The fifth finals session of the 2019 FINA World Championships took note from the night before as two World Records were posted, both from Team Australia. First, Matthew Wilson equaled the men’s 200 breast World Record of 2:06.67, becoming the first Australian to hold the World Record since 2009. The Australian women later added a new World Record in the 800 free relay, taking down one of the last remaining records from the shiny suit era.
Throughout the entirety of the finals session, Swimming World photographer Becca Wyant was on deck capturing the action and excitement, while Swimming World’s Craig Lord, John Lohn, Liz Byrnes and Andy Ross reported on the action from Gwangju, South Korea.
