Gomes swam in heat 5, lane 8, and managed a time of 24.11 seconds against his seed time of 23.99 seconds.
Meanwhile, other Malawian athletes are anticipated to perform tomorrow.
Short-distance runner, Asimenye Simwaka, will compete in the women’s 100 m-meter race, while another swimmer, Tayamika Chayang’amuno, will compete on Saturday in the 50-meter women’s freestyle.
