World Record – Daiya Seto | 200m Butterfly | #FINAHangzhou2018

Two years ago, a crazy race entered in the history of the FINA World Swimming Championships (25m)! In the 200m Butterfly event at #FINAHangzhou2018, Chad Le Clos in Lane 1 was still the man to beat, while Daiya Seto and Zhuhao LI, Lane 4 and 5, had the best seed times. The pace was so high that in the first 100m, five swimmers were already swimming under World Record time, while in the final 50m Seto and Le Clos took the lead for a terrific final sprint that finally rewarded the Japanese with a World Record time of 1:48.24!
