American Jack Alexy aur Australians Cameron McEvoy aur Kyle Chalmers jaise swimmers jab aaj raat ke 50m freestyle event me 2026 China Swimming Open ke liye pool me utare, to hume pata tha ki competition kaafi intense hoga. Lekin kisi ko bhi andaza nahi tha ki 31 saal ke Olympic champion McEvoy kya karne wale hain jab final moment aaya aur unhone wall touch ki.
McEvoy ne ek zabardast World Record 20.88 ka time laga kar gold jeet liya, wo bhi lagbhag ek body length ke gap se, jo ki 50m jaise high-speed event me bahut rare hota hai jahan races usually hundredths of a second me decide hoti hain. Alexy ne silver liya, lekin wo aadhe second se bhi zyada peeche rahe 21.57 ke saath, jabki Chalmers ne 22.01 ka time laga kar bronze medal hasil kiya.
McEvoy ne apni is performance se purana World Record 20.91 ko 0.03 seconds se tod diya, jo retired Brazilian Olympian César Cielo ne 2009 ke supersuit era me banaya tha.
Is competition se pehle McEvoy all-time men’s 50m freestyle performers ki list me 4th rank par the, aur unka personal best 21.06 tha jo unhone 2023 World Aquatics Championships me achieve kiya tha.
Unhone Paris 2024 Olympics me 21.25 ka time laga kar British swimmer Ben Proud ke 21.30 ko beat kiya tha aur gold jeeta tha. Uske baad pichle saal 2025 World Aquatics Championships me McEvoy ne aur bhi fast swim karte hue 21.14 ka time laga kar gold medal jeeta.
Race ke baad McEvoy khud bhi kaafi surprised lage ki unhone World Record tod diya, unhone kaha ki wo sirf 22-second barrier ke neeche jaana chahte the.
McEvoy ki unique training method kaafi famous hai, jahan wo pool me zyada laps karne ke bajay gym me zyada focus karte hain, especially strength aur power training par.
