Can you pick every event with a long course or short course world record set in the calendar year 2020 – without picking any wrong events?
Our latest quiz is a celebration of the year that was. On New Year’s Eve 2020, we’re highlighting all the world records set in the year 2020 with a clickable SwimSwam quiz.
A few notes on this quiz:
- Be careful! Each event is listed only once – but that event encompasses any 2020 world records set by women, men, or in mixed-gender events, and also includes short course and long course meters.
- No short course yards, as those events don’t technically feature world records.
- World-best times do not count – only official swims that are eligible for world records based on FINA’s policies. That means ISL times are included, just not any relay times set by a team where all four swimmers are not of the same nationality.
- The quiz includes only world records set in the calendar year 2020 – that means January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.
- Clicking an event with no world records in 2020 will end the quiz, so guess carefully.
- You have four minutes.

I didn’t read the instructions and tried to tap junior world records uhhh 7/9 tho
What’s the 9th? I got 50 free, 50 back, 100 back, 100 breast, 100 fly, 100 IM, 4x100Medly and 4×50 free
200 Breast is not an option in the quiz
I somehow missed Dressel’s 50 fr world record but got the others.
100% in less than 30 seconds (but that might be because I’m currently writing an article about all 10 world records)
Looking forward to reading it because i missed one and can’t figure out which one it is 😅
Step aside, i got 100% after only 16 tries
2 4×100 medleys (LC China mixed and SC USA women)
Ahhhh the Chinese LC mixed medley is the one I forgot
Trying to figure out which is the 10th WR since relay records can only be done with people from the same country. Seen results over the last 25 years that were faster then World Records but had swimmers from different countries (and no, I am not thinking of college relay yards records).
China set the WR in the LCM Mixed Medley earlier this year – that one was the first of the year and got the least press, I think. Maybe that’s the one you’re forgetting?
Yes, it was
