WC Tashkent Night 3 - Kornev WR again! Coetze 48.21 2nd all time

🎙️ Tashkent Night 3 — KORNEV WORLD RECORD! Coetze Almost Does It Again! 🇺🇿🔥

What a way to finish the Tashkent leg of the 2026 Swimming World Cup! Egor Kornev steals the headlines with a sensational 21.28 WORLD RECORD in the 50 butterfly, taking down Noè Ponti’s mark with an extraordinary display of underwater speed. Bobby breaks down the performance, including that explosive 9.60 opening 25 metres, and shares his perspective from calling the race live.

Just 24 hours after his own world record in the 50 backstroke, Pieter Coetze produces another remarkable swim, clocking 48.21 in the 100 backstroke, an African record and just 0.05 outside the world record! Meanwhile, Marrit Steenbergen continues her incredible World Cup campaign with a 50.32 European record in the 100 freestyle, putting herself in a commanding position heading into Astana.

Plus, Luke Barr takes down Caspar Corbeau again in the 200 breaststroke, Taylor Ruck turns the tables on Anna Peplowski, and Yu Yiting, Roos Vanotterdijk and Carson Foster continue their winning ways.

Two stops down, one to go! With World Cup Crowns, major prize money and overall titles on the line, Bobby looks ahead to the final stop in Astana, Kazakhstan, and the race towards the World Short Course Championships in Beijing.
