With a time of 23.69 seconds, Sjöström came close to his own world record by 8 hundredths and offers himself a fourth planetary crown over this distance, five months before the Paris Olympics. The 30-year-old swimmer beat the American Kate Douglass (23 sec 91) and the Polish Katarzyna Wasick (23 sec 95). She had already won the day before in the 50m butterfly final.
