Men’s 50 butterfly – Dubai FINA WORLD CUP – as reported by SwimSwam contributor Jeff Grace
Just as he did in Moscow Roland Schoeman kept his fellow countryman Chad le Clos from finishing in the top spot in the 50 butterfly, but this time by the narrowest of margins. Schoeman took the event in a time of 22.27 one one-hundredths of a second ahead of le Clos who finished second in a time of 22.28.
American Tom Shields collected his second medal of the evening finishing third in a time of 23.02.

haha that official got a face full of water from Le Clos #finaofficialproblems
I’m in tears from laughing so hard at the pic of Roland. Ridiculous.
The crowd (if you can call it that) looks pitifully small for the caliber of swimming. Thanks, swimswam, though, for bringing results and video highlights since Non-Universal sports doesn’t serve my neck of the woods (e.g.,the 3M Cox Cable subscribers).
