Thursday, July 30 is a glorious day for Chinese swimmer LIN Li, when she won
the gold medal in WOMEN'S 200 METER INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY, adding to her 2
silver medals already won in the last few days in the XXV Summer Olympics.

Lin Li won the gold medal for this event 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.
Summmer Sanders of U.S. and Daniela Hunger of Germany won the silver and
bronze medals respectively.

China's Wang Huifeng won the silver medal in WOMEN'S FOIL FENCING. Italy's
Giovanna Trillini won the gold medal of the event while the bronze medal
went to Tatiana Sadovskaia of the Unified team.

Zhang Di shared the bronze medal in WOMEN'S 134 POUND JUDO COMPETITION with
Elena Petrova of the Unified team. Catherine Fleury of France won the gold
medal and Yael Arad of Israel won the silver medal.

News agencies' medal standings of the games listed China as having won an
additional bronze medal in today's events, though the particular event
escapes the editor of this report.
