The men finished in 6th and 7th places in this event, the secondary fly race to their main focus of the 200m. Well off the podium tonight were Seto and Milak, who touched in respective times of 52.37 and 52.50. Of note, however, Mizunuma was under 52 seconds in this morningвЂ™s prelims, producing a tie of 51.77 to take the top seed. Tonight, Mizunuma clocked 52.09 for silver, while Yuuya Tanaka earned bronze in 52.16. For an individual swim, heвЂ™d need at least 51.47, so he was. There, Mizunuma clocked a big-time swim of 51.43 to land himself on the Gwangju roster for the menвЂ™s medley relay. Given that Schooling has already qualified for the World Championships, this is most likely an вЂin-seasonвЂ™ meet for the 23-year-old Olympian.Д«ehind Schooling this evening was the home countryвЂ™s Naoki Mizunuma, the man who won this event at AprilвЂ™s Japan Swim. Although that mark beat out his 52.70 that won gold at the Singapore National Age Group Championships in March, it falls well outside his 51.04 mark that won gold at the 2018 Asian Games. Tonight, Schooling beat out the field in the 100 fly sprint, landing on top of the podium in a time of 52.00.

The former Longhorn has said in the past that heвЂ™s essentially done with the event, so his scratch wasnвЂ™t really a surprise. Singaporean Olympic champion in the event, Joseph Schooling, already won silver in the 50m fly here at the 2019 Japan Open in Tokyo and wound up scratching the 200m fly. Whereas yesterdayвЂ™s 200m fly battle between Japanese maestro Daiya Seto and Hungarian powerhouse Kristof Milak was indeed intense, tonightвЂ™s 100m fly showdown was a little less spectacular.
