Eneli Jefimova Twice Lowers Estonian 50 Breast Record As She Breaks 30-Second Barrier<\/h4>\n

Eneli Jefimova<\/strong> lowered her Estonian 50m breaststroke record twice in a day as she continued to rewrite the national record books at the Speedo Helskinki Open.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coming into the meet, the 18-year-old had a best of 30.08 from the 2022 World Championships<\/strong> in Budapest. She consigned that to history in the prelims in the Finnish capital where she made her first journey inside 30secs in 29.89.<\/p>\n

Jefimova, the European 100 champion, returned in the evening to slice a further 0.06 from that time as she posted 29.83 to stand top of the world rankings.<\/p>\n

It was her second Estonian record in as many days after she went 1:05.86 in the 100m breaststroke.<\/p>\n
