The United States’ Shaine Casas pulled off the upset win in the men’s 100 back, touching first in 49.23 two tenths ahead of Russian star Kliment Kolesnikov. Casas was out the fastest in the field, flipping in 23.29 to Kolesnikov’s 23.53 and was able to hold on for the gold.
Shaine Casas’ dad’s death, when he was a little kid, in the line of duty is both sad and ironic.

Wonder where all those commenters from a few months ago are that said he shouldn’t turn pro, because he hadn’t done anything?
He’s proven that he can handle the pressure and compete on the world stage.
Great job Shaine!!! You are a world champion. Keep looking up. Your future is bright.

Casas is no longer overrated, he proved that he is relevant in the international scene. Congrats
Next year is where it counts where the other top swimmers like rylov and Murphy will be there. Might’ve beaten kk but he didn’t look on top
Did Shaine Casas compete as a professional swimmer at World Championships? Doesn’t that matter for winning prize money?
Just too much yikes surrounding this dude.
