Ye Shiwen: The state is declining, and there is no consecutive world championship
Fu Yuanhui: The state declined, and she missed the World Series consecutively
Liu Xiang: The state is declining, and there is no consecutive world championship
Ning Zetao: The state has declined and he has retired
Xu Jiayu: The status declined, and the results did not meet expectations
The Budapest Swimming World Championships are being carried out in an orderly manner, and the overall performance of Chinese athletes is mixed with joy and worry. The Chinese swimming team has seen the emergence of many high-quality players, but unfortunately many of them have declined in status, and the follow-up development has not met expectations.
Ye Shiwen regretted not being eligible for the World Championships, which was the second time she had not qualified for the World Series after the Tokyo Olympics. Talented, Ye Shiwen excelled in medley and won gold medals at the World Championships and Olympic Games at a young age. However, after the blockbuster, Ye Shiwen was plagued by injuries and illness, and his state also declined significantly.
Like Ye Shiwen, fu yuanhui and Liu Xiang faded from public view. Fu Yuanhui is well known for her bronze medal at the Rio Olympics and the "Power of the Flood", while Liu Xiang has repeatedly broken the 50-meter backstroke world record. However, now the two have also missed the World Series consecutively.
Ning Zetao and Xu Jiayu, two male players, also feel a bit of a pity. After the Incheon Asian Games, Ning Zetao, who was hampered by injuries and business activities, failed to go further and has now retired; Xu Jiayu, who won the men's 100m backstroke gold medal at the World Championships twice, had high hopes, but the Tokyo Olympics were in a slump and the performance so far at the World Swimming Championships has not been ideal.
It is a pity that some athletes will soon decline after reaching the peak, but the high-quality players who look at the successor from another perspective have more opportunities to show themselves and prove themselves.
