On June 21, the Swimming World Championships continued, in the women's 100m breaststroke final, Italy's Pilato won the championship with a time of 1 minute 05 seconds 93 seconds, this 18-year-old Tang Qianting was very sorry, once had the opportunity to impact the medal, but unfortunately won the 7th place, the final result was 1 minute 06 seconds 41, did not open the 1 minute 06 second mark, very unfortunate.
In this game, Tang Qianting has a chance, her results in the women's 100m breaststroke preliminaries and semi-finals are 1 minutes 05.99 seconds and 1 minutes 05.97 seconds respectively, this result can be placed in the final can get the top three, stand on the podium, but unfortunately Tang Qianting did not continue to be in good shape. The most regrettable thing is that the process of the final can be said to be a twist and turn.
Before the start of the final, Tang Qianting's overall result in the semi-final was third, and she was in the third lane in the final. After the start of the race, Tang Qianting's lead was very obvious, and she ranked first in the first 50 meters, 0.03 seconds ahead of the second place. Including when there are still 15 meters left, it shows that Tang Qianting is still in the top three. But unfortunately, the last 10 meters Tang Qianting collapsed, she was physically weak, was continuously surpassed by the opponent, from the first place to the top three, and then finally to the side of the performance fixed in the seventh place, a huge regret.
Tang Qianting's second half of the journey is indeed a problem, it is worth mentioning that before the competition, the 2015 World Championship champion, the 2017 Budapest World Championships women's 200 meters breaststroke bronze medalist Shi Jinglin commented and predicted, staged a divine prophecy, she said: "Tang Qianting's characteristics are relatively good speed and explosiveness, the first 50 meters of swimming is very fierce, the semi-final results are the same as the preliminaries, entering within 1 minute and 06 seconds, and also advancing to the final. The last 25 meters are where she needs to strengthen, needs to have a better performance, and hopefully surprises us. ”
Obviously, Shi Jinglin's prediction of Tang Qianting is correct, Tang Qianting in the first 50 meters is in the first place, ahead of everyone, and even until the 80 meters are in a good position, but unfortunately, in the final stage, Tang Qianting did not resist the pressure, of course, if you strengthen the back end, while the future also continues to maintain such a strong fighting force, then Tang Qianting's future must be expected.
Tang Qianting's future is generally optimistic, she was born on March 14, 2004, this year is only 18 years old, very young. Selected for the national team 2 years ago, she is now the national champion and Asian record holder in the women's 100m breaststroke, and is also looking forward to Tang Qianting's next performance and striving for breakthroughs in individual and relay events.
