O'Callaghan Lowers 200m Free Short Course Mark at Toronto World Cup
The 21-year-old Australian earned $30,000 in bonuses after breaking the 200m freestyle short course world record twice during the World Cup series.
- In Toronto, Mollie O'Callaghan, Australian swimmer, broke her own 200m short-course freestyle world record in 1:49.36 on Friday, less than a week after setting it at Westmont, Illinois.
- With the World Cup series, O'Callaghan's surge came after Ariarne Titmus's retirement, and she received a $15,000 triple crown bonus this month.
- O'Callaghan flew out of the blocks and held an early advantage after the first 50m, maintaining world-record pace through most of the race against the competing field at the Toronto World Cup.
- Next up, Mollie O'Callaghan will turn her attention to the 100m freestyle where she could pose a threat to triple crown contender Kate Douglass, while Kaylee McKeown and Lani Pallister posted strong victories in Toronto.
- Siobhan Haughey's previous mark of 1:50.31 from 2021 earned her two US$10,000 cheques, while the Toronto World Cup meet also featured record swims by Hubert Kos and Josh Liendo.
