Swimming – Impressive world records at the World Cup in Singapore

Regan Smith follows suit with another world record
Douglass’ compatriot Rebecca Soni broke what was one of the last world records of the full-body suit era in 2009. Douglass had last beaten Soni’s reference time of 2:14.12 minutes at the World Cup in Incheon, South Korea, and was now 1.4 seconds faster. Regan Smith followed suit with another world record. The US-American clocked 54.41 seconds in the 100-meter backstroke in Incheon and followed that with a time of 54.27 minutes in Singapore. Swiss swimmer Noe Ponti broke the world record in the 50 m dolphin at the opening of the World Cup in Shanghai.
