Gator Swimmer .01 seconds from World Record

[MahxFahn]

Gemma Spofforth clocked a 58.78 (.01 off world record) in the 100m backstroke at the world championships

Spofforth set the time in the very first round of the competition, laying down an ominous marker for her opponents ahead of tonight's semi-final. She was the fastest qualifier by over two-tenths of a second, and the only swimmer to dip beneath 59 seconds.
Spofforth made the swim look astonishingly easy, making up for a tardy start with a superb turn after 50m. It seems likely she will go faster still before the competition is over.

GO GATORS!!!
