France’s Florent Manaudou cracked 23 seconds again to stand tall as the men’s 50-meter fly world champion at the 2015 FINA World Championships.

Manaudou hit the wall in 22.97 for the gold medal, off his French record of 22.84 from the semifinal heats.

That’s Manaudou’s third career world title as he continues to pile up a strong resume heading into the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Brazil’s Nicholas Santos took home silver with a time of 23.09. He’s been faster this year with a 22.90 from the Maria Lenk Trophy meet.

Hungary’s Laszlo Cseh and Poland’s Konrad Czerniak shared bronze with 23.15s.

Ukraine’s Andrii Govorov placed fifth overall in 23.18, while two-time defending champion Cesar Cielo took sixth with a 23.21 as he’s been battling a shoulder injury.

Singapore’s Joe Schooling lowered his Asian record with a 23.25 for seventh overall, while Great Britain’s Ben Proud took eighth overall in 23.39.
