A new season of sports
On February 19, 2024, Beijing time, the 17-day FINA World Championships in Doha came to an end, and the Chinese delegation held a full meeting and ranked first with 23 golds, 8 silvers and 2 bronzes, far ahead of other countries in the gold medal table. What is even more exciting than the first is that the Chinese swimming delegation with young athletes under the age of 20 as the team won 7 golds, 3 silvers and 1 bronze, which also indicates the rise of the Chinese swimming team.
Diving team: 9 golds and 4 silvers.
The Chinese diving team won nine gold medals in the 10 events they competed in, with the only gold medal being the men's 1m springboard. In the women's 3-meter springboard, women's 10-meter platform, men's 3-meter platform and men's 10-meter platform four individual competitions, the Chinese diving team also won gold and silver medals.
In the women's event, Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi, who have gradually matured and steady, are still the leaders of the Chinese team, and their outstanding performance on the 10-meter platform has reassured everyone. I believe that in the next 10 years, no one will be able to shake their position. In the 3-meter springboard event, as veterans, Chang Yani and Chen Yiwen also set a good example for other players.
In the men's event, we were pleased to see that the 14-year-old Huang Jianjie won the championship in the mixed doubles 10m platform. This also shows the strategy and determination of the Chinese team to cultivate new talents, and the championship can not only give young players confidence but also increase their experience in participating. In addition, veterans such as Yang Hao and Wang Zongyuan are still the main force of the men's event, and the Chinese team of the Paris Olympics will defend the title of our diving dream team with this set of members.
Synchronized swimming team: 7 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze.
The Chinese synchronized swimming team at this World Championships can be said to have blossomed a lot, Wang Qianyi and Wang Liuyi, as twin sisters of the swimming team, joined forces to win four gold medals. In the absence of Russia, the Chinese team dominated the synchronized swimming competition, and they gave everyone a wonderful visual experience with their exquisite skills and superb performance level.
Swimming team: 7 gold, 3 silver and 1 bronze.
The most surprising thing about this World Championships is the swimming competition, in the absence of Zhang Yufei, Qin Haiyang, Wang Shun and other famous players, the Chinese team won 7 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze excellent results, which impressed the audience all over the world. Poon also achieved the feat of winning four gold medals alone, and not only that, but Poon also set a new world record in the 100m freestyle. Just like Liu Xiang set a world record in the men's 110m hurdles, Pan Zhanle will be the focus of the world's attention in the next decade.
In addition to Pan Zhanle, the Chinese swimming team has also emerged many young athletes, 16-year-old Zhang Zhanshuo, 14-year-old Gong Zhenqi, and 19-year-old Dong Zhihao, all of whom won the world championship at the age of less than 20, and they have a lot of room for growth. Although some foreign countries claim that many world famous players have not participated in many competitions, so that Chinese young players have the opportunity to win the championship, but don't forget that after 5 years, when those world famous players retire, Chinese young players will become the backbone of the world swimming world. Let's cheer them on together, the Paris Olympics, here we come.
