Pan Zhanle got up quickly, and the splash from his legs was fast, and the splash kept surging in the pool.
It was the final freestyle of the men's 4×100m medley relay final at the Paris Olympics. When the new world record holder Pan Zhanle entered the water, the Chinese team was in third place.

25m, 30m, 50m...... Pan Zhanle is getting closer and closer to United States' Armstrong in front of him.
Touching the wall and turning, Pan Zhanle overtook Armstrong to swim in second.
In the last 50 meters, Pan Zhanle was getting faster and faster, and the distance between him and the France team, who was still in the first place at this time, was getting smaller and smaller......
The last 20 meters, beyond!

On the TV screen, the female commentator who cheered for Pan Zhanle throughout the whole process was so excited that she shouted out her voice again.
3:27.46! Win! Pan Zhanle's first touch made the stopwatch freeze instantly, and the Chinese team successfully won the gold medal 0.55 seconds ahead of the United States team, and the France team fell to third.

At this moment, the history of Chinese swimming was once again rewritten. This is the first time that a Chinese swimmer has won an Olympic championship in this event, and it also broke the 40-year monopoly of the United States captain.
It's a team win! The Chinese team, composed of Xu Jiayu, Qin Haiyang, Wang Changhao and Pan Zhanle, easily advanced to the final with a time of 3:31.58 in the preliminaries. In the final on the evening of the 4th, the Chinese team made minor adjustments in personnel, and Sun Jiajun replaced Wang Changhao as the butterfly baton.

After the start of the competition, Xu Jiayu beat his old rival Murphy of the United States in the first backstroke to seize the opportunity, and the three-time world champion Qin Haiyang continued to maintain the lead in the breaststroke. The third butterfly is the relative weakness of the Chinese team, but it is the strong stick of the United States team and the France team. Sun Jiajun tried his best to keep the third position, and the last stick was handed over to Pan Zhanle, who had won the gold medal in the 100-meter "Flying Fish" battle.
August 4 is Pan Zhanle's 20th birthday. Before going to the Paris Olympics, Pan Zhanle said that on the day he broke the world record at the World Championships in Doha, he set a small goal: "Strive to score 46 seconds in the men's mixed final on his 20th birthday!" ”

How hard is this goal?
In the 4x100m medley relay at the National Swimming Championships in April this year, Poon said he had tried his best and finally swam to 46.70 seconds. He had just broken the world record at the Paris Olympics with a time of 46.40 seconds. Swimming in 46 seconds means he needs to swim faster after deducting the reaction time for the baton.
In the race, he took 0.2 seconds to "take over" Sun Jiajun, and he almost had a perfect start reaction. After turning around in the 50 meters to chase the second, Pan Zhanle once again staged a "non-human" speed in the last 50 meters, replicating the famous scene of "hard control" of the whole field and counterattacking all the way in the mixed 4×100m medley relay preliminaries. He hit his leg with great speed and finally touched the wall first with a half-body lead!

According to the official statistics after the race, Pan Zhanle's segment time in the last shot was an astonishing 45.92 seconds, even with the starting reaction of taking over the baton, it was enough to surpass the men's 100m freestyle world record he had just set! The fastest time of the other riders in the final round was Armstrong's 47.19 seconds.
"It's enough to be faster than Sun Yang" "This time I will definitely break through the results, not for a new world record, but for a new personal best"...... Since Pan Zhanle played primary school swimming, he has blown a lot of "cows", and they have all achieved it at the Paris Olympics.

The 20th birthday is here. Many people still remember his small goal for this day vividly and are full of anticipation.
Amazingly, he really did it again! Many people were shocked in disbelief and lamented the "non-human" speed.

"You've achieved your pre-race goal, swam 46 seconds!"
In the mixed mining area, in the face of the congratulations of reporters, Pan Zhanle said with a smile: "That was the goal a year ago. ”
"Are you going to swim 45 seconds?" The reporter asked with a smile.
"That's right!" Pan Zhanle replied subconsciously, and then hurriedly changed his words with a smile: "Actually, I can't believe that I can swim to 46.40 seconds, but I did it again today, plus the reaction time, it's faster than 46.40 seconds." ”
Previously, his world record in the 100m freestyle had been called a "non-human" result by many, and United States star Phelps considered it "unheard of". In this regard, Pan Zhanle said: "The world record is mine, and I believe that I can swim even faster in the future!" ”
