American Torri Huske narrowly missed out on a world record in the women's 100m butterfly at the swimming world championships in Budapest on Sunday while her compatriot and seven-times Olympic champion Caeleb Dressel won the 50m butterfly.
Huske was ahead of the world record time in the final 50m but eventually finished with a time of 55.64 seconds - just 0.16 seconds shy.
Dressel, who led the U.S. to the 4x100m freestyle gold on Saturday, powered to victory in the 50m butterfly on the back of a brilliant start, carrying that momentum all the way to the finish with a time of 22.57 seconds. "I definitely had the jitters today, especially in my hotel room, that's when it's the worst. But once I'm on the blocks that's as safe as I feel."
Santos, 42, also became the first swimmer to claim a medal at the world championships after his 40th birthday.In the final race of the day, Alex Walsh gave Americans more reason to cheer when she took gold in the women's 200m individual medley.
