WOMEN’S 50 FREESTYLE – FINALS – 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series
Farida Osman broke the Egyptain National Record to win the women’s 50 freestyle with her time of 24.92. She held off Ariana Vanderpool-Wallace who finished second at 25.12 and Katie Meili in third at 25.43.
Megan Romano had a busy night finishing fourth in her final event of the day at 25.69. Arlene Semeco was fifth at 25.73.
Kirsty Coventry training back in the US for Rio.There could be a other surprises.
24.92 is also apparently the Africa continental record, not just the Egyptian one.
I always enjoy seeing excellent swimmers come from unexpected places.
Cool to see African swimmers at the best level.
Farida is officially the fastest Egyptian female to ever swim! She finished 7th in Barcelona in the 100 fly, holding off Volmer in the process. Really curious to see what she does towards Rio16!
