To celebrate what went down in the Japanese capital, Swimming World is revisiting the championship finals \u2013 each on their one-year anniversary \u2013 by once again running the stories that were posted after the medals were decided.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Since 2017, no one in the world has been able to topple him. Not at the European Championships. Not at the World Championships. And now, not at the Olympic Games.<\/p>\n<p>Call <strong>Evgeny Rylov<\/strong> the Tsar of the 200-meter backstroke, although his victory did not come without some controversy.<\/p>\n<p>Completing a sweep of the backstroke events, Rylov blasted the field in his prime event at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre on Friday morning. Leading wire to wire, Rylov registered an Olympic-record time of 1:53.27 to beat reigning champion <strong>Ryan Murphy<\/strong> of the United States. Murphy checked in with a time of 1:54.15, which handed him the silver medal comfortably ahead of Great Britain&#8217;s <strong>Luke<\/strong> <strong>Greenbank<\/strong> (1:54.72) in the bronze-medal position. American Bryce Mefford was fourth in 1:55.49.<\/p>\n<p>After the race, Murphy and Greenbank declared beliefs they are competing against athletes who are using performance-enhancing drugs. Although they did not refer to Russia or Rylov by name, Murphy and Greenbank referenced the decision by the International Olympic Committee to allow Russian athletes to compete in Tokyo, despite the fact that the nation was found to operate a systematic-doping program. The penalty levied against Russia was for it to be recognized as the Russian Olympic Committee and for its flag and national anthem to not be used during medals ceremonies.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to finishing behind a Russian in the 200 backstroke, Murphy was the bronze medalist behind Rylov and Russian <strong>Kliment<\/strong> <strong>Kolesnikov<\/strong> in the 100 backstroke.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve got about 15 thoughts,&#8221; Murphy said, when asked if he thought the race was fair. &#8220;Thirteen of them would get me into a lot of trouble. It is what it is. I try not to get caught up in that. It is a huge mental drain on me to go throughout the year that I\u2019m swimming in a race that\u2019s probably not clean, and that is what it is. The people that know a lot more about the situation made the decision they did. It frustrates me, but I have to swim the field that\u2019s next to me. I don\u2019t have the bandwidth to train for the Olympics at a very high level and try to lobby the people who are making the decisions that they\u2019re making the wrong decisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be clear, my intention is not to make any allegations here. Congratulations to Evgeny and Luke. I think they did an incredible job. They\u2019re both very talented swimmers. They both work really hard, got great technique. At the end of the day, I do believe there\u2019s doping in swimming. That is what it is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Greenbank, who has surged up the world rankings over the past couple of years, echoed Murphy&#8217;s sentiments. Both men couldn&#8217;t help wonder if they should have stood on a higher step of the podium and have a medal of a different color for their efforts. Although Rylov has never tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs, the actions of the Russian system place question marks around his efforts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s obviously a very difficult situation not knowing whether who you are racing against is clean,&#8221; Greenbank said. &#8220;It is something that is part of sports and (international federations) need to tackle that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The notion that Rylov was beatable in the four-lap event evaporated earlier in the week, when he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/olympics-evgeny-rylov-headlines-russian-dominance-in-100-backstroke-as-u-s-streak-snapped\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">took home Olympic gold in the 100 backstroke<\/a>. Although the Russian is a well-established force over both the 100- and 200-meter distances, there is no question he is a greater presence in the longer event. So, with victory stashed away in the shorter distance, his quest for a sweep became a formality.<\/p>\n<p>Rylov became the seventh man to sweep the backstrokes at the Olympic Games, joining a list that includes legends <strong>Roland<\/strong> <strong>Matthes<\/strong>, <strong>John Naber<\/strong> and <strong>Aaron Peirsol<\/strong>. Murphy accomplished the feat five years ago at the Rio Games, and has added two more medals in Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>By triumphing in both backstroke events, Rylov snapped a pair of six-Games winning streaks by the United States. Entering <a href=\"https:\/\/tokyo2020.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tokyo<\/a>, the last time an American did not win the 100 backstroke and 200 backstroke was 1992. Rylov was simply too much, exhibiting a combination of speed and endurance that have made him the undisputed No. 1 performer in his stroke. Still, it is what he has done in the 200 backstroke which is most impressive.<\/p>\n<p>Since earning the bronze medal in the 200 back at the 2016 Olympics, where he finished behind Murphy and Australia&#8217;s <strong>Mitch Larkin<\/strong>, Rylov has won a pair of world titles (2017\/2019) and a pair of European crowns (2018\/2020). A gold medal from the 2018 World Short Course Championships also dots his resume. The only thing left to chase is Peirsol&#8217;s world record, which sits at a ridiculous 1:51.92 from the super-suit era.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian was in front at every wall, splitting 26.81 at the 50 and hitting the midway mark in 55.18. He was at 1:23.93 heading into the final lap.<\/p>\n<p>Rylov noted that he is competing without assistance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRyan has all the right to think what he does and say what he says. The time will tell. He didn\u2019t accuse me of anything, so that\u2019s why I don\u2019t have anything against him,&#8221; Rylov said. &#8220;I have always been for clean conditions (in the sport). I always do my tests and I\u2019m devoting my whole life to this. I don\u2019t even know how to react to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Men&#8217;s 200 Backstroke<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>World Record:<\/strong> Aaron Peirsol, United States, 1:51.92 (2009)<br \/>\n<strong>Olympic Record:<\/strong> Tyler Clary, United States, 1:53.41 (2012)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finalists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
