In the women's 200m butterfly final of the Paris Olympics that ended in the early morning of August 2, Beijing time, defending champion Zhang Yufei of China played ill and finally won the bronze medal with a time of 2:05.09. Canada's Mackintosh won gold in 2:03.03. This result also broke the Olympic record of 2:03.86 held by Zhang Yufei.

After the game, Zhang Yufei shed tears in an interview, she revealed that she had just finished her fever and encountered her menstrual period: "This is the first day (menstrual period), the game at half past eight, and I only prepared at seven fifty." My whole right side is numb. I didn't expect to be able to swim so fast, because I had been numb before entering the water, and I didn't prepare for activities like usual, I only swam 1000 meters, and I got into the water. ”

Regarding his insistence on representing the sick competition, Zhang Yufei bluntly said that he has no regrets: "To put it bluntly, it may really be death in the pool." ”

This Olympic Games was not smooth for Zhang Yufei. In addition to the doubts of the outside world, frequent drug test interference has troubled Chinese swimmers, including her. However, Zhang Yufei deserves to be regarded as a major player, even if there is no time and place, she still won bronze medals in both of her main events, and she has won 3 bronze medals so far this year.

Next, Zhang Yufei will also represent the Chinese team in the men's and women's medley relay and other events, and we also hope that the "Chinese butterfly queen" can recover as soon as possible and lead the Chinese relay team to achieve good results in the Olympic arena again.
