Men’s 100 fly

Chad le Clos, the defending champion in the event with a 48.82 meet record in 2012, put up the top time in semis with a time of 49.25.  He’s been much faster this year with a top-ranked 48.56 on the FINA World Cup circuit, and should challenge his world record of 48.48 in finals.

Australia’s Tommaso D’Orsogna tracked down the second seed in 49.69 to move to fourth in the world, while USA’s Tom Shields picked up the third seed in 49.91 as the only other sub-50 of the night.

Brazil’s Marcos Macedo (50.03), Japan’s Kosuke Hagino (50.07), USA’s Ryan Lochte (50.09), Belarus’ Yauhen Tsurkin (50.14) and Russia’s Evgeny Korotyshkin (50.26) all made the final field as well.

The 2012 podium is still in tact with Gold (Le Clos), Silver (Shields) and Bronze (Lochte) all still in play for the finale.

Name 50 100
Le Clos 22.93 49.25
D’Orsogna 23.14 49.69
Shields 23.27 49.91
