Guy storms to World Cup double gold in Moscow

5 Sep 2016

Double Olympic medallist James Guy claimed double gold at the FINA World Cup in Moscow. 

Guy, who was part of both Team GB relay silvers in Rio, finished over two seconds clear of Australia’s Bobby Hurley to win the 400m freestyle in 3:40.70. And then he beat Hurley again to win the 200m freestyle, though his time of 1:43.77 was slower than the new 1:42.22 British record he set a few days earlier at the World Cup in Berlin.

Elsewhere, Adam Barrett claimed a silver behind Vladimir Morozov in the 100m freestyle and Chad le Clos in the 100m butterfly. And Olympic finalist Hannah Miley ranked fourth in both the 200m and 400m medley and 400m freestyle.
