Oh my god, the swimming competition at Paris 2024 is really lively! Our Chinese swimming team has encountered a lot of trouble this time. Speaking of which, it's quite dramatic.
On the afternoon of August 3rd, the pool was filled with gunsmoke. Not because of the fierce competition, but because of a storm about doping testing. It's good now, our Chinese swimming team has become the target of public criticism and has been targeted by others!
"Over-testing": Chinese players suffer "special treatment"
At the end of the day, we have to start from the beginning. It turned out that the friends of the Chinese swimming team were arranged with "special treatment" this time. What's the treatment? That's 2 to 3 more doping tests than players from other countries. This can make our athletes tired, and they are tested every day, which makes people panic.
Interestingly, this incident also alarmed the bigwigs of the International Olympic Committee. Pau · Gasol, a Spain basketball legend and current member of the Olympic Committee, stood up to speak. This big man is not simple, he is fighting for the Chinese players.
"We want to make sure that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) procedures are correct," Pau said. However, Chinese swimmers have been tested 2-3 times more, which has caused them trouble. "
The Australian coach "fired", and the Chinese players were questioned
But ah, that's not all. Some foreign coaches and media are "eyeing our Chinese players". Australia swimming coach Brett · Hawke, for example, questioned China's Pan Zhanle's results.
This Hawk coach is really bold enough, and directly said that Pan Zhanle's results are "impossible" to achieve. Heck, isn't that just a hint that we use stimulants? That's a lot of rage!
Gasol "escorted" and spoke out for Chinese players
Fortunately, we still have friends. Gasol stood up and spoke for the Chinese players. "In this way, we hope to prove to athletes in other countries that the claims about doping by Chinese athletes are not true," he said.
Gasol also thanked the Chinese athletes for their cooperation. That's what a beautiful one! It not only maintains fairness and justice, but also gives our Chinese players a fair path.
Seriously, this kind of questioning and controversy did have some negative impact on the image of the Chinese delegation. But our Chinese players are really good! Although there is a bit of "grievance" on the domestic Internet, in the Olympic Village, they actively cooperate with the Olympic Committee's testing behavior, and their attitude is good!
The competition was still exciting, and the Chinese players showed their strength
Anyway, let's take a look at the game! Despite these troubles, the Chinese players were not intimidated.
In the men's 200m individual medley final, our Wang Shun made it all the way to the top three! Although he was eventually preceded by France's Leon · Marchand with an Olympic record, Wang Shun's bronze medal was also quite remarkable.
Looking at the women's 200m backstroke, although Chinese player Peng Xuwei failed to enter the top three, the sixth place result is also quite good. You know, this is a field with many of the world's top players!
As of 13:30 on August 3, the Chinese team has won 1 gold, 2 silver and 5 bronze. Although there is still a gap with traditional powerhouses such as Australia and United States, our potential is endless!
Finally, let's still say that the most important thing in sports competition is fairness and justice. I hope that this "testing turmoil" can subside as soon as possible, so that the athletes can concentrate on the competition, and the audience can see more wonderful performances.
Overall, the swimming competition at the Olympics was really exciting! There is both fierce competition and various "off-the-field dramas". However, our Chinese players withstood the pressure and showed good competitive condition and noble sportsmanship. This is the true Olympic spirit!
Let's cheer for the Chinese team together, and I hope that all athletes can play their best and bring us more exciting games!
