14 Minutes and 26.79 seconds THAT is how long it took the 19 year old from Germany Johannes Liebmann to break the world record in the 1500 freestyle. That swim absolutely DESTROYES the old record of 14:30.67 set by Bobby Finke to win gold at the Paris Olympics, and it also caps off a frankly RIDICULOUS year of improvements for Liebmann that we first saw hints of back in April. We’re going to break down EXACTLY how Liebmann smashed this record, how MUCH FASTER he’s gotten over just the last year, and the technical details of his swim that made the whole thing possible
