格拉斯曼(Glassman)说，奥运选手们会吃很多的食物——其分量甚至大于普通人处于极度饥饿状态的食量。游泳名将迈克尔?菲尔普斯(Michael Phelps)在2008年北京奥运会惊艳表现的秘诀之一就是，他每天都会消耗高达12000卡路里的热量。

Glassman said Olympians eat a lot of food - quantities that for ordinary people would constitute pigging out. One secret of swimmer Michael Phelps' astonishing performance in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing was consuming as many as 12,000 calories in one day.

The longest event in the pool, the 1,500 meter freestyle is a true testament of endurance. Sun Yang broke the world record of 13 minutes 34.14 seconds he set in World Aquatics Championships last year, when he succeeded Australia’s reigning champion of a decade, Grant Hackett.
