On the opening night of the FINA/airweave World Cup Series in Doha van der Burgh was once again on point in the 50m breaststroke, winning the race in a fast 26.96 from teammate Giulio Zorzi in 27.69.  On the same night there was another medal for van der Burgh in the 200m breaststroke, as he scooped the bronze medal in 2:12.14.  
Last night van der Burgh showed just why he is the current overall rankings leader, as he grabbed the gold medal in the 100m breaststroke, clocking a quick 59.68sec.

The team now heads to Dubai for the final leg of the World Cup on 6-7 November.
