Markus Deibler Drops World Record Swim in 100 IM at Worlds – Video

DOHA – Germany’s Markus Deibler punched the wall in world-record time in the men’s 100 IM at the FINA World Short Course championships. Watch Race Video

Deibler hit the wall in 50.66, nipped Ryan Lochte’s world and meet record of 50.71 from the 2012 edition of the championships.

That’s a big win for Deibler as he had to take down the other two fastest sprint IMers in the world in Lochte and Vlad Morozov. Morozov took second in 50.81, while Lochte wound up third with a 51.24.

Deibler joins recent German world titlists Paul Biedermann (400 free) and Britta Steffen (100 free), who each snagged a victory in 2012 in Istanbul.

That’s Lochte’s record 37th career short course medal. He’s now won 21 golds, nine silvers and seven bronzes, and has earned seven medals this week.

Japan’s Kosuke Hagino, Swimming World’s World Swimmer of the Year, wound up fourth overall in 51.30.

Russia’s Sergey Fesikov (51.35), Brazil’s Henrique Rodrigues (52.20), Japan’s Takuro Fujii (52.26) and Poland’s Marcin Cieslak (52.27) also competed in the finale.
