Here are some more facts about the first day:
-Therese Alshammar was 3rd in 50 free, while Randall Bal got silver in 100 back. The two top names of the 2007 world cup took unfamiliar places on the awards stand on day one of the 2008 cup.
- Cesar Cielo won his first medal in a World Cup, a golden one, leaving behind the world record holder in the 100m free, Stefan Nystrand. ("grata surpresa", something like sweet surprise, he said - the word grato is grateful - )
-The crowd wasn't what it's used to be, less people, and there wasn't much (almost any) advertisement about the event.
-Brazil has won 23 medals this first day (including brazil's 500th world cup medal)
