Kylie Masse sets Canadian record at swimming world championships Globe_Sports

Canada now has two gold and five bronze in the pool this week as well as an open water bronze last week for Eric Hedlin. The previous pool mark was six, set in 1978.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.“Everyone did a really good job,” said Kisil. “I just know from my own swim there’s a lot I can improve on. It wasn’t the greatest time. I’m just proud of everyone stepping up.
