The world record was shattered in 50 meters freestyle swimming. Gazeta Express published this news on March 23rd, 2026, at 8:53. Cameron McEvoy achieved a remarkable victory, surpassing Cesar Cielo as the quickest swimmer over 50 meters in freestyle.
The 31-year-old Australian demonstrated an outstanding performance, achieving a time of 20.88 seconds during the “Open” competition in Shenzhen, China. This represented a significant improvement of 0.03 seconds compared to Cielo’s previous record, which was set in 2009. This accomplishment signified the conclusion of the polyurethane suit era.
These suits, prevalent in the early 2000s, dramatically altered swimming, resulting in a surge of rapid record times. Balkanweb indicates that they were retired in 2010. Despite this discontinuation, the records attained while utilizing these suits remain valid.
McEvoy’s performance, measured in seconds, solidified his place in swimming history, showcasing a new standard for the freestyle event.
