Bruno Fratus of Brazil got his hand on the wall to win the 50 freestyle gold medal with his time of 21.44. That will stand as the new meet record. Anthony Ervin and Nathan Adrian finished second and third for the United States with silver and bronze medals. Ervin finished at 21.73 and Adrian was 21.80. Both Ervin and Adrian will represent the United States in this event next summer at the world championships.
Cameron McEvoy of Australia was fourth with his time of 22.07 and Shinri Shioura of Japan was fifth at 22.11.

I have even more respect for Anthony Ervin now.
he is honest. he knows 21.7 wont cut it for a medal in either the worlds or the olympics.
Always the coolest swimmer out there
