Wang Jian Jiahe and Li Bingjie, the twin stars of the Chinese women's middle and long distance freestyle, have previously won the bronze medal in the final of the women's 400-meter freestyle and won the first Olympic medal in the women's middle and long distance freestyle in Chinese swimming.

In the preliminary round of the 1500-meter freestyle, Wang Jian Jiahe also showed a stable strength, swimming a time of 15 minutes and 41 seconds 49, second only to the famous Ledecky, who advanced to the final with the second place in the group, and this result also broke the Asian record.

It is worth mentioning that the Asian record in this event was originally held by Wang Jiahe herself - at the 2020 National Swimming Championships held last September, she swam a new Asian record of 15 minutes 45.59 seconds.

This time in the Olympic preliminaries, she raised the record by more than 4 seconds in one breath.

Lovely Wang Jian Jiahe.

Wang Jian Jiahe is only 19 years old this year, which is also her first time to participate in the Olympic Games, and her debut in the Olympic Arena has a stable performance, which is already valuable.

Previously, at the 2019 Swimming World Championships, she had won the third place in the 1500-meter freestyle with a time of 15 minutes and 51 seconds, and this time she was able to collect the medals at the Olympic Games and complete her dream of going to the Olympics.

After the test of the Olympic competition, Wang Jian Jiahe once again proved that he can afford the hope of Chinese women's middle and long distance swimming.

At a height of 1 meter 82, she has a long arm span, a very powerful upper limb, and the technical characteristics of long stroke distance and low stroke frequency can ensure that she has a physical advantage in the second half of the long distance freestyle.

At the same time, Wang Jian Jiahe is by no means all talented - because she is a middle-distance and long-distance athlete, her daily training volume is about 13,000-14,000 meters.

Sun Yang also sighed: "A girl practices so hard every day, there are not many people who can suffer this in today's society, I think it is definitely a minority." ”

In addition to the 1500-meter freestyle event, Wang Jian Jiahe also has outstanding strength in the 800-meter self-event. Previously, at the 2019 National Swimming Championships, she broke the Asian record for the women's 800 meters in 8 minutes 14 seconds and 64 seconds.

On July 29, the preliminaries for the women's 800m freestyle will begin, and Wang Jian Jiahe will once again join hands with teammate Li Bingjie.
