Israeli national swimmer Anastasia Gorbenko achieved a remarkable feat in the American College Swimming League (CSL) on Friday night, setting an all-time record in the 100-yard individual medley. Competing for the University of Louisville, Gorbenko clocked in at 51.43 seconds, surpassing the previous record of 51.97 seconds set in 2023 by Kate Douglass of the US national team. This significant improvement of 0.54 seconds places Gorbenko among the fastest swimmers ever in the event, appearing twice in the top ten all-time results, at first and fourth place. While this is not an official world record as yard pools are not tracked by the World Aquatics Federation, it marks a major accomplishment for Gorbenko. In addition to her record-breaking performance, Gorbenko also won the 200-yard breaststroke with a personal best and league record, secured victory in the 100-yard breaststroke, and contributed to Louisville's fourth-place finish in the 4x100 medley relay semifinals. The CSL is a new league designed to boost the profile of collegiate swimming in the US, featuring 12 top university teams competing in unique scoring and head-to-head formats, with global broadcasts.
