Similar to Adam Peaty in the 100 breast, Sarah Sjostrom was not expected to lose in the women’s 100 fly final, as she was chasing her world record from Rio last summer. Sjostrom just missed the record as she went 55.53 to break the championship record, but missed her best time of 55.48.
She got some pressure from either side of her as Australian Emma McKeon (56.18) and American Kelsi Worrell (56.37) pushed her the whole race. The time for McKeon is an Australian record to move past 2008 Olympic champion Libby Trickett.
Canada’s Penny Oleksiak (56.94), South Korea’s An Sehyeon (57.07), Japan’s Rikako Ikee (57.08), Russia’s Svetlana Chimrova (57.24) and China’s Zhang Yufei (57.51) also competed in the championship final.
This is Sjostrom’s fourth overall World Championship gold medal as she previously won in 2009, 2013 and 2015.
