His winning time was 14:39 and Gregorio\u2019s PB is 14:33 so much faster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think we can do it faster \u2013 Mischa (Romanchuk), me, Gregorio and maybe also Bobby Finke and let\u2019s see.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Sun Yang<\/strong>\u2019s world record stands at 14:31.02 set at London 2012 with Paltrinieri the second-fastest man in history with a European standard of 14:33.10.<\/p>\n<p>While the Chinese swimmer is currently banned, Wellbrock is concentrating on making the top of the podium rather than rewriting the record books.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI am not sure about this. For sure it\u2019s a world record and it\u2019s never easy to beat a world-record time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt World Championships I focus more on the medal and not on the times or the records so for me the gold medal is much more important than a world record.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Lessons Learned And Applied In Tokyo<\/h3>\n<p>Wellbrock had arrived in Tokyo as the world champion in both pool and open water but the lessons he learned in Japan were unexpected but crucial and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/olympics-florian-wellbrock-dominates-last-lap-of-10k-to-secure-open-water-olympic-gold-by-25-seconds\/\">played a part in him claiming the 10k title<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI learned a lot from Tokyo. I didn\u2019t make it to the podium in the 800 and I was really disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen in the 1500 I tried to win the gold medal and nothing more \u2013 I didn\u2019t want to take the silver or the bronze medal. It was the bronze so I was a little disappointed again and there was just one more race to go \u2013 the 10k in the open water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me it was really important to become Olympic champion last summer \u2013 what I learned was the competition is never over because maybe one race was not the perfect race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you have to continue and follow your dreams and it worked perfect in Tokyo. Maybe it was a good lesson for this competition here.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olympic open water champion Florian Wellbrock invited Mykhailo Romanchuk to join him in Magdeburg, Germany, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February.
