Sam Short Enjoying International Training; Fast Early-Season Times Offer Promise for 2025 (Video)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Australian Olympian Sam Short<\/strong> put on a show at the TYR Pro Swim Series stop in Sacramento. The distance ace and world champion stormed to victories in the 800 and 1500 frees.<\/p>\n

In the 400 freestyle, however, Short had the crowd on their feet. Through the 150-meter mark of the eight-lap race, Short sat a second under world record pace. At 350 meters in, Short still sat a hundredth under Paul Biedermann’s (now former)<\/a> mark, who set it at 3:40.07 during the height of the super-suit era. Although the world-record pace caught him down the stretch, Short still touched the wall in 3:43.75, a world-leading time.\u00a0The record was broken this week by Olympic Champion Lukas<\/strong> M\u00e4rtens,\u00a0<\/b>taking the mark under 3:40 for the first time with a 3:39.96.<\/p>\n

I mean it’s a bit deceiving with the world record, since Biedermann comes back like an absolute hero. But you know, I’ve just got to practice pumping out those times more often. You know, I’m typically pretty good in season. I’m racing again (in) three weeks, so I’m expecting to go some pretty fast times then.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
