Day 6 Finals Live Recap Post

The 2022 Short Course World Championships concluded today from Melbourne, Australia. All told over the course of the 6-day competition, a total of 14 World Records were broken, epitomized by the U.S. and Australian men tying for the top prize in the men’s 4x100m medley relay to cap off the final night of the meet.

4 World Junior Records bit the dust over the span of the meet while 23 Championship Records were also overtaken throughout the affair.

With **Ryan Murphy**‘s sweep of the men’s backstroke events, the first swimmer to have ever achieved the feat across any discipline at a World Championships, the U.S. dynamo was named best male of the meet.

Here’s a list of the World Records and World Junior Records that were broken in Melbourne, followed by day 6 results.
