The star-studded women’s 100 butterfly final did not disappoint on Thursday night as American record holder Torri Huske held off Regan Smith for the victory, with both swimmers reaching the wall under the previous Pro Swim Series record (56.38) set by the legendary Sarah Sjostrom back in 2016.
Splits Comparison, Pro Swim Series Records
| Sarah Sjostrom, Jan. 2016 | Torri Huske, March 2024 |
| 26.51 | 26.03 |
| 56.38 (29.87) | 56.13 (30.10) |
Huske got her hand on the wall first in 56.13, which would have won the world title last month ahead of Germany’s Angelina Kohler (56.28). She has been as fast as 55.64 on her way to the world title in 2022 before bringing home bronze last summer in 56.61.
“I feel really good about where I am right now,” Huske said afterward. “I think that I’m on a good path right now. I knew Regan was going to swim a really fast race — she always does. I don’t really look at people during the race, but I knew she was right there.”
Smith posted a new lifetime best with her runner-up finish in 56.36, knocking a couple tenths off her previous-best 56.60 from last March’s Pro Swim Series stop in Fort Lauderdale. She had the fastest final 50 in the field at 29.53, more than a second quicker than Huske (30.10). Smith now ranks 4th in the world this season behind Huske, Kohler (56.11), and Zhang Yufei (55.86).

Great swim by Victoria! Always big fan of Regan Smith’s, but as great as she is, her events are so stacked that making the Olympic team is going to be a challenge.

It will forever be unfathomable to me:
A) What the broadcaster gains from this international geo-block (for goodness sake this is just a swim meet).
B) Why the meet organizer doesn’t demand lifting of geo-block as a prerequisite to filming the meet.
C) How pro swimmers put up with this. Just don’t attend a meet where the video audience is deliberately limited by the broadcaster.
Take charge!

You can see all the videos from USA swimming. Should not be geoblocked
Agreed.
Geoblocking for swim meets like PSS makes no sense.
It literally has zero commercial value outside USA.

Torri going 56.1 right now is great!
