Kyle has improved his skills - starts and turns - so much compared to when he was a junior. Great talent and lots of hard work to develop into a consistent world class swimmer.

[robynpeace]

What a joy to watch. Damn, boy! See how much time he makes up in his turns? Short course is his friend. Absolutely beautiful.

In an interview (with Swimswam? with Brett Hawke?) from his hotel room quarantine after the Tokyo Olympics, Kyle said that he was unable to pull for months in early 2021 due to yet another shoulder surgery. Instead of giving up, he strapped on a snorkel and grinded out tons of only kicking for months. You can see in this video that he improved his underwaters massively compared to 2020. What an inspiration!

Fina! Should be 44.84 and not 48.84 in the description. Thanks so much for showing us the entire swim!

wow just wow, he improves alot, now let's see how Dressel responds to this

[aquamansanchez]

Dressel has always said Chalmers is a better 100 swimmer, but the thing of Dressel swims multiple events. So he doesn't have the opportunity to focus on one event, but let enjoy a non supersuit world record

[adrianot]

Mark my words, in 3 years time Popovici will dominate 100 m freestyle and 200 m freestyle long course and short course. He's only 17 years old and he's already among the greatest! He needs to add some body muscle and work on his underwaters, and then his gonna be a monster!

He broke the world record of Amaury Leveaux (France).
Amaury Leveaux established it in 2009 at Rijeka (Roumania). He is an olympic gold medalist in 2012, and double silver medallist in 2008.

Wooo - yo got it - go on further, beat yourself Kyle ! VITS - Force Chanelling Principle

[jucius]

What's the difference between RUS and CLB?

[simonpaterson]

Chalmers will come back next Olympics, he will still be only around 26 years of age.

[scottmichael]

Australian freestylers are the best in the world!

[artofknives]

You put the wrong time in the description *facepalm*

[saiwolaw]

Dressel excel in diving and underwater.
Surprised that Chalmers beat his WR in short coarse.

[mikes]

Kyle is banging Emma Mckeon these days 🌟

[stxmvpc]

I may be mistaken here but im positive i saw a french swimmer swim a sub 44 time a few years ago?

[gustavo_]

Very impressive! The previous world record was from Pieter Van Hogenban? It was already below 45 seconds, right?

[paulzeng]

"New World record time: 48.84 " it says.

[sylvainguinepain]

Wins by 1.5 seconds. He could have swan long course and still beat everyone else's time.
