In addition to setting a world record of 46.80 seconds in the men's 100m freestyle at the 2024 World Swimming Championships in Doha, Pan Zhanle also vividly interpreted the temperament of a superstar. Although he is only 19 years old, although he has just attracted the attention of the world, Pan Zhanle's domineering spirit in the world has been shown, and he is better than Sun Yang in this regard.
When the reporter asked Pan Zhanle if he was under pressure or nervous after breaking the world record, Pan Zhanle said: "I am not nervous at all, I am afraid of those people (foreign athletes) in the check-in office." In fact, the players in the check-in office are also world-class, but Pan Zhanle doesn't take the opponent in his eyes at all, just like Yan Liangwen is so powerful, but in Guan Yu's opinion, he is just a bid to sell the first and a local chicken and tile dog.
To become a swimming superstar, you must have extraordinary talent, long-term self-discipline and outstanding competitive temperament, all of which Pan Zhanle has, he is regarded as the best sprint freestyle swimmer of all time, full of love for swimming, and not to mention the psychological quality, with the unique mental strength of an athlete - can change everything, not be changed by everything.
You may think that Pan Zhanle was young and frivolous, and after breaking the world record, he was a little floating, so much so that he said that the whole world was afraid of him or something. In fact, Pan Zhanle is full of confidence in himself deep down, and has an uncontrollable spirit of tyrant, and when he was not famous, he replied to CCTV reporters, and won the fourth place in the World Championships at that time.
Some criticized Sun Yang for being too rampant, scolding the British as losers, and ridiculing the Japanese national anthem as unpleasant, failing to make a good impression on the Western media. This kind of remarks are more or less servile, why can't we Chinese athletes express our own individuality, and why do we do everything possible to curry favor with Europe and the United States? Pan Zhanle's remark that "foreign athletes are afraid of me" will certainly be used by some Western media to make trouble, but we should not care about them.
After Yao Ming, Liu Xiang and Li Na, Chinese sports have been lacking elite athletes in mainstream international sports, and Australian Open runner-up Zheng Qinwen has given us some hope, but she is clearly not yet dominant in tennis. And Pan Zhanle has absolute hard power to crush all opponents, and is young enough and has enough potential, coupled with the superstar style of who else is not me, he is expected to become the banner of Chinese sports in the future.
