In this relay final, the reason why the British team was able to reverse the gold, the second stick of pitty who defended the Olympic men's 100-meter breaststroke gold medal, and the third stick of Guy's butterfly, played a decisive role, and it was the strong strength of these two sticks that made the British relay team successfully reverse the Chinese team. Of course, in this final, the four Chinese players have played well enough, and all four of them are the pride of China.
