Excerpt taken from Day Five Finals Recap, as reported by SwimSwam contributor Robert Gibbs:
MEN’S 100 FREE – FINAL
Brazil’s Henrique Martins picked up his second gold of the meet, just touching out the top seed, Jack Conger of the United States, 48.98 to 49.02. Conger was first at the wall, with Martins over a half second behind, but Martins caught up to Conger in the final 25m. That’s a personal best for both swimmers.
The race for bronze was also decided by the same .04 margin, with Italy’s Marco Belotti taking the medal over American Seth Stubblefield, 49.43 to 49.47.
Kemal Gurdal of Turkey was the only other swimmer under 50.0, touching fifth with a time of 49.86. Toro Maruyama of Japan (50.00), Daniel Hunter of New Zealand (50.05), and Oleg Tikhobev of Russia (50.17) took the last three places.
Killer dolphin kick! Anyone else see the next Ian Crocker in the making? Wasn’t Ian 49.0 at his age as well?
That’s too bad. I’m sure Conger wanted to put up a better time than that would have liked to win the race as well. Hopefully he’ll be better next month.
