One week after Shymanovich of Belarus and Energy Standard swam a 55.32 to break his own world record in the men\u2019s 100 breast by two hundredths, he did it again during the fifth playoff match<\/a>. Here, Shymanovich went out in 25.85, just off his opening-half pace of 25.77 from last week, but then he closed in 29.43 to touch in 55.28 for the new record. Shymanovich out-split the entire heat by more than a second on the second 50.<\/p>\n

Shymanovich won by more than two seconds as Energy teammate\u00a0Felipe Lima\u00a0<\/strong>touched in 57.34. That barely got Lima inside the 2.1-second jackpot margin, but Shymanovich jackpotted the other six swimmers in the field, including third-place finisher\u00a0Tommy Cope<\/strong>\u00a0of DC Trident (57.57). Shymanovich scored 30 points on his own, and Lima scored seven \u2014 so Energy Standard scored 37 points here while no other team scored a single point. That is the exact same outcome as what transpired in Thursday\u2019s 50 breast.<\/p>\n
