Swimmers fought fiercely on the first day of the Paris Olympics, and the Chinese team performed brilliantly, but there was still a gap
The first day of the Olympic swimming competition made people excited! The Chinese team performed well and won a bronze medal, but it was still a bit of a gap compared to the swimming powerhouses of Australia and United States. But then again, our players are already great, after all, being able to stand on the Olympic stage is already at the top level.
Surprises and regrets on the relay field
The women's 4×100m freestyle relay final is a feast for the eyes! The Chinese team won the bronze medal with a time of 3:30.30, and also broke the Asian record by the way, which is already quite good. But the Australia team is the real beast, they not only won the championship with a time of 3:28.92, but also broke the Olympic record, which is literally flying in the water! Team United States followed with a silver medal of 3:30.20. To be honest, I was stunned when I saw these results, are these girls fish?
The men's 4×100m freestyle relay final was less exciting. The Chinese team finished fourth with a time of 3:11.28. I didn't finish on the podium, but I was able to finish fourth at the Olympics. The United States won gold in 3:09.28, while Australia and Italy won silver and bronze, respectively. To be honest, I was a little skeptical when I saw these results, did these players grow up in the water since they were children?
Chinese power in the semi-finals
In the semifinals of the women's 100m butterfly, our Zhang Yufei is very powerful! She qualified for the final with a time of 56.15 seconds and finished third overall. However, United States's Gretchen · Walsh broke the Olympic record with a time of 55.38 seconds, and this girl is simply a butterfly in the water!
In the semifinals of the men's 100m breaststroke, Qin Haiyang also performed well, advancing to the final with a time of 58.93 seconds, ranking second overall. Seeing that our players have advanced to the finals one by one, I can't help but want to applaud them!
The freestyle final was a mixed bag
In the men's 400m freestyle final, Fei Liwei ranked sixth with a time of 3:44.24. Although I didn't win a medal, I was able to finish sixth at the Olympics. Germany's Martens won the gold medal with a time of 3:41.78, which was a jaw-dropping result.
The women's 400m freestyle final was a bit of a pity, our competitors did not make it to the final. Australia's Titmus won the gold medal with a time of 3:57.49, which is like flying a plane in the water!
The strength of the swimming powerhouse is displayed
To be honest, after watching these competitions, I found that there is still a big gap between us and Australia and United States, which are swimming powers. Not only have they won many gold medals, but they have also broken several world records and Olympic records. But then again, our athletes are already great, after all, being able to stand on the Olympic stage is already at the top level.
Some experts analyzed that the reason why Australia and United States can be so strong in swimming is mainly because they have a perfect youth training system and advanced training methods. Moreover, people's swimming culture is also very developed, and many people like to swim since childhood. In contrast, the swimming environment in our country needs to be improved, especially in some inland cities, there are not many swimming pools, let alone training excellent swimmers.
The future of Chinese swimming is promising
Although we only won a bronze medal on the first day of the Olympic swimming competition, I think it was a good start. After all, we have players in many events who have advanced to the finals, which shows that our overall strength is still very strong. And our players are not very old, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future.
I remember that a few years ago, our Sun Yang won the gold medal in the 400-meter freestyle event for many consecutive Olympic Games. Although he was not able to compete this time, I am sure that there will be more players like him in the future.
In fact, I think that the swimming environment in our country has improved a lot over the years. Now many cities are vigorously developing national fitness and building many swimming pools. Moreover, parents are paying more and more attention to the all-round development of their children, and swimming has become a compulsory subject for many children. I believe that in a few years, our swimming strength will definitely be greatly improved.
After watching these games, I think our players are really amazing. They have put in so much effort for this Olympic Games, and although the results may not be the best, their fighting spirit is really worth learning from. And I believe that as long as we continue to work hard, there will be more Chinese athletes standing on the podium of the Olympic Games in the future!
