(Shanghai, CHN)--- In the Day-2 evening finals, many spectacular sparkles
could be seen. Cesar Cielo Filho (BRA) has definitively solid nerves.
First Olympic champion for Brazil in 2008 (50 free), he touched the sky
in 2009 after winning the 50 and 100 free races at the World Champs in
Rome (ITA). “Positive” nerves, one would say: you train, you make splendid
races, you win, and you receive your medal (occasions in which he often
cries…). Cielo has since then become a legend in Brazil. He is one of the
most prestigious ambassadors of the Olympics Rio 2016. Two months ago,
his world turned upside down: after taking his nutritional supplement,
a positive doping test led to a warning from his National Federation. FINA
appealed the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and the Olympic
champion had to wait for an audience held while he was already in Shanghai
to know if he could swim at the champs: the verdict was a relief for him.
The warning sanction was validated by TAS and Cielo was free to shine in
the pool. In the evening finals in the M 50 fly, Cielo ranked 1st in 23.10. |
| ..................................................................... |

In four other finals, new world champions became: Dana Vollmer USA
in the W 100 fly (56.87); in the W 200 IM, Shiwen Ye CHN earned
gold medal with the time of 2:08.90; in the M 100 breast Alexander Dale

- 24.19 (23rd), etc. In the evening SFs, Lendjer ranked 11th (23.54), while

After winning the men’s 400 free at the 2007 FINA World Championships in
Melbourne (AUS) and reinforcing his status of Korean star at the Beijing
2008 Olympic Games (gold in the men’s 400 free and a silver in the 200),
Tae
Hwan Park did not appear in great shape at the 2009 Worlds in Rome
(ITA), finishing only 12th in the longest distance. In 2010, Park seemed
to have recovered, with victories in the 100, 200 and 400 of the Asian
Games. |
| ..................................................................... |
|
In Shanghai, he confirmed that he is back to the top, winning the first
swimming final of the programme at the 14th FINA World Championships Shanghai
2011, precisely the 400m free, in a time of 3:42.04. It was the third fastest
400m victory in the history of the FINA World Championships, after the
3:40.17 triumph of Ian Thorpe (AUS, 2001) and the 2009 win of Paul Biedermann
(GER, 3:40.07, the current World Record). At 21, Park demonstrates that
he is ready for the 2012 Olympic celebration in London (GBR). |

Cavic: "I feel water under my fingers..."
 |
|
(Shanghai, CHN)--- For the popular Belgrade sports media the Sportski Zurnal,
Mike Cavic, Olympic Vice Champion and the World Champion, gave an exclusive
interview in the Shangai's Hotel Hua Ting. With some kind of positive energy,
Cavic reminds readers on the first steps at the World Championships held
in Fukuoka, Japan in the course of 2001. He also used to mention the participation
in the Sydney Olympics in 2000 when he was just 17. |
| ..................................................................... |
|
“In Melbourne 2007, I have arrived after two months of preparation and
was twice ranked 6th. Have to be mentioned that in the course of 2006,
I almost said good bye to swimming. However, in Melbourne, I caught the
ticket for Beijing Olympics." |
| Cavic also added: “The World Championship
Rome 2009 was the spectacle. The gold medal in the 50 Fly, and after that
a "battle" against Michael Phelps. Almost all people lived for that race
and considered it as a replay on the Beijing 2008. In spite I've earned
silver medal, I think the preassure has not been solved. But I learned
something. That might help me at the London 2012." |

Phelps
faces the task to repeat Beijing 2008 successes...
 |
|
(Shanghai, CHN)--- Michael Phelps came back to the country where
he has earned the name of the world swim king. The triumphant pictures
of Phelps with his eight Beijing gold medals hanged around his neck cannot
be forgotten. Now he is back with the aim to repreat the same positions
at the podium. |
| ..................................................................... |

However, one can neglect the cover pages of many yellow magazines after
a British newspaper ran a photo of Phelps nuzzling a marijuana pipe in
early 2009. But he stayed calm reconsidering his plans to continue swimming
through the 2012 Olympic Games. For the media yesterday, Phelps said: "After
having messed around for two years it's hard to know where I stand," as
he started acclimatization here in Shanghai for the start of racing in
the competition pool on Sunday. "I'm taking steps in the right direction
and I know that, and I think that's something that I'm fairly happy with." |
| ..................................................................... |
| Now Phelps is 26. All eyes are steered
to him and his new accomplishments. His coach Bob Bowman could do little
but he has little doubt that Phelps can add to his Olympic legacy in London. |

prestigious and respected Sports in the five continents”, Maglione concluded. |
