In his third 50 breaststroke victory this season, Energy Standard’s Emre Sakci lowered his own Turkish national record along with the European record to a 25.29. The new mark improves upon his own records which he set at ISL Match 4 last week when he swam it in a 25.50.
Sakci’s swim comes within 0.04 seconds of Cameron van der Burgh‘s world record of 25.25 from 2009. Van der Burgh’s is among the oldest world records still standing today and Sakci is now closer to beating it than anyone has been in over a decade.
He was previously the third-fastest performer ever with his 25.50 and has now jumped South African Roland Schoeman‘s 24.45 to replace him as second place.
