Seasoned Indian swimmer Sajan Prakash was unable to qualify for the semifinals of the men's 200m freestyle event at the World Aquatics Championships held on Monday.

The 31-year-old recorded a time of 1:51.57, securing fourth place in his heat, which resulted in a 43rd overall rank. Despite his efforts, only the top 16 swimmers advanced to the next stage.

As Romania's David Popovici topped the heats at 1:45.43s, Italy's Carlos D'Ambrosio narrowly made it to the semifinals with a time of 1:46.67s. Prakash, a two-time Olympian, aims to turn his focus to the upcoming 200m butterfly event scheduled for Tuesday.
