On August 2, 2024, the swimming competition at the Paris Olympics ushered in the high-profile mixed 4x100m medley relay heats. In this game, the Chinese team experienced a thrilling challenge, and finally relied on Pan Zhanle's outstanding performance to counterattack from 7th to 2nd place and successfully advanced to the final.
In this preliminary match, the lineup adjustment of the Chinese team has aroused widespread attention and discussion. This adjustment is not only to adapt to the complex game situation, but also has become a big challenge for the Chinese team. Qin Haiyang, a breaststroker who originally had high hopes, was decided to hide by the coaching staff because of his recent poor form. Instead, it was Tang Qianting, a female player with a stable performance. This decision caused a lot of heated discussions before the game. Some netizens expressed their opinions on social media.
"How could the coaching staff replace Qin Haiyang? He's our veteran breaststroke! A netizen posted on the forum. Another netizen responded: "Actually, it is understandable that Qin Haiyang's recent state is not as good as before, Tang Qianting's recent performance is very good, and it is not impossible to change her." ”
In freestyle, the situation is no less interesting. Pan Zhanle, who was in hot form, was temporarily called in to replace the previous female player Yang Junxuan. Reactions to this change have been somewhat divided. One netizen wrote on Twitter: "Everyone knows Pan Zhanle's freestyle strength, and his previous results are also excellent. Putting him in this position is definitely to give it his all. ”
Another netizen held a different view: "Although Yang Junxuan's recent form has fluctuated a little, she has also had a lot of wonderful performances, and Pan Zhanle's substitute is a little worried." ”
Before the game, there was a lot of talk on social media about the adjustment. Some people think it's a risk, but others think it's a smart move on the part of the coaching staff, because that's what makes a big deal when it matters. Some netizens analyzed: "Although the adjustment of the Chinese team is very risky, it is also very bold. The breaststroke may be changed to Tang Qianting because her skills and condition can better cope with the challenges of her opponents. And Pan Zhanle joined the freestyle, obviously to enhance the competitiveness of this link. ”
At the beginning of the competition, Xu Jiayu, the backstroker of the Chinese team, was eye-catching. He got into the groove as soon as he got on the court, and his backstroke performance was solid, swimming a good time of 53.16 seconds. This result is also in the middle of the range of all the competitors, and his consistent performance has given the team confidence. Seeing that Xu Jiayu successfully completed his task, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and silently hoped that the next performance would be so smooth.
However, the performance in the breaststroke stage is a bit worrying. When Tang Qianting took the baton, although she didn't see too much nervousness on her face, her movements didn't seem to be as smooth as expected. She struggled to swim in the water, swimming a time of 1:05.44. This is a stark gap to other competitors, especially the strong men's breaststrokers.
Seeing Tang Qianting doing her best, everyone's hearts hung in the air. Although she has done her best, judging by her results, it seems that it is still difficult to catch up with the speed of other teams. At this time, the Chinese team's ranking once slipped to 7th, and the promotion situation became more and more tense. Looking at the rankings on the screen, many Chinese viewers couldn't help but frown, and they couldn't help but start worrying: Can we move forward this time?
The coaching staff also looked a little anxious on the sidelines, and everyone's eyes were focused on the upcoming butterfly swimmer Zhang Yufei. I hope she can use her fighting spirit to pull the team back from the predicament. The atmosphere was very depressing, and everyone was silently praying for an improvement in the future. Everyone knows that this breaststroke loss has put a lot of pressure on the team, but there is still a lot of hope that Zhang Yufei can turn the situation around.
In the face of the predicament, Zhang Yufei, who was the third sticker, spared no effort in the butterfly event, trying his best to catch up with a time of 56.59 seconds to try to save the situation. But in the final critical moment, it still depends on Pan Zhanle with the last stick. As a freestyle player, with his strong explosiveness and excellent technique, he completed the transcendence with a time of 47.07 seconds, helping the Chinese team jump from 7th to 2nd place.
Zhang Yufei's butterfly swimming technique is recognized as quite comprehensive. Her take-off is powerful, and every time she enters the water, she carries an unstoppable momentum. Her underwater movements are particularly fluid, and she is able to maintain a steady pace and posture, which are key factors in her standing out in the butterfly event. However, many viewers noticed that Zhang Yufei seemed to be so short of losing in the final sprint.
Netizens had a heated discussion about Zhang Yufei's performance. On social media, some netizens said: "Zhang Yufei's butterfly stroke this time is really stable, the take-off and underwater movements are excellent, but it is a little lacking in the final sprint, and I feel that it can be faster." This comment quickly attracted likes and comments from other netizens.
Another netizen mentioned: "Zhang Yufei's butterfly swimming skills are indeed very comprehensive, I see that her take-off and swimming are very good, and there is nothing to say about her underwater skills." But when it came to the final sprint, I always felt that her explosiveness was not enough, or there was some problem with the distribution of physical strength. ”
Some netizens made specific observations in the discussion: "I think her body posture is a little deformed in the sprint stage, maybe because of fatigue or technical details." When she usually trains, she should strengthen her ability to make the final sprint. ”
At this time, another netizen put forward a different opinion: "Zhang Yufei's performance is already very good. Her technical traits are consistent in the race, and this kind of small problems in the final sprint may not be all she can control, and the competition is also strong. ”
Some netizens are full of confidence in Zhang Yufei: "Although the final sprint is a little lacking, Zhang Yufei's overall technical performance is already very good." We should not ignore the consistency and quality she has shown in the game. Hopefully, she will be able to adjust her form and overcome this minor problem in the next games. ”
This discussion reflected the high level of concern for Zhang Yufei's performance, and also showed different views and suggestions. For the butterfly swimmer, although the small problems in the final sprint were a little regrettable, her overall performance still won everyone's respect and support. Hopefully, she can continue to improve in the future and show her potential.
The Chinese team finally ranked second in the group and third overall with a total time of 3:42.26 and successfully entered the final. The United States and United Kingdom occupied the top two positions with a time of 3:40.98 and 3:41.42, respectively. In the final, the Chinese team will face fierce competition and need to go all out to compete for higher honors.
Pan Zhanle's brilliant performance not only saved the Chinese team's hopes of qualifying, but also made the coaching team face a new consideration: whether to continue to rely on Pan Zhanle in the final, or to reactivate Qin Haiyang to strengthen the breaststroke. In any case, the experience of this preliminary round has added more uncertainty and expectation to the Chinese team's road to the final.
