Kristof Milak of Hungary has romped to a dominating victory in the men's 200-metre butterfly at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre.
Milak won the the gold by about two body lengths, backing up his status as one of the biggest favorites at the Olympic pool. He touched in 1 minute, 51.25 seconds -- some 2 1/2 seconds ahead of the silver medalist, Japan's Tomoru Honda, who finished in 1:53.73.South African star Chad le Clos finished fifth. He won the 200 fly at the 2012 London Olympics, upsetting Michael Phelps, but was no match for the Hungarian star.
Meanwhile, Caeleb Dressel breezed through the semi-finals of the 100 free, his first of three individual events. The American star posted the second-fastest time , just behind Russia's Kliment Kolesnikov .He shook off the view that he's a lock for the gold. "I've never been a fan of favorites," Dressel said. "It's going to be a really fun race. Really looking forward to it. I mean, there's quite honestly eight guys in contention, so it's going to be exciting for everyone to watch. You guys should be jealous I get to take part in it."
