Northern Ireland swimmer Bethany Firth sets a new S14 world record in the women’s 100m backstroke. Both BBC Sport and Yahoo Sports report that Firth breaks her own previous mark at the Dutch National Championships in Eindhoven. The result comes as she improves on the time she has already held for the S14 classification, which is for swimmers with intellectual impairments. The sources agree that the record is achieved during competition at the event in the Netherlands, rather than in a separate meet or exhibition. With the swim, Firth extends her record in the S14 100m backstroke, confirming continued progress against the existing world standard she previously established. The reports do not add additional context such as her exact finishing time, margin of victory, or whether this performance qualifies her for a specific upcoming championship, focusing instead on the record-breaking achievement itself.
