On June 19, Beijing time, the Budapest World Championships ended the first competition day of the swimming event, and the latest medal table has also been released. On the first day, the United States and Australia became big winners, each winning two gold medals. The United States topped the list with 2 gold, 1 silver and 3 bronze, and Australia ranked second with 2 gold and 1 silver. France finished third with a gold medal, while Japan won a gold medal in synchronized swimming (Japan profited because Russia was not allowed to participate), and tied for third place. China 0 medals, encountered Waterloo.
On the first swimming competition day, the Chinese team originally had the strength to win medals in multiple events. Li Bingjie is expected to hit the medal in the women's 400m freestyle and the Chinese relay team in the women's 4×100m freestyle relay. But the end result was not satisfactory. Li Bingjie, who won the bronze medal in the 400-meter freestyle event at the Olympic Games, only ranked 10th in the preliminaries and missed the final. Tang Muhan only finished 8th in the final. In the women's 4×100m freestyle relay, the Chinese relay team Zhang Yufei, Zhu Menghui, Yang Junxuan and Cheng Yujie finally won the 4th place, missing the medal.
In addition to the two medal-winning events, Wang Shun only finished 14th in the men's 400m individual medley preliminaries and missed the final. In the men's 400m freestyle, there was no successor to the Chinese legion without Sun Yang. The men's 4×100m freestyle relay is the world of Europe, america and Australia, and the Chinese team ranks 6th in the group and did not qualify for the final.
The United States and Australia emerged as big winners. In the women's 400m freestyle, Olympic runner-up Ledecky led the way without Titmus to break the World Championship record and win the championship. In the men's 4×100m freestyle relay, the United States led by Drexel beat Australia to win the gold medal. Australia also won two gold medals, the women's 4× 100m freestyle relay, and the men's 400m freestyle, winnington set the third best time in history to win the championship. France's Marchand won gold in the men's 400m medley.
On the first match day, the Chinese team played unsatisfactory. After the Olympic Games, there are no international competitions in China's captain's time, which may be an important reason for this. Of course, Zhang Yufei and Yan Zibei still successfully advanced to the final, hoping that they can break the current embarrassing situation of zero medals for China in the final.
