Sjöström has now tied Phelps long course individual world Championship medal record at 20 - chance to break it in 50 Free!

 

Sjöström is one of the most sweet and enjoyable swimmers out there, but to be fair Phelps competed at only 6 WC (and practically 5, since he did only 1 discipline in 2001 at 15), while this is Sarah's 8th WC. Doesn't take the fact, that she is one of the greatest female swimmers ever.

You could argue that longevity is also part of the game ...

still, it's wrong (and I only checked :ITA )

 

in the pool we only have 4 silver medals so far (and no gold)

 

if they count also the open water swimming, then they should add a silver and a bronze to that list

 

hwerever you look at it, it's always full of mistakes :facepalm:

You have a gold in Men's 50m butterfly.

50.14, same as Milák last year. Not as fast as peak Dressel and peak Milák in Tokyo, but they might never repeat those times. 

He went from being completely irrelevant to one of the fastest all time within one year. If you would have asked experts about the favorite in the 100 fly before the start of the year, they probably would have mentioned 50 other guys before they would have mentioned Grousset. With the olympics being in Paris he has to be the favorite. I wonder what he could have done in the 50 free. I think he would have won silver if he would have competed.
