Tang Yan was in third place. It wasn't that he didn't want to chase Lochte but after he used the 8 kick frequency for a period of time, he found his calf muscles began to tighten and feel sore.

A heavy frown set across his face and nervously he changed from 8 drafts to 7 and the feeling gradually faded.

By the time he entered the third turn, Lochte was ahead by a metre.

Although Tang Yan lowered his kick frequency, his kick distance was much higher than that of most other swimmers. At this time, he had risen to second place.

In the final 50 meters, Lochte was still a metre ahead of Tang Yan.

In the end, his time was 1 minute 45 seconds 31 and he easily won the group.

Tang Yan was restricted, only being able to use 80% of his strength. He got a time of 1 minute 47 seconds 21, ranking second in the group.
