farov the book he doesn't get off to the greatest start from Von Roy had that honor but look at the underwater and the way he uses it he's into the lead by half a body length before he's even come out of the water as he had a bookie and he is going to extend his Advantage here so four lengths of this pool he'll go with fly first then into the backstroke then into the breaststroke which is his weakest and then he will have the freestyle coming home Bucky is so strong garaschenko is also looking good so too is taliso Engel but 25-90 at the wall at 50. yeah I mean bulky unsurprisingly is out very fast in the butterfly and now he turns into the backstroke which is yet another very strong stroke for him it's really only breaststroke where he has a little bit of weakness but he needs to be out as far ahead from the others as possible especially because we know David Abrams is very strong in the breaststroke but right now in second position going very strong is the Dutch swimmer we saw him swim very well this morning and he's doing it again right now during finals so here Bucky is well and truly in front from vandora effectively two and a half seconds behind and garroshenko looking good after the opening 100 meters with the fly and then the back but into the breaststroke now watch out for uh bookie van Von Roy is catching him at the moment Abrams is making up quite a bit of ground so to his Alex portal this is an excellent breaststroke from Portal in fact who's getting himself into a bronze medal position here and might be challenging for the silver but watch Abrams in two plenty of ground that he is making up but bookie has got such an advantage he's not going to waste it from here no and bokey's actually ahead of world record time at this at the 150 Mark there as he comes into the freestyle and look at him go in the freestyle you know Pokey he's such a controlled swimmer but once he starts to turn on the legs and really increase his stroke rate with the freestyle it's anyone's guess there is no man in the world other than Mike Kenny who has 16 individual gold medals at the paralympic games here at borky is going to reach his 16th gold medal in World Record time he comes home to smash his own world record twice a European Champion twice the world champion he defends his Rio title as he comes to the wall it's a brilliant silver for Alex portal and indeed a bronze for Von vandroy but Alex portal with a silver medal and shows his quality his potential three years away from Paris 2024 this is a big medal for Alex portal from Von Roy with the bronze medal he'll be delighted with that but I had bookie you can take nothing away from him he says every medal he gets gives him the energy to win the next you know ihar Voki he just makes me speechless which of course is hard to do but what a swim well here bookie the man from Minsk four goals in four events here he's now gone five goals in five Alex portal the 403 bronze medalists the world championship silver made list is a paralympic game silver medalist and fourth in London at the World Championships from vandroy has upgraded to bronze onto the podium he goes and already he doesn't of course have the quickest reaction time but we're bulky excels is the underwater as he comes into the fly fly one of his strongest Strokes I mean he's strong in everything but he's particularly strong and flying back and then he goes right into the backstroke he established himself he took out that early lead who's already head of world record Pace at the 50 Mark as he went into the backstroke turns into the brushstroke which is of course his weakest leg and he did appear to get caught a little bit by some of the other swimmers in the field but still continue to maintain that lead as he went into the freestyle and he turned on his legs he increased his stroke rate and shattered the world record that actually hadn't been broken since August of 2013 that he set that in Montreal so that that swim was a long time coming well you you lost questions about uh the greatest ever in terms of Medal tally he's nowhere near any of the greats but it's his incredible ability to win gold that sets him apart nobody else has more gold medals he's matched Mike Kenny's 16 individual goals ER boki in world record time takes the 200 IM ahead of two teenagers Alex portal three years of Paris 2024 he wins silver for France and Netherlands through Thomas van Von Roy the Dutch teenager takes third
