On February 25, Beijing time, reporter Sun Xiaoxue's news, the 2022 National Swimming Championships schedule, projects, participation qualifications announced, the magic is that the 400-meter backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and 800-meter individual medley events have been set up. Olympic champion Ye Shiwen was also frightened: "Will the Iron Man project be permanent?" ”
As we all know, in the international competition, the freestyle sets up 50-1500 meters, while the backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly set up 50-200 meters, and the medley sets up 200 and 400 meters.
This time, the 2022 National Swimming Championships not only set up the above events (50, 100, 200 meters freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, 400, 800, 1500 meters freestyle and 200, 400 meters individual medley), but also set up 400 meters backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and 800 meters individual medley, such a set of projects is rare.
To this end, even Ye Shiwen was frightened, "Will the Iron Man Project be permanent?" Obviously, Ye Shiwen is concerned about his main individual medley. Generally speaking, the 400-meter individual medley is already a very tiring event in swimming competitions, after all, this event is 4 swimming positions, and the distance is not short. Ye Shiwen's results in the 200 mix and the 400 mix are very good, but she may also be a little worried about the 800 mix. In addition, Ye Shiwen's breaststroke is also very strong, but the 400-meter breaststroke is also uncommon.
All in all, such a national competition is very "innovative", how effective is it? You can take a look at it then. At the Tokyo Olympics, the Performance of the Chinese Swimming Team was outstanding, including Wang Shun, Zhang Yufei and others who won the individual event championships. The new cycle of the Chinese swimming team is very exciting. As for whether Ye Shiwen can return to the king, we can also take a good look.
