SINGAPORE, Nov. 17 -- Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden had two more titles and Vladimir Morozov of Russia took another title on the last day of the last stop in the FINA Swimming World Cup 2018 here on Saturday.
In her favorite 100m butterfly, Sjostrom was under world record pace in the first 50m but slowed down in the last 25 to touch home first in 55.73. She later came from behind to win the 100m freestyle in 51.13.
"I couldn't expect any better ending like this as I won two gold medals tonight and also top the overall rankings of the World Cup this year. Now I will start to celebrate my holidays," said Sjostrom.
Morozov was the fastest in the men's 50m butterfly in 22.17, beating Michael Andrew of the United States to second in 22.32 and local hero Joseph Schooling third in 22.40.
