Cesar Cielo Reclaims 100 Free World Title in Doha – Video

DOHA – Brazil’s Cesar Cielo charged his way to the title in the men’s 100 free at the FINA World Short Course Championships. Watch Race Video

Cielo threw down a swift time of 45.75, the second-fastest time in the world this year.

With the win, he joins compatriot Fernando Scherer and Sweden’s Lars Frolander as the only men to win the 100 free short course title twice in a career. Previously, Cielo won in 2010, but did not make the podium in 2012.

Russia’s Vlad Morozov has the fastest time in the world with a 45.51 meet-record relay leadoff earlier this week, but did not wind up competing in the individual even this week.

France’s Florent Manaudou, already a winner and world-record breaker in the 50 free and 50 back, snared the silver in the 100 with a time of 45.81 as just the third man under 46 seconds this year.

Russia’s Danila Izotov picked up bronze in 46.09.

Australia’s Tommaso D’Orsogna (46.13), Australia’s Cameron McEvoy (46.66), Belgium’s Pieter Timmers (46.90), Brazil’s Joao de Lucca (47.05) and Japan’s Shinri Shioura (47.38) also competed in the finale.
