Competing at the China Open, McEvoy clocked 20.88 in the one-lap sprint, an effort that cut .03 off Cesar Cielo&#8217;s longstanding global standard from the 2009 campaign. The reigning Olympic champion in the 50 freestyle, McEvoy chased Cielo&#8217;s world record for several years, and will now look to lower the mark even further.<\/p>\n<p>The summer ahead is expected to produce fast racing, with multiple international competitions on tap. In addition to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, the European Championships will unfold in Paris. Meanwhile, the Pan Pacific Championships are slated for Irvine, California.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a look at the men&#8217;s world records in order of youth, led by McEvoy&#8217;s recent standard.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/the-womens-world-records-from-newest-to-oldest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Women&#8217;s Records<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>50 Freestyle<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Owner:\u00a0<\/strong>Cameron McEvoy<br \/>\n<strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong>20.88<br \/>\n<strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>March 20, 2026<br \/>\n<strong>Age of Record:\u00a0<\/strong>51 Days<\/p>\n<h3>200 Individual Medley<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Owner:\u00a0<\/strong>Leon Marchand<br \/>\n<strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong>1:52.69<br \/>\n<strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>July 30, 2025<br \/>\n<strong>Age of Record:\u00a0<\/strong>Nine Months, 10 Days<\/p>\n<h3>400 Freestyle<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Owner:\u00a0<\/strong>Lukas M\u00e4rtens<br \/>\n<strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong>3:39.96<br \/>\n<strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>April 12, 2025<br \/>\n<strong>Age of Record:\u00a0<\/strong>One Year, 28 Days<\/p>\n<h3>1500 Freestyle<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Owner:\u00a0<\/strong>Bobby Finke<br \/>\n<strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong>14:30.67<br \/>\n<strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>August 4, 2024<br \/>\n<strong>Age of Record:\u00a0<\/strong>One Year, Nine Months, Six Days<\/p>\n<h3>100 Freestyle<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Owner:\u00a0<\/strong>Pan Zhanle<br \/>\n<strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong>46.40<br \/>\n<strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>July 31, 2024<br \/>\n<strong>Age of Record:\u00a0<\/strong>One Year, Nine Months, 10 Days<\/p>\n<h3>200 Breaststroke<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Owner:\u00a0<\/strong>Qin Haiyang<br \/>\n<strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong>2:05.48<br \/>\n<strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>July 28, 2023<br \/>\n<strong>Age of Record:\u00a0<\/strong>Two Years, Nine Months, 12 Days<\/p>\n<h3>50 Backstroke<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Owner:\u00a0<\/strong>Kliment Kolesnikov<br \/>\n<strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong>23.55<br \/>\n<strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>July 27, 2023<br \/>\n<strong>Age of Record:\u00a0<\/strong>Two Years, Nine Months, 13 Days<\/p>\n<h3>400 Individual Medley<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Owner:\u00a0<\/strong>Leon Marchand<br \/>\n<strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong>4:02.50<br \/>\n<strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>July 23, 2023<br \/>\n<strong>Age of Record:\u00a0<\/strong>Two Years, Nine Months, 17 Days<\/p>\n<h3>200 Butterfly<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Owner:\u00a0<\/strong>Kristof Milak<br \/>\n<strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong>1:50.34<br \/>\n<strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>June 21, 2022<br \/>\n<strong>Age of Record:\u00a0<\/strong>Three Years, 10 Months, 19 Days<\/p>\n<h3>100 Backstroke<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Owner:\u00a0<\/strong>Thomas Ceccon<br \/>\n<strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong>51.60<br \/>\n<strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>June 20, 2022<br \/>\n<strong>Age of Record:\u00a0<\/strong>Three Years, 10 Months, 20 Days<\/p>\n<h3>100 Butterfly<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Owner:\u00a0<\/strong>Caeleb Dressel<br \/>\n<strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong>49.45<br \/>\n<strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>July 31, 2021<br \/>\n<strong>Age of Record:\u00a0<\/strong>Four Years, Nine Months, 10 Days<\/p>\n<h3>100 Breaststroke<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Owner:\u00a0<\/strong>Adam Peaty<br \/>\n<strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong>56.88<br \/>\n<strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>July 21, 2019<br \/>\n<strong>Age of Record:\u00a0<\/strong>Six Years, Nine Months, 19 Days<\/p>\n<h3>50 Butterfly<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Owner:\u00a0<\/strong>Andriy Govorov<br \/>\n<strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong>22.27<br \/>\n<strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>July 1, 2018<br \/>\n<strong>Age of Record:\u00a0<\/strong>Seven Years, 10 Months, Nine Days<\/p>\n<h3>50 Breaststroke<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Owner:\u00a0<\/strong>Adam Peaty<br \/>\n<strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong>25.95<br \/>\n<strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>July 25, 2017<br \/>\n<strong>Age of Record:\u00a0<\/strong>Eight Years, Nine Months, 15 Days<\/p>\n<h3>200 Backstroke<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Owner:\u00a0<\/strong>Aaron Peirsol<br \/>\n<strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong>1:51.92<br \/>\n<strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>July 31, 2009<br \/>\n<strong>Age of Record:\u00a0<\/strong>16 Years, Nine Months, 10 Days<\/p>\n<h3>800 Freestyle<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Owner:\u00a0<\/strong>Zhang Lin<br \/>\n<strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong>7:32.12<br \/>\n<strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>July 29, 2009<br \/>\n<strong>Age of Record:\u00a0<\/strong>16 Years, Nine Months, 11 Days<\/p>\n<h3>200 Freestyle<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Owner:\u00a0<\/strong>Paul Biedermann<br \/>\n<strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong>1:42.00<br \/>\n<strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>July 28, 2009<br \/>\n<strong>Age of Record:\u00a0<\/strong>16 Years, Nine Months, 12 Days<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Men&#8217;s World Records from Newest to Oldest It&#8217;s been nearly two months since Australian sprint star Cameron McEvoy took down the world record in the 50-meter freestyle.
