The 200 is his clear strength, the Aussie packing a lethal finishing kick. It\u2019ll take a notable development in the next two years to prevent him from repeating as Olympic champion. But the 23-year-old is still growing into his career, with the potential to become the next all-around breaststroke star the likes of which haven\u2019t been seen since Kitajima.<\/p>\n<p>Stubblety-Cook\u2019s arrival came at the Tokyo <a href=\"https:\/\/olympic.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Olympics<\/a>. But to do what he\u2019s done over the last 18 months in the 200 breast, winning gold medals in impressive fashion at the three largest meets on the schedule, is legendary.<\/p>\n<p>His run started in earnest in Tokyo. He was fastest at every level at the Olympics and took control of the final by swimming away from a crowd with that finishing burst. His time of 2:06.38 set an Olympic record and set the stage for a stellar 2022.<\/p>\n<p>His swim at the Australian Championships in May was one of the best of the year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/breaking-australias-zac-stubblety-cook-smashes-world-record-in-the-200m-breaststroke-in-205-95\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">downing the world record in the 200<\/a> with a time of 2:05.95. The first man under 2:06, he chipped .17 off Chupkov\u2019s world record from the 2019 World Championships, an event in which Stubblety-Cook finished fourth behind fellow Aussie <strong>Matthew Wilson<\/strong>. Only six swimmers since the start of 2019 have gone under 2:07, and Stubblety-Cook is already visiting the depths below 2:06.<\/p>\n<p>He has all the elements to push the frontier in the event, his superb technique required for such a technically demanding race and his ability to build speed as the races goes on. (He trains with distance swimmer Jack McLoughlin, whom he credits in part for his back-end speed). But what may separate Stubblety-Cook is the racing mettle that is so rare over the longer distance.<\/p>\n<p>While so many of his compatriots divided their attentions between Worlds and the Commonwealth Games, Stubblety-Cook found a way to dominate both. Making two finals at each event is an achievement few could wring out of a post-Olympic year, and it sets Stubblety-Cook as the unquestioned favorite as the world pushes toward the Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe end goal is Paris in 2024, but obviously whatever happens in between, I\u2019m just going to enjoy my swimming,\u201d he said in May after his world record. \u201cAnd there will be a lot of fast racing this year and a lot of good competitors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stubblety-Cook showed his dominance at Worlds, where he won the 200 in 2:07.07, a second-and-a-quarter clear of his pursuers. He was also seventh in the 100.\u00a0He was slower at Commonwealths by exactly a second, but he still topped <strong>James Wilby<\/strong> by a half-second for gold. He added silver in the 100 breast in 59.52.<\/p>\n<p>The ability to win races is something we\u2019ve grown used to from Stubblety-Cook, his standing as among the best of his generation of breaststrokers well established. The world record, though, enters him into a deeper conversation of his place all-time. It\u2019s something that Stubblety-Cook felt in Adelaide in May.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a different feeling to look up at the board and see your name next to the world record,\u201d he said after his win at Worlds. \u201cI think when the event was announced, it was strange, especially in the heats, seeing my name flash up over 2:05.9. It was different, but exciting. I\u2019m swimming freely and enjoying swimming, and that\u2019s the most important thing to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TOP 5 PACIFIC RIM (Men)<br \/>\n1.
