I believe in one of the swimming races, the top 3 came in under the current WR time



Beijing 4x100 free relay final.

ETA: And the top 5 all broke the world record that was recently set in the prelims.

Social media’s are funny because a white dude one another one yesterday also and was the only white dude in the race.

So now white dudes have 2 golds and world records in speed races over black folks.

The olympics are racist

Since the winner was ahead of him, did he technically break the current WR?

How about pitching a no hitter, issuing 0 walks, 0 hit batsmen, and losing 1-0? That had to suck.

Nope, the OP's subject line is incorrect. At no point did the 2nd place guy break the world record.

Yeah, Sham was a beast, but Secretariat was the GOAT.

Okay Nazi, his time was faster than the previous world record.
