In the early morning of August 3, Beijing time, in the men's 200-meter medley final, Wang Shun failed to defend his title and won the bronze medal with a time of 1 minute 56 seconds.
The focus of the competition was undoubtedly Marchand of France, who won the gold medal with a time of 1:54.06 and broke the Olympic record.
It was also his fourth gold medal at the Games, which was impressive.
Wang Shun stood on the Olympic stage this time, which is his fourth Olympic journey.
Looking back at the Tokyo Olympics, he won the gold medal in the 200m medley, and the moment seemed to be still in front of him, and the feeling of victory was unforgettable.
This time in Paris, however, the situation is a little different.
Although he is still the backbone of the Chinese swimming team, this time the opponent is clearly stronger than before.
After the start of the race, Wang Shun's performance in the first 100 meters was quite steady.
His swimming style is still graceful, and the rhythm between strokes is well controlled.
Seeing every stroke he made in the water, it seemed that he was doing his best, and his eyes revealed a desire for victory and a firm belief.
However, the breaststroke stage began to make him feel a little anxious.
With each turn, his pace seemed to slow down a bit, and while he tried his best to adjust his tempo to close the gap, his opponent was getting faster and faster, clearly pulling distance in front of him.
The anxiety began to creep in, and despite his efforts to remain calm, it was difficult to hide the eagerness in his heart.
He knew that this competition was not only a physical test for him, but also a psychological challenge.
Every breath, every stroke, is extraordinarily heavy.
In the end, Wang Shun won the bronze medal with a time of 1 minute and 56 seconds, and although he did not stand on the gold medal podium as expected, he was still a presence to be reckoned with in this competition.
As a 30-year-old veteran, Wang Shun's performance this time is admirable.
His persistence and hard work are not only reflected in his achievements, but also in his love and dedication to swimming.
Winning this bronze medal is already a big honor for him.
At the same time, this is also the 30th medal won by the Chinese team in this Olympic Games.
