Hansen smashes record
14 April 2012
Bendan Hansen obliterated the 100metres breaststroke world record by almost half a second while winning the final of the US trials in California.
The 22-year-old swam 59.30sec as arch rival Ed Moses missed out on a place for the Athens Olympics, as he trailed in sixth.
Hansen, who broke the American record he shared with Moses in the semi-finals, wiped out the 59.78sec time previously set by Japan's Kosuke Kitajima.
