Most notably, Touretski tied her own Swiss national record in the 50-meter free en route to her 25.27 victory. She duplicated her time from late May at a meet in Bellinzona, Switzerland. Her time currently stands at 44th in the world.

In addition to her stellar 50 free, Touretski won the 100-meter free, 50-meter back, and the 50 and 100-meter fly. (Times Below).
