In the early morning of February 18, Beijing time, the competition of the swimming events of the 2024 World Aquatics Championships continued. In the men's and women's 4 100m 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 an Asian record set by them in the preliminaries. Australia finished second and the U.S. team finished third.
It is worth mentioning that since the establishment of the men's and women's 4 100m freestyle events at the 2015 World Championships, the champions have been "rounded" by the Australian team and the American team. This time at the World Championships in Doha, the Chinese team finally filled the gap that the event had never won a medal in the World Series.
This is also the seventh gold medal won by the Chinese team in swimming at this World Championships. Among them, 19-year-old Pan Zhanle won 4 golds.
After the game, Poon said: "It's a team victory. In fact, my personal results can only be said to be average, and I will continue to work hard when I go back. There are some strong teams that don't send out the strongest teams, so we can't be proud of winning the championship. Next, we must continue to tighten this string, guard against arrogance and rashness, and strive to make another breakthrough in the Olympic Games. ”
