作為泳池中距離最長的比賽，1,500米自由泳是考驗選手耐力的一塊試金石。孫楊此次打破了自己去年在世界遊泳錦標賽上創造的14分34秒14的世界紀錄。在去年的世界錦標賽上，孫楊打破了澳大利亞遊泳名將哈克特(Grant Hackett)保持了10年之久的紀錄。
As a race over the longest distance in a pool, 1,500 meter free style is a touch stone that tests the stamina of swimmers. This time Sun Yang breaks the record of 14m34s created by himself at the world tournament last year, whereas before that the record by Grant Hackett had been there over ten years.
