China's top swimmers were put in the spotlight after a series of doping allegations, and then the United States claimed that the World Anti-Doping Agency covered up the matter, which caused controversy. Chinese swimmers who went to Paris to compete were tested twice as many times as some other countries' athletes. Such frequent testing has a serious impact on athletes' rest, but Chinese athletes resisted the pressure and won the championship. This is the best way to defeat arrogance with a championship .
As the recognized hegemon in the world sports world, the American team has an advantage in some events that no one can compete with for many years. This is the basis for them to maintain their advantages, such as track and field, basketball, and swimming;
However, as a sports powerhouse that is striving to become a sports powerhouse, we must have our own trump cards, such as table tennis, diving, and gymnastics. However, in comparison, these events do not have as "wide audience" as theirs. This has led to some sports fans having an inexplicable ridicule of Chinese sports. The achievements in "weak events" seem to have become China's magic weapon to catch up with the United States.
However, hard work always brings opportunities. Zheng Qinwen proved that Chinese people are not only good at table tennis, but also tennis! The swimming team defeated the arrogant Americans and won the 4*100 mixed swimming relay after the crazy performance of four young guys. You know, the United States has monopolized this event for 40 years!
This is a breakthrough, this is progress! The road from a sports power to a sports powerhouse is bound to be full of thorns, but this is by no means an excuse to stop working hard. When true success comes, all doubts will be quickly eliminated; when the real challenge is defeated, a new king will inevitably be born!
After the game, the boys accepted interviews from reporters and expressed their excitement. Of course, they also thanked their teammates for their help and the team's support. Xu Jiayu said, "Today I felt particularly strong, and I was really confident that I could achieve a good result today, so I did it today." Qin Haiyang and Sun Jiajun said, "Today I think this is the most beautiful battle we fought!"
Pan Zhanle, who was widely distrusted before, said, "Thanks to my good teammates, they gave me confidence and a little advantage. We are the champions. Others should be dissatisfied, not us." This is a huge boost to Pan Zhanle's confidence. His outstanding personal performance and return to form during the game have effectively repelled all kinds of disrespectful comments from the outside world, and all kinds of questions have truly been answered correctly.
