STOCKHOLM - Jessica Hardy has broken her own world record in the women's 50-meter breaststroke at a short-course World Cup meet.
Hardy clocked 28.96 seconds in a qualifying heat in Stockholm on Wednesday to beat her mark of 29.36 set four days ago in Moscow.
The American says going under 29 seconds had "been a goal all year. I didn't ever think I would do it and I didn't think it would be that easy."
It was the fifth world record set at the meet. On Tuesday, Jing Zhao of China twice set new marks in the women's 50 backstroke. Records were also set by Felicity Galvez of Australia in the women's 100 butterfly and Kaio Almeida of Brazil in the men's 200 butterfly.
