DOHA – Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom, the world leader in the 100 free, just missed a meet record in semifinals at the FINA World Short Course Championships.
Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom raced her way to the top of the 100 free semifinal round with a 51.46. That’s not far off her top-ranked season best of 51.32 from the Swedish Short Course Championships, and just missed Ranomi Kromowidjojo’s meet record of 51.45 from the 2010 edition.
The Netherlands’ Femke Heemskerk (51.51) and Kromowidjojo (51.57) also broke 52 seconds to take second and third headed into finals. Both were season bests with Heemskerk lowering her 51.62 from the Danish Championships, and Kromowidjojo leapfrogging Emma McKeon (51.83) into third in the world.
Australia’s Bronte Campbell (52.02), Sweden’s Michelle Coleman (52.26), Japan’s Miki Uchida (52.49), Russia’s Veronika Popova (52.56) and Bahamas’ Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace (52.56) also made the finale.
