This's ridiculous, 21.28 !!! it was 21.64 few weeks ago....after 8 years, 2 olympic games.
Nobody in recent history have dropped that much the WR of 50m... it's nearly 0.4s...
It's by Suit, It's by some magic juice, it's something else... it's no by talent this's for sure...
From no where, mid-low 22s, boom in few weeks 21.28... Something don't look clear...
Well here is the list of 50 world record development I got
23,86 Jonty Skinner RSA 1976 Philadelphia
23,74 Joe Bottom USA 1977 Etobicoke
23,72 Ronnie Manganiello USA 1978 Miami
23.70 Klaus Steinback FRG Freiburg 7/23/1979
23.66 Chris Cavanaugh USA Amersfoort 2/2/1980
22.83p Bruce Stahl USA Austin 4/10/1980
22.83p Joe Bottom USA Honolulu 8/15/1980
22.71 Joe Bottom USA Honolulu 8/15/1980
22.54p Robin Leamy USA Brown Deer 8/15/1981
22.52 Dano Halsall SUI Bellinzona 7/21/1985
22.40 Tom Jager USA Austin 12/6/1985
22.33 Matt Biondi USA Orlando 6/26/1986
22.33 Matt Biondi USA Clovis 7/30/1987
22.32* Tom Jager USA Brisbane 8/13/1987
22.23 Tom Jager USA Orlando 3/25/1988
22.14 Matt Biondi USA Seoul 9/24/1988
22.12 Tom Jager USA Tokyo 8/20/1989
21.98p Tom Jager USA Nashville 3/24/1990
21.81 Tom Jager USA Nashville 3/24/1990
21.64 Alexander Popov RUS Moscow 6/1/2000
21.56 Eamon Sullivan AUS Sopac 2/17/2008
21.50 Alain Bernard FRA Eindhoven 3/23/2008
21.41 Eamon Sullivan AUS Sydney 3/27/2008
21.28 Eamon Sullivan AUS Sydney 3/28/2008
Seems like the drop from 23.66 to 22.83 is pretty big back in 1980
Tom Jager dropped his own WR from 22.40 1985 down to 21.81 1990
Why wouldnt Eamon be able to drop the time in 50? What a talent! Fantastic technique! Extremely explosive! I say WOW!!! What an amazing record.
