    A stacked field in the Men’s 400m Freestyle on day 1 of the FINA Swimming World Cup 2019 in Berlin where we looked forward to another dust-up between home-favorite Florian Wellbrock, an on-fire Danas Rapsys of Lithuania and Hungarian young gun, Kristof Milak!

    The 50m races on day 1 of the FINA Swimming World Cup 2019 in Berlin provided some exciting finishes, with Sweden’s Michelle Coleman edging out the big hitters in the Netherlands’ Ranomi Kromowidjojo and Australia’s Cate Campbell in the freestyle.

    Russian favourite Vladimir Morozov didn’t disappoint in the men’s 50m Freestyle on day 1 of the FINA Swimming World Cup 2019 in Berlin, clocking 21.55 to go close to his World Cup record of 21.27 he set in Singapore in August.

    It was just another day at the office in the Berlin leg of the FINA Swimming World Cup 2019 for Hungarian butterflier Kristof Milak, who both took home gold in the men’s 100m.

    Conor Dwyer, a two-time Olympic swimming relay champion, announced retirement after being banned through the Tokyo Olympics for having testosterone pellets surgically implanted into his body and failing three drug tests in late 2018.

    “This is an unfortunate end to an incredible chapter of my life,” was posted on Dwyer’s social media. “I believe that things happen for a reason, and I can’t wait to share with you all the next chapter of my life.”

    Dwyer said in a press release that he “made an honest but unfortunate mistake” with the pellets, saying a doctor assured him they were legal.

    An independent panel banned him 20 months, retroactive to Dec. 21, according to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
