American Kate Douglass took back the world record in the 50m freestyle from training partner Gretchen Walsh in the preliminary heats, then broke it again — crushed it — in the evening final at the Pan Pacific Championships on Saturday.
Douglass, the Olympic 200m **** troke gold medalist, clocked 23.49 seconds in the prelims Irvine, California, breaking the record of 23.55 set by Walsh on June 28.
Then in the final, she went 23.19 — breaking her hours-old record by three tenths of a second.
Douglass previously held the world record of 23.59 set June 19, holding it for nine days before Walsh took it.
