Justin Reese He won his first singles world gold with 24.12 – the 14th fastest swim in history – before a video review ruled out the 24-year-old American for being completely submerged at the end.

I touched Reese at 24.12, just 0.02 seconds ago Armstrong, the world record holder in this event. While he was the presumed winner, Armstrong seemed visibly upset at the way his teammate had been robbed.

“I was really proud of Justin,” Armstrong said. “This was a great race. We were only 0.2 seconds away.

“I would have preferred a second place and it was with me than having the title with DQ,” Armstrong added. “It’s not what I wanted. I was incredibly proud of him. He’s just an amazing athlete, a great talent, and a complete slob. He’s capable of so much. To take that from him, it’s disgusting.”
