Chinese frog king Qin Haiyang was interviewed by CCTV and broke the news that he had a knee injury this year, which led to deformation of his movements when swimming, although it was not a particularly big injury, but it definitely had an impact on his performance. was originally the first favorite to win gold in the Paris Olympics, but now the call for winning the bid is not so high. He is behind British frog king Pitty in the 100m breaststroke in 58.24 seconds this season, and the 200m breaststroke is 2:08.87 and is not in the top 10 in the world this year.
If it was during the World Championships, Asian Games, and World Cup last year, everyone discussed Qin Haiyang's trip to the Paris Olympics, and basically discussed whether he could break the world record, without too many doubts about the ownership of the gold medal. But at this moment, the expectations of swimming fans have dropped significantly: Qin Haiyang, who is plagued by injuries, can win two gold medals in 100 frogs and 200 frogs, even if it is perfect, he can barely accept a gold medal......
Qin Haiyang told reporters that he had a knee injury a week ago, and the next two months were very difficult, and he couldn't improve his training, and his technique was deformed because of the injury. Suprapatellar tendonitis of the right knee is caused by the accumulation of long-term fatigue, which is easy to recur in the case of long-term high-intensity training and competition, and is not easy to be cured.
Qin Haiyang bluntly said that the development trend of the world's breaststroke is to rely on strength and physical support, so through devil training, his physique and muscles are stronger than those of European and American athletes. However, long-term heavy training also has side effects, and knee injuries are probably related to the hellish intensity of training.
Talking about the injury, Qin Haiyang was a little helpless: "I can't find a good solution to a problem, and the problem is not big, but it will really affect ......" Suprapatellar tendonitis makes Qin Haiyang not as confident as before when talking about Olympic goals: "As long as you fully recover, you will still be confident." This tone is definitely not as categorical and domineering as before.
In addition to overcoming stubborn injuries, Qin Haiyang also has to face more stubborn Western forces. European and American media fanned the flames and confused the public around the incident of 23 athletes of the Chinese swimming team mistakenly taking trimetazidine, which mainly targeted Qin Haiyang, Zhang Yufei and Wang Shun, the three star players on the list. In particular, British star Peaty has not been friendly enough to the Chinese swimming team, and Qin Haiyang needs to shut up Peaty with a very dominant performance.
