Going out, Chupkov was actually only 4th at the 50 and second at the 100 before making a move in the second half of the race. He split an impressive 1:03.11\/1:04.48, out splitting the rest of the field by several seconds over the second 100.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chupkov has a tendency to take his races out slow and build through the second half. When he recorded his current best time of 2:06.80 at the European Championships this summer he was out in 1:02.38, a little more than half a second faster than his opening split in Kazan.
