Poppy Maskill Surpasses Her Own Record!
On the final day of this year's Singapore Para Swimming Championships, 20-year-old Cheshire-based swimmer Poppy Maskill once again broke her own world record in the Women's S14 100m Butterfly. 👏👏
Her time this time was 1 minute 2.58 seconds! This shattered her previous record of 1 minute 3.00 seconds set in Paris last year, shaving off an impressive 0.42 seconds and making history once again.
What's particularly noteworthy is that she once again surpassed the record she set last year when winning a Paralympic gold medal in Paris. Truly remarkable, isn't it?
Dazzling Performances from Teammates
It wasn't just Maskill's record-breaking performance. Her British teammate, Olivia Newman-Barronius, also swam under the previous record with a time of 1 minute 2.70 seconds, securing a silver medal. She also delivered a fantastic race, going faster than the existing record. The friendship and competition between these two athletes are truly a pleasure to witness!
In the men's S14 100m Butterfly, British swimmer Will Ellard added to the team's joy by winning the gold medal. Furthermore, Brock Whiston secured a silver medal in the Women's SB8 100m Breaststroke, showcasing Great Britain's prowess in swimming.
