US ahead despite Agnel’s heroics

AFP, London
Yannick Agnel won the men's 200m freestyle in scintillating style Monday, but 17-year-old Missy Franklin helped the United States stay in front of France in the Olympic swimming medals race.
Agnel’s dominant victory in a talent-laden field drew praise from French President Francois Hollande, but it was just one compelling story on a dramatic night of racing.
Franklin lived up to her billing by taking 100m backstroke gold in her first Olympic final, but she wasn't the only teen queen at the Aquatics Centre.
Ruta Meilutyte became the first 15-year-old since Australian icon Shane Gould in 1972 to win Olympic swimming gold -- and gave Lithuania a first gold with a gutsy triumph in the 100m breaststroke.
As Franklin and Meilutyte were savouring a first taste of Games glory, 14-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps booked his place in the 200m butterfly final to give himself a chance to grab yet another slice of Olympic history on Tuesday.
A victory in the 200m fly would make Phelps the first man to win the same swimming event at three straight Games. Lie's also slated for the 4x200m freestyle relay, and needs just two more medals of any colour to surpass Larisa Latynina's record career total of 18 Olympic medals.
While Phelps will be back in the spotlight soon
enough, Monday belonged to Agnel.
The Frenchman's storming anchor leg gave France the 4x100m upset win over the United States on Sunday, and he followed up with a masterful performance in a 200m free final loaded with talent.
Agnel won France's third swimming gold of the Games in Imin 43. Msec as Asian rivals Park Tae-Hwan of South Korea and Sun Yang of China dead-heated for silver behind him in 1:44.93 --1.79sec adrift.
Reigning world champion Ryan Lochte, a dominant winner in the men's 400m medley, was relegated to fourth place and world recordholder Paul Biedermann of Germany was fifth. He did that in emphatic style, then made extra sure with a fearsome finishing lap.
It was Agnel's second straight victory over US star Lochte, who was anchoring the relay team when Agnel surged past him on Sunday for the win.
While Lochte couldn’t add to his 400m medley gold and relay silver, Franklin was thrilled to follow up relay bronze with a gold that she hopes is the start of a collection.
Franklin barely had time to catch her breath after nabbing the eighth and last spot in the 200m freestyle final before she returned for the 100m back.
But she had plenty in the tank as she stormed past Emily Seebohrn on the second lap to win in 58.33sec.
Seebohrn, who flirted with the world record in the heats, settled for silver in 58.68 and Japan's Aya Terakawa earned bronze in 58.83.
