While twelve different meet records fell over the course of the two day meet, the most head-turning swim came from <\/span><b>Cate Campbell, <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-record-for-cate-campbell-in-100-freestyle\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who earned the Performance of the Week by breaking the world record in the 100 freestyle<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going out in 24.87 to her feet, <\/span><b>Campbell <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">touched the wall at 52.06 to break the world record by .01. That record had been held by German sprinter and Olympic gold medalist <\/span><b>Britta Steffen <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">since 2009, a mark she set at the World Championships that summer in Rome. <\/span><b>Campbell <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">already led the world rankings in the 100 this season, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/cate-and-bronte-campbell-emma-mckeon-post-3-of-worlds-top-4-100-freestyles\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">having posted a 52.38 back in April at the Aussie Olympic Trials<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that was right off of her best time. Already the Olympic gold medal favorite in the 100, this world record only solidifies her position as the favorite and raises the question of whether or not the 24-year old will be the first woman under 52.00 in the 100 freestyle. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This swim also has huge implications for the relays in Rio. With three women already under 53 at their Olympic Trials and <\/span><b>Campbell <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">now the world record holder in the 100, the Aussies seem to continue to distance themselves from the rest of the world in the 4 x 100 free relay. Similarly in the 4 x 100 medley, the Aussie women have the best front and back end in the world between <\/span><b>Emily Seebohm <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><b>Cate Campbell. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the breaststroke and butterfly legs aren\u2019t as strong for the Aussies, just getting solid swims from those two legs may be enough to get to the top of the podium. As always we will have to wait until race time to find out, but this summer is shaping up to be historic!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Congratulations <\/span><b>Cate Campbell<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on earning <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swimming World\u2019s <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performance of the
