Original: Why don’t some 50m freestyle swimmers breathe? World record holder Cam McEvoy explains
Australian sprinter Cam McEvoy, the 50m freestyle world record holder, has explained why swimmers in the event often complete their races without taking a single breath. In the 50m, a sprint lasting around 21 seconds, swimmers can rely on anaerobic energy and avoid the drag and rhythm disruption caused by turning the head to breathe. McEvoy's explanation offers rare insight into elite sprint technique as Olympic swimming draws attention.
