Not the best of days for the Kiwi mens' four by 100 medley relay team at the World Swimming Championships in Japan

Not the best of days for the Kiwi mens' four by 100 medley relay team at the World Swimming Championships in Japan

30 July 2023

The quartet, featuring Commonwealth Games gold medalist Lewis Clareburt, finished second in their heat, but have been disqualified after one of the other racers jumped the gun in the switchover.

It's likely cost New Zealand a spot in the final, which will be raced later tonight.
