How Pan Zhanle Broke the First WORLD RECORD in the Paris Olympics 

I really hope everyone takes the time to watch the full video before leaving a comment. Sport is incredible, so let’s show our respect for all the athletes competing!

Why are Chinese athletes being questioned when they swim so fast? Then why did no one dare to question Phelps when he won seven or eight gold medals?

Dear pan All I can say is congratulations, as a black African I know how you feel, these same nasty people treated us with contempt, like dirt and trash and are still doing it.......i was cheering for you all the way and I am happy that you won, keep on perfecting yourself, these people are born jealous and envious. There is no cure for such people.

I appreciate that you're treating Pan Zhanle respectfully! I've seen a lot of popular swim coaches/personalities online being disrespectful and borderline racist. Thank you for being grounded and down to earth :)

Not only the US. Here in Germany lots of tv commentators talk shit about the Chinese athletes all the time like they are all doping. Very annoying and shameful

As an American, I feel ashamed of the envy shown by athletes from Europe and the United States towards Pan's achievements and world records. Chinese athletes have undergone over 200 drug tests within 10 days, proving their success is not due to performance-enhancing drugs. Despite this, some people still question athletes from other countries, which is truly disgraceful.

1. Those who have been genuinely following swimming will know that Pan's performance has improved step by step, and he is the only person in the world who has swum under 47 seconds multiple times. 2022 Budapest: 47.65 2023 Fukuoka World Championship: 47.43 Asian Game: 46.97 2024 Doha World Championships: 46.80 WR 2024 Paris: 46.92 OR, 47.21, 46.40 New WR & OR 2. Some swimming enthusiasts on RU-vid have conducted detailed analyses of Pan's swimming techniques through videos. His technique is almost perfect. These are the people who approach the sport from its essence and truly love it, no matter where they come from. 3. Pan Zhanle was not on the list of 23 Swimmers before 2021, as he was less than 17 years old at the time. Meanwhile, the Chinese team is the most tested at this Olympic Games. 4. For those who might only watch the Olympics once every four years, finding such a performance surprising and unacceptable, why? Because when an American or Australian breaks a world record, it's taken for granted. But if a Chinese or Asian does it, then in the eyes of those arrogant and racist people and their media with pea-sized brains, he is guilty, because how could a Chinese or Asian swim or run faster than us? They can only wear glasses and participate in math competitions like nerds.

He also breaks the world record of testing numbers within a short period of time.

I vividly remember when Michale Phelps took home half a dozen golds in 2008 Beijing, my cousin in China excitedly called him a “fish reincarnate”. China welcomed the results graciously; China media did not even attempt to appease to its people’s feelings by accusing him of doping, even though they have a unified state media to do so. U.S. media on the other hand has gotten so used to sucking up to their audience they are more than willing to twist stories around, especially at the expense of a remote country and its people who has no means of arguing for itself. Decades of misinformation stirred and whirled into a self-feeding propaganda that demonizes and dehumanizes a just and sedulous people. American politicians love to tell the people it is not their fault; what they fail to tell is that, globalization has long leveled the playing field for all. The same job an American worker loathes is the bread and butter of a Chinese family. They take the job not to jeopardize America, they do it because their survival depends on it; and contrary to popular belief, they do a good job, because if they didn’t their counterparts in Vietnam, Pakistan, India, will do for less. So Americans, for your own good, stop blaming China for your laziness and incompetence; see them as human beings with every right to happiness and freedom as you, see their hard work not as depriving competition but whose accomplishments are at your disposal and help you combat inflation, see Chinese government as the quiet one the popular kids dislike, but has seldom bothered others, and see the changing world and change with it.

I am so ashamed to be an Aussie, where is our spirit of being a true blue Aussie? The Chinese team has been treated unfairly with more testing than other teams yet we can't accept their success and accusing them with no facts...simply disgusting.

He turn his anger into power , he was treated disrespectful from Australia & US counterpart during pool training. Well done Pan !!!!

Imagine hating other people simply because they’re better than you.

the Chinese swimmers were tested for doping 4 times more than any other country. The number one country for doping is the USA, btw.

