The 25-year-old admitted she was nervous before the final, but shook it off to perform exactly as she wanted.<\/p>\n

"I'm really proud of myself for that race, it was all about execution, and I did exactly what I was looking for tonight," she said.<\/p>\n

"It's always special to stand on the podium for my country \u2013 my main focus is Paris and coming here, I wanted to race as much as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"That was race number 10 \u2013 and I have the 50 and then relays.<\/p>\n

"This experience was about embracing as much as I can. That was a quality field and now I'll warm down, get a massage, and start focusing on the 50m."<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Cameron McEvoy is on track to defend his 50m freestyle crown. He clocked a 21.23 in his semi final \u2013 barely two tenths outside Brazilian Cesar Cielo's world record.<\/p>\n

The Aussie will enter Saturday night's final as top seed. He will be joined in the final by fellow Aussie Isaac Cooper, who qualified seventh, touching in 21.74 seconds.<\/p>\n

\"Men<\/p>\n

Ukraine's Vladyslav Bukhov qualified second fastest (21.38) and Great Britain's Ben Proud third (21.54).<\/p>\n

In the women's 200m backstroke semi-final, Jaclyn Barclay touched at 2:08.85 to slash two seconds off her heat time to qualify second behind American Claire Curzan (2:07.01).<\/p>\n

Curzan will aim to become the second woman to sweep the individual backstroke events at a long-course World Championships. Kaylee McKeown \u2013 who is one of a string of athletes who elected to skip Doha the meet to focus on Paris 2024 preparations \u2013 was the first to do it last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
