South Africa’s Chad le Clos buzzed the world-record tower in the men’s 100 fly with a blazing time of 48.56.  That swim cleared his world-leading effort of 48.59 from the Dubai stop, and nearly cleared the world record of 48.48 set by Evgeny Korotyshkin during the 2009 World Cup stop in Berlin.

Women’s 400 free

The Iron Lady Katinka Hosszu kept steamrolling her way to the FINA World Cup points victory with a ninth gold medal tonight as she dropped a 4:01.02 in the 400 free.  This was her toughest test of the night, however, as Spain’s Mireia Belmonte actually led at various points of the race before taking second in 4:02.73.  Hungary’s Evelyn Verraszto collected an impressive sixth bronze of the meet with a third-place 4:16.51.

Hosszu’s win broke a record for the most gold medals at a FINA World Cup meet, a record she held multiple times in the past two years with eight golds.
