Singapore’s Tzen Wei Teong and Olympic champion Joseph Schooling went one-two in the final of the 50m butterfly at the Southeast Asian Games in Philippines on Thursday night. Teong took gold in a sluggish 23.55 seconds with Schooling behind in 23.61. Indonesia’s Glenn Sutanto rounded out the podium claiming bronze in 23.84. Schooling was the three-time defending champion in Clark, and was expected to retain his 50m crown, but Teong delivered a personal best time after a fine start. “It was a hard race,” Schooling said. “Kudos to Tzen Wei, he did really well and had a great start. “I tried my best but sometimes that’s the result. I’m not too disappointed, obviously, to see my teammate in front of me. I’d rather have him in front of me than anyone else.” 2016 Rio Olympic champion Joseph Schooling settles for silver in men’s 50-meter butterfly after being beaten out by his teammate Tzen Wei Teong.
