Adam Peaty set a world record in the breast stroke in the 1st prelim.
He barely reacted.
This seems to happen regularly at the Olympics in swimming.
To me it makes the sport less interesting and shows it's not that competitive. Am I wrong? And can someone explain why it happens so often? You never see it in track.
It used to happen a lot I think when they would swim the 3/4 underwater or had the new suits but it still happens now without technological advances.
