Gretchen Walsh Shines Again, Smashes Her Own 100m Butterfly World Record
American swimmer Gretchen Walsh continues to make waves in the world of competitive swimming. On Saturday, she broke her own world record in the 100m butterfly, clocking an incredible 55.09 seconds during the heats at the Tyr Pro Swim Series in Orlando, Florida.
Walsh had previously set the world record at 55.18 seconds during the US Olympic trials in Indianapolis on June 15 last year. Although she secured only a silver medal in the event at the Paris Olympics, finishing behind her teammate Torri Huske, her latest achievement cements her status as one of the sport’s brightest stars.
Her new record came just a day after another milestone—she became only the second woman in history, alongside Sweden’s Sarah Sjöström, to swim the 50m butterfly in under 25 seconds, clocking an astonishing 24.93 in the final.
Walsh’s back-to-back accomplishments showcase her extraordinary talent and relentless drive, thrilling fans and inspiring swimmers around the globe.
