SWIMSWAM
Jan. 22, 2021 — Japan’s Katsuo (Katsuhiro) Matsumoto already made history by becoming the first man from his nation to medal in the 200m freestyle at a World Championships.

While competing on day 1 of the 2021 Kosuke Kitajima Cup, an annual domestic meet in Tokyo known for wicked-quick performances, Matsumoto blasted a winning 200m free effort of 1:45.13.

Ian Thorpe: “Everyone in the World is Swimming the 200 Freestyle Wrong” (Video)
SWIMMING WORLD NEWS
Jan. 20, 2021 — Australian Swimming legend Ian Thorpe believes that his sensational 1:44.06 World record over 200 metres freestyle in 2001 remains one off the three most competitive four-length swims of the past two decades because “everyone in the world is swimming the 200 freestyle wrong.” “You can’t swim 150 meters easy and then turn it into a sprint.

Now 37, he believes that the only way the swimmer who cannot match the rare backend s ...
