CHAD LE CLOS FINISHES MOSCOW MEET AS BEST MALE SWIMMER

 

 

Le Clos won his third gold with the 100-m butterfly in a time of 49.01; and silver in the 50-m freestyle in a time of 21.05, just behind Vladimir Morozov of Russiaˇ¦s 20.98.

 

South Africaˇ¦s Chad le Clos and Russiaˇ¦s Yulia Efimova were honoured on 4 September as the best swimmers of the FINA Moscow meet, with Le Clos now in possession of nine gold, two silver and one bronze in the Swimming World Cup series 2016 at the end of Cluster 1 (Paris, Berlin, Moscow).

Although Le Clos won the Moscow competition, Morozov was awarded US$50,000 as overall male winner of Cluster 1.

He was runner-up to Le Clos in 2013. ˇ§Now Iˇ¦m in the lead with some advantage,ˇ¨ he said. ˇ§But Chad has a great potential. He is able to beat his fly records.ˇ¨

South Africaˇ¦s Cameron van der Burgh scooped his eighth gold medal for Cluster 1, winning the menˇ¦s 100-m breaststroke event in 56.64.

Itˇ¦s been an awesome effort by Van der Burgh and Le Clos, dominating the first three legs of the Final World Cup Series ˇK with 18 golds between them! ˇV Source: www.sapeople.com
