On the second day of competition, the weather became a factor with the temperature dropping about 10 degrees and blustery winds sweeping the water?s surface like a giant broom. World record holder Brendan Hansen settled for silver in the 100m breast stroke, after touching the wall 0.17 seconds behind Japan?s Kosuke Kitajima.
