2011July 3 1 day, Shanghai Swimming World Championships entered the last competition day. In the men's1500m freestyle final held that night, China's Sun Yang won the championship with a score of 14 minutes and 34 seconds 14, breaking the silence of the event 10.
While this world record, once called "unattainable", has become history, he has also become the second athlete to break the world record of "post-fast swimsuit era" in this World Championships after Rochet.
Extended data:
Men's1500m freestyle, like track and field marathon, is the most difficult event in swimming. The world record is called "fossil record", and it is also the only unconquered world record in the era of fast swimsuit.
At the Fukuoka World Championships in 200 1, Hackett, the "king of long distance" of Australia, swam an amazing result of 14 minutes and 34.56 seconds. Rumaili of Tunisia won the world championship in Rome two years ago.
But even wearing "shark skin", its score of 14 minutes and 37.28 seconds is far from the original record.
Therefore, it is generally believed that Hackett's record is even more out of reach after the cancellation of high-tech swimsuits. On a hot summer day in Shanghai, Sun Yang, who was less than 20 years old, invited Hackett down from the altar with dignity.
