3 golds in one night, China fell to No. 2! Liu Yang defended the title, Fan Zhendong won the Grand Slam, and the men's 4×100 won the gold

On this past Paris Olympic day, Chinese Olympians won gold medals in many events and sent back a number of impressive moments. After Fan Zhendong defeated Moregard 4-1 to achieve the Grand Slam, Wang Hao emotionally picked up Fan Zhendong, and the two displayed the national flag together in the Olympic arena, and all the burden was lifted at this moment. The 10-3 lead was chased to 10-8, which shows how much Fan Zhendong longs for this gold medal in his heart, so that he is a little confused. In the end, a return ball twisted a straight line to score, and a table tennis legend comparable to Deng Yaping and Ma Long was born.

In the gymnastics arena, Liu Yang defended the men's rings championship, Zou Jingyuan won the silver medal, and the gymnasts were finally able to sweep away the depression of the previous team's regretful loss of gold.

The climax of the day came in the "pool fights", the men's 4×100m mixed to be exact. In the past 10 Olympic Games, the gold medal in this event has been monopolized by the United States team for 40 years. The United States swimming team has established an undefeated image in this event that no one can shake. But Pan Zhanle's birth gave the Chinese swimming team hope, as long as the first 3 sticks can bite, or there are not many behind, then the last stick Pan Zhanle is fully capable of catching up and surpassing.

And the final plot is similar to what was expected before the game. After the first two bats Xu Jiayu and Qin Haiyang swam, the Chinese team was in the first place, and Sun Jiajun was half a position ahead of the second place when he started. The Chinese team was at a disadvantage compared to the United States team, and sure enough, Sun Jiajun began to be overtaken after entering the second half. When handing over the baton, he was more than half a position behind, but in less than a second, such a result was in line with expectations, and it was also within the range of Pan Zhanle's ability to chase back.

After Pan Zhanle entered the water, his feet seemed to be equipped with an electric motor, and he quickly began to run at high speed, and after the end of the first half, the disadvantage had been basically wiped out, and in the second half of the race, it became Pan Zhanle's SHOW TIME. I saw him swim faster and faster, like a flying fish in the water. He swam 45.92 seconds, almost 0.5 seconds faster than the previous record-breaking 46.40 seconds, which surprised the audience.

This earth-shattering reversal also made the dreams of his teammates come true, especially Xu Jiayu. This is the 3rd Olympic Games in which Xu Jiayu participated, and in the 16th Rio Olympics, Xu Jiayu won the silver medal in the 100m backstroke, which was the first medal in the Chinese men's backstroke event at the Olympic Games, which was a milestone. At the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, Xu Jiayu won the silver medal with his teammates in the men's and women's 4×100m medley relay. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Xu Jiayu won the silver medal in the men's 100m backstroke final with a time of 52.32 seconds.

3 consecutive Olympic Games and 3 silver medals, if he ends the Paris Olympics with such a performance, Xu Jiayu will definitely leave with regrets, and it is likely that he will not have the opportunity to make up for it. Because he is 28 years old, and swimming is a sport for young people. At the golden age of his career, he won 3 consecutive silvers, hoping to win gold after 4 years to break his fate, which is actually a bit difficult for a strong man. It is also the strong rise of the younger Pan Zhanle that has given the Chinese swimming team the capital to shake the dominance of the United States swimming team in the men's 4×100m mixed event.

After the game, Xu Jiayu also updated social media and expressed his feelings after winning the championship. "On the last day of the dream of Paris, the moment when the national flag was raised and the national anthem was played, I thought of what Director Xu said to me, I burst into tears, thank Director Xu Thank you Brother Cai Li (Coach Cai) for your careful guidance in the past 4 years, and thank leaders at all levels for their trust and support to me. Thank you to the Chinese swimming team! Thank you to the Chinese Problem Group! Our chapter continues. Thank you. ”

The Xu Dao mentioned by Xu Jiayu is Xu Guoyi, who died of illness in 2020. During his lifetime, he had trained many Olympic champions and world champions, including Ye Shiwen, Fu Yuanhui, Wu Peng and others, but "cultivating a men's Olympic champion" was Director Xu's long-cherished wish. It's a pity that he didn't have a chance to see it, which is also the reason why Xu Jiayu touched the scene and cried, but this gold medal is enough to comfort the teacher, congratulations to Xu Jiayu, congratulations to the Chinese men's swimming team, you have achieved a feat that seems impossible for outsiders!
