At last year&#8217;s TYR Pro Series stop in South Florida, Walsh ripped a world mark of 55.09 during preliminary action in the 100-meter butterfly, and then took the global standard down to 54.60 in the final.<\/p>\n<p>Will Walsh look just as sharp this year?<\/p>\n<p>The 23-year-old is coming off a 55.22 performance in the 100 fly at last month&#8217;s China Open, so Walsh is positioned to produce additional speedy times in Fort Lauderdale. From an all-time perspective, the American star needs a pair of sub-55.48 efforts to increase her total to the 13-fastest swims in the history of the 100 butterfly. Yes, Walsh has been that dominant in her prime event, her world record sitting .88 quicker Sweden&#8217;s <strong>Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong>, the No. 2 performer of all-time.<\/p>\n<p>In the historical rankings, only Great Britain&#8217;s <strong>Adam Peaty<\/strong> (100 breaststroke) and the United States&#8217; <strong>Katie Ledecky<\/strong> (1500 freestyle) own more top times than Walsh in a single event.
