Canadian teenager Josh Liendo is back on the podium at worlds. The Markham, Ont., native won bronze in the men's 100-metre butterfly on Friday in Hungary, just two days after capturing his first career world championship medal by taking bronze in the 100 freestyle.

Liendo's latest medal marks Canada's eighth of the meet, tying a national record set in 2019. Liendo, 19, stormed back in the second 50 metres after reaching the halfway point out of medal position.

His split time in the back half of the race only trailed Milak and Mizunuma. Just over 30 minutes earlier, Liendo missed out on another potential medal by just 0.04 seconds, placing fifth in the 50 freestyle.

The Canadian qualified with the third-fastest time at 21.73 seconds, and improved to 21.61 seconds in the final. Yet he was left on the outside looking in, as Benjamin Proud of the U.K.
