The Czech Republic’s Tomas Ludvik finished a little less than half a second later in 1:59.43 for fifth place, while Great Britain’s Brodie Williams claimed sixth place with his time of 1:59.68.
Conor Ferguson came charging home with a quick last 50 to place seventh in 1:59.86 over Great Britain’s Elliot Clogg, who touched in 2:00.41 for eighth place in the final heat.
