Diann Uustal clobbered the WR in W65-69 200 SCM back this weekend at the South Carolina Championships meet in Columbia, SC*, posting a 2:53 & change**, versus the old mark of 2:55.02, by Margit Ohlsson of Sweden, which was set just this October 1st. Diann narrowly missed WRs in three other events, missing the mark in the 200 free by only 0.04***.
Diann and Margit Ohlsson have quite a duel going on, which should thrill all fans of the sport: They have traded WRs in the 50, 100 & 200 back several times. I don't think this happens all too often in masters swimming, but it is an epic battle and fun to watch! Here is what the world record progressions will look like shortly:
50m Backstroke Women Short Course
OHLSSON Margit SWE 36.58 21-03-2010
UUSTAL Diann USA 35.58 19-03-2011
