TORONTO — Canada's Kylie Masse admits she had some self-doubt with her swimming performances at times over the last year or two.Masse delivered a stellar performance on Wednesday night at the Olympic & Paralympic Trials, winning the women's 100-metre backstroke in 57.94 seconds.
Masse, from LaSalle, Ont., won bronze in her Olympic debut in 2016. She earned her first world title a year later and set a world record at the same time. Masse went over a quarter-second faster in the evening final, going under the 58-second mark for the first time in three years. "I'm so excited to see what Kylie can do and she made it so easy to be competitive and race beside her to try to do what I wanted to do today," she said.
