Defending Champion Kitajima finished fourth at the first semifinals, which was abit worrying - but as competition was too fierce in the first round (the world record was almost challenged), he got in into the finals in the end. :) 29 years of age, he meet his usual rivals Brendan Hansen and Brenton Rickard for the past 10 years in the same event. They reset each other's world records, beat each other at championships...and now they're here again for the same old game. South Africa's Cameron van der Burgh won in the first semifinals and Christian Sprenger won in the second.
The resulting line-up for the finals:
1. Cameron van der Burgh (Rsa)
Olympic Record
2. Fabio Scozzoli (Ita)
3. Brenton Rickard (Aus)
4. Christian Sprenger (Aus)
5. Giedrius Titenis (Ltu)
6. Kosuke Kitajima (Jpn)
7. Daniel Gyurta (Hun)
8. Brendan Hansen (Usa)
