	Hansen catches Kitajima - The Boston Globe
		Hansen's victory, in a meet-record 59.37 seconds that was just seven-100ths of a second off the global mark he set last year, was the first by an American in the event since Steve Lundquist won in 1982.
		Hansen had heard the anthem before -- he'd won the 200 breast at the 2001 championships and swam on the medley relay in Athens.
		This summer, Hansen again came in with the year's best time and an iron determination to focus on the only race he could control: his own.

	United States Olympic Committee - American Brendan Hansen 3rd in 100-meter breaststroke
		Hansen's disappointments were in keeping with several others for a U.S. men's team that has fallen short of giddy forecasts.
		Hansen contended that the tumult surrounding his 100-meter race _ after which a teammate claimed Kitajima had used an illegal stroke _ had no impact on last night's event.
		Hansen picked up a little ground on the leader in the third leg (33.69 to 33.84) but faded down the stretch with a 34.79 final 50 meters that left him behind both the winner and Gyurta.
