Quote:Every one of Nolans stroke splits is outstanding in its own right. He was 21.67 on fly (tied for the best in the field), 24.32 on back (the best in the field by a longshot, even better than Cals backstroking NCAA record-holder Ryan Murphy), 29.21 on breast (second-best of the field) and 24.18 on free (the fastest free split of the event).
Nolan is now the fastest man in history by over .7 seconds. The second-fastest swimmer in history was in this field, and Nolan put him to shame that was Texas sophomore Will Licon, who went 1:40.09.
