Santos won the men’s 50 meter butterfly final with a time of 21.93 seconds. He holds the world record in this event with a time of 21.75 seconds, which Santos set back in October of 2018. Hungarian swimmer Szebasztián Szabó is also tied with Santos with the world record time.

Once again, at age 41, Santos proves that age is just a number, he is like fine wine.

In ISL Season 3, Santos competed once again for Team Iron (with Dorina Szekeres as the team’s General Manager) and he was able to earn many points for his team.
