The 2024 Doha World Aquatics Championship has been delivering sensational performances throughout the last week, and as the action entered the 7th day, history books had to be opened as Dutch swimmers looked in blazing form. While none of the U.S swimmers was part of the 50-meter butterfly, Sarah Sjostrom led the 8-person competition to enter the fastest of all time books once again.

Sarah has won over 21 individual world titles in long course championships, and today at the Doha Worlds, she stamped her authority once again with the 6th 50m butterfly title while also announcing her marriage before diving into the pool.

Sarah Sjostrom takes the Doha World Championship by storm

Sarah Sjostrom was the fastest on the night as she swam in the women’s 50-meter butterfly at the 2024 Doha World Aquatics Championship. She blazed the 50 m distance in 24.63 seconds marking her third-fastest swim in 50 m and all time as well. Melani Henique of France sealed the silver medal in 25.44 seconds while Bronze was taken home by Farida Osman of Egypt. Before winning the 6th 50m butterfly title, Sarah also announced her marriage in front of an excited crowd.

Before she clocked the 3rd best timing of her career, Sarah announced that she was soon going to get married. However, she didn’t announce the name of her fiancee or the date and venue of her wedding. Whether she marries before the Paris Olympics or not is a big question but for now, the 30-year-old will be all smiles celebrating her 6th consecutive 50m title. Sarah producing her 3rd best timing ahead of the Olympics is a good sign for her, and if she keeps herself, the Olympic Gold Medalist may well break her fastest time of 2014.

Sarah is the only woman in history to break the 25-second barrier in the 50-meter butterfly.

Later in 2017, Sarah clocked 24.60 seconds to seal the 2nd fastest position, and today’s swim makes her sweep all three positions. With still a few months left for the Paris extravaganza, can Sarah better her timing by 0.2 seconds to break her own record? Let us know in the comments.
