Dutch swimmer Ramoni Kromowidjojo picked up her second gold medal
of the world swimming championships in China on Friday, winning the 50 metres
butterfly in 24.47, just outside the world record.
On Thursday, Kromowidjojo,
took the gold in the 100 metres freestyle.
After Friday’s victory, the
28-year-old said it had been the perfect race. ‘I turned well, it was a good
finish and I was closer to the world record,’ she said. ‘That is always in the
back of my mind.’ The world record of 24.38 was set by Therese Alshammar in
2009.
Today’s victory was Kromowidjojo’s 14th world title but her first in the
butterfly event.
