At 19:30 on August 5, Beijing time, on the last day of the Paris Swimming Championships, the Chinese swimming team ran a good time of 3:27.46 in the men's 4×100-meter medley final, winning the 19th gold medal of this swimming competition, which ended perfectly.
As one of the team members who won the gold medal in this Paris Olympic Games, Shanghai athlete Qin Haiyang won the championship game for the team with his outstanding performance.
Because this is the third gold medal won by Qin Haiyang in this year's Paris, he has become an out-and-out three gold kings.
How did Qin Haiyang, who is known as the "Ocean of God", get such results, today the editor will take you to understand.
Magic Coach.
Born in 1998, Qin Haiyang devoted all his energy to swimming, and although he had to take a break from swimming for some reasons after that, he never thought of giving up swimming.
He had already shown his love for swimming when he was young, and after a period of study and training, he found that his swimming talent was very outstanding, so he proposed to the coach that he wanted to be able to train more deeply in swimming.
Later, with the help of his parents, he went to the first-class swimming school in China at that time to study, during which he met his coach Ye Jin.
Ye Jin is known as the "Magic Coach" because of her amazing achievements in her club, and because she always opens a new window for athletes to discover their potential and nurture it.
Therefore, the athletes who were coached by Coach Ye Jin have never been rumored to have failed to achieve results, which can be seen from the results of the athletes she brought out.
At that time, when he met the athletes he came to train, Coach Ye Jin just asked a question: "What kind of athlete do you make yourself to be?"
As a result, the athlete in front of him waited only a few seconds before replying, "World class!"
This confident answer surprised Ye Jin and made her full of expectations, so in the next training, Coach Ye Jin continued to put pressure on the athlete in front of her, and whenever he was able to complete the actions assigned by the coach, she said to him with anticipation: "Look at it, you can do more than you think."
But she never slackened on the athlete in front of her because of this, but demanded the athlete in front of her more strictly, so that he must be perfect in every movement.
This athlete never slackens, waking up early and going to bed late every day to achieve his goals according to the coach's requirements.
It is precisely because of the strict requirements of the coach and his own efforts that Coach Ye Jin called it "Divine Ocean", which is enough to see that this athlete's performance has reached the point where she is very surprised.
Swimming talent.
Since 2017, Qin Haiyang has started his breakthrough journey in swimming, becoming the "gold winner" of major national competitions, and breaking the national, Asian and even world swimming youth records again and again.
So far, he has broken the national swimming record 15 times, five of which were Asian records, and the world junior record four times.
It was during 2019 that Qin Haiyang participated in the World Swimming Championships in Gwangju, Korea, when he was only 18 years old, and won the second place in the men's 200m breaststroke individual event with a time of 2:06.96, and broke the national swimming record, becoming the second fastest swimmer in Asian swimming history.
In this event, he broke the national record twice with a time of 2:06.78 and set a personal PB, which also put him second among swimmers in the world this year.
can be described as a "little genius", which is what he should have at that age, it is enough to see that his talent is genius-level.
In 2019, Qin Haiyang participated in the 200m breaststroke final during the FINA Swimming World Cup Series and won the championship with a time of 2:00.44, and also updated his PB to 2:00.14, which was the highlight of the event.
At the 2020 FINA World Swimming Series, he competed in the men's 200m breaststroke, winning the championship with a time of 2:04.73, while also updating his PB to 2:00.48.
However, at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, while facing the historical athletes, he was not in good shape at the time, and finally finished sixth with a time of 2:08.92 and only finished sixth in the individual event.
Insist on breakthroughs.
Although he did not get the desired ranking, Qin Haiyang has become a superstar in the Chinese swimming world at this time and the pride of the times, but in the days that followed, there were some regrettable circumstances that even made him give up his swimming career.
After participating in the Asian Championships in 2022, he had to leave the pool temporarily due to family reasons, but fortunately, with the encouragement of his relatives and the persuasion of Ye Jin, he decided to return to the pool to continue his swimming journey.
And in the following events, he continued to break the national swimming record, especially in this Paris Swimming Championships, although he did not get the individual results he wanted, he did not give up, and finally won the relay gold medal for the Chinese group.
As for why he thinks he didn't get a satisfactory result in the individual competition, what does he think?
He said: "I don't think I'm in a very good state now, although I haven't achieved good results, but it's just a moment in my life, and I still have a long way to go, which doesn't mean that I will be like this in the future."
Therefore, when facing the relay race, Qin Haiyang met the race with a relaxed mentality, he did not put too much pressure on himself, thinking that he still has a long way to go at this stage, which can make him more relaxed and happy in every race.
In the end, he lived up to expectations and won the relay gold medal for the Chinese team with his outstanding performance, and this gold medal was also his third gold.
epilogue
In this year's Paris Swimming Championships, the Chinese swimming team not only won 18 gold medals, but also won relay gold medals, and these 19 gold medals were won by the major swimming celebrities and swimming superstars, so they are worthy of our pride and pride.
It is hoped that the subsequent young athletes can continue to break through themselves and create new brilliance in the World Championships under their guidance, and also look forward to the growth of new potential players.
In the next swimming competition, while working hard, mainland athletes should also pay more attention to the adjustment of mentality, and I believe that in the future competitions, we will definitely see more brilliant results.
At the same time, we also hope that mainland athletes can continue to break through their limits and create new brilliance in future competitions!
