On July 26, 2023, the fourth competition day of the World Aquatics Championships ushered in a fierce preliminary round. Wang Shun, Pan Zhanle and other celebrities of the Chinese swimming team will appear in this day's competition, and they will fight for the honor of their country. However, there was some sad news that Zhang Yufei had to withdraw from her main event, the 200m butterfly, in order to compete in the mixed relay.
Looking back at the first three competition days, the Chinese swimming team performed well, having already won 2 gold medals and 3 bronze medals, which put them in third place in the medal table in swimming events. Among them, Qin Haiyang has shown amazing dominance in the men's breaststroke event, breaking the Asian record almost every time. After winning gold in the 100m breaststroke, he competed unstoppably for gold in the 50m breaststroke. In addition, Wang Shun, Zhang Yufei, Pan Zhanle and other famous players will continue to fight for more gold medals for the Chinese team.
The first was the women's 50m backstroke heats, where two Chinese athletes, Wan Lotian and Wang Xueer, competed together in the third and sixth lanes of Group 6. Also in their group are American Reagan Smith and Australia's Kelly McKeon. In the end, Wan Lotte finished third in the group with a time of 27.84 seconds, while Wang Xueer ranked fourth in the group in 27.89 seconds, and both Chinese athletes successfully advanced to the semifinals.
In the men's 100m freestyle heats, Wang Haoyu and Pan Zhanle also performed well. They appeared in Group 11, with Wang Haoyu in lane 2 and Pan Zhan Le in lane 4. Pan Zhanle showed strong back-up strength and completed a last-minute comeback, finishing first in the group with a time of 47.84 seconds, while Wang Haoyu swam 48.64 seconds to rank eighth in the group. In terms of overall results, Pan Zhan Lok successfully advanced to the semi-finals with a fifth place, while Wang Haoyu failed to qualify in 22nd place.
Next up was the men's 200m individual medley heats, with Olympic champion Wang Shun on the fourth lane of Group 4. He finished fifth in his group in 1:59.05 and finished 16th overall, narrowly missing out on reaching the semi-finals, a thrilling event. In the women's 200m butterfly heats, China's Yu Liyan was in the second lane of Group 3, finishing fifth in the group with a time of 2:09.29 and 10th overall, successfully advancing to the semifinals. However, Zhang Yufei was originally scheduled to compete in Group 4, but she chose to withdraw for the mixed relay final in the evening. As the Olympic champion of this event, this decision is undoubtedly regrettable.
Finally, the preliminary round of the men's and women's 4x100m medley relay kicked off, with the Chinese team consisting of Xu Jiayu, Yan Zibei, Wang Yichun and Wu Qingfeng. They play against the likes of Australia, Great Britain and Japan in Group 4. In the end, the Chinese team finished second in the group with a time of 3:42.49 and successfully advanced to the final. In the final, the Chinese team still has a lot of room for improvement, and famous players such as Qin Haiyang and Zhang Yufei are expected to participate, and the Chinese team will strive for the championship of the event, and even hope to challenge the world record!
During this exciting competition day, the Chinese swimming team showed strong strength and teamwork spirit. Their wonderful performances are exciting to look forward to the next competition, and I believe they will win more honors for the country. In this arena, every athlete is fighting for their dreams, and every moment is full of sweat and perseverance. We look forward to seeing them achieve another great result in the next competitions and write a new brilliant chapter for Chinese swimming."
