Australian Trials (Day 6): Cameron McEvoy Rockets To No 1 In The World With A Sizzling 21.27 to set pool alight in Melbourne<\/strong><\/p>\n

Triple Olympian Cameron McEvoy<\/strong> has today rocketed to number one in the world in the 50m freestyle with a sizzling heat swim of 21.27 to set the Melbourne Aquatic Centre alight on the final day of the World Trials.<\/p>\n

The recently turned 29-year-old, who has been training under coach Tim Lane<\/strong> at Brisbane\u2019s Somerville House school program, clocked a massive personal time that would have won him last year\u2019s World Championships in Budapest.<\/p>\n

A time that would also have won him silver behind American Caeleb Dressel<\/strong> (21.07) at the Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>\n

The fastest McEvoy has swum in seven years when he clocked 21.44 to win the 2016 Olympic Trials in Adelaide \u2013 the equal 11th<\/sup> fastest time in history alongside Brazil\u2019s Bruno Fratus <\/strong>and Russian Vladimir Morozov.<\/strong><\/p>\n
