Men's 100m butterfly gold for Egypt at Dakar 2026 — 52.16 wins it by 1.87 seconds on day one

Egypt's swimmer won the men's 100m butterfly on the first day of competition at the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games, leading from start to finish: turning in 24.18 and touching in 52.16, a full 1.87 seconds clear of Serbia's Aleksej Kalanj (54.03), with Slovakia's Matiáš Krištof taking bronze in 54.71. World Aquatics' own day-one report and the event's results record agree on every time and placing. One thing they do not settle is the winner's name — reports give it differently — so this page carries the verified result and leaves the name out until the official Olympics.com results record settles it.
