In the special context of the "23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for drugs due to food contamination", the ongoing National Swimming Championships have also received more global attention. Intriguingly, Yang Junxuan, a woman who also performed well in the 100-meter freestyle and broke the national record, was criticized by the Western media, while the men's champion Pan Zhanle was widely praised.
British journalist Lord, who rose to fame for bombarding Sun Yang, scoffed at Yang Junxuan's breaking the national record in the women's 100m freestyle in 52.68 seconds: "In early January 2021, Yang Junxuan and other teammates tested positive at a test event at the postponed start of the Olympic Games, and WADA received reports from China that police had found traces of trimetazidine contamination in the kitchen of the Shijiazhuang hotel. ”
Lord also introduced that the original women's 100-meter freestyle national record was held by Zhang Yufei, and Zhang Yufei and Yang Junxuan were among the 23 people who were positive for trimetazidine, and the Chinese women's 4 x 200-meter freestyle relay team at the Tokyo Olympics broke the world record and won the gold medal. -- The European and American media are generally suspicious of the miraculous performance of the Chinese women's relay at the Tokyo Olympics.
Unlike Lorde's yin and yang anger towards Yang Junxuan, Pan Zhanle, who swam 46.97 seconds to dominate the men's 100m freestyle at the national championships, was praised by the American media "swimswam", although the media has been attacking the Chinese swimming team, but has a different view of Pan Zhanle, which may also have something to do with Pan Zhanle's lack of inclusion in the 23-man list. The outlet wrote: "World record holder Pan Zhanle has further established himself as the fastest player in the world at the moment. ”
Only eight people in history (two of which were spawned by the fast swimsuit era) have swam the 47-second mark in the men's 100m freestyle freestyle shootout, while Poon has won three times, including a world record of 46.80 seconds at this year's World Championships. Whether from the perspective of world records or the number of good swims, Pan Zhanle deserves to be the best in history.
affirmed Pan Zhanle and other Chinese celebrities who were not on the list, and slandered the 23 Chinese athletes on the list, I don't know if it was the Western media to take a divisive and disintegrating approach to deal with the Chinese swimming team. But it can be expected that the athletes on the list such as Zhang Yufei, Wang Shun, Qin Haiyang, Yang Junxuan, and Yu Yiting at the Paris Olympics will be plagued by rumors, and even some European and American viewers who don't know the truth may boo, just like they booed Sun Yang back then.
