BARCELONA. Spain - Where Matt Biondi floun­ dered, teammate Mike Barrowman flourished. And while Greg Louganis stayed home, his No. 1 fan, Mark Lenzi, claimed gold. The pair of Olympic newcomers grabbed center pool Wednesday, with Barrowman torching his way to an Olympic record in the morning and a world record this afternoon to win the gold medal in the 200- meter breaststroke. Lenzi opened the post-Louganis Olympic era with a gold in the 3-meter springbqard diving. In winning his race, Barrowman broke his own record of 2:10.60 set in 1991 - the sixth time the Potomac, Md., resident has broken the world mark in the event. His victory came one day after Biondi, the seven-medal man from Seoul, finished fifth in the 100 freestyle. Barrowman finished in 2:10.16, more than a second ahead of silver medalist Norbert Rosza of Hungary. Nick Gillingham of Britain won the bronze. It was the American men's third swimming gold of the Games, all from athletes who weren't at the '88 Olympics. Nelson Diebel of Chicago, who didnt go, and Pablo Morales of Sarita Clara, Calif., who didn't qualify, were the other medalists. Despite ·Barrowman's heroics, Wednesday's most impressive victory belonged to the Unified Team's Evgueni Sadovyi, who became the first triple gold medalist of the Games by annihilating the world record in the 400-meter freestyle. Sadovyi's time of3 minutes, 45 seconds was nearly 1 1/2 seconds faster than the record set by Kieren . Perkins of Australia in April. Perkins was .16 of a second behind Sadovyi to take the silver. Sadovyi, 19, had already won medals in the 200 freestyle and the 800 freestyle relay. Lenzi's gold medal was ind.cative of Louganis' pervasive influence on the diving. It was the retired diver's 1984 double gold medal performance that convinced Lenzi to take up the sport, and the new medalist remains a Louganis fan. Louganis captured the springboard and platform golds at Los Angeles in 1984 and at Seoul in 1988. "Louganis was a great champion, and like I've said before, you can't replace a great champion," Lenzi said. "But you can't replace me either." ------::-----:::---::::--:--:-=-::= ==,..,..,,,,_,.,...... __ ,,,,______
