Breaking: Para Wonder girl Alex Leary Breaks S9 100m Freestyle World Record Twice In The One Day In Sydney
Paralympic wonder girl Alexa Leary has turned up the world record heat in Sydney today breaking the S9 100m freestyle world record, not once but twice on the third and final day of the 2025 Sydney Open and Uni Nationals Meet.
The 23-year-old two-time Paris Paralympic gold medallist from Bond University on the Queensland Gold Coast, broke her second and third world records of the meet, first up clocking 59.07 secs in the heats, to take 0.15 secs of her own world mark of 59.22, set at last month’s Australian Open Meet.
Before taking her special turn of speed into unchartered waters again, dropping the WR to 58.89 secs in tonight’s 100m Multi-Class final at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre.
Today’s world record double coming just 24 hours after yesterday’s blistering 27.23 secs in the 50m freestyle, that eclipsed the previous mark of 27.25 set by the USA’s Christie Raleigh Crossley during the heats of the S9 50m freestyle at last year’s Paris Paralympic Games.
