The 2022 season is the most critical year for the Chinese swimming team to prepare for the Paris Olympic Games. After the Tokyo Olympics, the team has created a main lineup for the new Olympic cycle. In terms of the men's team, Wang Shun will take the lead alone, and veterans such as Xu Jiayu, Yan Zibei and Yu Hexin will gradually fade out of the national team. The women's team is "the little devil", and Zhang Yufei, who won 2 gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, became the leader of the Chinese team. Li Bingjie, Wang Jian Jiahe and other famous players are also the mainstay of the Chinese swimming team in the Paris Olympic cycle. This season, the Swimming World Championships is the first big test of the Chinese swimmers, and the performance of the main players and young players is worth looking forward to.
As a well-deserved leader of the Chinese swimming team, Zhang Yufei said in an interview that he will continue to work hard, brave the strong enemy on the field, strive to be the first, and defend his title at the Paris Olympic Games. In this regard, domestic netizens have said that Zhang Yufei is currently in the golden period of her career, as long as there is no physical injury, she is very likely to break the history of the Chinese swimming team at the Paris Olympic Games and become the female athlete with the largest number of Olympic gold medals in the whole team. Since the beginning of the new century, the Chinese women's swimming team has produced many Olympic champions, including breaststroke star Luo Xuejuan, butterfly gemini stars Liu Zige, Jiao Liuyang, Ye Shiwen, Li Bingjie and Zhang Yufei.
Among them, Zhang Yufei has currently won 2 gold and 2 silver results, ranking first among all the players. Two years later, at the Paris Olympic Games, Zhang Yufei will also launch an impact on the highest podium in the women's 100m and 200m butterfly, mixed relay between men and women, and women's 4 by 100m freestyle relay. Judging from the current strength, Zhang Yufei is alone in the women's 200-meter butterfly event, and the overall advantage is very obvious, and it is difficult for other foreign athletes to surpass Zhang Yufei in a short period of time. In the women's 100m event, Zhang Yufei won the silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics with a narrow margin.
She once said in an interview that she had a chance to win the championship, but there were some small mistakes in the turning process. After the Tokyo Olympics, Zhang Yufei revealed to everyone that she would carry out turnaround and edge technical training every day, just to improve her performance by a few percent of the time in the competition. At the Paris Olympics, Zhang Yufei's skills and experience will be further improved, and the gold medal in the women's 100-meter butterfly is getting closer and closer to her. The remaining two relay projects are more difficult for Zhang Yufei.
In the men's and women's 4 by 100m mixed relay event, with the fading of backstroke world champion Xu Jiayu and breaststroke master Yan Zibei, the Chinese team's competitiveness in this event is obviously declining. Even if Zhang Yufei is stronger in butterfly swimming, the overall strength is not as good as the American team and the Australian team. The Chinese team won the women's 4 by 200m freestyle at the Tokyo Olympics, and the four athletes may join forces again to play in Paris. At the Paris Olympics, Zhang Yufei is expected to hit 3 gold medals, and if she finally gets her wish, she will become the first person in the history of the Chinese swimming team with a score of 5 gold medals.
