Chang Yufei stole my heart in Tokyo 2020. She was always smiley and down to earth and she still is. What is more, she is incredibly fast in the pool oh my goodness.😂
I believe this is the first time China wins this event. A breakthrough on the stranglehold of Australia and USA. There are great improvements in men's backstroke and breastroke.
I think they had the WR before broken by GBR. And they are always ready to upset the favorites if those favorites underperform. At Tokyo Olympic, GBR still had Adam Peaty who contributed much to the team that enabled them to win the gold.
Xu Jiayu is two times world champion (2017 and 2019) and silver medalist at Rio 2016 Olympic in 100m backstroke. So, no surprise with his performance. Qin Haiyang is the one that has massive progress in breaststroke.
So nice to see Chinese athletes so open happy and full of lively energy and confidence. So different from Chinese athletes from earlier years where they didn’t know how to say anything or express themselves openly and never smiled. I love how Chinese athletes are now so successful and so free and open too. Zhong guo wan sui!!!!
They were so cute trying to answer in English at the end. Thank you for showing how shy and down to earth they were even they were world class powerhouse athletes. ❤❤ love them 🎉🎉 and congrats!!
The eighth qualified time for the 200m butterfly final is 2:07.72. The top 3 qualifiers all swam under 2:7.00. Zhang’s best time this year is 2:07.99. I believe she made the right choice!
@@chiensg Yeah, with your kind of wisdom, Zhang should also give up 100m butterfly face to the Tokyo Olympic gold title holder, Maggie MacNeil, right? By the way, do you notice there is a timetable conflict which needs Zhang's choice instead of your sournois statement?
@5:52 ... The announcer is so rude!... Let Xu Jiayu finish speaking! What's wrong with letting him speak in his native language? You may not understand Mandarin but many people in the audience and around the world do!
Apparently in the USA they are displaying the total of medals won by the USA because Australia is kicking their arses by winning gold over them. Keep in mind Australia has a population of 25 million and we have won 10 gold over the USA with 3 gold. Funny.
