Walsh was out slower today than she was in both previous records but she made up for it on the back half. She notably split a 16.06 on the breaststroke leg, faster than the 16.76 posted by Kate Douglass the 200 breaststroke World Record holder. Walsh then grew her lead at the end with a 13.67 on the final 25.
Tonight’s swim earned Walsh another $25,000 World Record bonus.
All-Time Performances, Women’s 100 IM (SCM)

- Gretchen Walsh (USA), 55.71 – 2024

Walsh now holds the four fastest performances of all-time. Prior to Douglass breaking the World Record, the record stood at a 56.51 that Katinka Hosszu swam in 2017. Kate Douglass‘s silver medal performance tonight of a 56.49 now makes her the 2nd fastest performer ever.
Not only has she set all of these WR…. they gonna last long time*
* (except for when she breaks them)
She is absolutely insane, there are no words. The future is too bright
So much for needing to take it easy in the 100 fly semi haha
Amazing to set two WRs in 25 minutes, but even more amazing to set three individual WRs in one day. Has that ever been done before? I don’t think so.
Something’s fishy in those splits, it says Gretchen was only 0.02 faster than Kate in Backstroke… I’m betting her Back-Breast turn was soft on the hand touch and only registered to the feet
Definitely a soft touch
World records are unlucky on Friday the 13th. #Wahoo
We are not worthy.
Possibly the first time I’ve ever agreed with you. She is amazing.
Anyone keeping track of how much money she has made so far this meet?
they said $150K on the broadcast
187,000 so far
