The National Swimming Championships were wonderful: Wan Lotian won the championship and broke the record, and Pan Zhanle won his first personal gold
On the 4th match day of the 2023 National Swimming Championships, there were wonderful splashes and remarkable results in various events. From the speed challenge of the women's 50-meter backstroke to the endurance competition of the men's 1500-meter freestyle, the athletes once again proved the profound strength of Chinese swimming with their outstanding performance and tenacious willpower.
In the women's 50m backstroke, Wan Lotian paddled 27.95 seconds in the water with her excellent technique and speed, not only winning the gold medal, but also reaching the A standard of the World Championships in Doha. Yu Yiting also lived up to expectations, winning her fifth medal with a personal best in the fierce competition, demonstrating her determination to constantly break through herself in the water.
The men's 100m freestyle event was a battle of speed and furious. Poon won his first individual gold medal in 47.60 seconds, bringing his total number of gold medals to three. And Ji Xinjie is not far behind, he ranks fifth in the history of the event with a personal best of 48.26 seconds.
In the men's 200m medley, Zhao Liangzhou won the first place with 2:01.66. However, it is worth noting that no one in this competition can meet the World Championship A standard. In addition, Yan Zibei wore a swimming cap with Wang Shun's name to participate in the competition, and "invited God" with this. He explained that it is a spiritual inheritance and a tribute to the predecessors.
In the women's 200m butterfly, Chen Luying showed excellent competitive form, setting a new personal best of 2:08.36 and winning the championship. Although Zhang Yufei did not achieve good results this time, she has already won four consecutive championships before and maintained the best time of the season with 2:05.57.
The men's 1500m freestyle is a competition that challenges the limits of physical strength and perseverance. Fei Liwei performed well in the long distance event, finishing first in 14:57.47 and closing in on the Asian Games victory. Zhang Zhanshuo also broke his personal record, with a time of 15:03.07 for him to win his third gold medal.
The relay stage is always a team spirit and exciting event. In the men's and women's 4x100m medley relay, the Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang and Shandong teams played well and won 3:42.34. Xu Jiayu, Qin Haiyang and Zhang Yufei added a valuable relay gold medal to the Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang and Shandong United teams.
