Swedish superstar\u00a0Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong> went out under world record-pace for the first 50 meters of her 100 fly, but she couldn’t quite hang on to that sizzling pace. Sjostrom ended up finishing in 56.13, moving her ahead of\u00a0Rikako Ikee\u00a0<\/strong>(56.23) as the fastest swimmer in the world this year.<\/p>\n

No one in the field could challenge Sjostrom. Russia’s\u00a0Svetlana Chimrova\u00a0<\/strong>finished second in 57.30, and Italy’s\u00a0Elena Di Liddo\u00a0<\/strong>took bronze in 57.58. Just missing the medals were Italy’s\u00a0Ilaria Bianchi\u00a0<\/strong>(57.62) and Greece’s\u00a0Anna Ntountounaki\u00a0<\/strong>(57.67).<\/p>\n

Also in the final were Sweden’s\u00a0Louise Hansson\u00a0<\/strong>(57.89), Denmark’s\u00a0Emilie Beckmann\u00a0<\/strong>(58.35) and Germany’s\u00a0Aleina Schmidtke\u00a0<\/strong>(58.80).<\/p>\n
