Again very impressive performance by Sandeep Sejwal, this time he bettered his own national record by almost a second, previous record was 1:02.19 ... He also missed semi-final place by only 1.15 secs in Men's 100m Breaststroke.

Vir finished on 57th position in 204 swimmers in Men's 50m Butterfly ... But his timing was 0.07 secs more than his national record.

In Men's 200m Freestyle, Vir's timing was disappointing as he was way below his own national record, 1:49.86 mins ... Here that timing can gave him top-50 finish.

Also interesting to note performance of 14 yrs old Vandita Dhariyal in Women's 100m Butterfly.
