Less than an hour after breaking the World Junior Record in the men’s 50 back, Michael Andrew of the United States crushed another mark in the men’s 50 free. He beat the previous mark of 22.00 set by China’s Yu Hexin in 2014 and the championship record of 22.11 set by Australia’s Luke Percy in 2013.

Andrew’s previous best time had been 22.03, only three hundredths off the World Junior Record.

He qualified first by more than a half second, as France’s Maxime Grousset took second in 22.34, and Venezuela’s Alberto Mestre picked up the third seed with his time of 22.57.
