Asian Games: Schooling lands silver in 50m fly
Joseph Schooling completed a hat-trick of medals at the Incheon Asian Games men's butterfly events by winning silver in the 50m.
The national swimmer clocked 23.70sec, losing out on the gold to China's Shi Yang who set a new Asiad record with a 23.46 finish.
South Korea's Yang Jun Doo took the remaining podium place with a 23.79 swim.
Schooling's time was 0.27 slower than his national record of 23.43 at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in July.
It has been a breakthrough Games for the 19-year-old Singaporean swim star, who ended Singapore's 24-year men's swimming medal drought at the Asian Games by clinching the bronze medal in the 200m fly on Sunday.
He then went on to end the Republic's 32-year wait for a gold medal on Wednesday by winning the 100m fly.
