-Brendan Hansen is a 26 year old from Havertown, Pennsylvania. He qualified for the 100 breast stroke.
- He has competed for and currently trains at University of Texas
- He represents the American breast stroke and is known as one of the greatest breast strokers in the history
- Brendan got silver in the 100 and bronze in the 200. (Gold in the relay) so he wanted to win both events this time (2008).
- Brendan held 3 world records, two of which were in the breast stroke till this year when Kitajima from Japan broke his 200 meter event (June 08).
- He has held the world record for both events for the longest time (2004 – 2008)
- Brendan however failed to qualify for the 200 meter event this year.
- He is now just going for the 100 event win and the relay.
- It was disappointing to see Brandon not coming through in both events since he has been dominating them for so long.
- US is now relying on the new breast strokers to beat the Japanese, Kitajima
