    One person has died and more than a dozen left injured after a balcony collapsed in a South Korean nightclub.

    It’s understood the Australian women’s water polo team were inside the Coyote Ugly night club in Gwangju when the accident occurred.

    They escaped unharmed.

    Local news outlets are reporting at least 14 people were taken to hospital as a result of the collapse.

    Footage from the scene shows people screaming and others trying hold the ceiling up.

    Players from the New Zealand men and women’s water polo team were also in the venue at the time.

    “We were just dancing and then the next minute we dropped five to six metres and everyone started rushing out of the club after that,” men’s captain Matt Small told the NZ Herald.

    Well, if one considered Michael Phelps’s shiny World Record in the 200m fly untouchable, then what about Cesar Cielo’s blast from Rome 2009, 46.91 in a full-body rubber suit which was a premium aide for the sprinters?

    Yesterday, Phelps’ mark was gone, while today Caeleb Dressel rocketed to an amazing win in the 100m free at the FINA World Championships 2019 in Gwangju and almost chased down the WR, clocking 46.96 – just 0.05 shy of the all-time best effort.

    Matthew Wilson achieved a World Record at the FINA World Championships 2019 in Gwangju – though it was ‘just’ equalling one in the 200m breast semis. The Australian clocked the same time of Ippei Watanabe (JPN) from 2017, 2:06.67, but title-holder Anton Chupkov (RUS) was also close (0.16sec away) so a real showdown is due in the final on Friday.
