At the finish was ahead 0.02 of Ranomi turned into a deficit of 0.09 and so it was Inge who claimed the title for himself.

Nick Driebergen knew his performance yesterday in the relay not to repeat the individual 50m backstroke. He placed this morning still for the semifinals this afternoon, but he remained with 24.07 it far away from the finals. In order to rally in the top 10 and so again tomorrow at the start to appear was 23.69 required.

After a 7th time at 50m knew he was in the 2nd 50m still to work until 4, but instead he came 0.09 deficit for the bronze. In his time he was just 0.02 above his own Dutch record of the semi-finals yesterday. Evgeny Korotyshkin from Russia took the title in 48.93, a new championship record, but still a half seconds off his own world record of 48.48.
