In the 2024 Doha World Swimming Championships men's 100m flying fish battle, we guessed the result but did not guess the process correctly, Pan Zhanle did deserve to win the gold medal, but it was not a complete victory, and it can even be said to be a little thrilling. Pan Zhanle's winning time of 47.53 seconds is really not amazing, and it is not even as fast as when he finished fourth at the last World Championships, which was 47.43 seconds.
Judging from the broadcast screen, Pan Zhanle played smoothly in the first 50 meters, but did not establish any advantages, and the last 50 meters should have accelerated wildly, but I didn't see "crazy". The red arrow provided by the broadcaster shows that in the last 20 meters of the sprint, several athletes went hand in hand, Pan Zhanle, Wang Haoyu, Italy's Miresi, and Hungary's Nemes quickly changed rankings, Pan Zhanle once ranked fourth, and finally resisted the pressure and touched the wall first.
Through the author's repeated viewing of the video and getting in touch with the front, it can be preliminarily judged that Pan Zhanle's once backward to the fourth place should be the mistake of the broadcaster, marking the wrong ranking. Pan Zhanle has actually maintained a slight lead, but it is precisely because the lead is not obvious that it leads to the mistake of the broadcaster. Pan Zhanle can be said to have won a thrilling victory, this result can only be placed in the last World Championships can only be fifth, put in the Tokyo Olympics will not be able to win a medal, so the Paris Olympics may also be difficult to win.
In the post-game interview, Pan Zhanle admitted that he was a little nervous, he didn't expect the final results to be so slow, and he didn't know what the problem was for a while. In the author's judgment, Pan Zhanle's continuous combat ability needs to be improved, and the 100-meter freestyle is more than three shots, coupled with the relay task, which may have an impact on physical strength. There is also the fact that the final is regarded as the first favorite, and in the case of not allowing mistakes, there is a burden.
At the Paris Olympics, Pan will face more tough opponents, such as last year's world champion Chalmers of Australia, Tokyo Olympic champion American superstar Dressel and former world record holder Popovich of Romania. Of course, Pan Zhanle has confidence, but he still has to walk on thin ice like facing the abyss, and he can't be blindly optimistic, after all, the 100-meter freestyle short distance is more accidental, and his body is a little tight, and he may fall out of the ranking.
If Pan Zhanle's physical reserves go to a higher level and control his mentality, he will undoubtedly still be the first favorite in the Paris Olympics, and the key now is to "accumulate strength", after all, Xiao Pan is thinner and less "resistant", and if there are too many competition tasks, it is easy to have problems.
