The men's 100m flying fish battle at the 2024 World Swimming Championships in Doha was unexpected, and Pan Zhanle's process of winning the gold medal was full of uncertainties. His winning time of 47.53 seconds was not as impressive as expected, and was even 0.0 years slower than the fourth place finish at the last World Championships1 second.
* The broadcast footage shows that Pan Zhanle performed smoothly in the first 50 meters, but did not establish a clear advantage, and the last 50 meters should have accelerated, but did not see his "crazy" acceleration. In the last 20-meter sprint, several competitors went hand in hand, Pan Zhanle, Wang Haoyu, Italy's Miresi, and Hungary's Nemes quickly changed their rankings, and Pan Zhanle once fell to fourth, and finally withstood the pressure and reached the finish line first.
After repeated ** video recording and contact with the scene, it was found that Pan Zhanle was once mistakenly marked as fourth, and in fact he had been leading slightly, but the lead was not obvious, which made the broadcaster make mistakes. This victory was a thrilling victory, as they finished fifth at the last World Championships and even more difficult to win a medal at Tokyo, so it will be a huge challenge to win the gold medal in Paris.
In the post-match interview, Pan Zhanle admitted that he was a little nervous, surprised by the slow results of the final, and confused about the problem. The author believes that Pan Zhanle's continuous combat ability still needs to be improved, especially after participating in multiple competitions in a row, which may affect his physical strength. In addition, under the pressure of being the number one hit, it has increased the burden.
At the Paris Olympics, Pan will face more strong opponents such as last year's world champion Chalmers of Australia, Tokyo Olympic champion Dressel of the United States and former world record holder Popovich of Romania. Poon needs to be confident, but he also needs to be vigilant, after all, the 100m freestyle is a big accident, and the slightest mistake can lead to losing the position.
If Pan can further improve his fitness and control his mentality, he will still be the favorite for the Paris Olympics. The key is to "charge up", considering that it is relatively thin and less confrontational, and it is prone to problems with too many game tasks. World Swimming Championships in Doha 2024
