One day after setting a new World Record in the final of the men’s 200m IM, Ryan Lochte (USA) was again in excellent shape on day 4 of the 11th FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) in Istanbul, setting a new world best mark in the semis of the 100m IM. Qualifying first for the final, the U.S. superstar touched home in 50.71, improving the previous WR (50.76) of Peter Mankoc (SLO) from December 2009. In the decisive race of this event, to be held this Sunday, the last day of the Championships, Lochte is the top favourite for the gold.
In the finals of this Saturday, Ruta Meilutyte (LTU), Nicholas Santos (BRA) and Shiwen Ye (CHN) all won with new Championships Records, respectively in the women’s 100m breaststroke (1:03.52), the men’s 50m butterfly (22.22), and the women’s 200m IM (2:04.64). The fourth meet’s record (26.11) of the day was established by Jing Zhao (CHN) in the semis of the women’s 50m backstroke. Before the last day in Istanbul, two World and 15 Championships Records have been set at the Sinan Erdem Arena.
To close the day, Robert Hurley gave the first gold to Australia at these Championships, winning the men’s 50m backstroke while the United States clinched one title in the women’s 4x100m free relay. However, the U.S. domination in the medals table is a fact, with a total of 20 awards (8 gold, 5 silver and 7 bronze) in Istanbul. Hungary (3+2+3, total of 8) and China (2+4+3, total of 9) complete the top-3 of this ranking.

FINA World Short Course Swimming Championships:
Flash! Ryan Lochte Crushes 1:50 Barrier in 200 IM for World Record
Published:December 14, 2012
ISTANBUL, Turkey, December 14. OLYMPIC star Ryan Lochte supplied the first world record of the 2012 FINA World Short Course Swimming Championships this year by pushing through the 1:50 barrier in the men's 200 IM.

FINALS
Women's 100 free

Germany's Britta Steffen confirmed her superiority in the event this year with a victory in the event. Not only did she dominate the sprint freestyle events on the FINA World Cup circuit, she followed that up with a world title in 52.31 to better her top time this year of 52.38 from the Singapore stop of the World Cup. She also closed the distance on her German record of 51.76 from the techsuit era that puts her sixth overall.

It's been a long time coming for Steffen as well, as it has been 12 years since she won a short course world medal, having been part of Germany's silver-winning 400 free relay as a 16-year-old in 2000.

USA's Megan Romano led at the 50 with a 25.28 split, then held on as Steffen blasted by her on the backhalf but still managed to earn silver in 52.48 to vault to 21st in the all time rankings. China's Tang Yi rounded out the podium with a third-place 52.73 as it took a sub-53 to make the podium.

"Not bad at all," Tang said. "After the Olympics I've been training a lot for this meet. I'm very satisfied with my swim. I didn't pay attention if it was perfect or not."

Germany's Daniela Schreiber (53.05), Australia's Angie Bainbridge (53.09), Sweden's Michele Coleman (53.45), USA's Jessica Hardy (53.52) and Sweden's Louise Hansson (53.65) also vied for the world title. Steffen stopped the U.S., Sweden and Australia from becoming the first nation to win the race three times.

Women's 200 back
She was unable to match her scorching world-leading time of 2:01.97 from the European Short Course Championships, but still managed to dominate the finale en route to a world title as Ukraine's Daryna Zevina dropped a 2:02.24 on the field for the win.

"I'm very happy, because in Ukraine my parents are watching on TV. They saw I am a champion, so I'm proud," Zevina said. "This is my first (world) championships medal. It's always possible (I would lose). Maybe another girl will swim faster than me in the second part of the race. I could see the others trying to close the gap, so I just tried to swim faster."

Zevina is just the second woman from Ukraine to win a gold medal at this meet ever, joining Yana Klochkova's six golds.

USA's Bonnie Brandon earned silver with a time of 2:03.19 to be the second-fastest swimmer this year, and moved into the top 20 all time. Spain's Duane Da Rocha completed the medalwinners with a time of 2:04.15. Brandon's silver extended USA's medal streak in this event to seven meets. The last time the U.S. missed the podium in the women's 200 back was in 1999.

