Japan’s Ippei Watanabe jumped to an early lead in heat one of the men’s 200 breaststroke semi-finals, not letting up until his hands touched the wall in Olympic Record fashion. Watanabe touched the wall in a 2:07.22 to take down the existing record of 2:07.28 set in 2012 by Hungary’s Daniel Gyurta.

Great Britain’s Andrew Willis and the USA’s Kevin Cordes battled the World Record line and each other throughout heat two but at the end it was Willis who got his hand to the wall first. Willis stopped the clock at  a 2:07.73 ahead of Cordes’ 2:07.99 (good for fifth).

Josh Prenot of the USA picked up the third place seed with a time of 2:07.78, just ahead of Japan’s Yasuhiro Koseki’s 2:07.91.
