Sajan Prakash 100m butterfly heats Olympics 2021 LIVE updates: Sajan Prakash out of top 16

That was all from this LIVE blog

It is curtains to India's swimming campaign at the Tokyo Olympics. None of the three swimmers from India made it past the heats.

Still, India will take a lot of positives from the Summer Games. A lot of firsts for Indian swimming in the past 2 months. With the experience gained from the Olympics, India's swimmers will look to put up better performances in the future.

The action at Olympics never stops. Neither does Sportskeeda's coverage. You can catch all the action and updates on Sportskeeda.

SAJAN PRAKASH FINISHES 46TH!

The Indian was 3.06 seconds behind the first place

USA's Caeleb Dressel had the best timing in the heats

The final results from Heat No. 2

Caeleb Dressel breaks the Olympic record in heat No. 8. He clocks 50.39 and breaks the record set by Joseph Schooling five years ago.

Caeleb Dressel is now competing in the 8th and final heat.

The world record timing in the men's 100m butterfly is held by USA's Caeleb Dressel at 49.50. The Olympic record was set by Joseph Schooling at the 2016 Rio Olympics when he finished in 50.39 seconds and famously beat Michael Phelps to the gold medal.

With 5 heats completed, it seems highly unlikely that Sajan will make it to the semi-finals

Sajan Prakash's personal best in men's 100m butterfly is 53.27 which he managed in the month of June. He narrowly missed out on his personal best timing today.

Will Prakash's timing of 53.45 be enough to make it to the semi-finals? We will have to wait and see.

Ghana's Abeku Jackson wins the race. He was merely 0.06 seconds faster than the Indian.