"I swam very poorly. My strategy was not there," Brandon said. "Winning is everything, so it is a disappointment that it was such a bad swim. I screwed up at the start and stayed angry about that for the whole race. I am happy I won the silver medal with such a bad race."

Japan's Marie Kamimura (2:04.22), Great Britain's Elizabeth Simmonds (2:04.55), New Zealand's Melissa Ingram (2:05.45), Czech's Simona Baumrtova (2:05.49) and Slovenia's Anja Carman (2:05.62) placed fourth through eighth off the podium.

Men's 200 breast
No one could stop Hungary's Daniel Gyurta as he upgraded his silver in the event from the 2010 events to gold with a scintillating meet-record of 2:01.35. That performance erased the 2:03.12 set by Naoya Tomita in 2010, but is still short of Gyurta's world record of 2:00.67 from the techsuit era.

"Based on the heats I decided to push from the beginning," Gyurta said. "I did not want the race to be decided on the finish like during the (2012) Olympics. I wanted the race to be decided after the first 150m and I managed to do that, because the others could not take the pace. I love the city of Istanbul. I won the European title here (at the 2009 European Short Course Championships) so I was really happy to come back and win the last gold missing in my collection."

Great Britain's Michael Jamieson (2:03.00) and Russia's Viatcheslav Sinkevich (2:03.08) made up the rest of the podium, while long course world-record holder Akihiro Yamaguchi of Japan just missed with a 2:03.23. Jamieson jumped to eight all time, breaking his national record of 2:03.77 from the European Short Course Championships. Sinkevich bettered his previous top time of 2:03.34 from the 2011 Salnikov Cup.

The top two finish of Gyurta and Jamieson replicated the men's 200 breast from the 2012 London Olympics with Gyurta winning with a bigger gap this time around.

Great Britain's Andrew Willis (2:03.29), USA's Clark Burckle (2:03.58), Germany's Marco Koch (2:03.68) and Japan's Yukihiro Takahashi (2:04.92) also competed in the finale.

Women's 50 fly
China went 1-2 in the sprint fly with Lu Ying (25.14) and Jiao Liuyang (25.23) each surging past Denmark's Jeanette Ottesen Gray (25.55) for the top two times in the finale. Lu pushed to eighth all time, clearing her Chinese record of 25.34 from the 2010 edition of short course worlds.

"I'm so happy. The level of us three medallists is similar," Lu said. "I'm not better than the others, perhaps I was able to pay attention to some little details a bit more than them."

Jiao, meanwhile, now holds 11th all time in the event and earned her second silver medal of this meet. Ottesen Gray already had a 25.21 to her credit from the European Short Course Championships earlier this year, and could not replicate that swim.

"I'm very satisfied with silver. I didn't think I could grab it. This is not my event," Jiao said.

This is the first time that a single nation has swept gold and silver in the women's 50 fly at this meet.

Canada's Noemie Thomas (25.60), USA's Christine Magnuson (25.70), USA's Claire Donahue (25.88), Poland's Anna Dowgiert (25.90) and Estonia's Triin Aljand (26.01) comprised the rest of the championship field.

Men's 400 free
Germany's Paul Biedermann defended his title in the middle-distance event, and utilized a scorching final split of 25.19 to do it. China's Hao Yun had lead throughout the race, but split a 27.00 down the stretch to fall in a touchout to Biedermann, 3:39.15 to 3:39.48. Denmark's Mads Glaesner clinched bronze in 3:40.09.

Biedermann is the fourth man to win this race twice as Australia's Daniel Kowalski and Grant Hackett as well as Russia's Yuri Prilukov have also won more than one world title in the event. Biedermann is also the oldest to win the event at 26, older than Chad Carvin (25) was when he won in 2000.

"I'm disappointed," Hao said. "I kept the lead during the whole race, then the last turn didn't go too well. I was keeping an eye on the others, but when I touched the wall I thought I was first. I didn't see [Biedermann] coming."

