One day after finishing fourth in the 100-meter breaststroke, the double-Olympic medalist returned for the final of the 200 breaststroke, but it was American <strong>Nic Fink<\/strong> who snared the gold medal and maintained the momentum he built toward the end of the International Swimming League season. Kamminga earned a podium place this time around, as he finished just behind the American.<\/p>\n<p>Fink was joined as a champion by Italian <strong>Matteo Rivolta<\/strong>, who trusted his early speed to build a sizable edge and roared to the gold medal in the 100 butterfly. That victory snapped a run of four consecutive titles in the event by South African <strong>Chad Le Clos<\/strong>.

Fink touched the wall in 2:02.28 to clip the Netherlands&#8217; <strong>Arno Kamminga<\/strong>, who was timed in 2:02.42. The bronze medal went to American <strong>Will Licon<\/strong>, who covered the race in 2:02.84.<\/p>\n<p>Fink surged to the lead at the 50- and 100-meter marks, but at the 150-meter checkpoint, the American was out of the medals as Licon took the lead. However, Fink responded with a closing split of 30.84 (the only sub-31 on the last 50) and overhauled Kamminga. A double-Olympic silver medalist, Kamminga again claimed runnerup accolades as he pulled ahead of Licon in the closing meters.
