DOHA –\u00a0Already a multiple winner this year, South Africa\u2019s Chad le Clos set himself with another potential gold by leading the 50 fly semis at the FINA World Short Course Championships.<\/p>\n

Le Clos turned up the heat tonight with a 22.20 meet record. \u00a0That\u2019s not as fast as his world-leading 21.98 from the Singapore stop of the FINA World Cup, but was good enough to upend the 22.22 meet mark set by Nicholas Santos in 2012.<\/p>\n

Santos, meanwhile, claimed the second seed in finals with a time of 22.48. He\u2019s been a bit faster with a third-ranked 22.43 from the Jose Finkel Trophy.<\/p>\n

Belarus\u2019 Yauhen Tsurkin turned in a third-seeded 22.54 to move to seventh in the world.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s Aleksandr Popkov (22.59), Belgium\u2019s Francois Heersbrandt (22.59), Ukraine\u2019s Andrii Govorov (22.61), USA\u2019s Tom Shields (22.70) and France\u2019s Mehdy Metella (22.71) also made the finals.<\/p>\n
