Swimmers DON'T Want To Break This World Record

The men's 800-meter freestyle swimming event, which made its Olympic debut in 2020, has a fascinating history and strategic dynamics that make it unique among swimming competitions. Despite being part of the world championships for many years, the event's world record, set by Zhang Lin in 2009, has remained unbroken. This is due in part to the strategic choices made by top swimmers, who often hold back during the race to conserve energy for a final sprint, hoping to demoralize their opponents and secure victory. With the Paris 2024 Olympics on the horizon, and several swimmers capable of breaking the Olympic winning time from 2021, the question remains: will they prioritize breaking the world record, or will they focus on the tactical game of winning gold?
