Olympic champion is already a world record holder. Even when Lukas Mertens jumps into the pelvis on track. Swimming with great expectations. After all, he should come out as a world champion. With this pressure it is important to cope and also with the pressure that the competition builds up. Above all, Sam Short from Australia. Right next to him, before the last turn. Wrong world. Short on gold, Mertens on a silver course. The Magdeburger has to get everything out of it. It is 1 meter, 92 meters long. Decides each inch. It is a heartbeat final to the stop. And it is enough with a 2/100 lead. Gold for Lukas Mertens. 23 years old, Olympic champion, world record holder and now also world champion.