As an American I don't blindly support our teams. Character is what I respect and root for, and in these games, Pan had my complete support. Loved watching him perform and was pleasantly shocked by his amazing performances. Great job kid!

If a Chinese swimmer gets gold, then he's doping, if a yank or Aussie gets gold, then no one suspects they're doping, because they've doing it for so long

Thank you for posting this. From someone of Asian descent, I really appreciate you saying this. It really feels like certain people still want to keep this sport like an old country club.

US sports are famous on "purple face"

Congratulations Pan. A fantastic swim. From January 24 to the Olympic Games Pan has been tested 23 times. To add to this he has been tested every day since the games started. The average Australia has been tested for the same period is 4 and swimmers from America is 6 so please get the facts before throwing accusations

You are the first one I see on the foreign media who analyzes the game as an adult! Really appreciate it! Pan is great and he deserves the applause but not racism and jealous! Thank you!

Shame on those racists. The fact is Pan is the fastest and he is Asian. He is young and talented and hardworking so he of course deserves the gold. He has proved himself multiple times in previous competitions and broke the record before the Olympics. Accusing him without evidence is 100% racism toward Asian.

Maybe they have a good reason to accuse him? “There is no way Pan did not dope, because I’m doping and he is still faster than me”😂

Pan is young, so he told the truth that the USA athletes look down upon on China athletes . Chinese people are too humble, even they are not happy they will not tell others. Respect Pan, i love this guy.

If Pan isn't "Chinese" there will be no questions. Say a lot about who we are!

NEW YORK TIMES TRIED TO DO HIM DIRTY AS SOON AS US LOST. WHAT A LOW CLASS MEDIA.

🇨🇵 ❤ 🇨🇳. Congratulations pan !!! It was an amazing performance. Don't listen to jealous people. You are a great athlete.

Pan did it AGAIN in men's 4x100 mixed relay!!! He beat his own record in his 20th Birthday!!!

The only unfair part in swimming comp is that Apart from the Chinese Team, the other swimmers did not take as many drug test as the Chinese team. Yet so many American media still defame the Chinese Team. Disgrace! Where is the spirit of Olympic.

He is only 19! Unbelievable future in swimming in the next 10 years! Go Pan!!🎉

really appreciate your speaking up against racism and bigotry

Only 19 years old, Pan Zhanle has a very bright future. Kudos!

A NBC TV announcer said , just before they jumped into the pool-I m paraphrasing-“if Pan gets a good start n he has the same speed up n down the pool, all these guys will not be able to catch up with him.” Pan first 50m is 22.28 , Doha was 22.26 David was 22.74/2022. Pan second 50m is 24.12 , Doha was 24.54 , David was 24.12/2022. Humanly not possible? This coach has Shxt for brain because his brain-shxt clogged up his mind without the slightest notion to look into these records. Sad people for their brains are eaten up by Racism!!!

This is such a fresh breeze against SO MUCH negatives of Pan on the US social network!! Thank you!!!

According to an interview after the match, Pan said he was actually holding back his strength before Paris Olympics. To make sure nobody could beat his real record. A young man with ambitions and brain!

So if a Chinese or Russian breaks a World Record immediately there's a big question mark to go with it, but if someone from Florida or Colorado breaks a World Record it's held as a great achievement and one of the greatest thing to happen in swimming right? 😅

Other than your valid observations, people should also see that he has superior technique if they were not blinded by racism. His body remains very level when he swims, compared to all the others in the final who had a lot of inefficient up and down motion. He also has a very efficient low arm recovery and an extremely clean arm entry with little splash, and a powerful kick with no dead spots. Doping doesn't teach you how to have excellent technique.

Yes, please give this young man a respect he deserves.

I read those Asian swimmers were tested 7 times per day by the Paris officials, and still they don’t believe him?

Thank you Fares for your impartial analysis.As a Chinese I would say the west just cannot accept the rising of China in every aspect and sports is one of them.Skepticism is natural, but to say it all loud after someone has broken a new wr is disrespectful and misleading. The double standard of the western media is just disgusting. Pan started training since he was in kindergarten, he deserve applause for his great efforts and talents.I look forward to your analysis on his technique.

