Srihari Nataraj has so far won three medals in individual events and two in relays as he continued to lead India's charge at home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Drawn in lane five in the Men's 100m Freestyle, Srihari paced his race smartly. He turned third at the 50m mark with China\u2019s Haoyu Wang (49.19) and Qatar\u2019s Ali Tamer Hassan (49.46) ahead, while Akash Mani (50.45) was close on his heels in fourth. In the second lap, Srihari dug in, maintaining his rhythm to hold off the chasing pack and secure bronze in 49.96 seconds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI've had a good season this year, and I think training has been going really well. I was fast in the heats, and with the way my training has been, I thought I'd be much faster here. But these guys swam a brilliant race as well, and I'm just glad I got my hand on the wall to be on the podium,\u201d Srihari said after the final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt feels great, walking out, finishing the race, the victory ceremony; the crowd is really insane. We have a big team here, a lot of coaches, a lot of parents, everyone\u2019s flown down, and it\u2019s been tremendous the past three days. The energy is amazing. Usually in swimming, you can\u2019t hear anything while racing, but in the last 50m of the relay yesterday, I don\u2019t know who it was, I could hear so much, just screams cheering us on the whole time. It\u2019s a great feeling,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the Men\u2019s 50m Butterfly, Rohit B Benedicton started well and went on to clinch the silver medal with a time of 23.89, closely losing out to Kazakhstan\u2019s Adilbek Mussin, who finished first with 23.74.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meanwhile, in the Women\u2019s 100m Freestyle, India\u2019s Dhinidhi Desinghu and Shashidhara Rujula booked places in the final but couldn\u2019t break through the top half of the field, finishing sixth and eighth respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
