【Preface】
On the evening of the 24th, the Hangzhou Asian Games are in full swing, and the people of the whole country are also concerned about whether China can win a few gold medals this time and whether there will be a picture of breaking the world record.
While people were concerned about how the athletes performed on the field, there was an episode at the post-race press conference in the 200-meter medley.
At that time, our Chinese athlete Wang Shun had just won the 14th gold medal of the Asian Games for the country in the men's 200m individual medley.
However, when he and his teammate Qin Haiyang were being interviewed, they suddenly looked at the live broadcast on the big screen on the side, and then the two opened their mouths in surprise, and the press conference was suspended.
What kind of thing would make the two so surprised?
【Asian Games Championship】
It turned out that what the two saw on the big screen was a live broadcast of the men's 100-meter freestyle final of the Asian Games on the other side.
In this competition, Pan Zhanle, a nineteen-year-old Chinese athlete, successfully won the competition and won a gold medal for China again.
If they just won the gold medal, they would not have surprised Wang Shun and Qin Haiyang so much, because although they and Pan Zhanle are not the same sports, they are also swimmers and have a certain understanding of each other.
He did this because in the final, Poon broke the previous record with an astonishing 46.97 and became the first Asian competitor to swim 47 seconds.
It is worth mentioning that the previous Asian record was actually set by Pan Zhanle, and it was also set at the World Championships two months ago.
It's just that because the record didn't swim in the final at the time, not many people knew that he broke the Asian record at the time.
However, although he did not stand on the podium at that World Championships, this achievement was undoubtedly recognized by the international community as the latest Asian record.
At that time, no one expected that this record would be broken so quickly, with only two months in between, and what was even more unexpected was that the person who broke this record was still the person who set the record last time.
This time, Pan Zhanle adjusted his strategy, and it was because of the previous competition, he designed his full strength from the beginning, resulting in some subsequent performances were not particularly good, and finally did not qualify for the podium.
But this time is different, he has always had reservations before, until the final final, he used his full strength, which won the championship in one fell swoop, and was dubbed "Asia's first flying fish" by the audience.
【Asian Flying Fish】
However, after the competition, Pan Zhanle faced an interview with reporters and said that he was not satisfied with his results this time.
It turned out that before the competition, Pan's goal was not to break his previous Asian record, but to break the world record of Romania's Popović of 46.86 last August.
Pan Zhanle's personality is also very interesting, he does not like to play cards according to the routine, and he actually said in an interview before that he is not a competitor who mainly trains short distance swimmers.
However, at the World Championships, he still said that his main training was long-distance swimming, and he did participate in long-distance competitions and won the championship, which led reporters to not know which sport he was focusing on.
Perhaps this is the real genius, whether it is the main training discipline or not, he can easily win the game and even break the record.
However, this also has certain advantages, after all, even his own people do not know what project he mainly trains, and his opponents are naturally even more unclear.
At the same time, during the post-match interview, the reporter asked Pan Zhanle: "His family is watching the game live, did it bring him motivation during the game?" ”
This is actually a very common question, and the vast majority of athletes answer this question when they are inspired by their families during the competition.
But Pan Zhanle is different, he said that he did not think so much, and said that these are foreign factors, the most important thing is that his training before the competition is very good.
Later, when a reporter asked him what tactics the coach had arranged before the game, Pan Zhanle's answer was even more direct, he said very simply that the coach did not arrange any tactics, after all, his level is already so high, rather than arranging tactics, it is better to see how he plays.
Such a simple and direct answer made the reporters who interviewed him sigh after the interview, saying that he had a youthful vigor and some cold feelings.
If you feel that Pan Zhanle has a youthful arrogance in him, then you are very wrong, because he is arrogant and very modest at the same time.
When he heard someone say that he was "China's No. 1 flying fish", his first reaction was not to accept the title happily, but to think that he was not qualified to be called "flying fish".
Later, he also said that he hoped to retain this title first, and after he successfully broke the world record in the future, he would become a "Chinese flying fish" again.
