The 2022 Rotterdam Qualification Meet wrapped up today but not before Tes Schouten fired off another Dutch national record.
After already clocking a new national mark in the women’s 200m breast earlier in the meet in a time of 2:23.67, Schouten logged a new personal best of 1:06.09 to take the gold.
21-year-old Schouten first set the stage in the morning heats with an AM time of 1:06.58. That not only landed lane 4 by nearly 3 seconds, but it also overwrote the previous Dutch standard of 1:06.92 from this same meet 2 years ago.
Come tonight’s final, Schouten engaged a new gear to slice even more time off of that newly-minted PB. Opening in 31.44 and closing in 34.65, Schouten ultimately stopped the clock in a big-time Dutch record of 1:06.09 to come close to the 1:06 barrier.
Schouten now ranks as the #1 swimmer in the world in this women’s long course 100m breaststroke, taking the crown from Japan’s Reona Aoki.
