A New Era in Swimming: Liebmann's Record Breaking Sprint Shakes Up the Sport The European Aquatics Championships witnessed a seismic shift in the world of competitive swimming on Saturday.
Johannes Liebmann, the 19 year old German sensation, shattered the men's 1,500m freestyle record with a time of 14 minutes 26. 79 seconds.
This achievement eclipses the marks set by Australian legends Grant Hackett and Kieren Perkins over two decades ago.
