Daniel Gyurta competes in the final of the men's 200m Breaststroke on Day 5 of London 2012.

Hungary's Daniel Gyurta set a new world record in the men's 200m Breaststroke final to hold off Great Britain's Michael Jamieson for the gold medal.

Gyurta and Jamieson went head-to-head over the last 50m, with the 2004 Athens silver medallist lowering Christian Sprenger's world mark by 0.03 to 2:07.28.

Jamieson clocked 2:07.43 - the third fastest time in history - to claim the silver, with Ryo Tateishi of Japan (2:08.29) picking up the bronze medal.
