World Records evolve over the years, with athletes constantly chasing faster times and, in some cases, breaking their own records.
Ryan Lochte broke the 200m Individual Medley world record twice at the World Championships: first in Rome in 2009, then again in Shanghai in 2011.
Fourteen years later, someone finally came to dethrone him: Léon Marchand.
