Since the World Swimming Championships in Doha were held in the same year as the Paris Olympics, most of the countries in this competition are aimed at testing the results of training. On the field, the Chinese swimming team blew a "youth storm", and they broke records again and again and reached the top of the world.
The 19-year-old Pan Zhanle is undoubtedly the team's biggest gain this time.
On the first day of the swimming event, Pan Zhanle, Ji Xinjie, Zhang Zhanshuo and Wang Haoyu partnered in the men's 4x100m freestyle relay final, and the team won the gold medal with a time of 3:11.08.

In that race, Pan Zhanle, who started first, swam a time of 46.80 seconds, breaking the world record held by Romanian star Popovich. From the Fukuoka World Championships to the Hangzhou Asian Games, Pan Zhanle, who has constantly surpassed himself, has finally become the world's "No. 1 Flying Fish" and successfully fulfilled his promise.
Breaking the world record is a natural thing to do, and my goal is to swim faster and without a limit. He said.
The men's 100m freestyle is Poon's main event, after he was ranked No. 1 in the FINA event. In Doha's "Flying Fish Battle", Pan Zhanle won again with a time of 47.53 seconds and won the first gold medal in the individual event at the World Championships.

Facing the opponent's pursuit, Tang Qianting withstood the pressure and took the lead in touching the wall. Her winning result also broke the national record set by Ji Liping in 2009.
Since Luo Xuejuan won the championship in 2003, the Chinese team has been waiting for 21 years for the women's 100m breaststroke gold medal at the World Championships. Inheriting the mantle of her predecessors, Tang Qianting also set her sights on the Olympic Games. She was eager to swim to within 1:05 and stand on the podium.
In the eyes of the coach, the girl who "can endure hardships and overcome difficulties" is trying to become a new "frog queen".
In the men's 200m breaststroke final, Dong Zhihao won the gold medal with a time of 2:07.94. He overtook five runners in the last 50 meters and staged a super reversal.
Dong Zhihao, who started in lane five, adopted the following tactics in the first 100 meters and ranked sixth. At the 150m, he began to gradually accelerate and close the gap between him and his rivals.
In the last 50 meters, Dong Zhihao sprinted hard, and the sliding frequency improved significantly. In the last 5 meters, he rose to first place and eventually won the championship.

In that game, the Chinese team sent Ai Yanhan, Gong Zhenqi, Li Bingjie, and Yang Peiqi to play. At the time of the second handover, the team was only fifth. After Li Bingjie appeared on the stage, she quickly narrowed the gap with her opponent and overtook the first place, and her swim time of 1:54.59 was also the fastest time among the competitors.

"Before the game, I didn't expect to be able to beat the Korean team in its heyday. Ji Xinjie said after the game. In the men's and women's 4x100m freestyle relay finals, the Chinese team composed of Pan Zhanle, Wang Haoyu, Li Bingjie and Yu Yiting won the championship with a time of 3:21.18, and at the same time set a new Asian record set by the team in the preliminaries.

In the final, Pan Zhanle, who took the lead, quickly established his advantage, and the Chinese team ranked first at the handover. Wang Haoyu, who played second, helped the Chinese team consolidate its lead and took a position lead of nearly one person. Then Li Bingjie and Yu Yiting withstood the opponent's pursuit, and the Chinese team made history again.
