Ben Proud: "Anything can happen" in 50m freestyle final

Great Britain's Ben Proud has said that "anything can happen" in the final of the men's 50m freestyle at the World Swimming Championships in Russia.

The 20-year-old qualified fifth for the final, just over half a second behind Nathan Adrian of the United States, who was fastest.

The Commonwealth champion told reporters: "I'm glad I made it through safely. Going in fifth in such a tight race tomorrow, I know anything can happen. I need to take in a fresh mind, open to how anything goes and hopefully I'll get the race right."

Proud finished 18th in the same event two years ago.
