As reported by SwimSwam Contributor Robert Gibbs:
MEN’S 100 BREAST FINAL
Another tight race here, but Kazakstan’s Dmitry Balandin used a strong second half to win the gold in 59.96, the 9th-fastest time in the world this year. The Brits swept the minor medals with James Wilby jumping up to 1:00.28 for the silver and Craig Benson taking the bronze in 1:00.33, just off his top-seeded semifinals time.
American DJ MacDonald came into the final as the eighth seed, but finished fourth in 1:00.51, a new personal best for him. Japan’s Kazuki Kohinata placed fifth with a 1:00.75, followed by Russia’s Oleg Kostin (1:00.85) and Australia’s Nicholas Schafer (1:00.90). Caba Siladi of Serbia was first at the wall, but faded to finish in eighth with a time 1:01.01.
Love the Terminator thumb up celebration in the end 🙂
If he gets it right, he is could become much more than just a darkhorse
Good time and win for Balandin . Hope to see him swim well at WCs and fight with Gyurta , Koch , and others for the 200 Br title !
At 2014 Asian Games he swam 59.92.
And the same week he swam 2.07.67 in the 200 breast.
A sub 2.08 looks again possible.
