Tennessee swimmer Martin Espernberger set an Austrian record in the men’s 200-meter butterfly Wednesday at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.

Espernberger, a rising junior for the Vols, finished sixth in the finals of the event. He recorded a time of 1 minute, 54.17 seconds. The mark was half a second off his previous personal best time.

With the record-breaking effort Wednesday, Espernberger concluded his first trip to the Olympics.

He won a bronze medal in 200-meter butterfly at the World Championships in February.

Espernberger, a native Linz, Austria, won a gold medal in the 200-meter butterfly at the 2024 SEC championships. He also owns two All-America certificates, winning one in 2023 and 2024.
