Men’s distance swimming has entered a new phase in the recent Olympic cycle. Athletes from around the globe have contributed to transforming the all-time top 10 in the 800 and 1500 freestyle, delivering exhilarating races that made it impossible to take a commercial break at the 650-meter mark. A captivating aspect of this transformation is that it seems unlikely to fade away soon. Not only are the leading stars still competing, but the upcoming generation of talented distance swimmers is emerging from the junior ranks, led by Kuzey Tunçelli.
Tunçelli made his mark in 2023, becoming the youngest athlete to surpass the 15-minute mark in the 1500 freestyle and securing double gold in the distance events at the 2023 World Junior Championships. He continued to progress in 2024, advancing his career on the senior international platform
