In the early morning of July 28th, Beijing time, in the women's 100-meter butterfly final of the Paris Olympic Games, Chinese athlete Zhang Yufei won a valuable bronze medal. After the game, Zhang Yufei's eyes were a little wet and red. She admitted that she was under a lot of pressure. On the way back from the awards ceremony, Zhang Yufei was even more sad and shed tears.
Zhang Yufei said in an interview after the game: "My original tactic before the game was to keep up with the world record holder Walsh in the first 50 meters, and then hit the top in the next 50 meters. I feel that the first 50 meters are about the same."
When she learned that her first 50 meters time was 25.42 seconds, Zhang Yufei said in disbelief: "So fast! Then I was going to suffocate. In the next 50 meters, I had never encountered such a hard situation. I felt that they They are still a great opponent. I didn’t adjust well this time. I hope I can be in better condition to compete with them in the next world competition. I still feel that I will not lose to the world in the 100-meter butterfly. Record holder."
Regarding the pressure issue in this Olympics, Zhang Yufei said: "The mentality and pressure adjustment before the game are not very good. They are all things I need to learn. These experiences are not only in swimming, but also in life. Practical. This Olympics may be more stressful than I thought."
Regarding this butterfly swimming competition, Zhang Yufei said bluntly: "I have always hoped to have a world record of my own, a world championship in the 100-meter butterfly. So after setting this goal, I have been obsessed with this point. I can't let go and let go of this goal, so I have to learn and adjust. On the contrary, after this shot is over, my pressure seems to be gone. The results are acceptable, just like the last Tokyo Olympics. I was ranked first if I swam well, but I was ranked fourth if I swam poorly."
After the awards were over, Zhang Yufei was also a little confused, and she was having a hard time with the two American athletes. When accepting the celebration from the outside world, Zhang Yufei's eyes became red again and finally shed tears. But we have to say, Zhang Yufei, don’t cry, you are already great!
