In the men's 4x100m medley relay final of the Paris Olympics swimming that ended in the early morning of August 5, Beijing time, the Chinese team composed of Xu Jiayu, Qin Haiyang, Sun Jiajun and Pan Zhanle lived up to expectations and won the gold medal with a time of 3:27.46. The Chinese team also broke the long-standing monopoly of the United States team in the Olympic Games.
It is worth noting that Qin Haiyang, who has been questioned, has swam in the best shape again after yesterday's mixed men's and women's encounter. As we all know, the breaststroke is the most open gap among the four swimming styles, so the quality of Qin Haiyang's performance is directly related to whether the Chinese team can compete for the gold medal. And this time, Qin Haiyang, who was under pressure, withstood it.
When the first baton Xu Jiayu was handed over to the side for the first time, Qin Haiyang also held the advantage, he always maintained the lead, and successfully beat his old rival, United States Fink, and once again handed the first baton to Sun Jiajun of butterfly swimming. According to the results, Qin Haiyang swam 57.98 seconds, which is slightly slower than the 57.82 seconds he used in the mixed mix yesterday, but it is already much better than his previous performance in the 100m breaststroke event.
Qin Haiyang also proved once again that he was not a flash in the pan. Previously, the loss of gold was only due to too much pressure and expectations. And this time, he successfully completed the redemption and won 1 gold and 1 silver in a row for the Chinese relay team in the Paris Olympics.
After the game, Qin Haiyang said movingly in an interview: "I've been under a lot of pressure these days, but I couldn't have done without the support of the whole team and my teammates to redeem myself. Our combination was to break the United States team's monopoly on the project, and we did it!”
Indeed, after successfully fighting back against doubts with outstanding performance to complete the redemption, Qin Haiyang is still the "frog king" loved by Chinese swimming fans, and he will continue to carry the banner of Chinese swimming to compete with Europe and the United States in the future.
