200-metre individual medley

The 200-metre individual medley is a race in competitive swimming in which swimmers compete in all four strokes (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle) in one race, with each leg being 50 metres in length. The stroke order is different to the team variant of this race. US swimmer Michael Phelps is famous for his four-peat at the Olympics, winning the event at each Olympic Games from 2004 to 2016, the first swimmer to have ever won four successive gold medals at the same event.[1] The world record for both SCM and LCM is currently held by Leon Marchand.

Description

Swimmers start by diving off the block and swimming 50 metres of the butterfly stroke before touching the wall with both hands and turning into 50 metres of backstroke. There are three different ways you can turn on the wall in the backstroke-to-breaststroke transition. The most common is a one-handed touch to the wall and simply rotating your body to push off. The second possible turn is a cross overturn. This is when the swimmer touches the wall on their side and then flipping their legs over their head. The third possible turn is a bucket turn where, after you touch the wall, you do a backflip, similar to the cross-over turn but on your back. After the turn, the swimmer completes 50 metres of breaststroke. They finish the race with 50 metres of freestyle.

All-time top 25

Tables show data for two definitions of "Top 25" - the top 25 200 m individual medley times and the top 25 athletes:
- denotes top performance for athletes in the top 25 200 m individual medley times
- denotes lesser performances, still in the top 25 200 m individual medley times, by repeat athletes
- denotes top performance (only) for other top 25 athletes who fall outside the top 25 200 m individual medley times
