Joseph Schooling in shock exit at World Championships, failing to make semi-finals of his pet event.
The 24-year-old clocked 52.93 seconds in the morning heats, finishing only in eighth place in the seventh race of the heats. The timing is some way off his 2016 Olympic gold-winning time of 50.37sec in the same event in Rio de Janeiro.
“It’s a reality check coming home. All I can do is to go back and fix the things I could have done and do better. I will come back a new swimmer. I have got a lot of work to do going into next year. This is something I had to go through and it’s better that this happened this year than next year. Schooling had won a joint-bronze in the same event at the 2017 World Championships in Budapest with Briton James Guy, with a time of 50.83sec.
