Cape Town - Olympic medallist Chad le Clos continued his golden spree on day two of the fourth leg of the FINA Swimming World Cup in Budapest on Friday.
Le Clos won gold in the men's 200m butterfly stopping the clock in 1:50.29 as Japanese duo Daiya Seto (1:51.01) and Yuya Yajima (1:51.80) rounded up the podium.
On the opening day on Thursday, Le Clos won gold in the men's 100m butterfly with a time of 49.22.
Fellow countryman and Commonwealth Games bronze medallist Bradley Tandy won bronze in the men's 50m freestyle on Thursday with a time of 21.06 behind a world record swim by Russia's Vladimir Morozov (20.51) and second-place Benjamin Proud of Great Britain (20.89).
