At five feet six inches, 17 year old Japanese swimmer Shin Ohashi doesn’t exactly tower over the rest of the field in the breaststroke events. However once you start looking at race results he DOES start to stand above the rest of the world in a matter of speaking, and we just saw that fact on full display when he SMASHED the world record in the 200 breaststroke at the 2026 Asian Games. We’re going to look at how exactly this race played out, what it looks like compared to the next fastest swims in history and the technical details of his stroke that allows his height to work FOR him instead of AGAINST him.
