Ben Proud won silver in the 50m freestyle, finishing behind Olympic champion Cameron McEvoy at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore.<\/b><\/p>\n
Proud bettered his time of 21.61 seconds that he put up in the semi-finals, touching second with a time of 21.26secs but it wasn’t enough to upset Australian McEvoy. <\/p>\n
It was a repeat of the Paris Olympics performance with the two again finishing first and second in an impressive field.<\/p>\n
“I feel fantastic,” said Proud after securing his 10th consecutive major championships medal in the event.<\/p>\n
“There’s been many swims where I’ve come on the podium at a world champs and I’ve not been satisfied with myself.<\/p>\n
“Whereas I really feel like I had to earn my way through the rounds and I think I put in a race (in the final) that there’s not really much I could have improved on.”<\/p>\n
Proud’s silver was Great Britain’s second medal of the championships following on from Friday’s gold in the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay.<\/p>\n
US sprinter Jack Alexy completed the podium with a third-placed finish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
