Kate Douglass Shatters 50m Free World Record | California News

Kate Douglass just shattered the women’s 50-meter freestyle world record again, clocking 23.49 seconds at the Pan Pacific Championships — faster than her own previous mark and just days after her teammate Gretchen Walsh also broke the record. With five Olympic medals and a silver at Worlds, Douglass is a force, while Walsh, who swam 23.78 seconds right after, is right behind. This is the first world record of the meet, and with top swimmers from the U.S., Australia, and Japan in the mix, the finals are shaping up to be electric.
