Aussie Olympic Champion Kyle Chalmers’ Scorching 47.24, The Fourth Fastest Time of His Career in Norway

Australia’s Olympic champion Kyle Chalmers has scorched to the fourth fastest 100m freestyle time of his celebrated career, clocking 47.27 to win the 2025 Bergen Swim Festival in Norway overnight.

The 26-year-old South Australian cruised to a new meet record in the heats of 48.04 – erasing the mark of 48.78 set by Belgium’s Peter Timmers in 2019 – Trimmers the man Chalmers beat to win his Olympic gold in Rio in  2016.

With his pregnant Norwegian fiancé Ingeborg Løyning cheering him on, Chalmers split 22.76 and powered home in 24.51 for his 47.27 – marginally outside his personal best of 47.08 – first swum in 2019 at the Gwangju World Championships in Korea and then again at the postponed Tokyo Olympics, swum in 2021 – both times beaten by the USA’s Caeleb Dressel.

Norway’s Sander Sorensen established a new Norwegian National record,  talking silver in 48.86.
