Tokyo2020: Singapore's Joseph Schooling came in last among eight swimmers in the 100m butterfly heats a while ago with a timing of 53.12s, thus ending his reign as Olympic champion. READ:

TOKYO — Joseph Schooling will not be able to defend his Olympic gold in the men's 100m butterfly final at the Tokyo Olympics, after he was sensationally knocked out in the heats at the Tokyo Aquatic Centre on Thursday .

The result placed him eighth out of eight swimmers in the heats, and 44th out of 55 participating swimmers. With only the top 16 swimmers progressing into the semi-finals, Schooling thus ended his reign as the Olympic men's 100m fly champion. "It's hard to swallow, it's hard to digest, but at the same time... you live to fight another day," he said. "And I sure as hell don't want to end like this, it's just one of those meets.""A best time, anything under my record would have been great. But we are definitely way off that," he said.
