STOCKHOLM - Jing Zhao of China has beaten her own world record in the women's 50-meter backstroke at a short-course World Cup meet.
Jing timed 25.82 seconds in Tuesday's final at the Stockholm meet to beat her mark of 26.08 set earlier that day in qualifying.
The previous record before that was set by Marieke Guehrer of Australia, four days ago at the World Cup in Moscow.
Jing's record was the first at the event. Felicity Galvez of Australia also set a world record in the women's 100-meter butterfly.
