On the first day of the swimming competition of the Paris Olympics, the Chinese delegation only won a bronze medal in the women's 4/100m freestyle; After entering the second competition day, Zhang Yufei won the bronze medal in the 100-meter butterfly and Qin Haiyang's 100-meter breaststroke, while the latter generally caused an upset, not only failed to win the championship, but also only won the penultimate result.
In the last Tokyo Olympics, Zhang Yufei won 2 gold medals and 2 silver medals, creating the best personal result of the Chinese swimming team in a single Olympic Games. Her gold medal events were the 200m butterfly and the 4×200m freestyle relay, both of which also broke records. The 100m butterfly won the silver medal.
Therefore, Zhang Yufei also hopes to break through in the 100m butterfly at this Olympic Games, and after advancing to the final, Zhang Yufei, who is in lane 3, won a bronze medal with a score of 56.21, and United States' Husk and Walsh finally won the championship and second place. It was also Zhang's second medal at the Games, after she had already won bronze in the women's 4x100m freestyle relay. Although he missed the championship, Zhang Yufei was tested many times in the Paris Olympics, and his rest time was disturbed many times.
In the men's 100m breaststroke, Qin Haiyang had high hopes, and he advanced to the final with the second place in the semifinals; In the previous Hangzhou Asian Games and Swimming World Cup, Qin Haiyang has won the championship many times. In the final, Qin Haiyang was ranked 5th, although he was in first place in the first turn, but in the second half of the 50 meters, Qin Haiyang did not play well, and finally reached the finish line at 59.50, only finishing 7th; world record holder Pitti won the second place and failed to defend his title, and the champion belonged to Italy's Martinegi, who won the championship with a time of 59.03. No one swam 58 seconds in this final, and the overall result was not ideal.
In this way, the gold medal competition on the second day of the competition was over, and the Chinese swimming team won 1 bronze medal again; In addition, Xu Jiayu entered the men's 100-meter backstroke final on this competition day, and Tang Qianting entered the women's 100-meter breaststroke final; There is still a lot of hope for the Chinese team.
