Font size

After coming close to breaking the 100m backstroke long course record at the Commonwealth Games, South Africa's Pieter Coetze set his first career world record in Tashkent at the World Cup, swimming 22.09 in the 50m backstroke. This time surpasses Kliment Kolesnikov's 22.11 from 2022.

"Seeing the time on the board, I didn't even realize it was a world record," Coetze said. "And then, a second later, I thought... 'the world record was 22.1.' So.. there aren't many words to describe it. It's crazy."
