Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

Kristof Milak's 200 fly marker of 1:50.34 is more than one second faster than the #2 swimmer in history, Michael Phelps. Archive photo via Fabio Cetti. Of all the titles in swimming, there is arguably none greater than “world record holder.” To hold this title means you stand at the top of years of history in an event.

Here is a collection of those records (in no particular order).
