22-year-old breaks Olympic record in 200m breaststroke finalKyle Chalmers adds silver; women’s 4x200m free team bronze The last time an
Australian man won a breaststroke gold medal at the Olympics was in 1964 when the Games were being held in Tokyo. More than half a century later, in the same city, an Australian again dominated the four-lap discipline as 22-year-old Zac Stubblety-Cook won the men’s 200m breaststroke final and broke the Olympic record.
Australia’s swimming haul at these Games swelled further when Kyle Chalmers added a Tokyo 2020 silver to his Rio gold medal in a thrilling men’s 100m freestyle final, won by the narrowest of margins by the
American Caeleb Dressel.
