Yulia Efimova Gets Within 0.01 of 100 Breast World Record in Semi-Finals; Lilly King Right Behind Her
Editorial Coverage provided by
In what will be must-see television, Russia’s Yulia Efimova will be the top seed in the 100 breast at the FINA World Championships in Budapest in tomorrow’s final. Efimova got oh-so-close to Ruta Meilutyte’s world record of 1:04.35 with a 1:04.36. Efimova leads Olympic champion Lilly King, who was second at 1:04.53. The two will clash heads in a much anticipated rematch after last summer’s epic duel in Rio.
Don’t take your eyes off of world record holder Meilutyte who is third at 1:05.06. Meilutyte will not want to see her world record go down and she will be looking to do better than her disappointing swim in Rio last summer.
American Katie Meili (1:05.48), China’s Shi Jinglin (1:06.47), Spain’s Jessica Vall (1:06.62), Canada’s Kierra Smith (1:06.62) and Great Britain’s Sarah Vasey (1:06.81) will compete in tomorrow’s final.
