Ukraine’s Andriy Govorov, who set a world record in the 50 fly last month with a 22.27, qualified first for the final of that event with a 22.85. He finished 16-hundredths ahead of last year’s World champion in the event, Great Britain’s Ben Proud, who came in at 23.01.

Greece’s Kristian Gkolomeev qualified third in 23.22, and fourth was Germany’s Damian Wierling (23.34). Poland’s Konrad Czerniak and Italy’s Andrea Vergani tied for fifth in 23.37, ahead of the Netherlands’ Nyls Jan Korstanje (23.38) and Russia’s Oleg Kostin (23.41).

Hungarian legend Laszlo Cseh finished ninth at 23.48, just missing the final. Having yet to qualify for a final all week, Cseh will have one final chance in the 100 fly.
