Duncan Scott closed Thursday’s 3rd day of the 2017 British Swimming Championships with a 47.90 in the men’s 100 meter free, making him the first-ever Brit under 48 seconds in the event.
Scott split 23.14/24.76 en route to breaking his own National Record of 48.01 – a time he excruciatingly did twice in Rio, once in the heats and once in the finals where he placed 4th. At only 19 years old, he’s also one of few teenagers in history to break the barrier. Australia’s young Olympic champion Kyle Chalmers (47.58 – 18) is the fastest-ever teenager in the event, and Cam McEvoy swam 47.88 at 19 years old in 2013.
In all, he becomes the 37th man under the barrier since Pieter van den Hoogenband first did so at the 2000 Olympics.
Britain becomes the 14th country to put a swimmer onto this elite list. The countries, ranked by their fastest swimmers:
- Brazil (Cesar Cielo, Nicolas Nilo)
- France (Alain Bernard, Fred Bosquet, Fabien Gilot, Amaury Leveaux, William Meynard, Jeremy Stravius, Florent Manaudou, Yannick Agnel)
- Australia (Cam McEvoy, Eamon Sullivan, James Magnussen, Kyle Chalmers, James Roberts, Matt Targett)
- Canada (Brent Hayden, Santo Condorelli)
- USA (Dave Walters, Nathan Adrian, Jason Lezak, Garrett Weber-Gale, Michael Phelps, Caeleb Dressel, Jimmy Feigen)

I don’t know if they have read me but USA swimming added the NAG records’ list to its new website. Thanks to them.
Now if they could also put back their weekly updated list of top 20 age group performers per age (from 11 to 18) and per event in PDF like in the previous version of the website, it would be perfect.
Back to the list above, cool to see that France is the nation with the most sub 48 swimmers in history. It has been more than a decade of a golden generation of French sprinters.

Bravo Emanuele!
I find on the web, credits to “nuoto all time”
Wait till this guy is 25 and has 15-25 pounds extra muscle on his frame, could be something special(er)

McEvoy was first teenager under 48 at Barcelona with 47.88 for fourth. Only Chalmers, McEvoy and Scott have been under 48 as a teenager
Actually Dressel too. He went 47.9 twice in the heats and semis in Rio when he was still shy of his 20th birthday.
Marcelo Chierighini from Brazil has also broken 48. You left him off this list.
Chieriguini never broke 48 mark.His best time is 48.11(Twice in 2013).
sick; well done.
