Team GB's Ben Proud reaches men's 50m freestyle final

Great Britain's Ben Proud has reached the final of the men's 50m freestyle after a superb swim on Thursday night.

After impressing in the heats, the 21-year-old earned himself a place among the middle lanes and he was quickest out of the blocks in the second semi-final.

Proud was caught by both Andriy Govorov and Anthony Ervin but he managed to hold on to third position in order to guarantee himself a place in the final.

He progresses through as the fifth-fastest qualifier, but there was a huge surprise as Australia's Cameron McEvoy missed out after finishing in seventh place in his semi-final.
