Preface:
The Olympics are always full of surprises and controversies, and this is not in the men's 100m freestyle final of the Paris Olympics, where Chinese teenager Pan Zhanle gave the world a big scare.
The 19-year-old not only won the gold medal, but also broke the world record! It was supposed to be a good thing for the whole world to celebrate, but who would have thought that just 7 hours after winning the championship, something terrible would happen.
Foreigners break the defense collectively? What the hell is going on? Let's take a look at the story behind this turmoil.
From glory to doubt: Pan Zhanle's road to the championship
Friends, you've all seen that game, right? Pan Zhanle is called a fierce one! As soon as the starting pistol sounded, the kid swooped out like an arrow off the string.
With a reaction time of 0.62 seconds, it was simply dizzyingly fast, leading in the first 50 meters, and even more in the last 50 meters.
In the end, Pan Zhanle touched the wall with a time of 46.40 seconds, not only won the championship, but also broke the world record held by himself.
And guess what? The second-place Chalmers was thrown a full 1.08 seconds, this gap is like driving a sports car chasing a bicycle, it is embarrassing to think about it.
Originally, you should congratulate if you win, and you should admit it if you lose, but some people just can't afford to lose, so they have to find fault.
As soon as the game ended, some people began to chew their tongues, what doping, there is an insider, anyway, they don't admit that they are strong.
These people really can't afford to lose, so I just want to ask, when you usually train, do you have Pan Zhanle half of your efforts?
Support the author, it is not easy to write, there will be 5s advertisements in the text, and you can read the full text for free after watching.
To be honest, I was both angry and amused when I saw these doubts, and I was angry that why should Chinese players be suspected if they performed well? It's funny that the psychological quality of these people is too fragile, right?
But then again, Pan Zhanle did give them a resounding slap in the face this time, and this young man proved with his strength that the Chinese players are fully capable of competing with the world's top players in swimming.
Behind the scenes: unfair treatment in the pre-game
I'm angry when I talk about that! Did you know? Our Chinese swimming team was not less angry before the game.
These foreigners are really doing everything they can to make things difficult for us, think about it, take 200 urine tests in 10 days, is this what people do?
On average, each player has to be checked 7 times a day, my God, does this still make people train well? You have to be scared to go to the toilet.
Gao Min, the diving queen, couldn't stand it anymore, and directly said that this seriously affected the performance of the players, but who can maintain the best condition under this pressure?
However, our Chinese players just have backbone! The more difficult it is, the better it is. Poon Chin-lok is a case in point.
This young man has been training systematically since he was 6 years old, and he has been doing it for more than ten years, rain or shine, and at the 2022 Asian Games, he won 4 golds and 1 silver in one go, which is called a majesty!
Poon's coaching team is also clever and uses the most advanced scientific training methods. No, the results are in front of you.
But guess what? Before the competition, a United States swimming magazine also made a big statement, saying that Pan Zhanle could not win a medal, and ridiculed people for their low weight and easy to be knocked over by waves.
Hehe, now slap in the face, right? I think you were knocked to the ground by Pan Zhanle's strength!
What's more, during the warm-up of the game, Alexy of the United States deliberately rolled and splashed, and Australia's Chalmers directly ignored Pan Zhanle.
These behaviors, to put it bluntly, are bullying people, but Pan Zhanle doesn't eat this set at all, how to swim and how to swim, and finally speaks with results.
To be honest, seeing this, I am both distressed and proud, distressed that our players have suffered so many grievances, and proud that they have withstood the pressure and still created miracles.
You say, why are these foreigners so afraid of Chinese players? Is there a ghost in your heart? Or are they really so unconfident?
I think these people just can't afford to lose, and when they see Chinese players performing well, they try their best to find fault, this kind of mentality, to put it bluntly, is inferiority.
But our Chinese players don't have the same knowledge as them, the more difficult it is, the better they must perform, this is the real strong demeanor!
Truth vs. Lies
These foreigners really can't afford to lose! As soon as Pan Zhanle won the championship, they began to spray all over the world, and on social media, it was called a hilarity. What kind of doping is used, there is an insider, anyway, it just doesn't admit that people are strong.
These people, I think they were hit hard, you talk about the dignified European and American players who were left behind by a 19-year-old Chinese boy, where to put this face?
But our Pan Zhanle is not easy to bully, this young man is not in a hurry, and directly posted his inspection records in the past year.
Last year, there were 29 tests, and this year there are 21 times, and each time it is negative, which can slap those people who talk nonsense in the face!
Pan Zhanle also joked: I didn't expect Chalmers to be so slow, I thought he would be my biggest competitor. That's right, domineering!
You see this is the confidence of strength, people are not afraid of you at all, the more you check, the more innocent!
Not to be outdone, the Chinese Olympic Committee responded directly, reiterating that all athletes have been strictly inspected, and the Chinese team has never used any illegal means, which is beautiful! It's just to be upright, who is afraid of whom?
Netizens also stood up to correct Pan Zhanle's name, and some people said that foreigners were jealous and couldn't get used to the rapid development of China's sports industry.
Some netizens said that it is the Chinese athletes who make Chinese sports glorious on the world stage through their own strength, and foreigners should learn to be humble and respect their opponents.
You can say that again! We Chinese just want to speak with strength and use achievements to block the mouths of those people.
However, don't think too badly of foreigners, there are still many rational foreign netizens who bluntly pointed out that this kind of attack on Chinese athletes is completely out of prejudice and inferiority to their own strength.
These people also believe that Chinese athletes should be congratulated rather than criticized for winning the championship with their own strength, and I am quite relieved to hear these voices, it seems that not everyone is blinded by prejudice.
In the final analysis, sports competitions should be fair and just, and if you lose, you should admit it, and if you win, you should congratulate it. That's true sportsmanship!
Behind the defense
Pan Zhanle's trip set off a lot of waves in the world, and the IOC couldn't sit still and directly came forward to express its position.
They said: We call on all parties to respect the achievements of athletes and maintain the spirit of sportsmanship, which is a beautiful statement, but I don't know if some people will listen to it.
Some international sports experts have also begun to analyze Pan Zhanle's technical advantages and game strategies, and some experts say: Pan Zhanle's underwater movements are very good, which is the key to his ability to lead.
The incident also sparked a big debate about sportsmanship and international sports exchanges, with some people saying: We should reflect on why there is such a big prejudice against Chinese athletes.
But this is not all bad, at least let more people realize the strength of Chinese swimming, have you found it? Now that foreign media have reported on the Chinese swimming team, the tone has changed.
In the past, it was a Chinese player who won unexpectedly, but now it has become a Chinese player who has achieved another great result, and this change is not ordinary!
In addition, this incident has also brought more attention to some problems in the sports world, such as why athletes from certain countries are particularly concerned? Is this fair?
I think this turmoil is actually a good opportunity for us to reflect on how to truly achieve fairness and justice in the sports world.
Epilogue:
Pan Zhanle's victory is not only the personal glory of a 19-year-old player, but also the epitome of the vigorous development of China's sports industry.
In the face of doubts and criticism, our athletes gave the best answers with strength and results. This indomitable spirit is exactly the portrayal of the Chinese nation.
We look forward to seeing more Chinese athletes like Pan Zhanle shine on the world stage, and hope that the international sports community will look at China's achievements with a more open and inclusive attitude.
