I was looking at the US LCM records for 35-39 Mens vs the Fina World Records and noticed. That the US records were faster than the World Records for 200 back, 200 IM, and 400 IM all set by Ron Karnaugh. How is this possible?
In some 400 & 800-meter relays, the USMS Record is faster than the World Record because FINA did not recognize world records in these events until several years ago, long after USMS recognized records in these events.
