Syaiful cruised to gold in the final, clocking an impressive one minute and 41.44 seconds. His time not only secured him the championship but also broke the games record he had set earlier that day. The previous record stood at 1:41.55 seconds, which Syaiful had achieved in the morning preliminaries.
Kazakhstan's Ali Turganbekov and India's Rohit Kumar secured the silver and bronze medals respectively. Turganbekov took the silver with a time of 1:44.26 seconds, while Rohit Kumar finished third with a time of 1:57.25 seconds.
Earlier in the day, Lim Carmen claimed a bronze medal in the women's 50-meter freestyle S8 category. Carmen's 35.51-second time was not enough to beat Japan's Mai Mizukami (35.49 seconds) for silver. China's Zhu Hui claimed the gold with a remarkable time of 31.40 seconds.
