Description
Italy’s Sara Curtis has put on a show in front of her home crowd by breaking her 2nd Italian record of the meet, this time in the 100 back. Her first national record came from the 50 back last night, where she broke the overall European record and posted the 5th fastest time in history in 27.07.
Tonight, Curtis dipped below the 53 barrier for the first time in her career, and has now taken off a total of 0.49 seconds from the standard that the previous Italian record holder, Federica Pellegrini, set. Curtis is now in a three-way tie with Pernille Blume and Femke Heemskerk for the #19 fastest performer in history.