It can be seen that Pan Zhanle's heart is still very modest, and sometimes the reason why he looks very arrogant is because he has an athletic spirit in his bones to climb the peak, and this spirit has actually been shown when he was a child.
【Talented】
In 2004, Pan Zhanle was born in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, in an ordinary family, perhaps because he was born with the talent to be an athlete.
When he was a child, he looked stronger than other children of the same age, and when he was four years old, he was directly favored by the state and city junior swimming school and embarked on the road of athlete.
In fact, at the beginning, neither Pan Zhanle's father nor mother had the idea of letting their children learn to swim, because they felt that it was too dangerous for children to learn to swim at such a young age.
At that time, it was Grandpa Pan who spoke, saying that swimming can exercise the body and make Lele (Pan Zhanle) grow up better, and they are all such young children, there must be very complete safety measures, and finally persuaded Pan Zhanle's parents to let him learn to swim.
After that, Grandpa Pan, who was the most supportive of the child in the family in learning to swim, became the "royal driver" of little Pan Zhanle, riding the child to training every morning, and then watching his grandson train until the end, and then bringing the child back.
It is precisely because of this that little Pan Zhanle has worked hard for so many years, and grandpa has seen it all, and Grandpa Pan even knows more than his parents about how much his grandson has paid for swimming.
In 2013, Pan Zhanle was only nine years old, and when his peers were still scratching their ears and cheeks for a math problem at school, little Pan Zhanle had already begun to compete in the arena.
Because in this year, he won a number of championships in the 15th Wenzhou City Games, so his talent in swimming was officially discovered, and he entered the Wenzhou Sports School swimming team.
The following year, he participated in the 15th Zhejiang Provincial Games, winning four individual championships: 50m freestyle, 100m freestyle, 200m freestyle and 400m freestyle.
Together with his teammates, he won three relay races, all of which took place in five days, which meant that he won seven gold medals in just five days.
Such a talented player was naturally also seen by the Zhejiang Provincial Swimming Team, but he was too young at that time, so he did not choose to recruit.
Until 2018, 14-year-old Pan Zhanle reached the age to enter the provincial team, so the Zhejiang provincial swimming team rushed to his house non-stop to join the provincial team.
After that, Pan Zhanle won multiple championships in non-stop competitions, and was promoted from the provincial swimming team to the national team, and the most vigorous time of his career was this year.
【Go to the next level】
Now 19 years old, his physical development has become close to maturity, and his height of one meter ninety-eight and his arm span of two meters and one have become the biggest help for him to break the 47-second mark.
Only four people have ever reached this level in history, including Siello the Younger in Brazil, Bernard in France, and Dreysel in the United States, in addition to the current world record holder.
And Pan Zhanle has already stepped into this field, and he is still very young, and there is still a lot of room for growth in the future, it can be said that breaking the world record is already a sure thing.
At the beginning of the track and field competition, Liu Xiang used his results in the 110-meter hurdles to prove that the yellow race was no worse than others and became the first "Asian flyer".
At the Tokyo Olympics, Su Bingtian became the first Chinese to stand in the Olympic men's 100m final, and also broke the 9.9 seconds for Asians.
The pursuit of sports competitions is "higher, faster, stronger", and now Pan Zhanle has also proved that Chinese is not only no worse than them in athletics, but also in swimming.
The significance of Pan Zhanle's achievement to China and even the yellow race is not inferior to Liu Xiang's 110-meter hurdles and Su Bingtian's 9.83 seconds.
After all, in the history of Asia, only South Korean swimmer Hwang Sun-woo has ever stood on the stage of the Olympic final.
If Pan can continue to form now, he will not only become the second 100-meter freestyle to dominate the Olympic final at next year's Paris Olympics, but more likely the first yellow man to win the gold medal.
It is hoped that Pan Zhanle can go to the next level at the Paris Olympics next year and win the gold medal while fulfilling his desire to break the world record.
