Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom just missed her world record in the 50 free that she set last night in the semi-finals at the FINA World Championships in Budapest. Sjostrom swam the second fastest time ever with a 23.69 for the gold medal in the 50. She was joined under 24 seconds by Ranomi Kromowidjojo of the Netherlands as she broke 24 for the first time. Kromowidjojo swam a 23.85 to win the silver.
USA’s Simone Manuel also broke 24 for the first time as she swam a 23.97 to break the American Record. That breaks the record that Dara Torres set in 2008 at 24.07.
Denmark’s Pernille Blume (24.00), Belarus’ Aliaksandra Herasimenia (24.46), China’s Liu Xiang (24.58), France’s Anna Santamans (24.58) and Australia’s Bronte Campbell (24.58) also swam in the championship final.
Sjostrom joins Therese Alshammar (2011) as winners in the event for Sweden at the World Championships. Sjostrom upgrades her bronze from 2015 in this event.
