Tai maintains stellar record with fourth gold in Italy

Tokyo 2021

Alice Tai claimed her fourth title of the weekend in the women’s 100m butterfly at the Ligano Sabbiadoro World Para Swimming World Series meet.

After qualifying in first-place overall in the morning session, Tai improved on her performance with a time of 1.09.35 in the mixed-class final, which secured her 954 points.

Italian swimmer Carlotta Gilli came close to toppling Tai, finishing only nine points behind her on 946, while her compatriot Alessia Berra completed the podium scoring 873 points.

The result rounded off a stellar weekend for Tai who sealed the 100m freestyle title on Thursday, claimed the 100m backstroke crown on Friday and headed a British one-two in the 50m freestyle on Saturday.
