Brazil has found its next elite male breaststroker.
On the opening day of the Brazilian Youth Summer Championships in Sao Paulo, Kauã Santos Carvalho shattered his two-month-old national record for 15-year-old boys in the 100 breaststroke (LCM), putting up a blistering time of 1:02.25 in the prelims.
Carvalho’s swim marked the fourth time he’s lowered the record in the last six months, a remarkable achievement given that the previous mark had stood for nearly a decade.
Poucas vezes em minha vida eu fiquei atônito com um resultado em natação. Esta manhã foi um destes dias e ainda tem final!

In June, Carvalho put up a time of 1:03.93 to break the previous record of 1:04.64, set by Eduardo Fonseca Amaral in November 2013.
Carvalho followed up by clocking 1:03.60 a few weeks later, and then brought the record down to 1:03.07 in October before his swim on Tuesday.

Split Comparison

| 29.94 | 29.99 | 30.08 |
| 1:03.07 (33.13) | 1:02.25 (32.26) | 1:02.53 (32.45) |
Just last month, Carvalho was making inroads in the Brazilian record books in short course meters, setting a pair of age records in the 100 breast (1:00.13) and 200 breast (2:13.17) at the São Paulo Youth Summer Championship in Americana.
Carvalho’s performance ranks 10th per USA Swimming’s database (including international swimmers) among 15-year-olds all-time, with American Reece Whitley holding the top time at 1:01.00.
Carvalho is entered to swim the 50 free, 100 free, 200 breast and 200 IM later in the meet.
It’s very troubling to have a video linked to Alex Pussieldi’s account.
Why?
Why would it be troubling if that is where the video originated? I thought it correct procedure to recognise and attribute video to the creator when reposting or distributing online. Am I wrong in this understanding?
