Christian Schurr, who took third in the B-final with 2:17.77.<\/p>\n<p>It&#39;s been a busy summer for Great Britain&#39;s Rebecca Cooke, one that has culminated in a bronze medal at the World Championships, but she found time to make another trip to the podium today, easily winning the women&#39;s 800m freestyle here in 8:33.84. The time also bettered the Universiade record of 8:34.82 set by 1988 Olympic medalist Noemi Lung of Romania. Second place went to China&#39;s Chen Hua, who was well off her best time with an 8:35.70, followed by Russias Olga Bereysneva in 8:36.66 for bronze. The USA&#39;s Adrienne Binder was a soundly defeated fourth (8:40.48), more than eight seconds off her personal best. <\/p>\n<p>China took its second gold medal of the evening, and surprisingly enough, it was won by a male swimmer. Ouyang Kunpeng dominated the men&#39;s 200 meter backstroke from start to finish, and was never headed. Touching in a time of 1:59.17, more than two seconds ahead of the field, he also erased 1988 Olympic champion Igor Poliansky&#39;s 1:59.76 Universiade record from the books. Second place went to Japan&#39;s Takashi Yakano (2:01.60). The USA&#39;s Christian DeJong just nipped teammate Trent Staley at the finish for bronze, 2:01.63 to 2:01.68.<\/p>\n<p>In a night that saw swimmers from the Bahamas and Ireland reach the podium, the most improbable surprise of all came from a determined French quartet. On paper, the US women&#39;s 400 freestyle relay couldn&#39;t be beaten. China could be close, but with one sprinter and a slew of distance swimmers on its relay, it didn&#39;t look a good bet for gold. It seemed as though this would be the moment the US team was waiting for &#8211; its first gold medal of the night, which would help to signify a momentum change in what could be considered a disappointing first session for a team with such depth. Someone forgot to tell Team France. <\/p>\n<p>China turned first at the 100, Xu Yanwei hitting the pads at 56.25 to USA&#39;s Rebekah Short&#39;s 56.96. Aurore Mongel of France was within half a second of Short, splitting 57.48. The USA&#39;s Jessie Perruquet posted the team&#39;s second fastest overall split (56.65), but couldn&#39;t outswim France&#39;s Celine Couderc (56.20), who overtook China after a disasterous second leg by Zhan Shu (58.00). France&#39;s Magali Monchaux took the lead from the USA&#39;s Marie Marsman, outsplitting her 56.54 to 57.04 on leg three, setting up a final duel between the rock of the French women&#39;s team, Solenne Figues, and sprint ace Stefanie Williams. Unless Williams could split a 54 high, which no one doubted she could, Figues, who has anchored teams in 55 low before, would lead the French team to victory. <\/p>\n<p>Despite Williams&#39; valiant effort, in which she split 55.03, Figues never relinquished her lead, splitting 55.28 to anchor the ecstatic French foursome to gold. France&#39;s time of 3:45.50, edged the USA team by almost two tenths of a second (3:45.68). China, despite the efforts of third leg swimmer Jiaying Pang (55.84) were out of it by the second leg and finished third in 3:47.50.<\/p>\n<p>Finals continue tomorrow night in Daegu. <\/p>\n<p><b>2003
