WHO ARE THE LEADING MEDAL CONTENDERS?
The world record time for the men’s 200m freestyle was set by Germany’s Paul Biedermann in 2009 at the World Championships in Rome, with a time of 1:42.00. The Commonwealth Games record is 1:44.71, set by Ian Thorpe in Manchester during the 2002 event, 20 years ago.
At the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo last summer, Great Britain took both the gold and silver medal. Thomas Dean set a National Record, whilst Duncan Scott finished in second-place.
TSZ’S PREDICTION
England’s Dean is the firm favourite for this race and he is also performing much better than the rest of the field just this season, let alone on reputation. His GB teammate representing Scotland, Duncan Scott, is expected to be his closest challenger.
