Kazakhstan has its first Olympic swimming medal. Dmitriy Balandin pulled off a stunning upset in the men's 200-meter breaststroke on Wednesday night, winning from the eighth lane to put his central Asian country on the swimming medal stand for the first time. But Balandin was right with him in the outside lane, and Koseki couldn't keep up the pace. Yasuhiro Koseki of Japan went out fast and was more than a second under world-record pace at the final turn. Josh Prenot of the United States claimed silver in 2:07.53, while Russia's Anton Chupkov landed the bronze in 2:07.70.
