World Swimming Championships: Srihari Nataraj breaks own national record

The Hindu  

Srihari Nataraj broke his own 200m backstroke national record in the heats at the World Swimming Championships in Gwangju, South Korea, on Thursday. Earlier, American Caeleb Dressel swam the second-fastest 100m freestyle in history to retain his world title as China lashed out at the anti-doping protests targeting Olympic star Sun Yang. Dressel, 22, clocked a jaw-dropping 46.96 seconds in Gwangju, pipping Olympic champion Kyle Chalmers to win swimming's blue riband event in swashbuckling style. Meanwhile, Australian Matt Wilson tied the men's 200m breaststroke world record to underline his title credentials, before Australia set a new world mark in the women's 4x200m free.
