Qin Haiyang, a brilliant swimmer at the World Championships, did not achieve satisfactory results in the individual event at the Paris Olympics. In the 100-meter breaststroke, he was only seventh; In the 200-meter breaststroke, he only finished tenth. Such a result undoubtedly surprised and disappointed many people who paid attention to him.
Looking back at the World Championships a year ago, it was a glorious moment for Qin Haiyang. He won three gold medals and broke the world record, and his performance was impressive. With such achievements, he deservedly won the title of Male Athlete of the Year. At that time, he was the pride of Chinese swimming and a hero in the hearts of countless swimming fans.
However, when he came to the Paris Olympics, there was a huge gap in Qin Haiyang's state. He fell far short of expectations in the race, finishing seventh in the 100m breaststroke and tenth in the 200m breaststroke. Such a result has made Chinese swimming fans who have always had high hopes for him feel deeply disappointed and confused. They originally expected Qin Haiyang to achieve another great result in the Olympic arena, but the reality gave them a heavy blow. At the same time, the European and American media seized this opportunity to sneer and harshly criticize Qin Haiyang. They seem to have completely forgotten Qin Haiyang's brilliant achievements at the World Championships, and only blindly blame him for his current defeat, this one-sided and short-sighted attitude makes people feel angry and helpless.
For Qin Haiyang's poor performance this time, there may be some objective factors. For example, he may have been plagued by injuries before the game and was not in the best physical condition. Changes in training conditions may also have an impact on the effectiveness of his training, resulting in his inability to train systematically and effectively. In addition, the problem of environmental adaptation during the competition cannot be ignored, and different competition environment and climatic conditions may bring challenges to athletes. But I'm not going to go into detail here, because it's not an excuse for his loss. We need to look at the performance of our athletes objectively and not just because we lose a single loss to dismiss their effort and strength.
Qin Haiyang may have a strong obsession in his heart, that is, he is eager to prove his innocence and fight back against the slander of those European and American media. For a long time, the unfair evaluation and groundless accusations of Chinese athletes by the European and American media have made Qin Haiyang feel angry and aggrieved. He is eager to prove his worth by putting on a stellar performance at the Paris Olympics and silence those who detractor him. However, this mental burden was too heavy and undoubtedly had a negative impact on his performance in the game. He was too eager to prove himself with his results, and instead put himself in a difficult situation. During the competition, he was unable to stay calm and focused, and the psychological pressure distorted his technical movements, which ultimately affected the results.
Breaststroke is a rhythm-demanding event. Due to the psychological pressure and burden, Qin Haiyang made mistakes in technical execution. During the match, his smooth rhythm was disrupted, and the coordination of his movements was affected. Every stroke and leg kick is no longer as precise and powerful as usual, and the movements that should have been done in one go become choppy. This kind of technical mistake prevented him from giving full play to his physical and technical strengths, so that he could not play at the level he should have
Domestic netizens were full of support and expectations for Qin Haiyang at the beginning. Before the competition, everyone believed that Qin Haiyang could win glory for his country at the Paris Olympics, and cheered for him on social media. But with the announcement of the results of the competition, the attitude of some netizens has changed. They went from firm support to questioning and accusation, believing that Qin Haiyang did not play as well as he should and lived up to everyone's expectations. This sharp change in attitude will undoubtedly have a potential impact on Qin Haiyang's mentality. He was already under the pressure of losing the game, and the accusations from netizens made him feel even more painful and confused.
The Chinese Swimming Association has shown an attitude of inaction in the face of negative public opinion in Europe and the United States. When Qin Haiyang was slandered and attacked by the European and American media, the Swimming Association did not stand up for him in time to protect his reputation. This kind of silence is, to a certain extent, left the athletes alone under the pressure of public opinion. Swimmers should support and protect athletes at critical moments, and this inaction has had a negative impact on athletes' preparation for the Olympics, putting them under more psychological pressure and burden.
In short, Qin Haiyang's performance at the Paris Olympics has taught us many lessons. We should reflect on how to give more comprehensive support to athletes in the sports world and how to create a healthier and more positive public opinion environment.
