🌟🏊‍♂️ NEW WORLD RECORD IN CHENGDU! 🌟

On August 10, 2025, at The World Games in Chengdu, China, Hungarian finswimming star Nándor Kiss 🇭🇺 delivered an unforgettable performance in the Men’s 400m Surface, smashing his own world record with a stunning time of 2:52.68.

The new mark improves upon his previous record of 2:54.64, which he had set just a few months earlier at the World Games Series in March 2025. This achievement cements Kiss’s dominance in the event and further elevates his status as one of the fastest and most consistent athletes in the sport.

Representing Team Hungary, Kiss showcased a masterclass in speed, stamina, and technique, maintaining a perfectly balanced pace through all four laps before unleashing a powerful final sprint. The result was a swim that not only earned him the gold medal but also set a new global benchmark for the discipline.

The 400m Surface event is one of finswimming’s most challenging races, demanding exceptional aerobic capacity, flawless underwater efficiency, and razor-sharp turns. Kiss’s performance in Chengdu was a display of all these qualities at their peak — a race executed with precision from start to finish.

Fans around the world celebrated the achievement, with the CMAS (World Underwater Federation) and fellow athletes praising the Hungarian champion for his relentless pursuit of excellence.
