17-year-old Andrei Minakov broke the Russian record in the 100 fly for the second time in two days, shaving another 0.11s off the national record he set in yesterday’s semi-finals as won the silver medal in the final of the men’s 100 fly with a time of 50.83.

While he finished well over a second behind gold medalist Caeleb Dressel, Minakov secured silver by a fairly comfortable 0.33s margin over veteran Chad le Clos of South Africa.

SPLIT COMPARISON

Minakov split is swim fairly similarly to how he did in yesterday’s semi-final, going out just under a tenth of a second faster and bringing it home 0.03s faster.

Tonight’s swim moved Minakov up from 17th all-time to 13th all-time.
