Kosuke Kitajima of Japan won the 200 breaststroke world title at the World Swimming Championships in Melbourne on March 30. He did so without racing U.S. rival and world-record holder Brendan Hansen, who withdrew from the preliminaries because of a virus.

Kitajima, the current Olympic and 2003 world champion, won in 2:09.80 -- 1.19 seconds ahead of Aussie Brenton Rickard.

Kitajima was under Hansen's world record through 100 meters, but couldn't maintain the pace.
