On July 30, Beijing time, the third gold medal day of the swimming event of the Paris Olympic Games, the Chinese swimming team won two silver medals after the competition, one of which came from the veteran Xu Jiayu and the other from the Asian record holder Tang Qianting.
Although the veteran won the championship in the 50-meter backstroke event, he failed to swim his own level in the 100-meter backstroke event, and finally won the second place with a time of 52.32 seconds, while Tang Qianting won the silver medal in the eighth aurora in the women's 100-meter breaststroke with a time of 1:05.54.
Summer's · McIntosh won the championship in an upset.
As early as in the previous predictions, the Chinese swimming team was the favorite to win the championship in the 100-meter backstroke and 100-meter breaststroke events, and no one was beatable, but in the Olympic Games, the predictions were often inaccurate, and many accidents occurred.
Including in the 100m backstroke event, three Chinese athletes advanced to the final, including Xu Jiayu, who won the gold medal in the 50m backstroke, Asian record holder Li Zhuhao and young player Yuan Xinyi, but in the end, Xu Jiayu failed to win the gold medal, and another Asian record holder, Tang Qianting, failed to win the gold medal as he wished, only winning the silver medal.
In the men's 100-meter backstroke event, Xu Jiayu only won the second place because the new generation of athlete Tang Hanqian broke out in the last 10 meters, surpassing the last few players with a time of 50.82 seconds and finally won the championship, while Xu Jiayu won the second place with a time of only a little more than 52 seconds, far higher than the third place.
Xu Jiayu's performance in the Olympic Games is still very satisfactory, and he also showed his strength, after all, it can be said that he can maintain a state of about fifty-two seconds is very good, and he also swam fifty-two seconds in the semi-finals.
On the other side, Tang Qianting was punished by the International Swimming Federation because of the problem of swimsuits, which directly affected her performance, and her level in the final could only be 1 minute and 5 seconds, and her future development space is still very large, and being able to win a silver medal in the Olympic Games is also a recognition of her ability.
And in these two events, there are many accidents, especially in the 100-meter backstroke event, Li Zhuhao, who has just won the runner-up, did not perform well in the final, and finally only won the fifth place, and in the men's 100-meter breaststroke event, Wei Jizhong and Yan Zibei both had accidents and failed to enter the finals in the end.
In the 100m backstroke, Canada McIntosh won the gold medal in Paris, her first Olympic gold medal and the first overall Olympic gold medal won by the Canada Canada swimming team in this event.
However, Mackintosh's level is also very good, although she has begun to participate in international competitions in recent years, but at the World Championships, she has already shown a very good level, before winning 10 medals at the World Championships, much more than Klim's 6 medals, naturally as the Canada swimming team hope, become the future main player of the Canada swimming team.
McIntosh's arrival not only gave the Canada swimming team a new force, but also alerted other swimming teams around the world that the new generation of swimmers is getting stronger, and her arrival may put pressure on other players, but also have a great impact on future competitions and rankings.
Popovich won.
In the men's 200m freestyle event, the new generation of athletes also performed very well, but what is even more surprising is that in this event, because in the previous competition, Australia's Hatton and McLaclin performed very well, so they were also considered the favorites in the final.
However, in the final, Hatton did not swim his own level and finished seventh, while McLaclin won a medal but failed to live up to expectations, and he won bronze in 1:44.68, all thanks to Popovich's arrival.
In the final, Popovich played very well, staying at the forefront from the start, and finally won the championship with a time of 1:44.52, which also made him the first Olympic champion of the Romania swimming team at the Olympic Games.
It can be said that Popovich took a big step in his life and also won the gold medal for the Romanian team, but before that, the Romanian team had been very weak in swimming, and no swimmer in history had won a medal at the Olympics.
Therefore, the arrival of Popovich will undoubtedly bring a ray of hope to the Romanian team, and at the same time will inspire more young Romanian athletes to devote themselves to swimming, and will also bring more championships to the Romanian team.
The regret of the Chinese team.
In the women's 100m breaststroke event, China has two players who advanced to the final, namely Wang Xueer and Wan Letian, but neither Wang Xueer nor Wan Lotian performed as expected in the final, and finally Wang Xueer ranked seventh with a time of 1:07.23 and did not enter the top six, while Wan Lotian ranked eighth with a time of 1:07.65 and did not enter the top seven.
Although neither player made it to the top six, Wang Xueer and Wan Lotian are both very good swimmers, especially Wang Xueer, whose performance at the Olympics can be said to be very good, and in the men's 100m backstroke event, the Chinese team has three players who advanced to the final, namely Wang Keran, Huang Ziqi and Yang Shuai, but none of the three players won medals in the end.
Among them, Wang Keran ranked fourth with a time of 52.83 seconds, only 0.02 seconds slower than the third place, which was also because he did not break out in the final outbreak, resulting in not getting a medal in the end, while Huang Ziqi ranked seventh with a time of 53.12 seconds, and Yang Shuai ranked eighth with a time of 53.43 seconds, so none of the three won medals.
It can be seen that in the Olympic Games, the suspense of the medal is the greatest, as long as there is a slight mistake, you may miss a place, or even miss the medal, so the players who can get medals are very good, and they are also excellent, but for those who have not won medals, they are not without strength, they are also very good.
At the same time, for the Olympic Games, the performance of the athletes is affected by many factors, if the players can play, then they will naturally be able to get good results, but if the players fail to play, it cannot be said that the players are not strong or poor.
Because the competition is very cruel, the choice is also very important, if the player wastes his energy in the preliminaries, then he will not be able to break out in the final, this is a choice, but if the player strives for the top at the beginning, then it is very likely to get a good result in the final, which is also where the athlete needs to think.
epilogue
In any case, the Chinese swimming team performed very well in this Olympic Games, even if there are some regrets, but they will not take it lightly, after all, this is a valuable experience, and it is also an experience for future competitions, laying the foundation for future competitions.
For the swimming team, it will also motivate them to do better in future competitions, which is a positive attitude and a positive energy.
