The record-breaking swim was denied the world record because Mr. Taylor remained underwater for too long. Because he never surfaced before 15m, he was disqualified from the event - and therefore the record he set doesn't count. Do you think this is fair? Yes

As you can see at the end of the video, Mr. Taylor beat the 2nd place competitor by 3.22 seconds (which is a huge lead for backstroke swimming). Do you think the rules should be changed to allow his tremendous lead to count for the world record? Yes
