Brazilian Cesar Cielo, swimming at the 2014 Ron
Johnson Invitational masters’ meet in Arizona, swam a 21.3 on Saturday in the
50 short course meters freestyle, according to his Facebook page.
Cielo
and 2015 U.S. Pan Ams team member Darian Townsend are the two
headliners of this meet, whose results haven’t been formally published, but in
the first of his two swims on the weekend, Cielo swam a solid time as he
enters final preparations for the 2014 World Short Course Championships that
are now just over two weeks away (December 3-7 in Doha, Qatar).
Cielo
stated before this weekend’s meet that his goal was to come close to his time
from the José Finkel Trophy earlier this year, where he swam a 20.6.
While
the hundredths portion of that race is unknown, regardless the swim by Cielo,
once ratified, will be a new men’s 25-29 Masters’ World Record in the event.
It’s not unusual for active, professional swimmers to hold the World Record in
this age group: the last three holders before Cielo were:
Finland’s
Ari-Pekka Liukkonen – 21.59 (won bronze this summer at Euros in the same
distance)
South
African-turned American Townsend – 22.08
Swede
Stefan Nystrand in 2006 – 22.11 (the same year he wont two medals at FINA’s
regular World Championships).
