New world record for Le Clos

Chad le Clos has made a stunning start to his FINA World Cup campaign.

Le Clos set a new 200-metres butterfly short-course world record in the Netherlands last night.

Roland Schoeman also won in Eindhoven. Schoeman ended first in the 50-metres breaststroke.

Schoeman was second in the 50-metres butterfly.

Le Clos settled for third in the same race.

It was also a good night for Myles Brown. The former Kearsney College learner secured second spot in the 400-metres freestyle.

Brown set a new African record in the process.

Ryk Neethling clocked the previous record back in 2004.
