Gretchen Walsh clinched the first individual long course swimming world title of her career after storming to women’s 100m butterfly gold at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships on Monday, 28 July.
The 22-year-old American walked away with a remarkable seven golds at last year’s short course world championships in Budapest, and the two-time Olympic champion is off to a flier in Singapore.
Walsh, who won 4×100m medley gold at 2023 Fukuoka, raced to gold in 54.73 seconds, a championship record that is also the second-fastest 100m butterfly time in history. She broke the world record twice herself in May.
