Singapore’s star swimmer Joseph Schooling warmed up for his Olympic 100m butterfly title defence with a 49.84sec effort in the 100m freestyle heats at the Tokyo Aquatic Centre on Tuesday .
Schooling, who had set the national 100m free record of 48.27 at the Rio Olympics in 2016, finished 39th out of 70 swimmers overall on Tuesday and did not advance to the semi-finals. " not very good, especially the last 15m, I think the legs kind of gave out. But like I said, it's the first one and I've been training fly the whole year, so this one was kind of a get up and see where we are."
