The men's 800-meter freestyle swimming event, which made its Olympic debut in 2020, has a fascinating history and strategic dynamics that make it unique among swimming competitions. Despite being part of the world championships for many years, the event's world record, set by Zhang Lin in 2009, has remained unbroken.
