While some people are using the World Cup as a tuneup, he is here to race and he wants to win &#8211; every single time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat fire has always been there, I am just trying to channel it in the right way. I really swam emotional because of circumstances. I was too tense. I was desperate to win. But I have swim with finesse and control. You want to swim with emotion, but controlled emotion.\u00a0This is how I like to win \u2026 dog-fights. I like the fight in a race,\u201d Chad le Clos said. \u201cI just wanted to get that one back (after Julian won in Toronto).\u00a0Being next to someone like that makes it a bit of a scrap.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At age 30, scrapping is what motivates him on a daily basis, especially with the younger wave of talent coming in, like in this World Cup \u2014\u00a0where le Clos finished third in the overall standings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have my mindset back. I am in control of the way I am swimming. I have to remind people that I finish hard \u2026 and educate the youth &#8211; respectfully of course,\u201d le Clos said. \u201cI am delighted with the win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He won the race in 1:49.89, ahead of Julian (1:50.08) thanks to a closing 28.30, nearly a second faster than Julian.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to really scrap to make the finals with this field. It is teaching me at 30 years old to take the mornings out a little harder,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was really hard in the morning. I was nervous because I saw the heats go so fast. But it was an educational day for me because I had to work the morning hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That will be a key for him at the 2022 Short Course World Championships in Melbourne later this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will be in the best shape and the best form (at worlds).\u00a0It is really good to be put in those circumstances before the world championships,\u201d Chad le Clos said.\u201dI am still three seconds behind Honda, but I look forward to the scrap at the end of the year, whoever is there. I come to race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINA World Cup Men\u2019s Final <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fina.org\/competitions\/2958\/fina-swimming-world-cup-2022\/rankings?scoringId=4feeb3ee-c0e2-4366-9335-753f4aced869\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Top<\/a> 10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/dylan-carter-reflects-on-world-cup-overall-title-people-thought-i-was-never-going-to-break-through\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dylan Carter<\/a>, Trinidad and Tobago, 172.6<br \/>\n2 Nic Fink, USA, 172.3<br \/>\n3 Chad le Clos, South Africa, 166.3<br \/>\n4 Shaine Casas, USA, 164.9<br \/>\n5 Matthew Sates, South Africa, 154.1<br \/>\n6 Kyle Chalmers, Australia, 152.1<br \/>\n7 Thomas Ceccon, Italy, 144.8<br \/>\n8 Danas Rapsys, Lithuania, 137.1<br \/>\n9 Kiran Smith, USA, 134.1<br \/>\n10 Javier Acevedo, Canada, 133.9<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chad le Clos was upset when he lost the 200 butterfly at the 2022 FINA World Cup stop in Toronto.
