Swimming’s Premier Event Just Got Even Faster | The Swim Scribe

The menโ€™s 100 freestyle has EXPLODED over the last few years, weโ€™ve seen times that seemed UNTHINKABLE less than five years ago over and over. And maybe the more striking thing is the absurd DEPTH this event has found on the global stage, because there always seems to be MULTIPLE swimmers pushing the barriers of this event now. This is something that is best illustrated right now in the short course version of the event, where the world record that was JUST tied not that long ago was recently SMASHED, and even then the new world record holder in the event is still going to have to fight to defend his world title in December during short course worlds.
