DOHA –\u00a0Sweden\u2019s Sarah Sjostrom sizzled in the women\u2019s 50 fly with a meet record time at the FINA World Short Course Championships. Watch Race Video<\/a><\/p>\n

Sjostrom threw down a winning effort of 24.58, lowering the meet mark of 24.87 set by compatriot Therese Alshammar back in 2010. \u00a0That\u2019s the top time in the world this year as well, undercutting Inge Dekker\u2019s 24.59 from the Dubai stop of the FINA World Cup.<\/p>\n

Sjostrom becomes the third Swedish woman to ever win this event, joining Alshammar (2006, 2010) and Anna-Karin Kammerling (2002).<\/p>\n

Denmark\u2019s Jeanette Ottesen raced her way to silver in a time of 24.71, better than her third-ranked season best of 24.88 from the Danish Open Championships.<\/p>\n

Dekker, meanwhile, couldn\u2019t replicate her World Cup speed as she settled for bronze with a 24.73.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s Lu Ying, the defending champion, took fourth in 25.21. \u00a0She won in 2012 with a 25.14, demonstrating just how much faster this event has progressed since then.<\/p>\n

Italy\u2019s Silvia Di Pietro (25.38), Poland\u2019s Aleksandra Urbanczyk (25.65), France\u2019s Melanie Henique (25.75) and Brazil\u2019s Daynara De Paula (25.94) finished fifth through eighth in the finale.<\/p>\n
