Instead, we are in a competition lull and hopeful that the Games will be held next summer, with COVID-19 neutralized.<\/p>\n<p>As we reach the nine days over which the swimming competition of a delayed Olympiad would have taken place, Swimming World is taking a glimpse at what might have unfolded this summer, had the Olympics not been postponed. Following the official schedule, we offer our virtual fields of eight finalists for each event and take a brief look at how the racing might have panned out until a few strokes away from decision and a result that will not be known until July\/August 2021.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/league-of-olympic-swim-legends-ian-thorpe-tops-400-free-podium-with-rose-salnikov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">League of Olympic Legends: Ian Thorpe Tops 400 Free Podium With Rose &amp; Salnikov<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Event:<\/strong> Men\u2019s 400m freestyle<br \/>\n<strong>World Record:<\/strong> Paul Biedermann (3:40.07) &#8211; 2009<\/p>\n<p><strong>Historical Note #1:<\/strong> Defending champion Australia\u2019s <strong>Murray Rose <\/strong>and silver medallist from Melbourne in 1956 Japan\u2019s <strong>Tsuyoshi Yamanaka<\/strong>\u00a0had to contend with a new player in American <strong>Alan Somers<\/strong> who set a new Olympic record in the heats in Rome in 1960.

Rose set a new Olympic record of 4:18.3 with the exact same distance separating gold and silver in Rome as it did in Melbourne.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Historical Note #2:<\/strong> American heartthrob <strong>Buster Crabbe <\/strong>first appeared in the Olympics in Amsterdam in 1928 when he finished fourth behind Argentina\u2019s <strong>Alberto Zorrilla<\/strong> in the 400m freestyle. But fast forward four years and Crabbe was the talk of the town when the Games came to Los Angeles, where not only an Olympic champion was born but also a Hollywood star. Crabbe came from behind to out-touch Frenchman <strong>Jean Taris<\/strong> by just one tenth of a second to snatch the gold medal. And he also attracted the attention of Hollywood producers who would later cast Crabbe, who would go on to great fame in acting roles as Tarzan, Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. \u201cThat one-tenth of a second changed my life,\u201d Crabbe later recalled. \u201cIt was then that the Hollywood producers discovered latent histrionic abilities in me.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Virtual Vision<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>The Finalists (Listed Alphabetically)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gabriele Detti \u2013 Italy<\/li>\n<li>Marco De Tullio &#8211; Italy<\/li>\n<li>Zane Grothe &#8211; USA<\/li>\n<li>Mack Horton &#8211; Australia<\/li>\n<li>Aleksandr Krasnykh &#8211; Russia<\/li>\n<li>Jack McLoughlin &#8211; Australia<\/li>\n<li>Danas Rapsys &#8211; Lithuania<\/li>\n<li>Ji Xinjie &#8211; China<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The Race<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The absence of <strong>Sun Yang<\/strong> from this field opens the door for defending champion <strong>Mack Horton <\/strong>from Australia to go back-to-back for the first time since countryman <strong>Ian Thorpe<\/strong> in 2000 and 2004 and presents Russia\u2019s <strong>Aleksandr Krasnykh<\/strong> a place in the top eight.<\/p>\n<p>From the start it was obvious that Lithuanian <strong>Danas Rapsys<\/strong> was determined to use his speed to try and steal this race from the early stages, with Australia\u2019s <strong>Jack McLoughlin<\/strong> looking to keep in touch, along with Horton.\u00a0As the field approached the 100m mark it was actually McLoughlin from Rapsys and American <strong>Zane Grothe<\/strong> who were the early pace setters.<\/p>\n<p>Horton looked to be making a move now and with the Italian boys<strong> Gabriele Detti<\/strong> and <strong>Marco de Tullio<\/strong> also possessing strong back ends, they looked to keep Horton in their sights.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_382480\" style=\"width: 509px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-382480\" data-attachment-id=\"382480\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/tokyo-vision-mack-horton-looks-to-go-back-to-back-in-400-freestyle\/danas-rapsys-200-free-final-fina-world-championships-7\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/danas-rapsys-200-free-final-fina-world-championships-7.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1800,1202\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;ILCE-7SM2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1563854952&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.000625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"danas-rapsys-200-free-final-fina-world-championships-7\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;8\/19\/19&lt;br \/&gt;\ndanas-rapsys-200-free-final-fina-world-championships-7&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Becca Wyant&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/danas-rapsys-200-free-final-fina-world-championships-7-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/danas-rapsys-200-free-final-fina-world-championships-7-1024x684.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-382480\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/danas-rapsys-200-free-final-fina-world-championships-7-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"danas-rapsys-200-free-final-fina-world-championships-7\" width=\"499\" height=\"356\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-382480\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">MAKING A POINT: Can Lithuania&#8217;s Danas Rapsys become the first Lithuanian male to win Olympic swimming gold.
