Because of the participation of Sun Yang, Xu Jiayu, Fu, Li, Ning Zetao and other star athletes, swimming has become one of the most concerned events in this National Games. Online tickets for swimming competitions were announced to be sold out several weeks before the competition.
In the competition, the appearance of star athletes can often be cheered by the audience at the maximum decibel volume, and the fans cheer in various ways, which impressed Schubert, the former head coach of the American swimming team. "I have been to China many times, but it is the first time to watch the National Games. In my opinion, the swimming competition in the National Games is very good, just like the Olympic Games. Not only is it large in scale and large in number, but all teams are also very involved. "
Sun Yang won the gold medal in the 400-meter freestyle on the first day and won the100th gold medal in his sports career. After that, he made several podium appearances with foreign teacher Dennis and China coach Zheng. Accept cheers and share the joy of victory with champion disciple * * *. Dennis was surprised by the unprecedented experience of receiving the prize. "What a good idea! As far as I know, no country has done this: it is affirmation and respect for the coach to let the athletes and the coach receive the prize together. Countries should also learn from China in the future! "
Brown said: "I have never been on the podium since I became a coach." It feels very wonderful. I didn't expect to win a gold medal at the National Games in China. "
The orderly organization and management of the event and the relay race made Schubert sigh: "The relay race made me excited. There is no relay race in our Olympic trials in the United States, and the organization of the event is so perfect and smooth that it is shocking. "
At this National Games, Sun Yang has won 4 gold medals and/kloc-0 silver medals in 3 individual events and 2 relay races, which is almost invincible. Schubert was full of praise for Sun Yang's performance: "Sun Yang is absolutely a genius! Great genius! "
In the men's 4× 100 meter freestyle relay, although only the runner-up was achieved, Sun Yang swam the fastest time of 48 seconds in the third bar that night, which made many people look forward to Sun Yang's future performance in short-distance freestyle. "Sun Yang's freestyle technique has absolutely no problem in the distance of 100m. As long as the technical details of starting and turning are strengthened, he will also have very good results in the 100m freestyle in the future, "Schubert said.
Dennis and Sun Yang worked together for eight years. Although each training lasts for 6-8 weeks, and they train two or three times a year, they know enough about Sun Yang. He believes: "Sun Yang has very strong training ability and strong competition psychology, and has always maintained the champion mentality of pursuing transcendence. Now he is the captain of the national swimming team, and his responsibility is even greater. Some people say that he will go downhill when he is 26. I don't think so. For Sun Yang, age is not a problem. He has room for improvement in all aspects. As long as you train properly and control your injuries, and to be honest, Sun Yang didn't take part in enough games in the past. Maybe he can participate in more competitions and train with competitions, and he will continue to improve. "
Sun Yang's popularity in China also surprised Dennis: "I know he is a star, but I am surprised that so many people watch his game. This is the star effect that can drive more people to swim. "
Ning Zetao, who didn't resume systematic training until May this year, performed well in the 100 meter freestyle competition, becoming the only swimmer among the eight finalists to swim to the 48-second mark, and he won the 50m freestyle championship again.
In the lecture for national coaches, Brown introduced his training concept in detail, and took Ning Zetao's training plan as an example, especially expounded the importance of pre-competition training adjustment and psychological counseling. "Before the National Games, Ning Zetao was under great pressure and anxious, because she only resumed training for about 17 weeks. His state has not returned to the best, but it is remarkable that he can finally show such achievements and technical level. Ning Zetao is a very talented player. The question he faces is not whether to participate in the Tokyo Olympic Games. The key is whether he is willing to insist on swimming. "
Compared with Dennis and Brown leading the team directly, Schubert kept commenting on the athletes' performance with his notebook and appearance list every day. In his view, Li, a teenager of 15 years old, Xu Jiayu, the new world champion of backstroke, Zhu and Ye are all "gifted", and China's swimming future is immeasurable.
"Xu Jiayu has 15m underwater legs every time he turns around, which is very shocking. His starting and turning skills are excellent, and his underwater butterfly legs are also beautiful! I am impressed with him! " Schubert said.
Schubert also spoke highly of 15-year-old Li, who broke the Asian records of women's 400m freestyle and1500m freestyle. "Li is undoubtedly the hope of China's swimming future. I don't know when she can beat Ledecki, but she has a strong heart and a promising future. "
Ye, who wanted to win and was afraid of losing, finally found himself at the National Games behind the London Olympic Games. She also said that she would try several strokes in the 200-meter race next year. Schubert, who is very fond of Ye Shiwen, said: "I have seen Ye Shiwen's training. I am diligent and talented. Don't forget that she is only 2 1 year-old, and she is already a gold medal grand slam winner in the world series. Maybe it will surprise her to change the project. "
