Van der Burgh raced to victory in the 50m Breastroke to claim his 51st World Cup, with a winning time of 25.88

“Would never have dreamed when I started I could get to that number! Blessed!” he tweeted Saturday evening.

Le Clos meanwhile claimed gold in both the Men’s 50m Butterfly and 200m Butterfly. In the latter Le Clos was just half a second off his own World Record of 1:48.56 – finishing in 1:49.10.

His 50m was one of the best races of the day, closing in on the World Record of 21.80 by finishing in 22.06.

Le Clos, together with Russia’s Vlad Morozov, currently leads the men’s points battle.