New Zealand's Matt Stanley (3:41.01), USA's Michael Klueh (3:41.29), Faroe Islands' Pal Joensen (3:42.23), Tunisia's Ahmed Mathlouthi (3:42.48) and Denmark's Anders Nielsen (3:42.80) also swam in the finale.

Women's 400 free
Spain's Melanie Costa Schmid touched out USA's Chloe Sutton for gold, 4:01.18 to 4:01.20, as the two overhauled the leaders Lauren Boyle and Elena Sokolova down the stretch. Costa Schmid ripped through a 29.11 final split, while Sutton threw down a scorching 29.09 but waited just a bit too long to turn on the heat.

"I just closed my eyes and went for it. I can't believe I won," Costa Schmid said. "I didn't think I would be this fast. I am a bit sick. I didn't think I could do better than in the 800m race (she was ninth in the 800m freestyle final on Thursday), so I just can't imagine I actually won."

The win is Costa Schmid's first this meet (and first by a Spanish woman in this event ever), while Sutton collected just her second medal at a worlds event held in a pool. The former open water star now has a bronze and silver to her credit this week.

"I've come to a realization: I'm never satisfied with my swim," Sutton said. "I always want to be faster. Yesterday I got a bronze, today a silver. It's an improvement. And I had fun."

Boyle, New Zealand's 800 freestyle champion, claimed bronze with a 4:01.24 after leading throughout the rest of the race. Her 30.29 final split was not enough to hold onto the lead. Russia's Sokolova, who paced Boyle throughout, dropped to fourth with a 4:01.49 in an incredibly close finish.

With top-seed Katinka Hosszu scratching to focus on the 100 IM, and world-record holder Camille Muffat staying home as the French nearly no-showed the meet, the finale was a bit watered down this evening. However, the history books rarely remember the specifics and swimmers look to win based on whatever circumstances are presented at the time.

Great Britain's Jazmin Carlin (4:02.45), Australia's Angie Bainbridge (4:04.07), China's Zhou Lili (4:04.87) and Spain's Erika Villaecija Garcia (4:05.78) also competed in the fun-filled championship heat.

Men's 50 free
The top two swimmers from the European Short Course Championships put on a show this evening with the final result being flipped. Russia's Vlad Morozov crushed the field with a 20.55, just missing the meet record of 20.51 set by Cesar Cielo in 2010, but was enough to shoot him to fifth all time in the event. The swim broke his own Russian record of 20.79 from the European Short Course Champs.

The Euro winner, Florent Manaudou of France, tracked down silver with a 20.88 -- off his previously world-leading time of 20.70 from Euros. The runner-up finish stopped him from a triple crown of victories at the Olympics, Euros and Worlds in a single year.

"I am a bit disappointed with the turn," Manaudou said. "After the turn I saw Vladimir was in front of me and I thought the race was over. In the final meters, I didn't try as hard as I could have and I let him win by quite a margin."

USA's Anthony Ervin, who has been a globetrotter this year by competing on all the FINA World Cup stops, grabbed bronze in 20.99 -- not far off his American record of 20.85. Although, as explained ad nauseum during short course meter events, that's not the fastest legal time by an American as Nathan Adrian has been 20.71 in a techsuit.

USA Swimming decided that American records set in techsuits after Oct. 1, 2009 -- when USA Swimming implemented the techsuit ban domestically - would not be ratified. This is the case even for times swum legally in international events where ban was not in effect yet.

"I had a bit of a rough week," Ervin said. "My body was not feeling 100 percent OK. I felt much better when I was swimming the World Cups. This week's training was not going very well. But my mental spirit was OK, so winning this bronze was a win over my body."

Trinidad and Tobago's George Bovell (21.03), Italy's Marco Orsi (21.23), USA's Josh Schneider (21.38), Ukraine's Andrii Govorov (2.44) and Italy's Federico Bocchia (21.58) rounded out the championship heat.

