Swimming a monumental 2:01.65 in the 200m Butterfly, she has officially erased Liu Zige’s 17-year-old super-suit record. In this episode, we are diving deep into the technique and race analysis to figure out exactly how she pulled this off. We break down the splits, comparing this historic swim side-by-side with her previous personal best (2:01.99 from World Championships) and the old super-suit mark. We explore how Bob Bowman's coaching influenced her pacing, specifically focusing on that crucial middle 100m where she truly separated herself from history. Plus, with this \"unbreakable\" record now gone, we debate which world records are officially the hardest left to beat in the sport. Is it the Men's 200m Free, the 800m Free, or Adam Peaty's 100m Breaststroke? Let us know what you think in the comments! Hosted on Acast.
