Beijing: China is still on the top in points table in Beijing Olympics as Japan’s Kosuke Kitajima won the men’s 200- meter breaststroke on Thursday morning for his second gold medal of the Beijing Olympics.

Also a winner in the 100 breaststroke on Monday, Kitajima lowered his own Olympic record by nearly a second to 2 minutes, 7.64 seconds. He won both breaststroke events at the 2004 Athens Olympics as well.

“I am so relieved,” said Kitajima, also the world record holder. “I was going to improve my time a bit more, but I guess that to win this race is more important than to set a good time.”

While, China has successfully maintained his top position in Olympics village.