Women's 100 IM
FINA World Cup Queen Katinka Hosszu can now call herself a double world titlist, having won a pair of golds this week already. She charted a meet-record time of 58.49 in the sprint medley after scratching the 400 free earlier in the evening. That swim eclipsed the 58.65 set by Ariana Kukors in 2010, and cut half-a-second from Hosszu's personal best of 58.83 from the European Short Course Championships. She now stands fifth all time in the event, and is the first person to break five figures in race winnings this week with $12,000 thus far. That's pocket change compared to the more than $150,000 she won on the World Cup circuit.

Hosszu became the first Hungarian of either gender to win three medals as a short course world championship meet, although Laszlo Cseh would shortly join her in the 200 IM.

Lithuania's Rute Meilutyte showed she's more than just a breaststroker, picking up silver in 58.79 to move to 10th all time in the event's history. China's Zhao Jing completed the podium with a bronze-winning 58.80. That's China's first medal in the 100 IM ever.

Jamaica's Alia Atkinson (58.85), Belarus' Aliaksandra Herasimenia (58.94), Great Britain's Sophie Allen (59.03), Hungary's Zsuzsanna Jakabos (59.41) and Germany's Theresa Michalak (59.68) finished fourth through eighth.

Men's 200 IM
Olympic superstar Ryan Lochte scorched the finale with the first world record of the meet with a blistering time of 1:49.63 in the 200 IM. That performance downed his previous record of 1:50.08 set in Dubai in 2010. That victory gave Lochte his 10th short course world title in his career, and confirmed his spot as one of the best short course swimmers of all time.

В касание/ Про взаимозависимый мир и неожиданную связь России и Камбоджи в спорте

http://arabic-frost.livejournal.com/32995.html

Давненько не писал, но я всё-таки жив... :)

1. Из недавно прочитанного выделю, пожалуй, довольно объемистую "Ну Америка" Игоря Свинаренко. Общие и краткие впечатления: бойко, местами образно, местами неожиданно, местами весело, но всё же... во-первых, не является чем-то цельным, напоминает несколько самостоятельных очерков, втиснутых в одну книгу скорее для объема... во-вторых, многовато повторений, перекрестных ссылок, одних и тех же мыслей разными словами, одних и тех же приемов и оборотов... из-за этого первые 70-80 страниц книга читается буквально на одном дыхании, а потом ощущение легкости и свежести текста стремительно и неуклонно уходит... чтиво делается слишком вязким и однообразным.

Хоть и считают некоторые Свинаренко едва ли не лучшим публицистом России, но писать большие книги - отдельное искусство, и что вполне прокатывает в статье и колонке, может совсем не работать в 400-страничном кирпиче. Да и морализаторства можно было бы и поменьше. Но, кто желает ознакомиться, чем же дышит простой американец рубежа веков, прочитает с интересом... по крайней мере половину :)

Самая забавная мысль оттуда и наверное самое удачное наблюдение: "Американцы в своем сознании совершенно не увязывают воедино выпивку и закуску. Примерно так же некоторые африканские племена не видели никакой связи между сексом и деторождением"... :) Улыбнуло значительно :))

Глобализация на примере хоккея... нет, я не совсем про расширение географии, не про сборные Кувейта или Армении, тут в моей ленте и без меня есть кому... :) я больше про прессу... она до поры была куда более консервативна, чем сама игра. Но, в последние годы в Штатах среди хоккейных авторов замечены например, Анзар Хан (популярный блоггер Детройта) и Сантош Венкатараман (пишет превью для yahoo) которым вроде бы куда сподручнее о крикете... ну или на крайняк о хоккее на траве :) а также сразу несколько негров, причем в сильных изданиях (Тарик аль-Башир в Вашингтон пост, парень из Филадельфии Инкуайер, всё забываю фамилию :) ).

