The women’s 100 back world record was broken last night at the 2017 FINA World Championships in Budapest and the 50 record was narrowly missed on Wednesday night at the pool. Brazil’s Etiene Medeiros swam a 27.18 to just miss the record of 27.06 held by Zhao Jing of China from 2009. The time for Medeiros is a South American record. Medeiros is just ahead of China’s Fu Yuanhui (27.19) into tomorrow’s final.
USA’s Kathleen Baker also broke an American Record with a 27.48 to beat Natalie Coughlin’s record of 27.51 from 2015. Great Britain’s Georgia Davies (27.49), Australia’s Emily Seebohm (27.51) and Holly Barratt (27.51), Belarus’ Aliaksandra Herasimenia (27.54) and China’s Wang Xueer (27.60) will also swim in tomorrow’s final where a world record could fall down.
