Men's 100m Breaststroke Finals

Cameron Van Der Burgh didn't even qualify for the finals in 2008, but he has held the world record in 100m & 50m Breaststroke events since November 2008. I really liked how he celebrated his win. Already confident from the start, he seem to race with a smile to finish. And then he slung himself on top of the lane divider and soak in the moment. World Championships ain't enough for him. Olympics is the real deal and he has done it. Congrats!! Kosuke Kitajima failed to defend his 2x champion titles. His long time rival Brendan Hansen managed to finish 3rd. He was 4th in 2008. It's also excellent maintaining and keeping up, don't you think? :))
