Paris Olympics: Regan Smith books berth with 100m backstroke world record

LOS ANGELES – Regan Smith clocked a world record 57.13sec to win the 100m backstroke at the US Olympic swimming trials on Tuesday, throwing down a challenge to Aussie Kaylee McKeown six weeks before the Paris Games."It was part of the plan," Smith said of regaining the record she held back in 2019.

Berkoff finished second in 57.91 to set up a powerful US one-two punch in the event in Paris, where McKeown will still be a formidable rival. She posted the 57.41sec at the Australian trials last week. Bobby Finke, double distance freestyle gold medallist in Tokyo, booked his 800m title defense with a victory in 7min 44.22sec, with teenager Luke Whitlock second in 7:45.19.

Chris Guiliano, already Paris-bound after finishing second to Luke Hobson in the 200m free, topped the semi-finals in 47.25sec.
