Men’s 50m butterfly final.

Australian veteran and Olympic medallist, Geoff Huegill produced a thrilling swim against his rivals, Evgeny Korotyshkin of Russia and Milorad Cavic of Serbia at the 2011 FINA World Cup series in Moscow, Russia, on Tuesday, October 18.

The men’s 50m fly was something of an upset. While the audience waited for the duel between the world short course champion Eugeny Korotyshkin and vice-champion of Beijing Olympics Milorad Cavic (both swim together in the same group in Italy) the first place went to Geoff Huegill (AUS, 22.96).

The breathtaking swimming effort of Geoff Huegill impressed Moscow’s arena, while the top three players of the respective race were awarded medals and cash prizes after the session’s completion. The next round of the seven stop 2011 FINA World Cup is scheduled to take place in Berlin, Germany, from October 22-23.

Meanwhile, Evgeny Korotyshkin of Russia picked silver medal by touching the finishing wall in a time of 23.26 seconds. He won gold medal in 100m butterfly meet at the 2010 World Championships edition, in Dubai. Milorad Cavic of Serbia took home the bronze medal after he touched the finishing wall and posted a unique time of 23.28 seconds. Cavic picked silver medal in 100m butterfly meet at the 2008 Olympic Games, in Beijing. In addition, he won gold medal in 50m butterfly race at the 2009 World Championships edition, in Rome.

The fourth place went to Tyler Mcgill of United States of America with a time of 23.36 seconds, whereas, Tiago Venancio of Portugal picked fifth spot in a time of 23.74 seconds. Moreover, Alexander Padalets of Russia earned sixth place honours by posting a mark of 23.97 seconds. Evgeniy Lazuka finished seventh with a time of 24.16 seconds, while Nikita Prokofyev of Russia earned eighth position after she touched the finishing wall and ended her swim in a time of 24.21 seconds.

The Australian swim team won five gold medals on the opening day of the FINA World Cup meet in Stockholm including a brace to Kenneth To in the 100m backstroke and Individual Medley.

Other gold medals went to Geoff Huegill, Rachel Goh and Belinda Hocking.

With just eight athletes representing Australia at the two-day meet, the small team opened with nine medals.

To, a 19-year-old from NSWIS, took out the 100m backstroke by more than a second in 52.07sec, before backing up for the 100m IM in a personal best time of 3min 52.02sec.

Commonwealth Games gold medallist Huegill won the 50m fly in 22.70s from Tyler McGill of the US in 23.58.

Huegill’s time was just 0.20 of a second outside his personal best for the event which he swam in a now banned polyurethane suit in 2009 which makes his time all that more stunning an accomplishment!

Melbourne’s Rachel Goh won the 50m backstroke in 26.63s from teammate Belinda Hocking (27.08).

Hocking then went on to show her dominance in the 200m backstroke, winning by more than two seconds in a time of 2:05.76.

In the women’s freestyle, AIS-based Angie Bainbridge from Newcastle picked up two silver medals in the 50 and 200m respectively with personal best swims.

Geoff is competing against many of the world’s very best most elite swimmers during meets in Stockholm, Moscow and Berlin before returning to Australia.

The short course races are the last international hit for Geoff before various Australian State championships leading to the Australian National Championships/Oylmpic Trials in Adelaide, March 2012.

The first leg of the FINA/ARENA Swimming World Cup was highlighted by the superb performances of South African Chad Le Clos (aged 19) winner of six events (100m, 200m and 400m individual medley, 100m and 200m butterfly and 200m backstroke). By doing so, Le Clos put his country ahead of the medal table, while China and Japan (five gold each) followed the African nation!

After winning three races on the first day, no one expected Le Clos to shine in the 100m butterfly at this level, especially at this stage of the season. Le Clos managed to beat his personal best in 50.66, performing also the best world time of the season.
