World Record – Germany Dominates 4×50sf Men’s Relay In Olsztyn - Finswimmer Magazine

An unforgettable moment unfolded at the 2025 CMAS European Championship Finswimming in Olsztyn, Poland 🇵🇱, as Team Germany 🇩🇪 set a sensational World Record in the men’s 4×50 surface relay (4×50SF) with a time of 01:00.47.

The German quartet—Max Poschart (1994), Niklas Lössner (2006), Justus Morstedt (2001), and Marek Leipold (2006)—delivered a near-flawless performance, combining explosive speed, seamless transitions, and impeccable timing. Their collective effort shattered expectations and brought the packed Aquasfera crowd to its feet.

From the very first leg, Max Poschart—already a record-setter earlier in the championship—set the pace with his signature power and precision. Young talents Lössner and Leipold, both born in 2006, showed maturity beyond their years, maintaining momentum with incredible turns and breakout speed. Justus Morstedt anchored the relay with a final leg that sealed the record-breaking mark.

Clocking in at 1:00.47, Team Germany not only took gold but rewrote the record books, establishing themselves as the fastest 4×50SF men’s team in the world. The result is a testament to Germany’s depth, strategic execution, and generational strength in finswimming.

This world record is yet another highlight in what is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling European Championships in CMAS history. With multiple records already broken in Olsztyn, the 2025 edition is proving to be a defining chapter in modern finswimming.

Congratulations to Team Germany – the new kings of the 4×50SF! 🥇🌍🔥