Да, они конечно не колумнисты, в основном новостники-блоггеры, но всё же... В Бостон Глоуб один из основных хоккейных авторов - Флуто Синадзава, а в Лос-Анджелес Таймс главный хоккейный обозреватель и вовсе женщина Хелен Эллиотт. И ничего, живут... :)) Думаю, первая женщина-комментатор хоккея появится еще при нашей жизни :)) как оказалось, в космос им слетать проще :))

Так что, границы всё более условны. Все теперь могут всё. Русский забраться на подиум "Формулы 1", китаец выиграть барьерный спринт на Олимпиаде, иранец стать лидером юношеской сборной Швеции по хоккею, немец стать MVP сезона в НБА, голландец выиграть Супербоул...

А как вам такая судьба? Эфирили по осени юношескую олимпиаду из Сингапура, так там мелькнул в турнире пловцов парень по имени Chamraen Youri Maximov из... Камбоджи (!!!) :) оказывается, его матушка не кто иная как Сеоунг Ратчави - выпускница МГИМО (!)... зам генсека АСЕАН (!!!)...

про суженого удалось установить только то, что он Владимир Максимов из СССР... однокурсник, наверное... :)


3. Из всех этих ближневосточных заморочек может быть и выйдет даже что-то полезное... надеюсь, наконец-то западная цивилизация сделает-таки решающее усилие над собой и перестанет пользовать двигатели внутреннего сгорания, придуманные еще около века назад... а то смешно уже, люди выращивают кристаллы, расшифровывают геномы, строят супер-компьютеры и андронные коллайдеры, а потом вечером садятся на машины с бензиновым двигателем, принципиальная схема которого неизменна уже черт-те-сколько... :) вот когда лучше всего понимаешь, что на самом деле миром правит не американский президент, а саудовский король... :)

4. На Киевском направлении электричек расписаниями поездов в вагонах часто торгует мужичок, удивительно похожий на Александра Лаэртского... с учетом того, что я в поездах частенько слушаю в плеере архивные выпуски "Монморанси", то когда вижу его, в этот момент переживаю очень забавные ощущения... :))

5. В жизни вне работы (её немного, но она таки есть! :)), похоже, после долгого затишья намечаются некоторые сдвиги к лучшему... пока ничего больше говорить не буду... посмотрим... очень надеюсь, что жизнь наконец-то перестала смеяться надо мной... :)

Комментарий из Камбоджи:
 
Про взаимозависимый мир и неожиданную связь России и Камбоджи в спорте:



"...парень по имени Chamraen Youri Maximov из... Камбоджи..."  - мой сын, ему сейчас 16 лет, 3 дня назад он установил новый Национальный Рекорд Камбоджи в плавании на дистанции 50м вольным стилем на Чемпионате Мира по Плаванию который в эти дни проходит в Стамбуле, Турция. Впервые в истории Камбоджи он проплыл дистанцию 50м быстрее 26 сек, выиграв при этом свой заплыв, где всего плыло 10 спортсменов из Катара,Албании, Уганды, Бурунди, Гайаны, Ганы и Камбоджи. Эта дистанция самая массовая на Чемпионате - в заявке было168 участников, правда на старт вышло чуть меньше 155 спортсменов. Кстати, дистанцию 50м вольным стилем на этом Чемпионате Мира выиграл наш русский пловец Владимир Морозов, который тренируется в США, а другой наш соотечественник из Украины занял в финале 7 место. Так что Юрию есть на кого равнятся, он хоть и живет большую часть жизни в Камбодже и является ее гражданином, родился он все-таки в Москве и первые уроки плавания он получил в детском саду при Посольстве России в Пном Пене в далеком 2001 году. Впоследствии он тренировался в течении 3 лет в Индонезии в одном из лучших спортклубов Юго-Восточной Азии под руководством известных тренеров из Индонезии и США и за свою 6-летнию спортивную карьеру был 8 раз Чемпионом Камбоджи, установил 20 Национальных Рекордов, выигрывал золотые медали на открытом Чемпионате Джакарты, Кубке Губернатора Джакарты, в его коллекции всего более 100 кубков, медалей и вымпелов с различных соревнований в Индонезии, Сингапуре, Тайланде и Камбодже.
