In the Shaanxi National Games swimming venue on the evening of September 21, Zhejiang swimmers continued to be the focus of the audience. In the men’s 200m freestyle final, Zhejiang star Wang Shun won the championship with 1:46.14 and won his fourth gold in the National Games. This is Wang Shun’s 13th National Games gold medal, and he has also become the swimmer with the most gold medals in the National Games.

Under the leadership of Wang Shun, the Zhejiang Swimming Army made persistent efforts in other events that night. Xu Jiayu won the men’s 100m backstroke final with a time of 53.26. Another Zhejiang player Li Guangyuan won the silver medal with 54.36. In the women’s 100m backstroke final, Zhejiang’s Fu Yuanhui won a bronze medal in 59.81 seconds.

In the men’s 200m freestyle final that night, the lineup was very special. Except for Ji Xinjie from Shandong, the remaining 7 players were all from Zhejiang. Such “one dozen seven” scenes are rare in swimming competitions. What is even more commendable is that among these 7 Zhejiang players, 5 of them are all under 18 years old.

In the end, Ji Xinjie failed to complete the feat of “one-on-seven”, and won the silver medal in the project after being subjugated to Wangshun, and Zhejiang teenager Hong Jinquan won the bronze medal.

After the game, Wang Shun, who set a new personal record for the National Games, did not forget to praise his teammates, “Everyone has seen that there are 7 Zhejiang players in the finals. This shows that our usual training intensity is relatively solid. We compare in team projects. Competitive.” Speaking of his thirteenth National Games gold medal, Wang Shun said that this is not his limit. “I hope there will be fourteenth and fifteenth.”

As the national record and Asian record holder in the men’s 100-meter backstroke, Xu Jiayu admitted after the game that his goal is not to win the National Games, but to relieve the fatigue of consecutive battles. “Because I was preparing for the National Games not long after the Tokyo Olympics, my body was still recovering, so I didn’t try my best in the last 50 meters today. I have been trying to break my record since 2019, so my body load It is very big. During the National Games, I will improve my results without increasing my load as much as possible. In addition, next year will be the Hangzhou Asian Games. I am also very looking forward to the game at my doorstep.”

If there is gain, there will naturally be regrets. Although he failed to achieve his three consecutive national championships in the National Games, Fu Yuanhui’s three appearances at the National Games in this National Games, two of the results were within 1 point, which was only a month of systematic training before the game. For her, it has been very difficult. After the game, Fu Yuanhui said, “I have never thought of winning three consecutive championships. I am very lucky and satisfied. I hope that on this Mid-Autumn Festival night, my bronze medal can bring some comfort to the seriously ill coach.” Interview During the period, Fu Yuanhui turned around twice to wipe her tears, and finally she also expressed her wish: “Next year, I hope I can still appear at the Asian Games in my hometown.”
