On February 16, 2024, the World Championships in Doha continued, and the Chinese team won a big victory, winning two more gold medals in swimming, from the men's 100-meter freestyle, the women's 4x200-meter freestyle relay, and four new world champions, 14-year-old Gong Zhenqi made history.
Men's 100-meter freestyle, Pan Zhanle won the gold in 47.53 seconds, this time it was also very thrilling, fortunately withstood the pressure at the critical moment, following the men's 4x100m freestyle relay, Pan Zhanle won the World Championships again, Italy's Miresi won the silver medal in 47.72 seconds, Hungary's Nemet won the bronze in 47.78 seconds, and another Chinese player Wang Haoyu swam 48.06 seconds, tied for seventh place in the final.
In the women's 4x200m freestyle relay, the Chinese team arranged Ai Yanhan, Gong Zhenqi, Li Bingjie, and Yang Peiqi in the finals, and Ma Yonghui appeared in the preliminary stage, and was later replaced by Ai Yanhan, swimming a good score of 7:47.26, winning the gold medal was exciting, the British team won the silver medal in 7:50.90, the Australian team won the bronze in 7:51.41, and the United States team went out early and missed the podium.
It is worth mentioning that the first two Chinese teams were ranked fifth, until Li Bingjie came out to complete the big reversal, surpassing the previous players to chase the first, and Yang Peiqi maintained the advantage to the end, although there were some regrets in the previous single event, which led some swimming fans to question, but in the face of new difficulties, Li Bingjie defeated himself again and led his teammates to the top strongly, this spirit is really admirable.
The Chinese team won the world championship for the first time, Ai Yanhan, Gong Zhenqi, Ma Yonghui, Yang Peiqi made a major breakthrough, of which Gong Zhenqi was only 14 years old, and he had a gold medal for the first time in the World Championships, which was really hard-won, from Zhang Zhanshuo to Gong Zhenqi, the rise of newcomers is gratifying, and Dong Zhihao ranked second in the men's 200m breaststroke to advance to the finals.
In the men's 200-meter medley, Canada's Knox won the gold, the United States Foster won the silver medal, Italy's Lazzetti won the bronze, the women's 200-meter butterfly, the British player Stephens won the gold, Denmark's Bach won the silver medal, Bosnia-Herzegovina's Pudar won the bronze, and Ma Yonghui won the fifth place, which is still a certain gap from the top three.
