Marshall broke his own world record in the men’s 50-meter backstroke in 22.73 seconds Wednesday. He set the previous record of 22.75 in October in Durban, South Africa.

Hardy broke her own world record in the women’s 50 breaststroke, finishing in 28.96 in a qualifying heat. She topped her mark of 29.36 set four days ago in Moscow.
