The Bulgarian stopped the clock at 1:46.48 minutes, setting a new national men's record in the event. He improved his previous personal best by 0.02 seconds. In the final, Petar Mitsin was beaten only by David Popovici of Romania, the reigning Olympic champion in the discipline from the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. Popovici finished in 1:43.64.
