faster than Biedermann: Märtens swims to world record

Lukas Märtens wrote history in Stockholm at the weekend by broken the world record over 400 meters of freestyle for almost 16 years. The 23-year-old swimmer achieved an impressive time of 3: 39.96 minutes at the Swim Open. With this performance he exceeded the former record of Paul Biedermann, which was set up in 2009, by eleven hundredths of a second.

Märtens' success not only illustrates its outstanding skills, but also the further development of swimming in general. The young athlete has made remarkable progress in recent years and is now one of the best freestyle swimmers in the world.

In the period after Biedermann's record, there were numerous attempts to exceed it, but Märtens is the first to successfully do this. His training methods, coupled with a clear strategy in competition, enabled him to redefine the limits of possible in swimming. This also raises questions to what extent modern technology and science can influence the sports and to spur up athletes to top performance.

The reactions to Märtens' new world record are overwhelming. Experts and former swimmers viewed his performance as impressive and pioneering for future development in swimming. Many see him the potential to break further records and initiate a new era in freestyle swimming.

In summary, the world record of Lukas Märtens not only shows its personal performance, but also the relocation in the swimming competition, where athletes are increasingly able to surpass old records. These records are not only a reflection of the individual talent, but also proof of innovative strength and progress in sport.
