The Chinese swimmers were weak from the beginning of the race. They didn’t expect to sprint in the last 50 meters and finally overtook the Chinese swimmers. Unfortunately, Japan also caught up with them. Although Wang Guanhong did not beat the Japanese swimmers in the end, he only won the silver medal. , but the first World Universiade won such a good result, and it was only 0.03 seconds away from the first place.

We look forward to our Butterfly King defeating himself once more and winning the ideal record in his heart.
