TENERO,
Switzerland, June 15. THE World Military Games came to a close with a strong
night of sprinting, including a top-10 time from France's Melanie Henique in
the women's 50-meter fly.
France's Melanie Henique cracked the top 10 in the SwimVortex world rankings in the women's 50-meter fly with a meet-record effort. Henique sprinted her way to a 26.18 for the win, moving her to ninth in the world as she bettered her 11th-ranked season best of 26.24 from French Nationals. The time also blasted Henique's preliminary meet record of 26.50. China's Liu Lan took second in 26.87, while Poland's Anna Dowgiert earned third in 27.01.
Brazil's Nicholas Dos Santos raced his way to victory in the men's 50-meter fly with a 23.59. That performance fell just a bit short of his seventh-ranked season best of 23.23 from the Maria Lenk Trophy meet, but was more than enough to win the crown tonight. Russia's Nikolay Skvortsov finished second in 24.19, while Ukraine's Oleksii Ivanov tracked down third in 24.39.
