Adrian, Ledecky nab more US short-course gold
Nathan Adrian
Greensboro - Arab Today
Olympic 100m freestyle gold medallist Nathan Adrian won the 200-yard freestyle at the USA Swimming's Winter Nationals.
Sprint specialist Adrian won in 1min 32.83sec for his first national title over a longer distance, albeit in yards rather than over the international race standard of 200 meters.
Katie Ledecky, the 17-year-old superstar who this year lowered world records in the 400m, 800m and 1,500m freestyle, won the women's 200-yard free in 1:42.39.
Adrian and Ledecky are among the few big names competing in the meet which coincides with the short course World Championships in Doha.
Nathan had won the 50-yard free on Thursday, when Ledecky triumphed in the 500-yard free.
Among other winners on Friday, Japan's Junya Koga won the 100 yard backstroke with a time of 44.91sec.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
