American Brendan Hansen beat his Japanese rival Kosuke Kitajima in a sprint finish to win the men's 100-meter breaststroke final. The pair flashed down the last lap stroke for stroke, but the 25-year-old Hansen just got his hands on the wall first to win the gold in 59.80 seconds, 0.67 outside his own world record of 59.13. Kitajima finished second in 59.96 to take the silver medal and Australia's Brenton Rickard was third in 1:00.58. (WCSN, WCSN.com)

  • @witewolf88 what? no its 58.91 by kitajima in 2008

  • @TheChanceStudios i doubt tht he goes 59 in meters

  • @youalreadyknow2314 yeah he can go a 55 in short course yards, the 59 is in long course meters, i believe its about a 10 second conversion for the 100 breast.

    

  • @2SOS i have a friend tht goes a :55 in 100y breast

  • He is so slow xD

  • a way faster then my record with freestyle stroke....

  • @HjerteknustMusiker i'd say he's a 1:08-09

    theoretically, you add 8 seconds to your SCY time to make it approximate to your LCM time. My teammate goes a 57.3 SCY and he only goes a 1:06 LCM

  • @2SOS

    100 meters is about 109.36 yards.

    It's almost a tenth extra distance, so that kid you mentioned would probably be closer to 1:05 on 100 meters.
