At 1 o'clock in the morning on February 17, in the men's 200-meter breaststroke final of the just-concluded Doha World Swimming Championships, China's 18-year-old Dong Zhihao won the championship. It's a young man under 20 years old again.
It's a shame to say that this gold medal was completely out of our plans.
Dong Zhihao was the fourth place in the last World Championships in Fukuoka, and the top three in this World Championships did not come.
However, Dong Zhihao only finished second in the semifinals.
In today's final, there was nothing to do with Dong Zhihao in the first 50 meters, his first 50 meters, 6th, the second 50 meters, 6th, the third 50 meters, 6th, 2.5 meters behind.
Although the commentary said that Dong Zhihao's game was a late attack, it was really hard to believe that in the World Championships pool where everyone is a master, he could chase 2.5 meters in the last 50 meters.
As soon as he turned around at 150 meters, Dong Zhihao began his reversal journey.
couldn't take it, just in the last 6 or 7 meters, Dong Zhihao swam to the first place and was the first to touch the wall.
Dong Zhihao's winning time was 2:07.94, which was not much faster than the 2:08.04 of the last World Championships. This result was still 4th in the last World Championships.
Unplanned gold medals, crazy ways to win gold. After the game, I watched Dong Zhihao being interviewed, and I felt that he and his figure were atypical, and he seemed to be a little chubby, rather than the tall and muscular type of ordinary swimmers.
But that's how Dong Zhihao won 21 gold medals for the Chinese team at this World Championships.
It means that the Chinese team has created unprecedented historical achievements, and the number of gold medals in one World Swimming Championships has reached 21.
Moreover, there are 2 days of competition, and there are 2-3 gold points. In this World Championships, Chinese swimming really won hemp.
Will there be any unplanned gold medals?
Finally, I have to mention again: China's breaststroke has really found the golden key.
