On August 5, Beijing time, Chinese swimming created the strongest miracle on the last day, breaking the United States 10-meter medley relay and winning the gold medal in the 4×100-meter medley relay.
In the interview after the game, there was a scene that was very, very moving, the three members of the swimming team spoke one after another, and there was a young player Sun Jiajun who kept crying, and even dared not face the camera, but we can't ignore it, and we can't forget the important efforts made behind Sun Jiajun.
In the 4×100m medley relay, the Chinese team made a very, very unexpected decision, after the 4×100 preliminaries, we chose to replace the substitute player Sun Jiajun in the butterfly stroke, and replaced Wang Changhao, who was in bad shape. The Chinese team also thinks that Sun Jiajun is a very powerful young talent, also a post-00 generation, also only 24 years old. He thinks he has a better chance of helping the team swim better in the finals.
But in fact, at this time, replacing his teammates in danger, Sun Jiajun himself is under huge pressure, in case he doesn't swim well and drags down a few big brothers and world-class athletes, what should he do? In the other three positions in the finals, our Chinese team was all ranked first, and only Sun Jiajun ranked third, and indeed his strength was slightly weaker, so he fell from first to third, but look at the scene after the game.
When he finally won the gold medal for an interview, Sun Jiajun kept crying and crying, because he knew that we were the weakest in this stick, but he withstood it. Some people say that he fell from 1st to 3rd, but the strength of his butterfly teammates is not even as good as him, and he can guarantee that he is still ranked third, which is already very good, and he did not open too much gap with the United States France in front of him, giving Pan Zhanle the opportunity to overtake the sky.
If the gap between him and the front is too big, Pan Zhanle will not even have a chance to overtake, why does Sun Jiajun keep crying? Because he is a substitute, because our butterfly strength has not been very good, he has withstood the pressure is already very good, among the other three sticks, Qin Haiyang's second breaststroke earned us 0.99 seconds, blowing up all the players, Pan Zhanle beat all opponents by at least 1.27 seconds, Xu Jiayu was also the first to go to the side, just his stick was a little slower, can he not blame himself? But his butterfly is already the best young man we can select.
Let's look at Sun Jiajun's great results, and in the end he swam a time of 51.19 seconds, which is even higher than his personal best! He's already played at a super level in this one. Because the three teammates are too strong, they are all top players, and everyone is the first to go to the side, so Sun Jiajun is very, very stressed, in case he really loses this gold medal because he didn't swim well, then you can imagine how much pressure he has, and how many people on the Internet will spray him?
It's too difficult, but as the weakest event of the medley relay, I fought hard, don't forget Sun Jiajun, who cried silently, he appeared as a substitute temporarily, and his performance was so good, he is already worthy of all of us moving and applauding. When praising Pan Zhanle Qin Haiyang, don't forget that Sun Jiajun, who worked hard as a substitute, only lost 1.1 seconds in this stick and played at a super level. Originally, his strength was the first from the bottom among the 8 finalists in the butterfly, but this time he swam third in his segment, and he should really praise him.
