    Well, if one considered Michael Phelps’s shiny World Record in the 200m fly untouchable, then what about Cesar Cielo’s blast from Rome 2009, 46.91 in a full-body rubber suit which was a premium aide for the sprinters?

    Yesterday, Phelps’ mark was gone, while today Caeleb Dressel rocketed to an amazing win in the 100m free at the FINA World Championships 2019 in Gwangju and almost chased down the WR, clocking 46.96 – just 0.05 shy of the all-time best effort.

    Matthew Wilson achieved a World Record at the FINA World Championships 2019 in Gwangju – though it was ‘just’ equalling one in the 200m breast semis. The Australian clocked the same time of Ippei Watanabe (JPN) from 2017, 2:06.67, but title-holder Anton Chupkov (RUS) was also close (0.16sec away) so a real showdown is due in the final on Friday.

    Japan got its first gold at the FINA World Championships 2019 in Gwangju thanks to Daya Seto who staged a thrilling duel with European champion Jeremy Desplanches of Switzerland.

    The Japanese led from the 100m turn and managed to withstand the pressure from the Swiss while title-holder Chase Kalisz tried to gear up in the second half after having turned 7th but his late surge earned him only the bronze this time.
