National swimmer Dylan Carter completed his Meeting International de Nice-FFN Golden Tour Camille Muffat campaign with a fifth-place finish in the men’s 50 metre freestyle A final on Sunday.
The 25-year-old touched the wall in 22.95 seconds. He finished behind the eventual winner, 2012 Olympic men’s 50m free gold medallist Florent Manaudou (CN Marseille), Maxime Grousset (Amiens Metropole), Clement Cute (CN Marseille) and Thom By Boer (Of Dolfijn).
In the qualifying round, Carter advanced with the seventh fastest time (23.13s) of the 27 competitors.
On Friday, the Tokyo-bound athlete produced his best performance of the three-day meet by splashing to silver in the 50m butterfly.
