Chinese swimmer Pan Zhanle has made a splash in the world of aquatics, shattering the 800-meter free World Cup record with a time of 7:35.30. This impressive feat eclipses the previous record set by Olympian Gabriele Detti in 2017. Pan's achievement is all the more remarkable considering he was facing strong competition from Korea's Kim Junwoo, who held the lead for over half the race.
