Men’s 200 butterfly – Tokyo FINA World Cup – reported by SwimSwam / Jeff Grace:
Chad le Clos set the bar pretty high only a few days ago in Singapore where he set a new world record in the 200 butterfly posting a time of 1:48.56, he was not able to match that feat today, winning the event in a time of 1:50.33. It was le Clos’s second win of the evening taking the 400 IM early in the evening.
After leading for much of the race Kousuke Hagino touched the wall in second recording a time of 1:51.02. His Japanese teammate Takeshi Matsuda finished third in a time of 1:51.55.
