Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania set her second world record in as many days in the women’s 50m breaststroke, powering to the gold medal in a superb time of 29.16 seconds on the final day of swimming action at the World Aquatics Championships.
Meilutyte obliterated the record of 29.30s that she had jointly held with Benedetta Pilato of Italy, after setting that mark in the semi-finals on Saturday and she sent out a warning to her rivals ahead of next year’s Paris Olympics.
