Nishikawa, 19, took control early and held off what was expected to be a charge by the 17-year-old Kojima on breaststroke. When that didn\u2019t materialize, the elastic broke and both saved up for finals, Kojima coasting home in 4:27.43 with a spot in the B final.<\/p>\n<p>Nishikawa took it out hard.

Nishikawa was fourth at the World Championships in this event last year.
