Lewis Clareburt will have another opportunity at an Olympic medal, qualifying for the final of the 200m individual medley.
The 22-year-old finished fourth in his semifinal heat with a time of 1min 57.55sec, which was enough to see him qualify as the seventh-fastest for the eight-man final.
As was the case in his first heat of the event, Clareburt needed a big final 50m to overcome a deficit, making the turn at the 150m mark in seventh place.

He turned in his second-fastest leg of the race on the freestyle leg, finishing the final 50m in 27.72sec. His fastest was the butterfly, kicking off his race with a 25.15sec leg.
