It's hard to imagine how brutal the swimming competition could be at this Olympics! The Chinese swimming team was smeared by Western countries for rumors! It also makes many people worry about the performance of Chinese swimmers!
We all know that in the past, the Olympic swimming events were all covered by Western countries! In recent years, the gradual rise of the Chinese swimming team has worried Western countries! Therefore, they suppressed and slandered the Chinese swimming team! And with great results! Like before the Tokyo Olympics, Sun Yang was banned for a long time, and he missed the Tokyo Olympics. At the same time, Sun Yang is not young, and he has basically bid farewell to the arena! Speaking of the Sun Yang incident, of course, Sun Yang's own handling was inappropriate, but more importantly, the Western media operated wildly, and they guided public opinion, and finally Sun Yang was banned.
The Western media, which saw the effect on Sun Yang, once again felt the crisis through the performance of the Chinese swimming team at the Fukuoka World Championships and the Doha World Championships! So once again, they're doing it again! Since the beginning of the year, they have talked about the fact that 21 athletes on the Chinese swimming team tested positive for doping due to food contamination. The media in Western countries hyped up the incident. FINA and the International Anti-Doping Agency had to send another investigation team to investigate. After the investigation team announced the final results, the Western media chose to ignore them. United States, in particular, not only applied for the F.B.I. to intervene in the investigation, but also planned to arrest Chinese swimmers during the Paris Olympics. In this case, the International Anti-Doping Agency and the Olympic Committee really can't stand it. A warning to the United States. The I.O.C. has also threatened United States with the right to host the 2034 Winter Olympics. The United States side had no choice but to compromise, but some athletes were very unfriendly, and they had no scruples and frantically smeared Chinese swimming. It can be said that the Chinese swimming team is facing a very complicated situation in this Olympic Games.
Maybe it's to secure the grades! Recently, the Chinese swimming team has changed its swimming events. Pan Zhanle, the ace of the Chinese team, gave up the 50-meter freestyle, and two athletes from the women's team gave up the competition, namely Yu Yiting of the women's team gave up the women's 100-meter butterfly, and Liu Yaxin gave up the women's 200 backstroke.
Pan Zhanle set a world record in the men's 100-meter freestyle at the World Championships in Doha at the beginning of the year. In this Paris Olympics, Pan Zhanle will not only participate in the competition of individual events, but also participate in the duel of relay events. Considering that Pan Zhanle has to compete in many competitions, and the men's 50m freestyle is not his strong point, he gave up! Obviously, such a move is to ensure the results of the superior project. Yu Yiting and Liu Yaxin's abandonment of the race, it is estimated that they still hope to fight hard in the relay event. After all, the main forces like Zhang Yufei can't play in the preliminaries.
Such an arrangement is wise! Looking forward to the Chinese swimming team to continue to create brilliance!
