SINGAPORE'S swimming sensation Tao Li took the gold in the women's 100m butterfly at the Fina/Arena World Cup Stockholm leg on Tuesday.

The dimunitive 18-year-old clocked 56.87sec, ahead of Denmark's Jeanette Ottesen (57.46) and Petra Granlund (57.78), to win Singapore's second-ever Fina/Arena World Cup gold medal.

Earlier this month, Tao Li took gold in the Singapore leg of this same event.

This victory was her fifth consecutive podium finish since her World Cup campaign kicked off in Singapore.

She will be looking to extend that run when she competes in the 50m butterfly event later on Wednesday.
