People thought he was crazy for going out too fast. People thought he was done after failing to medal last summer in the 200 fly. People didn’t think he stood a chance against the Hungarians in their home crowd. But Chad Le Clos silenced all those doubters with a world title in the 200 butterfly on Wednesday in Budapest.
Le Clos went out fast in the final with a 53.2 and held on for the gold medal with a 1:53.33 to hold off Hungarian Laszlo Cseh (1:53.72) and Japanese Daiya Seto (1:54.21). Le Clos won his second world title in the 200 fly after he originally won in 2013.
Hungary’s Tamas Kenderesi (1:54.73), USA’s Jack Conger (1:54.88), Japan’s Masato Sakai (1:55.04), Denmark’s Viktor Bromer (1:55.30) and Bulgaria’s Antani Ivanov (1:55.98) also swam in the final.
