2 guys under the WR that was 4 years old. Zhang breaks it by 6, yes SIX, seconds. His last 50 was almost as fast as Biedermann's last 50 in the 400!
I don't know whether to be amazed or disgusted....when you don't know what to think, THAT is what the suits are doing.
mellouli went 7:52 last year, zhang went 7:53... 17 and 21 second drops respectively...
i guess they both just worked really hard this last year, huh?
:censor:
Those are deceptive, though, because neither probably swam a remotely rested 800 last year. Looking at the all-time list, Zhang is listed at a 7:48 from Beijing last year, so presumably that was a split from his Olympic 1500.
