Advertisement Walsh has the seven fastest times in history overall. She is 88 hundredths faster than the second-fastest performer in history, Swede Sarah Sjöström (55.48 from the 2016 Olympics). Walsh took 100m fly silver at the Paris Games, four hundredths behind Torri Huske (who was second on Thursday to join Walsh on the World Championships team in the event).
