American swimmer Kate Douglas has set a new world record in the 200 meters breaststroke on a short course.
Details: At the World Cup stage in Singapore, Douglas clocked a time of 2:12.72, breaking her own record set just a week earlier at the competition in Incheon (2:14.16).
Quote: “I definitely wasn’t expecting a time of 2:12. I felt capable of such a race after last weekend. It seems to me that if I had gone into the race expecting to break the world record, I might have surprised myself, and I did,” Kate said after the swim.
Reminder: Kate Douglas is a two-time Olympic champion from Paris 2024, having won gold in the same event, the 200m breaststroke, as well as in the 4×100 medley relay.
