James Guy held off British teammate Duncan Scott for the win in the men’s 200 free, clocking a time of 1:47.11. That time improves his 4th ranked time in the world of 1:47.34, though doesn’t move him up any spots. Scott put up a 1:47.29 to move from 9th to 5th in the world.
Stephen Milne made it a British sweep claiming 3rd in 1:48.31. Recent Texas commit Drew Kibler picked up 4th in 1:49.47, and Japan’s Reo Sakata took 5th in 1:49.52. Another Brit, Timothy Shuttleworth, won the B-final in 1:50.03.
Duncan Scott is the real BG surprise for me since RIO . What a talent from 50 to 200 meters .
