Australian swimmer Mollie O’Callaghan picked up a knee injury about five weeks ago, described as anything from a dislocation to a simple tweak. The 19-year-old O’Callaghan broke the world record on Wednesday in the 200-meter freestyle at the world championships, clocking 1 minute, 52.85 seconds to erase Federica Pellegrini’s mark of 1:52.98 — the oldest women's record set in 2009 in the fast-suit era. “I'm just really shocked,” O'Callaghan said.

American 16-year-old Thomas Heilman finished just off the podium, clocking a huge new lifetime best of 1:53.82.

The 26-year-old won her 15th individual world title as she dominated the 1,500-meter freestyle at the world championships in Fukuoka, Japan.
