Men’s 100 freestyle – Beijing FINA World Cup – reported by SwimSwam / Jeff Grace:
There was no surprise that Russian Vlad Morozov hit the wall first in the men’s 100 freestyle, dominating the sprint freestyle events in the 2013 series, he took the event at the final stop in a time of 45.88. It was a surprise though to see World Cup point leader Chad le Clos of South Africa be the second athlete to put his hand on the wall finishing in a time of 46.60.
le Clos’s lifetime best in the the 100 freestyle short course was recorded in 2011 when he posted a 47.39, he put up his best long course time earlier this year swimming a 47.39.
Australian Tommaso D’Orsogna finished third in a time of 46.85.
