MEN’S 50 FREE
- Shinri Shioura, 22.44
- Yuri Kisil, 22.46

Japan’s Shinri Shioura is 2-for-2 in the sprints after posting a 22.44 to touch out Canada’s Yuri Kisil (22.46) for 50 free gold. Team USA’s Michael Andrew, who swam a personal best in the B-final of the 400 IM, took 3rd in this event with a 22.65.
U.S. Olympians Matt Grevers (22.66) and Ryan Held (22.69) were just hundredths shy of a podium finish, taking 4th and 5th respectively.
Matt, keep switching it up! Remember Nationals 2014??? The 50 Fly you took? I don’t think it’s a lark. Go for some more of that, man!
Grevers is a beast, I beat him once, 10&u 200 free at JO’s
GREVERS! GREVERS! GREVERS! What a guy. I hope he crushes it this summer.
Glad to see him back and enjoying the sport, Grevers has always been one of my favorite swimmers, his charater is great.