The fact: he wins. And he passed all anti-doping tests. No doubt Pan Zhanle is the fastest swimmer in the world today.

As a Chinese ethnic I am glad to see young generation of Chinese who are confident, capable and outspoken. Our parents' and even majority of my generation tend to just quietly put up with unfair treatment. I hope these young folks will always keep their head up, stand tall and fight back. I wish them all the best.

I love Pan’s personality. He disbanded his fan club after he felt that he was getting too much attention from morbid fans. This is a guy who’s wise beyond his age. Behind his blunt demeanour is a hardworking, low-profile and determined athlete, someone who is aware of his superstar status but doesn’t bask in it (he publicly mentioned multiple times that he doesn’t care about titles, fame or criticism), he knows he’s not here just to win medals, but to break human limits, over and over again. Watch this guy.

Chinese swimming teams have been subjected to 7 tests each day everyday and still come out a winner? All tests came back negative. Pan is a god of the pool.

Chinese athletes don't take alcohol or drugs. Even when Pan broke the world record on his 20th birthday, he didn't even taste his birthday cake. As an amateur swimmer, I totally support Pan ❤

Pan had an interview after the victory which he explained his observation of the ‘slow pool’, he said you are eating lots of waves if you are behind, it’s a clear pool if you lead.

That's the best video I ever seen. Sick of Western media full of lies.

The Olympic testing committee (consisting of the US, Australia, the UK, and EU testers) be like, "Let's test this guy 10 times every day around the clock, from 5 am to 2 am the next day. That should disturb his sleep and daily schedule and give our swimmers (US, Australia, the UK, and the EU) an advantage." But no, not only did he beat them all (US, Australia, the UK, and the EU), he also broke his own world record. He is so talented that he is his own most competitive opponent.

Stand straight and tall, Pan. Forget the disrespect. They are just jealous and stupid. You are great, Pan.

M Phelp's comment included, I get what they trying to say: "What PAN has achieved is just Impossible, this got to be some kind of New Drug we never seen or used before." To be honest, what they don't know is that all Chinese Athletes are being tested 21 times since Jan this year, whereas the US and Aussie athletes were only tested 6 times on average. Despite being unfairly treated and discriminated, PAN still managed to Surpass his own World Record! And Win the Gold. Let's Go Pan !, You are the Best !

Congrats Pan you deserve the Gold 🏅 medal 👏👏

US/Aus/UK media’s Nazi like whispering campaign against Pan is disgusting. Pan has passed every single drug test. Pan’s technique is impeccable, his reaction time top notch, why can’t an Asian guy win?

He also held the previous world record, he just broke his own world record!

COMPARING HIS FOREIGN COMPETITORS' ARROGANCE AND INSULT TO HIM, HE IS RIGHT AND GOOD. HE BEATS THEM ALL! THAT IS THE FACT!

He won fair and square . He undergone all test set by Olympic committee. He is amazing swimmer .

Pan did it again in the relay today. He did 45.92 in the final leg of 4*100. If we added up the reaction time (0.6s) and minus the handover time (0.21s) he broke his own world record again. He’s making the history even in the slow pool

Congratulations China. You did it. I am not Chinese but am a proud Asian. For decades the western world dominated the pool events. It's hard to swallow defeat when Asians show they are now going to win medals in the Pools too. So I think the Westerners should be more gracious and accept this fact. Be a sport.

As a Chinese, I really appreciate your speaking up against racism and bigotry 😭😭😭 this is heart warming!

As a Chinese, I'm so Happy to see such a clean comments zone！

He was tested the most out of all the swimmers and was clean every time (including after his performance). He also set the world record back in February at Worlds.

Pan is just fast, people have to accept that. Thanks for being respectful about him. The people who say he's cheating are just jealous of him

Pan 's 🏅 is unquestionably the cleanest since he was continuously tested 3 times more than the other athletes. If the other swimmers were tested this frequently, do you think they would have been qualified??????!!!!!!!!

