The shortlist of FINA best male and female swimmers was released, and China's Qin Haiyang was nominated. However, he faces stiff competition from France's Marchand and Tunisia's Havnoi. In the list of nominees for the Best Female Athlete Award, China's Zhang Yufei unfortunately failed, and Sherström, McKeon and O'Callaghan were nominated.
At present, Qin Haiyang has a relatively low percentage of votes, with Marchand and Havernoi leading the way. This has raised concerns about voting channels, with some questioning whether there has been injustice. However, FINA's official platform says the voting process is open and transparent, and everyone has the opportunity to participate.
As the representative of the Chinese swimming community, Qin Haiyang's nomination is undoubtedly a recognition of his hard training and achievements over the years. He has set new records many times in world competitions and won honors for the Chinese team. However, in the face of superstars such as Marchand and Havalnoi, Qin Haiyang is under great pressure.
Marchand is the pride of the French swimming community, and he has achieved amazing things in a short period of time. Havernoi represents the rise of Tunisian swimmers and has shown astonishing prowess in world competitions. Both players are strong competitors of Qin Haiyang, and their outstanding performance makes Qin Haiyang face a huge challenge.
In the list of nominations for the Best Female Athlete Award, Zhang Yufei's defeat caused some controversy. She has won several good results in international competitions, but was not nominated. In contrast, the names of Sherström, McKeon and O'Callaghan appear on the nomination list, which also indicates that they have performed even better in the past year.
However, in either the men's or women's division, the eventual winner will depend on the outcome of the vote. At present, Qin Haiyang's low percentage of the vote does not mean that he does not have a chance to win. After all, the voting results are decided by swimming enthusiasts around the world, and everyone has the right to choose the best swimmer in their mind.
The selection of the best male and female swimmers is not only a recognition of individual achievements, but also an affirmation of the entire swimming community. This has also inspired more swimmers to pay more attention to and support their swimming idols.
Regardless of the final result, this selection will be a major event in the swimming world. It not only represents a recognition of the outstanding athletes of the past year, but also a hope for the future development of swimming. While the competition is fierce, we also hope to see the rise of more young athletes and inject new vitality into the swimming world.
In short, the selection of the best male and female swimmers of FINA has aroused widespread attention and discussion. The nominations of China's Qin Haiyang and Zhang Yufei took the spotlight, while Marchand and Havernoi were strong rivals. Issues such as voting channels and vote rates have also become the focus of attention. Regardless of the final result, this selection will become a major event in the swimming world, injecting new vitality into the entire swimming community.
