On August 9, 2016 (July 7, 2016 lunar calendar), Sun Yang added gold to the Chinese swimming team at the Rio Olympics. Sun Yang added gold to the Chinese swimming team at the Rio Olympics. The first gold medal of the Chinese swimming team has finally arrived. On the morning of August 9, 2016 Beijing time, in the 200-meter freestyle final of the Rio Olympic Games swimming event, Sun Yang first hit the wall and won the championship with a good time of 1:44.65. After losing gold in the 400-meter freestyle, China Swimming will win the first gold medal of this event, which is also the sixth medal won by Sun Yang personally in two Olympic Games. Two days ago, Sun Yang, the defending champion, was runner-up in his most confident men's 400m freestyle event, losing by 0.13 seconds to Australian rookie Mike Horton. Since the 2012 London Olympics, Sun Yang has maintained the dominance of the 400m freestyle without losing. Now this narrow defeat has undoubtedly made Sun Yang feel disappointed, and the "war of words" with Horton after the competition has made Sun Yang's subsequent 200m freestyle performance much attention. Four years ago in the London Olympics, Sun Yang tied with Park Taihuan to win the silver medal in the men's 200m freestyle. But unlike London, the 200m freestyle is not Sun Yang's absolute strength during the Rio Olympic cycle - at the Incheon Asian Games, the Chinese swimmer lost to Japanese star Kosuke Hagino, and at the Kazan World Championships last year, he lost to British player Guy. However, Sun Yang has achieved a good result in the world this year at the US Grand Prix and still has a chance to win gold. Sun Yang adds gold to the Chinese swimming team at the Rio Olympics. In the 200m freestyle semi-final held on August 8, Beijing time, Sun Yang swam a good time of 1:44.63, and successfully advanced to the final with the first place in the semi-finals. He was also the only player in the semi-finals to swim in 1:45. Japanese star Kosuke Hagino ranked second in the group with 1:45.45, and British player Guy ranked second in the other group with 1:46.23 - both will be Sun Yang's main competitors in the final, which is full of experts. In the final, Sun Yang placed in the fourth lane, and next to him in the fifth lane was Japanese star Hagino Kosuke, American Connor Dyer in the third lane, and British star Guy in the eighth lane. It is worth noting that in the previous 400-meter freestyle final, Sun Yang's starting speed was the slowest of all competitors, which to some extent lost his advantage. In the 200-meter freestyle event, the requirements for the starting speed and sprinting ability of the players will be higher. As a result, in the final on August 9, Sun Yang's starting speed improved, maintaining his own pace throughout the process, slightly lagging behind his opponent, and exerting his advantage in the final sprint stage, finally reaching the finish line first and winning the championship of the event. Next, Sun Yang will compete in the 1500-meter freestyle at the Rio Olympics. As the champion of the event at the London Olympics, Sun Yang spent more time in the short-distance event than the long-distance event during the Rio Olympic cycle. As a result, the advantage of the 1500-meter freestyle was eroded, and it was relatively difficult for Rio to defend its title. In addition, in the 1500-meter freestyle preliminaries held on August 13, Beijing time, Sun Yang and Horton were both divided into the fifth group, and the tit-for-tat two people will compete fiercely, which may stimulate Sun Yang's momentum. Sun Yang was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province on December 1, 1991 in the men's 200-meter freestyle. He won two gold medals in the men's 400-meter freestyle and 1500-meter freestyle at the 2012 London Olympics. He was the first gold medalist in the Chinese men's swimming Olympics. He won another gold in the men's 200-meter freestyle at the Rio Olympics and made history.
