Men’s 100 Butterfly

Despite it being a semifinal, Russia’s Andrei Minakov wanted a part in the meet record action as well. His 52.23 100 fly semi swim bettered the previous meet record by .05. It was set in 2015. Not the fastest home, Minakov’s opening speed gave him clear water, and a paved path to the win out of heat one.

Japan’s Shinnosuke Ishikawa was behind him in the heat with a 52.82, followed by Jordan Brunt of Australia (52.85), Umitcan Gures of Turkey (52.86) and Jan Friese of Germany (52.92).

Hungary’s Kristof Milak won the second heat for the second overall seed in 52.61. He will be Minakov’s biggest challenger in tomorrow’s final as he come home in a quick 27.67. Russia’s Egor Kuimov was the only other swimmer out of the second semi to qualify in the top eight (53.08).
