The Frog King and the Queen Butterfly are really under a lot of pressure this time! With the Paris Olympics about to begin, our biggest swimmers have to hurry up and adjust to their best condition. To be honest, at the recent National Swimming Championships, although Zhang Yufei and Qin Haiyang's performance was good, they were really a little cautious when competing with the top international players.
First of all, we have to talk about our frog king, Qin Haiyang. The 200-meter breaststroke world record holder, although he won the championship in this competition, but the result of 2:08.87 made him a little dissatisfied. Speaking of which, you may ask: Isn't this result very good? Don't worry, compared with the rapid improvement of those friends last year, Qin Haiyang's achievement is not too eye-catching in the world. Don't look at the difference is only a little bit, the swimming competition is a race against time, and a little difference can determine the ownership of the gold medal!
Let's take a look at our butterfly queen, Zhang Yufei. In the women's 100m butterfly, Zhang Yufei swam a time of 56.36 seconds, nearly a second behind her American opponent Huske. Isn't this a small century in the swimming world? Not to mention, Zhang Yufei's brilliant performance at the Tokyo Olympics was simply unbeatable at that time. Now that we are getting older and more competitive, we have to give our best in every race, and the slightest mistake can affect the performance of the entire relay team.
Now about their preparations. Seeing that the Olympics are coming, Zhang Yufei and Qin Haiyang really have to work harder. For Zhang Yufei, she will need to perform well in the 100m and 200m butterfly to add weight to the relay race. And Qin Haiyang, he must also make a breakthrough in the 100m and 200m breaststroke, after all, the current opponent is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
In this domestic trials, although our stars have successfully qualified for the Olympics, this result is still a little weak compared to the international level. Not to mention anything else, taking the 100m breaststroke as an example, Qin Haiyang's performance is still slower than that of two-time Olympic champion Adam Peaty. You must know that in the sport of swimming, every small technical adjustment can directly affect the final result.
In the next few months, for Zhang Yufei and Qin Haiyang, every training and adjustment will be crucial. They need the help of their coaches to analyze the technical characteristics of their opponents and adjust their game strategies. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen psychological construction, after all, pressure is an important factor that can affect the performance of athletes.
The current situation is that if they can find a breakthrough point in the next time, then we still have a chance to see them add another gold medal to the Chinese team in Paris. But if the adjustment is not effective, then the number of gold medals in this Olympics may not be optimistic.
In short, from now on, every stroke and every breath of the frog king and butterfly queen is related to the success or failure of the Paris Olympics. I hope that they will be able to shoulder this heavy responsibility, live up to expectations, and achieve new success! For them, now is not only a contest of technology and physical fitness, but also a contest of psychology and strategy. Let's wait and see if they can get the flag flying high again in Paris!
