She knocked nearly 10 seconds off her previous time of 15:48.96, which won her bronze at the 2022 World Championships, and is now only a quarter of a second behind Lotte Friis for the second fastest performer all-time.
She jumps from #17 to #3 in the all-time rankings, and this swim ranks just outside of the top 25 ever, coming in at #26. Lotte Friis‘s 15:38.88 from 2013 is the only performance not by Katie Ledecky to be in the top 25.
She shattered the previous National Record of 15:46.13 that Maddy Gough put on the books at Olympic Trials in 2021, and also dipped under New Zealander Lauren Boyle‘s Commonwealth record of 15:40.14. That marks her second National Record after the week after she broke Ariarne Titmus‘s mark in the 800 freestyle, where she also now ranks #3 all-time.

She has a clean sweep of Commonwealth records in the 1500, after setting the short course mark of 15:21.43 en route to winning gold at the 2022 short course World Championships in Melbourne.
In today’s final Pallister absolutely blitzed the second half compared to her 2022 swim, coming back over eight seconds faster in the second 750m (7:51.87 to 8:00.24). She kept every 50m split other than the 1250m-1300m under 32 seconds here.

This was her fourth best time of the week, having set new marks in the 200 free (1:54.89), 400 free (3:59.72) and 800 free (8:10.84).
With Ariarne Titmus not competing this year, Pallister will carry the torch for the Australian women in the mid-distance and distance freestyle events in Singapore, and looks a threat for the podium in the 400, 800 and 1500 freestyles.
