Brazil eliminated all controversy from the world\u2019s top time in the men\u2019s 200-meter medley relay with a world record in the event at the FINA World Short Course Championships.<\/p>\n

The foursome of Guilherme Guido (23.42), Felipe Silva (25.33), Nicholas Santos (21.68) and Cesar Cielo (20.08) blasted through the 1:31 barrier with a winning time of 1:30.51.<\/p>\n

Not only did that swim destroy Russia\u2019s world record of 1:32.78 from prelims, it also beat the unrecognized world best of 1:31.80 set by Russia back in 2009.<\/p>\n

FINA began recognizing this event with an official world record last year, but did not elect to use the fastest time ever legally swum in the event. \u00a0So, there was some confusion regarding the event until Brazil unified the world record and world best today.<\/p>\n

France\u2019s Ben Stasiulis (23.41), Giacomo Perez-Dortona (25.74), Mehdy Metella (22.06) and Florent Manaudou (20.04) also cleared the previous world best with a 1:31.25 for silver.<\/p>\n

Team USA\u2019s Eugene Godsoe (23.11), Cody Miller (26.04), Tom Shields (21.99) and Josh Schneider (20.69) demolished the American record with a bronze-winning time of 1:31.83. \u00a0That swim crushed the mark of 1:33.25 set this morning in prelims.<\/p>\n

Russia (1:32.15), Great Britain (1:32.30), Italy (1:32.68), Lithuania (1:34.35) and South Africa (1:35.05) also competed in the finale.<\/p>\n
