Australian swimmer Cameron McEvoy broke the 50-meter freestyle world record with a time of 20.88 seconds at the China Open on Friday, bettering César Cielo's 2009 mark by three hundredths of a second. McEvoy's achievement follows an unconventional training regimen emphasizing strength work and short explosive sets while minimizing pool training since August's World Championships.
