Andrei Minakov set a world 50 fly junior record<\/a> of 22.34 over short-course metres at the Russian Championships<\/strong> last Friday but he found himself settling for silver despite leading the heats in 22.62.<\/p>\n
Instead it was Grigori Pekarsky<\/strong> of Belarus who got his hand to the wall first in the final, stopping the clock at 22.37, a new national record and meet mark.<\/p>\n
Minakov was second in 22.54.<\/p>\n
Ivan Girev<\/strong> won the 100 free in a PB of 46.72 ahead of Vladislav Grinev<\/strong> who stopped the clock at 46.81 while\u00a0Martin Malyutin<\/strong> won the men’s 400fr in 3:39.31 – the only sub-3:40 in the field.<\/p>\n
