Record-Book Assault: Men\u2019s World Marks in Danger at the Tokyo Olympics<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s competition at the Tokyo Olympics, a handful of world records could be broken<\/a>, but there are no records that are guaranteed to be gone. In the men\u2019s events, however, expect to see a massive rewriting of the record books.<\/p>\n

While most women\u2019s events feature the current world-record holder, just five men\u2019s events will boast history\u2019s top performer. However, the men\u2019s meet will feature three of swimming\u2019s established stars, all considered heavy favorites for gold medals, all who have been pointing toward a peak at these Games, and that could bring about historic performances on a near-daily basis. It would not be at all surprising for six or maybe more world records to go down.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the records we should be on watch for.<\/p>\n

100 Breaststroke:<\/strong> This one is all about Adam<\/strong> Peaty<\/strong>. He has already been a 56 (at the 2019 World Championships)<\/a>, and after winning Olympic gold in 2016 and three straight world titles (the last two in utterly dominant fashion), he is an established big race performer. The world has closed the gap slightly on Peaty as Arno Kamminga<\/strong> became the second man to swim a 57-second 100 breast earlier this year<\/a>, and swimmers like Michael<\/strong>\u00a0Andrew<\/strong> and Nicolo Martinenghi<\/strong> are on the verge of such efforts, but look for Peaty to deliver another masterful, signature performance under his current world record of 56.88<\/p>\n

200 Butterfly:<\/strong> Two years after Kristof Milak<\/strong> posted the swim of a lifetime by breaking Michael Phelps\u2019<\/strong> 200 fly world record at the World Championships<\/a>, Milak has already surpassed Phelps\u2019 previous mark twice this year. His record is 1:50.73, and he swam a 1:51.40 in March<\/a> followed by a 1:51.10 in May<\/a>. This is insane to consider, but we could be talking about a 1:49 performance in Tokyo if all the cards fall perfectly. No question Milak is lowering that record again.<\/p>\n

100 Butterfly: Caeleb Dressel<\/strong> put a scare into his own 100 fly world record (49.50)<\/a> at Olympic Trials<\/a>, and that meet was clearly a preview of the performance he will put on in Tokyo. The Games are set to be a showcase event for him with the world watching, and the 100 fly will be an opportunity for him to lower the only long course world record he already owns. Milak should be able to push Dressel and get down under 50 seconds as well, but Dressel should be a 49-low.<\/p>\n

50<\/strong> & 100<\/strong> Freestyle:<\/strong> The world records in this event are from the supersuit era of 2009, 20.91 in the 50 free and 46.91 in the 100 free, both held by Brazil\u2019s Cesar<\/strong> Cielo<\/strong>. Dressel has been inching closer to these marks for years. He swam a 46.96 to win the 100 free at the 2019 World Championships<\/a>, just 0.05 off Cielo\u2019s record, and he swam a 21.04 50 free at both the 2019 Worlds<\/a> and at Olympic Trials<\/a> last month. Dressel breaking these long-standing records looks like an inevitability, and even though Dressel\u2019s competition in the 100 free looks strong<\/a>, the Tokyo Olympics are a perfect opportunity.<\/p>\n

200 Breaststroke:<\/strong> The last race where it\u2019s really hard to not see the world record going down is the men\u2019s 200 breast, where Australia\u2019s Zac Stubblety-Cook<\/strong> (2:06.28)<\/a> and Japan\u2019s Shoma Sato<\/strong> (2:06.40)<\/a> have both barely missed Anton Chupkov\u2019s<\/strong> world record of 2:06.12<\/a> already this year. Russia\u2019s Chupkov is the two-time defending world champion in the 200 breast, and he possesses the best finishing speed ever seen in a breaststroke race, but he will have his hands full as three men push each other to new heights. While a 2:06 had never been touched at the time of the last Olympics, it could take a 2:05 to win gold.<\/p>\n

100 Backstroke:<\/strong> This event does not fall into the \u201cyes, absolutely\u201d category of world records in danger at the Olympics, but it\u2019s certainly a possibility. The Rio Olympics were the site of Ryan Murphy\u2019s<\/strong> current 100 back world record, a 51.85 set leading off the U.S. men\u2019s 400 medley relay, and Murphy looked strong at U.S. Olympic Trials. Russians Kliment Kolesnikov<\/strong> and Evgeny Rylov<\/strong> have pushed the 52-second barrier this year, and China\u2019s Xu Jiayu<\/strong> is the two-time defending world champion and second-fastest performer ever. This group could push themselves to a new world record.<\/p>\n

200 Individual Medley:<\/strong> Twice at U.S. Olympic Trials, Michael Andrew<\/strong> was more than a second under world-record pace at the 150-meter mark of his 200 IM, only to fade badly down the stretch on the freestyle leg. His best time is 1:55.26, more than a second off Ryan Lochte\u2019s<\/strong> world record of 1:54.00. That mark is probably safe in Tokyo<\/a>, but if Andrew figures out how to finish while holding his early speed, the record is toast.<\/p>\n

1500 Freestyle:<\/strong> Probably another longshot, but defending Olympic gold medalist Gregorio Paltrinieri<\/strong> swam the second-fastest time in history in 2020. Paltrinieri, Florian Wellbrock<\/strong> and Mykhailo Romanchuk<\/strong> have pushed each other to some very swift mile times over the past three years, and while Paltrinieri has battled mononucleosis recently<\/a>, maybe one out of this trio can drop the hammer and make a run at Sun Yang\u2019s world record of 14:31.02 from the London Olympics.<\/p>\n

The rest:<\/strong> That was nine out of 14 individual men\u2019s events with at least an outside chance at a world record, and records are probable in six of those. The remaining five events? Highly unlikely. No one has come within two seconds of Phelps\u2019 legendary 400 IM world record of 4:03.84 in nine years, and the four other records that remain from the infamous 2009 super-suit era have never been scared. That list includes two Paul Biedermann<\/strong> records (1:42.00 in the 200 free and 3:40.07 in the 400 free), Zhang Lin\u2019s<\/strong> stunning 7:32.12 in the 800 free and Aaron Peirsol\u2019s<\/strong> 1:51.92 in the 200 back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
