A stronger contender for a medal in the pool at the Tokyo Olympics is proving he should head into the Games in career-best form.
Lewis Clareburt set his second New Zealand Open record of the week yesterday while meeting the Olympic qualification time in the 200m Individual Medley.
Clareburt beat the previous record (1:59.24) by 1.35 seconds, finishing in 1:57.89 seconds. The previous record was held by Bradlee Ashby in 2017 at the FINA World Championships.
