He received a ticket from FINA, under a Universality program, in an entry time of 24.00.[2] He challenged seven other swimmers in heat three, including two-time Olympians Howard Hinds of the Netherlands Antilles and Emin Guliyev of Azerbaijan. He raced to the fifth seed in 25.06, more than a second outside his entry standard. Hughes failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed fifty-seventh overall in the prelims.[3][4]
