It was his second gold medal of the meet following the 200 title on Saturday and meant he left the Aquatics Palace with three after also taking silver over 100m.<\/p>\n
Shymanovich then went on to split 24.72 as Belarus came fifth in the mixed 4×50 medley relay.<\/p>\n
Emre Sakci<\/strong> was second in 25.39 and Martinenghi third in 25.54.<\/p>\n
Shymanovich said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is incredible, I wanted to improve my personal best and I kind of did it.<\/p>\n
“I think everything went well, I didn\u2019t commit any mistake. All what I could do, I did, so I\u2019m really happy now.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Van der Burgh retired in 2018 following a career that encompassed an Olympic 100br title and world record at London 2012 and silver four years later in Rio.<\/p>\n
The South African also claimed four world short-course titles and he posted to social media following Shymanovich’s record-equalling time.<\/p>\n
