- Florida senior Caeleb Dressel won the 50-yard free in a time of 17.63 seconds Thursday night, taking almost half a second off the mark he had set earlier in the day at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in Minneapolis.
Dressel's time of 17.63 beat the previous American, NCAA, U.S. Open and Florida record of 18.11 seconds, which Dressel had set in a prelim earlier in the day.
NC State's Ryan Held was second, finishing more than a second behind Dressel in 18.64. Minnesota's Bowen Becker was third.
Me back skipping 15 seconds to watch his finish again but going back to the beginning of the race- 👁👄👁
Literally the fastest single race time in all of swimming.
Man! I get butterflies just watching this! So gnarly!
Many many international swimmers compete on NCAA teams. Fred Bousquet (France) and Cesar Cielo (Brazil) both held the record at one point.
To everyone saying it's not a WR. The previous WR holder for the Men's 50y freestyle in short course was Cesar Cielo Filho (the Brazilian who holds the world records for 50- and 100-M free)
Regardless...it's yards not meters so can't be a WR. Yards are ONLY in the US and only at NCAA. (He is an absolute talent tho!)
@@kayamagan22 I'm not even american but even I have to admit that it's a WR. It's the NCAA, it's a different format, so what? Still the fastest time anyone has set in this format ever. It's like saying a WR set in the Japanese nationals doesn't count because it was held in Japan...(?
@@oatmilkplays I take you point on the 'fastest time anyone has set in this format' YARDS,only really used in the US,no one else would bother with it around the world. WR broken at the Japanese nationals would count as a WR cos ONLY metric form is being used at their championship (to the best of my knowledge)which is the widely accepted format when it comes to athletic performance.(world wide) No one sets (wants to set) WR in 91m Sprint event in athletics.
@@kayamagan22 point still stands. This is the fastest time anyone has ever recorded in this format. Therefore, it's a WR. It's not like the best swimmers in the world don't compete in the NCAA. A WR set in yards is still a WR and like I said. The previous holder of this record was Cesar Cielo Filho. The only man who swam sub-47 in the 100m freestyle and also WR holder in the 50m freestyle. He swam in the NCAA as well and had the previous record. Are you telling me you would have recognized his WR's in metric but not his WR in yards? We have to be consistent. Once again, I'm not american and don't understand the imperial system for shit, but we should give credit where credit is due. His swim is still impressive regardless of it being in the NCAA.
Reminds me when the Americans call their baseball championship... the World Series. No teams outside of North America are invited. So North American Champions would be more like it.
Wow, 17.53 seconds in the 50 yard freestyle short course is crazy fast. 2nd place was one second behind and it was a fast time of 18.64.
17.63
My God. How
That swim in 25m pool could have been possibly 19.9sec!!! or less so yeah it’s unbetable
why would that make it unbeatable though?
@@moimeme6533 no one has gone under 20 seconds in the 50 freestyle in a 25m pool so itd be a world record
That's a bit optimistic but yeah it would have been quick
@@DromeG60 17.63 converted to scm is a 19.57
@@colin2345 Time converters are hilariously inaccurate when it comes to LCM/SCM conversions to SCY. If that were truly the case, Dressel would be well under 20 in the 50m SC, which he isn't; he's still a 20.16.
He went to my school
he was prolly the fast freshmen
There is no word record recognized for 50 yard freestyle.
My guess there could be a non-american swimming in this meet who could break the record, therefore it would be considered a world record, right?
ebonypamt nobody in the world can go that fast.
its not the meet record or pool record its the world record, but then again usa is the only place to have short course yards
Matthew Nauman also an NCAA
Only metric swims are considered as world records......it is an American record.....
By virtue of no one ever having swum 50 yards this fast before in the world, it is also, naturally, a world record.
A short course yards world record? Is there even such thing?
this is an American thing. When they win in baseball .. they call themselves world champs, when they win in NBA .. they say they're world champs, etc. Weird I know.
nomak I know what you mean, it's kinda selfish of us, but then again I don't think anyone in the world is gunna beat dressel in this 😂
There are no sc yard world records.....only American records.......
nomak I mean the basketball teams are the best in the world
nomak
Your country ? Just curious
Underwater win championships
Haha i wanna see you do better
Also btw Caleb dressel has the scy, scm, and lcm 50 world records. So yeah don’t be so demeaning
Its not 50 metres. It's 50 yards. That means he is not the fastest in the world. Plus its short course
xxJohn Doe x it says 50 yards and it is the world record for 50 free short course yard
there are short course world records in meters also. btw, yards always = short course by default in this sport, at least in terms of sanctioned distance
@@moimeme6533 Lmao no. By default short course it´s in meters. You have 25 meter pools and competitions in every country, and you have 25 yards competitions and pools in one country
@@pabloruedaarzoz8065 you completely missed the point, which was that 25 yards is already considered short course in the US, where there are two short course distances (SCY & SCM). Nobody said anything about international distance in this context (NCAA) and most ppl already know the imperial system primarily exists in the US.
@@moimeme6533 sry i didn't know you were only talking about the US
great swim, great time, fantastic swimmer .. BUT .. a world record? America is not the whole world you know. Dumb title.
America is the only country that uses SCY (Short Course Yards) so yes, it is a world record.
A LOT of international swimmers compete in the NCAA and swim SCY.
@@MattePurple1 yeah, like all of them.
It’s a US open record
This is actually not a world record
25 yards, not meters.
By virtue of no one ever having swum 50 yards this fast before in the world, it is also, naturally, a world record.
@@SilphSpectre No, not officially. To be official, it must be recognized by FINA.
@@KeegansLife no actually that is accurate. if you disagree, call FINA the idiots.
@@KeegansLife for what purpose?
