The men’s 1500m final virtual race

Press play to see the men’s 1500 freestyle final presented in google motion chart. Sun Yang’s and Grant Hackett’s record paces are in lane 4. The chart default state is set to resemble top view of the pool. However, the axis, bubble size and colours and the chart type can be modified. For example if the y-axis is set to “Split” instead of “Lane” the bubbles will trail each other up and down in a virtual ‘pace pool’.
