Heck, don't rush to swipe the screen, this story is a bit exciting! Ten years ago, there was a 10-year-old boy who said proudly: "It's enough to be faster than Sun Yang!" "This is not much of a braggadocio because today he not only lived up to his promise, but also set a world record in the 100m freestyle. This little boy is our dear "World Flying Fish" - Pan Zhanle!
Imagine that ten years ago, this little kid was by the pool, with a "I'm the best" expression on his face, and swore to reporters: "I want to take anything!" And when asked what he thought of the idol Sun Yang, he actually said directly: "It's enough to be faster than Sun Yang!" It's just a small version of the "rhetorical".
And this little arrogance is Pan Zhanle. He is not impulsive, in ten years, he not only realized the bold words of the year, but also did it faster than Sun Yang, or even faster. In the men's 4x100m freestyle relay at the 2024 FINA World Championships, Pan Zhanle and his partners won the championship in one fell swoop, and Pan Zhanle broke the world record in the 100m freestyle with a time of 46.80 seconds.
Imagine that the current Pan Zhanle is no longer the little boy who was full of arrogance. After the game, he said with a smile: "I was actually prepared before the game, and there may be surprises in this state today, but I didn't dare to say it clearly, for fear that if I said it, it would fail." "This guy is really a scheming, he already knew that it might be a record, but he deliberately made a look of "I didn't expect it either". That's interesting!
Remember that little boy ten years ago? At the 2014 Shaoxing Provincial Games, Pan Zhanle, who had just turned 10, began to emerge. Seven gold medals in five days, including 50m, 100m, 400m freestyle and 200m medley, are better than fish in the pool. The reporter asked him how many gold medals he was going to win, and he replied without hesitation: "I want to take anything!" "This kid was a gold medal harvester at the time!
Not only that, but he even said: "It's enough to be faster than Sun Yang." "Wow, Sun Yang was a legend of Chinese swimming at that time, and he dared to compare it so directly. It seems that this kid had a kind of confidence like no other in the first place. And now, he is no longer a little kid, but the "flying fish of the world" that made history.
At the FINA World Championships, Pan Zhanle not only led the Chinese team to win the men's 4x100m freestyle relay championship, but also broke the world record with an outstanding performance in the 100m freestyle competition. This is the little boy who is "faster than Sun Yang", and now the "World Flying Fish"! This makes one wonder what brilliant results he will achieve in the future.
For Pan Zhanle's performance, it is really breathtaking. Not only set a world record in the 100-meter freestyle, but also led the team to win the championship in one fell swoop. After the race, he humbly said: "It was a wonderful moment and I couldn't have won this title without the help of my teammates. It seems that the little man has long understood the importance of teamwork.
And this world record breaking also adds more expectations for the upcoming Summer Olympics in Paris. Imagine that Pan Zhanle will challenge more arenas and set more records as the "World Flying Fish". I can't wait!
Okay, readers, this is the little boy we said 10 years ago that "it's enough to be faster than Sun Yang", and now Pan Zhanle, who is making history.
