The 2025 World Para Swimming Championships continued with Day 3 from Singapore and U.S. swimmer Olivia Chambers<\/strong> continued her stellar meet.<\/p>\n

Chambers won the women\u2019s 100 freestyle S13 against a stacked field that featured a 1-3 American finish with Grace Nuhfer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, it\u2019s just crazy. I wouldn\u2019t consider myself a sprinter really, so I\u2019ve really just been embracing that and trying to get some more speed,\u201d Chambers said. \u201cIt\u2019s always exciting to get out there with (Grace) and to just have a great race.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew coming into worlds that this race was going to be a close one and after this morning knew that I hit the gas really early on [in prelims] so I wanted to be a little stronger with my pull going out and hit it home that last 50.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fresh off her double podium debut, Katie Kubiak<\/strong> returned to the pool for two events including racing a class above her own in the women’s 50m butterfly S5. In doing so, Kubiak added a silver to her collection in world record fashion, cementing a time of 39.34 in the history books for the S4 classification.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never expected to set a world record at this meet,\u201d said Kubiak. \u201cTo touch the wall and turn around to see the world record pop up on the scoreboard was incredible and I\u2019m just so proud that I was able to set it in the venue while representing Team USA.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was one of the only S4 athletes in that heat so it\u2019s always a little intimidating to be at the disadvantage of being a class down. I think it really lit a fire under me to want to do my best and that really showed in the water\u201cWow, that was such a fun race and great competition,\u201d Boyd said. \u201cI\u2019m just glad I could bring home another medal for Team USA.\u201d<\/p>\n

Para Winners from Day 3:<\/h1>\n
