Golden Age of Men’s Distance? Yes, globally. But in the U.S. the depth was comparable all the way back in 1984. Guys weren’t wearing caps or goggles. No underwaters two feet forward starts. Golden age would be back when everyone was training distance. Don’t think we will ever revert back to that. The top end is far superior for the very few that take it on. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.usaswimming.org/docs/default-source/eventsdocuments/meet-results/olympic-trials-results/1984-us-olympic-team-trials.pdf?sfvrsn=4c925032_7