Chinese coaches: If you can't beat them, train harder. US and Australian coaches: If you can't beat them, accuse them of cheating, if the tests results come out clean, accuse WADA of cheating.

When someone in Asia wins , it's always like he cheated , he cheated. When shall they learn to give praise without complaining?

It is all about technique. You can see Pan’s swimming is extraordinarily streamlined and it is just enjoyable to watch him swim.

It is recommended to watch his interviews with Chinese media, where his responses are both appropriate and kind. Despite being only 19 years old, he deserves more respect than anyone else. When asked by a reporter how he plans to celebrate his upcoming birthday, he replied, "I won't think about that for now. The country comes before the family." He stated that winning a gold medal doesn't change anything and he will continue to practice hard, but it is significant for the country. Additionally, he mentioned that the taunts directed at him have no effect on him. He is a person worthy of respect, unlike those undisciplined athletes who only seek to make money.

This reminds me of what happened in Ping Pong. A Swedish player came out of nowhere and won the silver. Chinese Ping Pong team has been so dominant and a non Chinese vs Chinese gold match is considered a big failure for the national team. Yet, Chines people loved him and he becomes really popular on Chinese social media and zero hate. Acknowledge talent when you see it & learn from the great.

Rule of thumb: if US accuses you of something, they must have done that already.

Thankyou for sharing this. It does feel very hurtful to hear how Russians and Asians must be doping if they win. They also train hard, dream big, make the sacrifices and do their absolute best. Congratulations to Pan.

More than 600 asthma patients from the United States participated in the competition, they are truly disabled and determined. These people might as well participate in the Paralympic Games together

I am ashamed to be an Aussies after hearing our own swimmer/commentator’s comments about Pan’s win

You guys are disgusting. Attacking a 19 yo. Innocent until proven guilty. He had the drive to win bc everyone was ignoring him. Why is no one talking about leon marchand doping huh? 2 Olympic records in 1 night i believe. I'm sure he wasn't around when all that doping was going on in the Chinese team. Sore losers. I hope he reigns supreme in this event for years. Talk about Chalmers looking like he's on steroids. Why is no one talking about david popovic doping? He's also 19 yo. Just stop. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Leave him alone.

Pan deserved those medals-no one questioned swimmers from other countries that finished with large leads. He swims differently-low down in the water, barely coming out of the water when he breathes-also a perfect body type for freestyle. Get over it losers! He earned those wins! Congratulations Pan!

Respect to Pan !! Why cant people just accept that this guy is a sensational swimmer? Starting with Kyle..🤷‍♂️

Pan is true champion both in the pool and in his interview. Pan,please treat those losers as low class , lacking in sporting spirit and urchins. Hold your head high and prove your worth and win more gold medals ❤❤❤❤

This is the best report I have seen!!! I have always been a big admirer and this just makes me admire you further! Thank you for standing up for fairness.

This is such a great breakdown of Pan Zhanle's record breaking performance and his history as an athlete. Australian swimming coach, Brett Hawke should be ashamed of himself. It shows what a terrible coach he is, if he believes Pan's record breaking swim was ..."not humanly possible.." Chalmers should fire him, because Hawke sets a low bar for his swimming students. Brett Hawke's comments are 1000% racist, because he never would have uttered those words if it was an Australian or American or Canadian swimmer breaking that exact same record in the men's 100m freestyle. Thank you for showing respect for ALL athletes. Much respect to you.👍👍❤

Cleaner than the US purple face team

Congratulations Pan. You are a star, keep setting world records and give the finger to the knockers. Best wishes for the future - an admirer from "down under".

As a Chinese from Singapore - bravo and congratulations to Pan for his awesome achievement ! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Sportsmanship & character is also important as an athlete !

I really appreciate this analysis, purely from professional angle, as an athlete, no politic no bullshit no sour loser crying. Big respect! Congrats on Pan again! This kid is gonna reach even higher sky.

