A evolução do recorde mundial dos 200m peito feminino

E já teve brasileira campeã mundial na prova dos 200m peito. Ninguém menos que Maria Lenk, o maior nome da natação feminina brasileira. Foi em 8 de novembro de 1939, no Rio de Janeiro com 2:56.0.

Rikke Pedersen não foi a primeira dinamarquesa a superar o recorde mundial nessa prova: em 1927, Else Jacobsen (talvez parentesco com Mette Jacobsen?) bateu a marca mundial.

Os americanos já superaram o recorde 9 vezes, mesmo número da ex-União Soviética. Mas o país que mais superou recorde foi a Holanda, em 11 oportunidades, com 4 nadadoras diferentes.

Confira a evolução do recorde dos 200m peito, terminando com a nova marca de Rikke Pedersen obtida hoje em Barcelona:
