Just days after breaking a 12-year-old Mare Nostrum record, Siobhan Haughey lowered the record even further as she swam a 1:54.53 in the 200 freestyle. Her swim at the Barcelona stop of a 1:54.57 broke the record of a 1:54.66 set in 2012 by France’s Camille Muffat. Haughey has consistently improved in the event at the three Mare Nostrum stops.

Today, Haughey finished ahead of Great Britain’s Freya Anderson who swam a season best time of a 1:58.45, faster than her old season best of a 1:58.75 from November 2023.

Split Comparison:

The biggest eye-opening split of today was her closing 50 as she charged home in a 28.90, her fastest final 50 of any of her swims above. Her final 50 was also faster than her 2nd 50 today.

Haughey currently sits at #3 in the World so far this season with a 1:54.08 from the World Cup stop in Budapest last fall. She looks to make the Olympic podium in the event once again as she was 2nd in the event at the 2020(1) Tokyo Games in a 1:53.92 which still stands as her personal best.

Since Tokyo, she just missed the podium in the event at 2023 Worlds as she was 4th in a 1:53.96. She won the World title in the event this past February at 2024 Worlds in a 1:54.89.
