Brendan Hansen gave himself one more shot at an elusive individual Olympic gold medal as he won the men's 100m breaststroke at the US Olympic swimming trials.

Hansen, 30, secured his London Games berth with a victory in 59.68sec, with Eric Shanteau second in 1:00.15.

The final was one of three on the second night of the trials, which also featured Ryan Lochte's narrow victory over Michael Phelps in their 200m freestyle semi-final.

Dana Vollmer laid the ghost of 2008 with a victory in the women's 100m butterfly.