Haha, Pan Zhanle broke the defense of the purple domineering cyborg in the United States🤣

Chinese people are discriminated against around the world, and you can thank Western governments, their propaganda media, and their society for perpetuating these prejudices. People are not born racist; they are taught to be that way through systemic biases and negative portrayals. It is disheartening to see that even in events meant to celebrate unity and excellence, such as the Olympic Games, Chinese athletes face mistreatment. The Olympics should be a platform where the best athletes from around the world come together in the spirit of fair competition and mutual respect. Instead, witnessing multiple instances of unfair treatment towards Chinese athletes highlights a broader issue of racism and discrimination that needs to be addressed. It is an absolute shame that these athletes, who have worked tirelessly to represent their country, are not given the respect they deserve.

He deserved all the accolades. He's truly amazing at 19, through his dedication, hard work and sacrifices.

He took many doping test during Olympics, all negative. On the other hand, Americans are trying to avoid doping test, one swimmer took zero doping test.

Pan Zhanle clean. Purple team not clean.

As a Chinese I’m watching your video with tear in my eyes. the racism, bias and prejudice against Chinese are really heartbreaking, especially when English is the most common language in western media, and we chinese sometimes feel really disadvantageous to express our opinions and state the facts. thanks for speaking up and thanks for the support 😢

There is another 1st ever world record on the extremely high racist-based number of tests on Chinese swimmers but tested all negative, this is called disgusting!!!!!

True, as Pan said that the world record holder was his idol, but they completely ignored him, extremely unsportsmanlike.

The US swimming team is going to be called Team Thanos，because their faces are all purple😆Great.！There's one more purple person in the world！

I watched your video after pan achieved another gold medal with his team from 4 x 100 meters relay. This time it only took him 45.92 seconds to cover 100 meters although it is not officially recognized. But he has proven that he can be faster than the world record some jealous people didn’t believe or doubt. Thanks a lot for your excellent analysis!

I could care less about Pan's ethnicity!! Just respect him as a human being and his amazing honest accomplishment!! Stop all this racism. It just makes you look like a sore loser and despicable. I think Pan's record is like Usain Bolt's record in 100 meters! No one is going to break it except Pan. Enough said! Congrats Pan. You are truly an extraordinary swimmer. Once in a century. You are the GOAT in 100 meters hands down and the fastest swimmer in the world. A lot of respect man!!

This RU-vidr has done an absolutely stunning job with his professionalism. He focuses on individual athletes, evaluating their performance regardless of race. Whether it's a Japanese or Mexican athlete breaking a record, he treats them all the same. He speaks the truth and is fair, doing justice to the sport, which is what we truly need in our society today, especially on social media. I have great respect for his hard work. Keep doing this and continue bringing good to this world!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Pan is the Usain Bolt of Swimming. A genius. He just did 45.9 in 4x100m medley and helped China got another gold. His technique is so superb that he swims more efficiently than anyone else. Some ppl just can’t get over it. My name is Pan too and he is from the same province as me, which has the best swimming training center in China, so proud of him.

A champion is a champion 🏆 Big congrats to Pan!!! Stop that jealousy and bitterness 🤤. As a westerner, im ashamed of how majority of our people criticize and react whenever someone proves to be better than us! - greetings from nyc 🇺🇸

As an America congratulations to Pan. 🇺🇸 🇨🇳 🤝

Congrats to Pan for an amazing swim. I am from the US and have been involved with swimming as a Head Admin. official for State Championship meets for the past 15+ years. Not every person or Westerner presumes dopping. I love to see records broken and excellence in competition regardless of who it is. It takes a lot of dedication, hard work and natural god given talent but this great race did not come out of no where. I am sure he perfectly tapered for this race and he pulled off the greatest race of his life at the right time. Props to him!

The kids a generational talent, people should enjoy it.

I think the most amazing thing is Pan did it in what is considered a slow pool and why no one is breaking records. Congrats to him.

19 yr old is a superstar! congrats Pan! folks needs to stop hating

Pan showed a 19 year old’s attitude by beating his competitors down when feeling unrespected😂. I bet he was angry when he swam. The amazing speed must come from his anger. Please respect teens!!!

Winners look for solutions, but losers look for excuses. Well done, Pan!🎉🎉🎉
