Florent Manaudou Races Way to Second World Record With 50 Back Win at Worlds – Video

Florent Manaudou Doha 2014

DOHA – France’s Florent Manaudou dominated the men’s 50 back en route to a world record at the FINA World Short Course Championships. Watch Race Video

Manaudou threw down an epic time of 22.22, crushing Peter Marshall’s world record of 22.61 from Singapore in 2009.  It also blasted Stanislav Donets’ meet record of 22.93 from Dubai in 2010.

This world record pairs well with Manaudou’s other global standard of 20.26 in the 50 free.

That’s France’s sixth medal of this meet (3G, 1S, 2B), as the nation is just two medals away from equaling its top tally of eight from 2010 (3G, 3S, 2B).

USA’s Eugene Godsoe was unable to challenge Manaudou or the 23-second barrier as the American wound up with silver in 23.05.

Donets snared bronze overall with a time of 23.10, while Venezuela’s Albert Subirats earned fourth in 23.16.

Australia’s Mitch Larkin (23.18), USA’s Matt Grevers (23.32), Great Britain’s Chris Walker-Hebborn (23.33) and Norway’s Lavrans Solli (23.48) also vied for the title.
