Great Britain-born Jamaican Josh Kirlew was eliminated in the heats of the men’s 100m butterfly at the Paris Olympic Games on Friday morning.

The 24-year-old, who was one of Jamaica’s flag bearers at the Olympics opening ceremony on July 26, produced 54.66 for fifth in the first of five heats.

With the 16 fastest swimmers advancing to the semifinals, Kirlew’s time was only good enough for 36^th overall.
