GWANGJU, Korea, Republic Of — Kylie Masse helped set a Canadian record when she won the bronze medal in the women's 200-metre backstroke on Saturday at the FINA World Championships.
Masse, the 100-metre backstroke champion earlier this week, also equals Penny Oleksiak as the most decorated female swimmer at worlds with four career medals and also ties Sydney Pickrem for the Canadian woman with the most individual medals at worlds with three. John Atkinson, Swimming Canada's high performance director, praised Masse's consistency in her performances.
Markus Thormeyer, Yuri Kisil, Taylor Ruck and Oleksiak followed in fourth. Oleksiak swam a lifetime best anchor split of 52.00 to move Canada up from sixth but couldn't quite catch France's Marie Wattel despite making up more than a second on her.
