DOHA – With an amazing anchor by Ranomi Kromowidjojo,\u00a0The Netherlands lowered its official world record in the women\u2019s 200 free relay even further at the FINA World Short Course Championships. Watch Race Video<\/a><\/p>\n

The Netherlands\u2019 quartet of Inge Dekker (24.09), Femke Heemskerk (23.24), Maud van der Meer (24.03) and Ranomi Kromowidjojo (22.88) raced the way to a 1:34.24.<\/p>\n

That swim undercut the 1:35.74 set by Esmee Vermeulen (25.09), Kromowidjojo (23.01), van der Meer (23.89) and Dekker (23.75) this morning in prelims, with the key being the amazing anchor from Kromowidjojo tonight.<\/p>\n

The Netherlands still owns the world best and European record with a 1:33.25 from 2009, but FINA did not retroactively recognize all potential world records upon recognizing this event last year.<\/p>\n

Team USA had a chance at the world record, but could not withstand the incredible anchor by Kromowidjojo.<\/p>\n

Madison Kennedy (24.06), Abbey Weitzeil (23.40), Natalie Coughlin (23.39) and Amy Bilquist (23.76) placed second in 1:34.61. \u00a0That swim crushed the American record of 1:37.27 set by the Kara Lynn Joyce-led Georgia Bulldogs at the 2004 NCAA Championships in College Station.<\/p>\n

Denmark\u2019s Jeanette Ottesen (23.73), Julie Levisen (24.30), Mie Nielsen (23.49) and Pernille Blume (23.96) picked up bronze in the event in 1:35.48.<\/p>\n

Italy (1:35.78), France (1:36.32), China (1:38.58), Japan (1:38.76) and Brazil (1:38.78) also swam for the world title tonight.<\/p>\n
