Elmslie, who regularly lifts her performance for relay swims, clocked 53.77 with McKeon, who had just swum her 100m butterfly semi-final, storming home and nearly catching the USA's Olympic gold medallist in the event Simone Manuel with a split time of 52.29.

She stopped the clock in 56.18sec to claim the national record from Jessicah Schipper (56.23sec), whose time she had equalled in the semi-final.

Australia's most successful swimmer at the Rio Olympics Emma McKeon has stormed home in the last lap of the women's 100m butterfly to steal the silver medal and set a new Commonwealth and Australian record on night two of the 2017 FINA World Championships in Budapest. "I am happy with the two wins and how it all went".

"After last night I might not have looked in pole position, but deep down I knew if I got the start right, I'm in with a shout for the gold medal", he said.

Katinka Hosszu, roared on by her home crowd, held on to secure Hungary's first gold medal at the 2017 world swimming championships after a thrilling women's 200 meters individual medley final on Monday.

"Last night I did half a second quicker on my backend than I've ever done before so, yeah it's definitely helped, even though it is a long way doing butterfly".

"It was a great race to be part of and I'm just proud everyone that they stepped up". "I might come over next year and do some more of this kind of racing because it's definitely helped me this year".

Fu Yuanhui, a humorous Chinese female swimmer, might expect huge disappointment as she could not make into the final of 100m backstroke.

Seebohm, from Brisbane, has been competing with a respiratory infection this week but has not let it interfere with her performance. I was just getting over sickness, but it's all good, we made it to the start line, and I'm really proud of how everyone swam.

"There's nothing I can change about what she's doing, it's all about what I can do better and I know I can go that 58.2 and I'd love to go a PB and it will be a really exciting race tomorrow".

Shi Jinglin made into the women's 100m breaststroke final with her fifth ranking.

With Katie Ledecky taking the night off, Adam Peaty and Sarah Sjostrom shared the spotlight Monday at the world championships.

"It's something that I've done 100 times before and nothing really phases me", she said.

Top qualifier for the event was Sweden's Sarah Sjostrom in 55.77 with the USA's Kelsi Worrell (56.74) and Japans Rikako Ikee (56.89) moving through as third and fourth fastest respectively.

"I would have liked to sneak under 53 but I was much better tonight, much sharper and I think with another 24 hours rest, fingers crossed, sharper again", Larkin said.

After qualifying third fastest from the heats, Titmus backed up bravely and managed to repeat her personal best effort from the morning, clocking the exact same time in the final.

Britain's Duncan Scott checks his time after a men's 200m freestyle semi-final.

It was almost a second slower than her world-record performance at the Rio Olympics last summer, but enough to hold off hard-charging Yui Ohashi of Japan, who settled for silver in 2:07.91.

"I've a few more 57 races to get down to 56, but I'm just going to follow that curve now and see where I can go", he said.

"I've never really raced that event internationally, so that is a massive learning experience".

Sjostrom first won the 100m butterfly title as a 15-year-old at the 2009 championships in Rome.

The 22-year-old Englishman is shaping as one of the stars of the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games next April.

That was just 0.05 seconds off her gold-medal triumph at Rio.
