Answer
Rebecca Soni held the world record in the 100-meter breaststroke. She set the record at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, with a time of 1:04.84. This record stood for over six years until it was broken by Lithuania's Rūta Meilutytė in 2014. Soni's record is still the American record and the second-fastest time ever recorded in the event.
