At the National Swimming Championships, the Chinese Swimming Corps continued to create good results. In the women's 100-meter freestyle final, 22-year-old Yang Junxuan ushered in a new breakthrough, winning the championship with a time of 52.68 seconds and breaking the national record, Wu Qingfeng won second in 53.25 seconds, and Cheng Yujie won third in 53.27 seconds. Yang Junxuan has achieved a transformation, which is of great significance for the Chinese swimming team to hit a number of relay gold medals in the Paris Olympics.
Yang Junxuan won the 4x200m freestyle relay with her teammates at Tokyo 2021 and is an Olympic champion in the women's 100m freestyle and 200m freestyle.
Yang Junxuan's improvement in freestyle is very crucial in the relay competition. The Chinese women's 4x200m freestyle and 4x100m freestyle both have the strength to impact medals in the Paris Olympics, while the Chinese women's 4x100m medley relay has greatly increased and has the strength to impact the gold medal. After all, Zhang Yufei and Tang Qianting are among the top active players in the butterfly and breaststroke respectively, and they are the number one favorites for gold medals.
In addition, in the backstroke, Wan Lotian and Wang Xueer maintained a good form, although they were not at the top level, but they did not fall too far behind. The Chinese women's 4x100 medley relay is indeed very competitive.
In addition, with Yang Junxuan's breakthrough, the strength of China's mixed relay event is also improving, and there are more choices. At the Tokyo Olympics, Yang Junxuan won the silver medal in the 4×100m medley relay, and the level of the Chinese team is now collectively upgraded by male and female athletes, and there is a lot to be done in the mixed relay event to hit medals and even gold medals.
Yang Junxuan broke Zhang Yufei's national record of 52.90 seconds. Zhang Yufei is really a rare genius, and as a generation of butterfly queens, the level of freestyle is also very high. She withdrew from the women's 100-meter freestyle final because she wanted to protect the butterfly event. But it is clear that Zhang Yufei will be one of the main forces in the Chinese women's 4x100m freestyle relay event.
Yang Junxuan was born on January 26, 2002, as a swimmer, she is in her prime age at the age of 22, and the Paris Olympics is a good time for her to follow the Chinese team to create great results. With Yang Junxuan's age structure, she should have no problem fighting until the next Olympic Games, and has the opportunity to become the multi-gold king of the Chinese Olympic Games, of course, all this still requires Chinese swimmers to exert the strength of the team.
