On January 5, Swim Swam, an authoritative professional swimming media in the United States, announced the winner of the 2021 Asian Best Male Swimmer, and Wang Shun, the men's 200m individual medley champion at the Tokyo Olympic Games, won this honor. Wang Shun was not only the only Chinese male swimmer to reach the podium at the Tokyo Olympics, but also the only Asian male swimmer to win the gold medal.
At the National Games in Shaanxi, China, held shortly after the Tokyo Olympics, the 27-year-old "veteran" won 6 gold medals alone, becoming the athlete who won the most gold medals in the history of the National Games with a total of 15 gold medals. 2021 is a year of wang shun's years of hard training and achievements, and it is an extraordinary year for him to accumulate and develop. With good grades, high looks, outstanding figure, and decent speech and demeanor, Wang Shun has become a high-quality idol in the Chinese sports world. After learning that he had won this honor, Wang Shun also posted pictures to celebrate through his social account, but did not write down only a few words, only showed a victory gesture, at this time his mood was all in silence.
Time back to Beijing time on July 30, 2021, the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games Men's 200m Individual Medley Relay Final at the Olympic Aquatics Center in Koto-ku, Tokyo, Japan, was held here. Chinese boy Wang Shun, swimming a good time of 1 minute 55 seconds 00, in the fierce competition with many world masters, spelled a precious gold medal, following the Rio Olympic Games 5 years ago, two consecutive Olympic Games to win medals, and the medal turned gold. Wang Shun, with his own hard work to justify the name of the Chinese male swimming, he realized his wish to raise the national flag in Tokyo and play the national anthem.
More significantly, Wang Shun broke the monopoly of the American athletes on the event for 17 years since the 2004 Athens Olympics, setting a new record for Chinese athletes winning the World Series in the individual medley event, the gold medal is the biggest compliment to the 27-year-old veteran's five-year-long preparation period of hard training.
After coming out of the water, Wang Shun tried to calm his mood as much as possible, but the words spoken were sonorous and powerful, "Something incredible!" I couldn't believe I could swim this result, but I just did it. I have to thank the motherland for ensuring a good training environment during such a special period of serious epidemic and successfully participating in the Olympic Games. I would also like to thank my coach Zhu Zhigen, thank my team, it is everyone's efforts to have this gold medal. Our mission is very important, especially in Tokyo, and I fulfilled my wish to raise the flag and play the national anthem in Tokyo before the game. Talking about the experience of three Olympic games, Wang Shun said, "When I was a child at the London Olympics, it was more relaxed, and there was still a bit of fun at that time, just watching the big brothers and sisters winning the gold medal." When I was in Rio, I wanted to compete with my teammates, and I wanted to take the cards when they won. And this time, I just want to focus on being myself. ”
Wang Shun's highlight moment in 2021 is far from over. Only a little more than a month later, he ended the quarantine, and before he could carry out systematic training, he rushed to Xi'an and continued to soar on the field of the National Games, this time shouldering the heavy responsibility of winning honors for his hometown Zhejiang. Wang Shun, who can reach the highest podium on the big stage of the Olympic Games, is simply in the swimming pool of the Xi'an Olympic Sports Center Swimming Pool, easily winning one gold medal after another, and its strong momentum is unbeatable. He won 15 gold medals in the history of the individual National Games, continuing his record of the largest number of gold medals in the National Games. In this regard, Wang Shun said, "I don't care too much about the gold medal record, I pay more attention to the process of the game, I don't have to be harsh on a goal, I will do my best to fight in each competition, and there will naturally be good results after hard work." ”
When talking about his future plans and plans, Wang Shun, who is 27 years old and can be called a veteran, is arrogant, "The 2022 Asian Games for me is carried out at the doorstep of my home (Hangzhou), and I will go all out in front of the people in my hometown to repay their trust, care and love for me." With only 3 years to go until the Paris Olympics, I will continue to work with my coach to train hard for new goals. I will also participate in the next 2025 National Games in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and I will definitely stick to it until then and will not leave the pool. Having spent most of my life in the pool, I found myself truly passionate about the sport. ”
Becoming an Olympic champion, the gold king in the history of the National Games, the tall and handsome high-quality idol Wang Shun has received great attention in all aspects, and he also took on the heavy responsibility of the standard-bearer of the Zhejiang delegation at the opening ceremony of the National Games, and many things have become different from the past. In this regard, Wang Shun is how to see, "In fact, I am still myself, just an ordinary swimmer, and I hope that everyone will pay more attention to my work as a job and pay attention to my performance on the field." ”
