3 More Short Course World Records
The waters of the short course pool in Eindhoven were BOILING as the crowd were treated to 3 more World Short Course Records at the FINA World Cup.
Katinka Hosszu destroyed the field in the final of the 200m IM to wipe her own record (set in the morning prelims) off the books and rewrite the mark with a 2:03.20.
Chad Le Clos powered his way to a new record time of 1:49.04 in the 200m butterfly while Ranomi Kromowidjojo blasted her way to a 23.24 50m freestyle.
The World Cup circuit could proved very lucrative for some with a World Record bringing a bonus of $10,000 and the accumulation of points at the end of the tour resulting in prize money for Top Males and Top Females of
1st Place $100,000
2nd Place $80,000
3rd Place $30,000
Nice pennies in return for FAST SWIMMING!
