  "account": "Canadian swimmer Taylor Ruck narrowly missed securing the gold medal in the women's 50-metre freestyle at the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup in Uzbekistan on Thursday. Ruck, a 26-year-old from Kelowna, B.C., finished the race second with a time of 23.68 seconds, just five hundredths of a second shy of Poland's Kasia Wasick. Wasick has not been defeated in a short-course race of this event since December 2022. Finlay Knox of Okotoks, Alta., claimed the third position in the men's 100-metre individual medley with a time of 51.65 seconds. Cameron McEvoy from Australia set a World Cup record of 20.13 seconds in the men's 50-metre freestyle, marking the second-fastest swim ever recorded.",
