Vladimir Morozov of Russia continued to gear up at the third FINA Swimming World Cup leg in Singapore from August 15-17 as he smashed three World Cup records (WC) in the 50m / 100m free and the 50m back.

In the freestyle events, Morozov clocked times of 21.27 in the sprint and 47.88 in the 100m, while he also finished in 24.40 in the 50m back.
 
Lithuania's Danas Rapsys also set a new WC record in the 200m free as he touched home in 1:44.38. In addition, he won the 400m free race in 3:45.59.

SINGAPORE – Two World Cup records fell on the third and final day of the Singapore Swimming World Cup.

First, in the morning preliminaries, Katinka Hosszu of Hungary broke her own World Cup record in the 200m medley, lowering the mark to 2:08.15 (which was 46 hundredths of a second faster than her previous record set in 2015). The points she claimed for the effort, she said, were crucial to earning the $50,000 (US) awarded at the end of the night to the female winner of “Cluster 1” of the World Cup circuit.

SINGAPORE – Although Day 2 of the Singapore Swimming World Cup was supposed to mark Joseph Schooling’s homecoming, it was Vladimir Morozov who stole the show.

The 27-year-old Russian lowered two of his own World Cup records (in the 50m backstroke and 100m freestyle) to remain undefeated in those events on the 2019 circuit.  He did the same thing on Thursday in the 50m freestyle, which means he will leave Singapore with three World Cup records and a total of nine victories in nine races on tour.
