Japan Open: Kosuke Kitajima Breaks National Record in 100 Breast, Makes Swimsuit Statement -- June 6, 2008

TOKYO, Japan, June 6. DURING the first day of competition at the Japan Open held in Tokyo, Kosuke Kitajima made a statement both in and out of the water. Meanwhile, several other Japanese records fell at the meet.

Kitajima won the men's 100 breast in a national record time of 59.44, improving his stature as the second best in the event behind only world-record holder Brendan Hansen's 59.13. Kitajima surpassed his previous Japanese record of 59.53 set at the 2005 World Championships.

According to various reports from the area, Kitajima also made a statement outside of the water with a T-shirt stating "I am the swimmer" in protest of the ongoing issues between the Japanese Swimming Federation and the swimsuit manufacturers. Advertisement

"It's a shame Japanese swimmers haven't been permitted to wear the Speedo suit," Kitajima told Reuters about completing the swim in a Speedo LZR Racer. "I'm happy to get the chance. It's a terrific suit. You can see the results for yourselves."
