BARCELONA: Russia's Yuliya Efimova broke the women's 50m breaststroke world record on Saturday morning, the fourth record to fall at these world swimming championships in Barcelona.
Having won the world 200m breaststroke title on Friday night, the 21-year-old Efimova clocked 29.78secs in the morning's 50m heats at Barcelona's Palau Sant Jordi pool, shaving just two hundredths of a second off the four-year-old record set by Jessica Hardy of the USA.
