He competed in the three rounds of the event despite not being at 100 percent, losing out on the opportunity to win a third-straight world title.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen he came here, he was feeling bad, and he didn\u2019t swim well (in the 50 fly),\u201d Alves said.<\/p>\n<p>Cielo is now undergoing treatment for the injury to his shoulder, Alves said, so he can be ready for the first Olympic qualifier for Brazil\u2019s Olympic team in December.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe felt it was better to go home and get treatment, because if he kept swimming, it would get worse,\u201d Alves said.<\/p>\n<p>Cielo loses out on the chance to win the 50 free four consecutive times and join <a href=<strong>Ryan Lochte<\/strong> and <strong>Grant Hackett<\/strong> as the only swimmers to win an individual event four times in a row at the world championships.
