On July 31, Beijing time, 5 days and 0 gold! The biggest Waterloo of the Chinese swimming team, the world frog king Qin Haiyang was seventh in the 100 meters, and the tenth in the 200 meters did not enter the finals.
In this Paris Olympics, China's swimming results so far are indeed very disappointing. So far, he has not won a gold medal, Zhang Yufei is relatively normal, and he still has medals in his account, continuing his competitiveness in butterfly stroke, but Qin Haiyang, as the leader of the men's team of the Chinese sports team, is a defeat in his main event breaststroke.
The 100-meter breaststroke was only ranked 7th in the final, and the 200-meter breaststroke was even more outrageous, which was his main event, holding the world record in his hand, but Qin Haiyang was only ranked 10th, and he didn't even enter the final, which is incredible. Last year, Qin Haiyang was the best male athlete in the FINA World, but the results of this year's Olympics are like this, not to mention others, he himself has been affected, after the 200-meter breaststroke broke out a super upset. Qin Haiyang was even more surprising after the game, saying that he once wanted to give up the next Olympic games.
Because of this Olympic Games, Qin Haiyang's first event is the 100-meter breaststroke, the result is so bad, and it is a big ups and downs, the first 50 meters Qin Haiyang is the first, faster than Adam Pitti, who finally won the silver medal, and the result is that the last 50 meters plummeted from the first to the seventh, this mentality is too fluctuating.
So Qin Haiyang said bluntly after being eliminated in the 200 meters, although this result was within expectations, but his physical condition was not good, and his psychological state was not good enough, he said: "I was seriously affected by the 100-meter breaststroke final, and I wanted to give up the 100-meter play at that time." This is really shocking too many people, this is the Olympic Games, only once in 4 years, many people only have a chance once in a lifetime, he has three major competitions behind him, but he said that he wanted to give up, unbelievable.
As for the situation that he did not enter the final of the 200 meters this time, he bluntly said that he couldn't swim in the back, but he had a world record of 200 meters and is now nearly 5 seconds slower than the previous time, is this normal? In the semifinals this time, Qin Haiyang only swam a time of 2:09.96, while his world record was 2:05.48, is this a bit outrageous?
And a top athlete stood up and said that he wanted to give up the next competition in the Olympics, whether this is the reason for the physical condition, mentality or ability to resist pressure, it is really unknown now. In his last interview before the Olympics, Qin Haiyang also emphasized that his goal is to win four gold medals in the Olympics: the 100m breaststroke, the 200m breaststroke and two relay races.
But now there is such a scene is really worrying, the two individual events have been compared, and he is indispensable in the medley relay behind, his state and psychological situation will affect the whole team, once he gives up, the game is really over.
