But at the end of the day, China&#8217;s <strong>Xu Jiayu\u00a0<\/strong>successfully defended his 100 back world title with a 52.43. It wasn&#8217;t a particularly fast time as Xu has been under 52 seconds in the past, but the gold medal will last forever as he now joins\u00a0<strong>Aaron Peirsol\u00a0<\/strong>as the only swimmers to successfully defend the 100 back at the World Championships.

In fact, it was Russia&#8217;s <strong>Evgeny Rylov\u00a0<\/strong>who won the silver medal in 52.67 while Australia&#8217;s <strong>Mitch Larkin\u00a0<\/strong>won the bronze medal at 52.77. Larkin returns to the podium for the first time since winning gold in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>USA&#8217;s Murphy went out fastest at 25.05 and was under his world record pace. He was leading for about 75 meters before he tightened up over the final 25 and finished in fourth, .01 off the podium at 52.78. Grevers finished in fifth at 52.82. This is the first time the men&#8217;s 100 back podium won&#8217;t feature an American since 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Murphy indicated before the meet that his focus was not on peaking at the World Championships, but instead defending his Olympic titles next year in Tokyo. Still, it was a surprise to see the veteran struggle down the stretch and watch others cruise by. Murphy covered the last lap in 27.73, sixth-fastest in the field and more than a half-second slower than the coming-home speed of Xu.<\/p>\n<p>Japan&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Ryosuke Irie<\/strong>, competing in his sixth straight World Championships final in the 100 back, placed sixth at 53.22.
