The event took place at the World Cup short-course stage in Tashket, Uzbekistan.
Kornev completed the 50-meter distance in 21.28 seconds.

The event occurred on October 10.

Kornev completed the distance in 21.58 seconds, which contradicts all other sources stating 21.28 seconds. — vesti
Kornev finished second in the 50m backstroke event on October 10, with a time of 22.29 seconds, and that Peter Koutze of South Africa set a new world record in that event, which contradicts the other sources and is unrelated to the butterfly event. — vedomosti
Kornev's previous world record was set by an Italian, not a Swiss swimmer, and incorrectly attributes the previous record to an Italian named Noé Ponti. — vm
