Hosszu and Le Clos repeat as FINA World Cup Champions for 2014

Katinka Hosszu and Chad le Clos completed what’s seemed inevitable for most of this year’s World Cup tour: repeating as World Cup points champions.

There wasn’t much drama at the top of the points over the second half of the tour, as Hosszu and Le Clos powered away with big leads early on. They capped off their repeat Cup titles with momentum, though, each putting up the highest totals in their respective genders over the final cluster.

Hosszu finishes with 994 points, nearly triple what runner-up Inge Dekker had. Le Clos, meanwhile, put up 474 to top Daniel Gyurta by 130.

The winners will earn $100,000 each for winning the tour, with second place in each gender taking $50,000 and third place $30,000.

Despite not swimming any of the final three meets in the series, American Tom Shields still stuck in the top 3 in series points. Just behind him was Australia’s Thomas Fraser-Holmes, who only swam one meet in the final cluster.

Alia Atkinson and Mireia Belmonte both got hot towards the end of the World Cup circuit, and rode surges of momentum to ultimately tie for third. Atkinson will officially win the tie-breaker, as she had the highest finish in any of the cluster after taking second overall in the third cluster with 162 points.

Helping Atkinson with that big surge was her 24-point bonus for putting up the top overall swim of the Singapore meet. That broke Hosszu’s streak of earning the top performance bonus at all 6 previous World Cup meets. Hosszu, who really seemed to wear down as the series went on, still earned the third bonus.

For the men, le Clos was once again the top performer, and the Gyurta brothers swept the next two point bonuses.

Here’s a quick look at the performance bonuses from Singapore:

Singapore Top Performances

Men

  1. Chad le Clos, 200 fly: 1:48.88 (991 FINA points)
  2. Daniel Gyurta, 200 breast: 2:02.30 (960 FINA points)
  3. Gergely Gyurta, 1500 free: 14:28.35 (938 FINA points)

Women

  1. Alia Atkinson, 100 breast: 1:02.54 (991 FINA points)
  2. Mireia Belmonte, 400 IM: 4:22.68 (979 FINA points)
  3. Katinka Hosszu, 400 IM: 4:23.66 (968 FINA points)

The Singapore World Cup not only capped off the entire World Cup circuit, it also closed the third cluster of the series, which carries its own cash bonuses. The top 6 finishers in each cluster earn bonuses starting at $50,000. Below are the bonus winners from the cluster. Athletes have to compete in all the meets within the cluster to earn bonuses, and that leaves Fran Halsall (66 points, didn’t swim in Beijing), Emma McKeon (48 points, didn’t swim Beijing), Madison Wilson (39 points, didn’t swim Singapore) and Sally Hunter (39 points, didn’t swim Singapore) off our list.
