Sweden's Sarah Sjostrom clocked a world-record 51.71 seconds for her leg of the women's 4x100m freestyle relay final at the World Aquatics Championships on Sunday, but her team was only able to finish fifth.
Sjostrom became the first woman to swim under 52 seconds, beating the previous record of 52.06 sec set by Australia's Cate Campbell in 2016.
It was the only world record to fall on the opening day of the swimming competition in Budapest.
