Canadian 19-year-old Josh Liendo finished 2nd in semifinals of the men’s 50 free tonight, clocking a 20.88. Liendo has been fantastic through the first 2 rounds of the event, posting a new personal best of 21.01 in prelims, before bringing that time under 21 seconds here in semis. His prelims swim blew away the previous Canadian Record of 21.34, which was held by Brent Hayden. So, Liendo broke the record twice today, marking his 3rd and 4th individual national records of the week.
Canada has been tearing its national records down all week. Liendo’s performances mark the 10th and 11th Canadian Records of the meet. Here is a breakdown of the 11 Canadian Records that have gone down so far this week.

And apparently Acevedo has broken the 200 Fly record at a local Ontario meet…1:52 and change. He’s had a nice career extension with the Olympic berth, a great ISL season, and now this. ππ
@Spencer
I don’t think he’s going 23.13 on a 100 fly lol
Wouldn’t he have technically first broke the record last night on the 4Γ50 Mixed Free going 20.94?
Can’t break records on mixed relays π
No, mixed relay leadoffs donβt count as records in most countries
