Paris 2024 - Chinese Olympic Star Pan Zhanle's World Record Questioned

Photo dated July 31, 2024 shows Gold medalist Pan Zhanle of China attends the press conference after the men's 100m freestyle final of swimming at Paris 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France. An Australian swimming commentator and coach has said Pan Zhanle’s record-breaking victory in the Olympic 100-metre freestyle was “not humanly possible”. The Chinese superstar’s win in 46.40 seconds sparked celebrations back in China, but has been met with suspicion by his rivals. Australia’s Kyle Chalmers posted a time of 47.48, more than a second adrift of Pan, and commentator and coach Brett Hawke, who is not a member of the country’s Olympic set-up, expressed disbelief at the commanding manner of the victory on his Instagram page.
