Sebasztián Szabó finished third in the 50-meter butterfly at the World Short Course Swimming Championships.
Sebasztián Szabó is the bronze medalist in the 50-meter butterfly at the World Short Track Championships
The 26-year-old Hungarian competitor, who holds the world record in this figure (21.75) with the Brazilian Nicholas Santos, reached the final with the best time, where, just as in the semi-finals, he performed brilliantly. Start this time.
Győrs’ lead was first over the half distance with 9.91 seconds, but in the heat, he was also preceded by South American and Swiss legend Noé Ponti, and was last by just two hundredths.
The 42-year-old Santos – who was only 14th in qualifying – won the record for the fourth time, and was already the oldest ever world champion in Abu Dhabi last year, and in his final race he was only three centuries short of the world record set. His contract is with Szabo.
Szabó is the ninth Hungarian swimmer to win a medal in the history of the World Short Course Championships.
