In the women's 200m butterfly final at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, China's Zhang Yufei did her best to win a bronze medal for the Chinese team despite being ill. The match was played at the Stade La Défense in the early hours of August 2.
Zhang Yufei's performance in this final is really admirable. Despite her severe fever and far from recovering from her physical condition, she gritted her teeth and persisted on the field, determined not to let her efforts go to waste. In the first half of the race, she also led the race for a while, bringing a lot of hope to everyone. Although she was overtaken by Canada's Mackintosh in the end and finally won the bronze medal in 2:05.09, her tenacity really touched many people.
Many netizens expressed their admiration for her performance after seeing it. A netizen said on social media: "Zhang Yufei is amazing! I still insist on playing when I am not in good health. Her fighting spirit is really touching, and no matter what the final result is, she is already our pride. Another person commented: "Although she failed to win the gold medal, Zhang Yufei has proved what a real athlete is with her actions." Her persistence and hard work are worth learning from. ”
Someone mentioned: "It's still distressing to see her almost do her best in the final." Hopefully she'll have a good rest and hopefully she can do better in the next races. Another netizen also said: "Zhang Yufei is already our champion, no matter what medal she wins in the end, her persistence and hard work have won everyone's respect." ”
Everyone's support and encouragement for Zhang Yufei is really full. She has already won two bronze medals at this Olympics, and although she did not win the gold medal, she showed extraordinary perseverance in her actions. Zhang Yufei's greatest talent is undoubtedly her physical fitness. Her recovery is particularly amazing, which is invaluable among swimmers.
She was given a lactate metabolism test, which accurately reflects the athlete's body's ability to recover. The test results showed that Zhang Yufei's recovery rate far outpaced that of other athletes, allowing her to maintain a high level of performance in training and competition.
This super resilience is essential for swimmers.
Swimming competitions are very demanding on physical strength and endurance, and the speed of recovery after each training session directly affects the effect of the next training session. If an athlete recovers quickly, they can train at a higher intensity in less time to improve their technique and fitness level. It is by virtue of this that Zhang Yufei is able to stand out in the fierce competition.
Netizens also expressed great concern about Zhang Yufei's characteristics. A netizen commented: "Zhang Yufei's recovery ability is really super powerful, and it is really rare to be able to recover in such a short period of time." Her performance makes people feel that her success is not only hard work, but also this super physical support. ”
Another netizen said: "I think Zhang Yufei's physical fitness is her secret weapon. Normally we see her playing well, but the real secret may be in her resilience. Just imagine, if the body recovers slowly, it will be difficult to maintain a high level of training. ”
Someone else mentioned: "Zhang Yufei's physical fitness also shows the hard training she has put in behind her." It's really remarkable that she's been able to continue to break through with such a quick recovery. ”
Everyone can see her hard work and hard work for this bronze medal, and the appreciation and concern of netizens for her also makes her feel warm. Zhang Yufei is a hero in everyone's hearts no matter what.
In this match, Canada's McIntosh's performance was truly impressive. In the women's 200m butterfly final, she won the gold medal with a time of 2:03.03, while breaking the Olympic record held by Zhang Yufei. Mackintosh's swimming skills are quite good, and every movement seems so smooth and natural. Every stroke she made on the track seemed to be precisely calculated, with just the right amount of force and rhythm.
McIntosh has been in good form throughout the game. She starts with a quick reaction and gets into the groove quickly as soon as she gets out of the water. In the first 50 meters, she followed closely behind Zhang Yufei, but did not rush to overtake, but remained firmly in the competitive position. In the second 50 meters, she began to accelerate and gradually approached Zhang Yufei. In the third 50 meters, she had completely overtaken Zhang Yufei and moved into the lead. In the last 50 meters, she did not relax, but picked up her speed and almost finished the race with a hard jump.
When she saw the final results, the smile on her face was almost irrepressible. Her heart must have been filled with excitement and joy, after all, it was more than just a gold medal. Breaking Olympic records, especially Zhang Yufei's, is a great honor and self-proof for her. She must have felt in her heart that all her hard work and dedication had paid off, and this sense of accomplishment could not be expressed in words.
Mackintosh's victory also caught everyone's attention. Her performance was praised by many as "flawless", and many netizens congratulated her on social platforms. One netizen wrote: "Mackintosh is amazing, she not only won the gold medal, but also broke the record, it's really incredible. Another said: "Seeing her consistent performance and final sprint in the race, I'm really happy for her, her hard work is really worth it." ”
McIntosh herself must have been well aware that the victory was not just a testament to her individual abilities, but also a testament to her hard work over the years. Every training she had, every drop of sweat, was rewarded in the best at this moment. Her success not only made her proud, but also won honor for Canada and became the envy of everyone.
United States's Smith also performed well, eventually winning silver with a time of 2:03.84. Their excellent performance filled the competition with suspense and also gave people a glimpse of the fierce competition between the top swimmers.
Looking back on Zhang Yufei's performance, she swam 2:06.55 in the preliminaries, winning the first place without any suspense. In the semi-finals, she still swam a good time of 2:06.09 despite a fever and successfully advanced to the finals. Although she took the lead in the final and held the lead, she was overtaken by Mackintosh in the final stages and could only settle for third.
Zhang Yufei's performance is undoubtedly one of the highlights of this Olympic Games. Her persistence and hard work, especially when she was unwell, showed true athlete style. Despite not winning the gold medal, her spirit and performance touched people deeply and added to her career.
