The 2022 Budapest Swimming World Championships continued, and the final of the women's 200-meter freestyle came to an end, in which China's Yang Junxuan performed well and won gold, which was really exciting.
The women's 200m freestyle is relatively large, after all, the gap between many athletes in this event is not large! In the final, two Chinese players participated: Yang Junxuan, the previous Asian record winner, also helped the Chinese team win the gold medal in the Olympic relay; Another Chinese player, Tang Muhan, is also the champion of the National Games and the holder of the national record.
In the preliminary round, Yang Junxuan ranked 1st overall to advance to the semi-finals, and in the semi-finals, Yang Junxuan ranked 5th to advance to the final. In the final, although Yang Junxuan ranked 1st in the starting time, he was once squeezed to the 5th position, and Tang Muhan was once ranked 8th. However, Yang Junxuan rose to no. 1 after 100 meters, and then also withstood the pressure and successfully won the championship; And Tang Muhan is also very good, from the 8th place to catch up, and finally got the 3rd place, that is, the bronze medal.
Yang Junxuan's victory also made history: Yang Junxuan was the first Chinese athlete in the history of the World Championships to win a gold medal in the women's 200m freestyle, after Lü Bin and Yang Yu had won a silver medal at the World Championships for China in the event; In addition, Yang Junxuan won the first gold medal at the World Championships for the Chinese swimming team.
At the award ceremony, Yang Junxuan smiled shyly, and Tang Muhan also took the initiative to walk to Yang Junxuan's side and take a group photo with another winner, the Chinese girl is really a cow. Yang Junxuan won the championship, Tang Muhan reversed the card, and who else! Looking forward to the next performance of the Chinese swimming team.
