The World Championships in Short Pool Swimming came to an end, and the Chinese team ended the event with 4 gold medals and 7 medals, ranking 6th in the world and 1st in Asia! The U.S. team remained strong, with 9 gold + 30 medals, the first place in the double table; Canada and Italy were 2-3 respectively.
Back within our Asian range, the performance of the rest of the teams, in addition to the Chinese swimming team, is also worth paying attention to.
The Japanese swimming team only won 2 gold medals, no other medals were included, the total number of medals was 2, ranking 9th in the world, and only third in Asia, surpassed by the Hong Kong swimming team of China with 2 gold and 1 bronze.
The South Korean swimming team won a gold medal and the only one, ranking 15th in the world and 4th in Asia.
I have to say that the old pattern of the Asian swimming world that was the top three in China, Japan and South Korea in the past has been broken, and the swimming team in Hong Kong, China has become a big dark horse, and it has been strongly killed at this short pool swimming world championships, which has disrupted the traditional pattern of Asian swimming.
He Shibei
This question needs to be further verified, because this is the World Championships of Short Course Swimming, and there is competition between Asian athletes and the top masters of other continents, and it is not as convincing as Asian events such as the Asian Games and direct PK between Asian opponents. Moreover, the 3 medals won by the Hong Kong swimming team in this World Championships are all from He Shibei alone, and from the overall point of view, the comprehensive strength of the Hong Kong swimming team is still limited.
Daiya Seto
However, then again, at this short pool swimming world championships, the Japanese swimming team and the Korean swimming team also rely on single-point explosions, the Japanese team's 2 gold medals are all won by Seto Daiya, and the Korean team relies on the 18-year-old talented young player Huang Sunyu.
Huang Shanyu
In contrast, the Chinese swimming team is laughing! In the Asian team, only we are more blossoming, in addition to 4 gold medals, there are 1 silver medal and 2 bronze medals, Li Bingjie, Zhang Yufei is the needle of the sea god, and the post-00 young generals Tang Qianting and Yu Yiting have also emerged.
Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong's single point blast vs China's multi-point blossom, there is no doubt that the latter is stronger! In the next few years, within the Asian range, the Chinese swimming team can still sit on the Diaoyutai, of course, we also have a flaw, that is, the men's team's collective performance is sluggish (0 medals at this World Championship).
