Hungary’s Laszlo Cseh unleashed another world best during the men’s 200-meter fly semis at the 2015 FINA World Championships.
Cseh clocked a top time of 1:53.53 out of semis, bettering his world best of 1:53.71 from this morning.
Cseh is looking for his second world title ever. He won the 400-meter IM way back in 2005 and hasn’t been able to break through the Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte roadblock. Since 2005, he’s managed to tally 10 career world medals with a gold, four silvers and five bronzes.
South Africa’s Chad le Clos claimed the second seed in 1:54.50 as he had to win semifinal 1 from an outside lane after going easy during prelims. Le Clos is looking for his third world title overall.
Japan’s Masato Sakai (1:54.75), Denmark’s Viktor Bromer (1:54.82), Japan’s Daiya Seto (1:54.95), Poland’s Jan Switkowski (1:55.42), Belgium’s Louis Croenen (1:55.49) and USA’s Tom Shields (1:55.75) also made their way into the championship heat.

If hecwins — and, c’ min now, he’s got two chances, slimski and noneskiy– but if he were to best Le Clos there should STILL be an asterisk after his name saying: “the GOAT wasn’t there,”
