Gretchen Walsh made waves at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials by setting a new world record in the women's 100-meter butterfly event. During a semifinal heat, Walsh clocked an impressive time of 55.18 seconds, surpassing the previous record of 55.48 set by Sweden's Sarah Sjöström at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
Walsh demonstrated exceptional speed and determination, being more than half a second ahead of world-record pace at the halfway mark. Despite feeling the intensity of the race, she managed to maintain her pace and touch the wall in record-breaking time.
