Mehdy Metella fired off his 2nd 51-point 100m fly of just this week, taking the top seed in 51.53. He was already 51.44 on June 18th at the French Open, so the 2018 European Championships silver medalist is on-fire in the event as of late.
But, South African Chad Le Clos is lurking as the 2nd seed in 52.14, while Israeli swimmer Tomer Frankel already logged a new National Record with his 3rd-seeded 52.16. Hungarian teen Kristof Milakalso made the final in 52.51, as did Japanese ace Daiya Seto in 52.61.
Le Clos is a generational swimmer, one of the best, but it will take a lot for him to be on top of the 100 or 200 fly again.
I feel like a lot of people forget he has been 50.5/1:52.9 in the 100/200 fly
We forget because he hasn’t achieved those times in 4 and 7 years.
Challenging to peek at multiple lanes at once eh?
Le Clos is as old as Phelps was in 2012. Time flies.
Yeah, these young guns are next level.
they are scary good ….Chad knows it ….
