Ryosuke Irie! One of the poster boy in my 2008 blog was there (memory refreshed) as well as Arkady Vyatchanin and Yankov Toumarkin (mat him at YOG). Ryosuke "won", for as far as I know, faster than Lochte back in 2008. Here were the results then:
Gold: Ryan Lochte (Usa) world record
Silver: Aaron Piersol (Usa)
Bronze: Arkady Vyatchanin (Rus)
However his suit wasn't approved. And although he's 1:08s faster than Lochte, he was disqualified and stripped off his gold! Yikes. So here are the semifinalists:
1. Matthew Grevers (Usa) (he was just a heats-boy for Usa relay team back in 08!)
2. Cheng Feiyi (Chn)
3. Nick Thoman (Usa)
4. Camile Lacourt (Fra)
5. Ryosuke Irie (Jpn)
6. Nick Driebergen (Ned)
7. Helge Meeuw (Ger)
8. Liam Tancock (Gbr)
9. Hayden Stoecel (Aus)
10. Vladimir Morozov (Rus)
10. Arkady Vyatchanin (Rus)
12. Jan-Phillip Glania (Ger)
13. Charles Francis (Can)
14. Gareth Kean (Nzl)
15. Daniel Arnamnart (Aus)
16. Aschwim Wilderboer Faber (Esp)
