Le Clos is now the proud owner of nine gold, two silver and one bronze medal in the Swimming World Cup series 2016 at the end of Cluster 1 (Paris, Berlin, Moscow).
Le Clos scooped his third gold this weekend in the 100m butterfly in a time of 49.01. He also bagged silver in the 50m freestyle in a time of 21.05, just behind Vladimir Morozov of Russia’s 20.98.
Although Le Clos won the Moscow competition, Morozov was awarded $50 000 on Sunday as overall male winner of Cluster 1
Morozov said his ambition is to win the overall ranking of the World Cup. He was runner-up to Le Clos in 2013. “Now I’m in the lead with some advantage,” he said. “But Chad has a great potential. He is able to beat his fly records.”
