STOCKHOLM - Felicity Galvez of Australia has set a world record in the women's 100-meter butterfly at a short-course World Cup meet.
Galvez clocked 55.46 seconds in Tuesday's final, beating the previous mark of 55.68 set by Jessicah Schipper of Australia on Aug. 12.
It was the second world record at the Stockholm meet. Earlier Tuesday, Jing Zhao of China set a world mark in a qualifying heat for the women's 50-meter backstroke.
She finished in 26.08 seconds to eclipse the time of 26.17 set by Marieke Guehrer of Australia four days ago in Moscow.
