In the early morning of July 31, Beijing time, on the fourth day of the swimming event of the Paris Olympic Games, the semifinals of the men's 100-meter freestyle, Chinese player Pan Zhanle swam a time of 47.21 seconds, not only won the first place in the group, but also ranked first in the overall score, and advanced to the final with his head held high, which will be held on the next competition day.
In this Olympic Games, the overall performance of the Chinese swimming team was sluggish, and many championship-winning events did not win gold medals, and they could only pin their hopes of winning the championship on the following competitions, including the men's 100-meter freestyle.
In this event, 19-year-old Pan Zhanle has extraordinary strength, after the men's 4x100m freestyle has shown excellent form, the preliminaries helped the Chinese team to advance to the finals, and then the first swim in the final 46.92 seconds, breaking the Olympic record in one fell swoop, plus he is also the world record holder in the men's 100m freestyle, which also makes the outside world look forward to his performance.
In the previous men's 200-meter freestyle preliminaries, Pan Zhanle was generally out of the game early, and he may have to focus all his energy on the men's 100-meter freestyle and go all out to hit the gold medal.
In the preliminaries, Pan Zhanle was assigned to the tenth group in the fourth lane, the first 50 meters did not enter the top three, and the last 50 meters sprint also failed to surpass, and finally ranked fifth in the group, with a score of 48.40 seconds, ranking 13th overall, and advancing to the semifinals in a thrilling manner.
Now the semi-finals begin, Pan Zhanle is located in the eighth lane of the second group, the starting reaction time is the fastest 0.61 seconds, ranking second after 50 meters, 0.11 seconds behind, and the last 50 meters sprint, Pan Zhanle completed the overtake, the first to reach the finish line, the result is 47.21 seconds, the total results of the two groups are compared, Pan Zhanle is also the first, successfully advanced to the finals.
Compared with the results in the preliminaries, Pan Zhanle's performance in the semi-finals was very good, especially the sprint in the last 50 meters was very fast, and he took off directly to complete the overtaking.
At present, Pan Zhanle is still the biggest favorite to win the championship in this event, depending on the performance of the final, as long as he breaks into the score of less than 47 seconds, there is a high probability that he will be able to win the gold medal, I hope that this excellent swimming genius can make history and create the history of the Chinese swimming team.
