Kalia Antoniou was… a real speed demon in the 100-meter freestyle! With a time of 54.90, she not only won her heat but also posted the fastest time among all 21 swimmers in the preliminaries, triumphantly securing her spot in tonight’s final! (7:50 p.m. Cyprus time)
In fact, Kalia was a full second faster than the second-place finisher in the preliminaries, Italy’s Matilde Biagiotti!
