Kearney breaks a 20 year old record! 😱😎 | Women's 200m Freestyle S5 - Final| Paralympic Games

2019 it's a long-standing world record which has stood since the year 2000 to beatrice hess of france telekine and monica boggioni finish within five one hundreds of a second of each other in the qualification heats but they were pretty confident of qualification so i expect both of them to go faster in the final tonight until they carry starting from the water the other starting from the block good reaction time there from kelly kearney to see that white cat of great britain going well early here expected to start quickly she's got a reputation for going out quickly she did in tokyo at the paralympic games she was under world record pace at the hundred meter mark she's going very strongly here down that first 50 meters she will be leading as they come into this turn monica boggioni of italy swims her own race comes back strongly but she won't want to get keaney get too far away no tilly kenny gone out fast again she's a underworld record based in the early stages that long standing world record which has stood since the year 2000 and tully kearney looking really really smooth in these early stages just coming down to the halfway point boggioni clear in second position is the japanese swimmer maori u in third with elizabeth noriega close behind in fourth but tilly kearney already lives there's clear water between her and the rest of the field yeah she's shown so much strength in the sprint event already this week and she's gone over there in 116.72 she is under the world record pace she's looking very strong here and now the question will be can she hold on to bring it home the italian monica boggioni in a solid second position and now at the halfway point mariuli of japan has pulled away to put some space between her and elizabeth norrega of argentina in third and fourth positions it's all getting very spread out here as telekine comes up to the final turn of this 200 meters freestyle the world record came off a split of 201.52 so see how far telekinesis inside of that two seconds inside the world record pace for tully kearney yeah tully kearney will work hard down this final 50 meters she will have she's got the endurance we've she know we know she's got the speed she paid the price in tokyo so she will have learned so much for that and she's looking strong no question here that she's gonna take the gold medal for great britain but can she take that world record as well well the world record has stood since the year 2000 the sydney paralympic games it stands at 244.61 terry kearney is going to take another gold here in madeira and she is going to be well inside that record time 242.36 the long-standing world record has gone tally keaney has claimed it she has knocked two seconds off the old mark monica boccioni comes home for silver for italy it could be bronze now for japan just coming into the last 10 meters now is maori ue the japanese swimmer claiming another medal here at these world championships for the japanese team and for herself in that time of 3 12.11 but there is a smile of tilly kearney she absolutely dominated that one from the front place and right from the off the world record was armed well we said we knew she had that speed she learned how to pace that after a tokyo experience when she just got pipped into the finish didn't make that mistake again came back really really strongly and monica bonnie rojoni of italy she's punching the air because she's gone the best time as well great swimming there burning leading from the front porcioni had no answer to the power of tully kearney she did all she could in 254.20 before the italian excellent time for her second faster than she went in the tokyo paralympic games last year an excellent race there well paced slower than she went out in tokyo last year and she that meant that she had enough in the tank for the closing stages she got away really well tully straight from that starting signal her reaction time was great and she was up and into the fast stroke she wanted to put some space between her and boggioni and then really work that second hundred and the race plan obviously paid off as she said paul going out slightly slower than she did in tokyo she got really excited down that first hundred meters in tokyo and paid the price in the latter stages of the race but not today just holding back off that first half of the race meant that she had the strength to come through and power through at the end well it's one of the longest standing world records on the books of world power swimming and it is now gone tally kearney takes the title in a new world record time ahead of italy's monica borgeone and japan's maori you
