Sjöström was the first to touch the pad with a time of 24.63 seconds in the women's 50m butterfly final at the 2024 International Swimming Federation World Championships held in Doha, Qatar on the 18th (Korean time).

The gap with silver medalist Melanie Enique (France, 25.44 seconds) widened by nearly 1 second, and she arrived at the finish line more than 1 second earlier than bronze medalist Farida Osman (Egypt, 25.67 seconds).

Sjöström, who is already over 30 years old and considered a 'sixtieth birthday' for a swimmer, has maintained the top podium in this event at the World Championships six times in a row since reaching the top at the Kazan Games in 2015.

Sjöström, who won his first medal in this competition as a gold medal, won his 23rd medal (13 gold, 7 silver, 3 bronze) at the long course (50m) World Championships.

The only two women to have won six consecutive titles in a single event at the World Championships are Katie Ledecky (USA) and Sjöström in the women's 800m freestyle.

If Sjöström wins the 50m butterfly title at the World Championships to be held in Singapore next year and wins his seventh consecutive gold medal, he will rise to first place in this category.

Sarah Sjöström, who is also the gold medalist in the women's 50m freestyle at the 2022 Budapest and 2023 Fukuoka Games, will aim for her second gold medal of the event in the final of this event to be held on the 19th.

Also, the gold medalist in the women's 100m butterfly at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and the silver medalist in the women's 50m freestyle at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in 2021 will challenge for a medal again at the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics.

The International Swimming Federation's website quoted Benjamin Franklin's famous quote, "Nothing is certain in this world except death and taxes," and described, "If there are three things in life that are certain, they are death, taxes, and Sjöström's victory in the 50m butterfly."

“I don’t know why everyone is saying it looks easy (for me to win),” Sjöström said after the match.

“It’s not easy to win a match that everyone is expecting.

“It might be easy to win once or twice, but I’m proud of myself for winning even under increased pressure,” he said.

A new world champion was born in the men's 50m freestyle.

Vladislav Bukov (21, Ukraine) won the final of this event with a time of 21.44 seconds.
