   Swimming: U.S. Adds Another Gold;   Chinese Woman Sets World Mark     

    Melvin Stewart got the U.S. off to a flying start in the swimming
competition Thursday by winning the gold medal in the men's 200-meter
butterfly at the Olympics in Barcelona.

    A Chinese swimmer set a world record in the women's 200 individual
medley.

    And Matt Biondi of Castro Valley, Calif., settled for a silver in the 50
freestyle.

    Stewart, the world-record-holder in the 200 butterfly, set an Olympic
record of 1 minute, 56.26 seconds.

    Danyon Loader of New Zealand won the silver medal and Franck Esposito of
France won the bronze.

    Stewart, of Charlotte, was on a world-record pace until he slowed with
a big lead with 25 meters left.

    Lin Li of China won the gold medal in the women's 200 individual in a
world-record time of 2:11.65.

    She broke the mark of 2:11.73 set by East German Ute Geweniger in 1981.

    American Summer Sanders of Roseville, Calif., finished
26-hundredths of a second behind to win the silver. Daniela Hunger of Germany
won the bronze.

    Alexander Popov of the Unified Team won the gold in the men's 50 freestyle
over defending Olympic champion Biondi.

    American Tom Jager of Tijeras, N.M., won the bronze. Jager holds the
world record.

    Later Thursday, medals will be awarded in the men's 100 backstroke,
the women's 400 medley relay and the women's 800 freestyle.

    Jeff Rouse of the U.S. will duel Spanish star Manuel Zubero in the men's
100-meter backstroke.

    Janet Evans is favored in the women's 800 freestyle after turning in
the best qualifying time Wednesday, and the American team is favored in the
women's 400 medley relay.
