BUDAPEST — The assault on short-course swimming world records continued Saturday as Gretchen Walsh added two more to take her tally for the week to eight, while Jordan Crooks broke one record twice in the day and Summer McIntosh claimed a third and Noe Ponti a second mark of the week.
By the end of the fifth day of the World Championships in Budapest, 24 records had fallen. Each record brings a 25,000 dollar (23,800 euro) bonus cheque from World Aquatics. Walsh has been cleaning up — although one record was in an American relay team.
