After coming extremely close in the semifinals, Candian backstroke star Kylie Masse took down the World Record in tonight’s women’s 100 back final. Masse surged through the back half to finish in 58.10, taking down Olympic silver medalist Kathleen Baker (58.58) of the USA and 2015 World Champion Emily Seebohm (58.59) of Australia.
Masse’s 100 Back World Record Splits:
- 1st 50 Split- 28.51
- 2nd 50 Split- 29.59
- Final Time- 58.10
Masse took it out in 28.51 and trailed both Baker and Seebohm through the halfway point, but she blew by them with a 29.59 closing split. With that, she took .02 off the former World Record of 58.12 set by Great Britain’s Gemma Spofforth at the 2009 World Championships.

Notice Masses’s finish. Doesn’t dive down, goes straight in. Smart
Rowdy: “Boy, Kylie Masse has just, one amazing start. It may be the best start, male or female, in the world…”
Reality: Kyle isn’t first out of the breakout. Not trying to take away from Masse, she had a SUPERB swim, just…Rowdy what are you saying???
get used to that lol
he gets really hung up on reaction time..
Congratulations Kylie!!! Man what a deadly second lap…hope she breaks :58 on the relay
Me too. Last year in Rio she set a Canadian record swimming on the relay so it’s very possible
“Six little Injuns all alive,
One kicked the bucket and then there were five;”
One “rubber suit” record less. Congratulations Kylie!
