O'CALLAGHAN -WORLD RECORD- OPENINGS : HONOURS



TORONTO : Australian Mollie O'Callaghan broke the short course 200m freestyle world record for the  second time in a week on Friday, winning in 1 min 49.36 second at the World Cup stop in Toronto.

O' Callaghan sliced 41-hundredths of a second off the world record of 1:49:77 also set in Vermont, Illinois, just six days earlier - a victory that made her the first woman to break 1:50 in the event.

Hungarian Hubert Kos and Canadian Josh Liendo followed up world record swims on Thursday with victories.

One day after posting a world record of 1:45.12 in the 200m backstroke, Kros won the 50m back in 22.57 sec.
