The second and third world records were broken at the end of Sunday’s Olympic swimming event at the Arena La Défense in Paris. Americans took care of both of those things. Bobby Finke won a point in the 1,500 freestyle and another in the women’s medley relay. Previously, Pan Zhanle set the only world record in the 50-meter swimming pool championship in the 100-meter freestyle competition. Four days later, on his 20th birthday, he completed the U.S. 4x100m individual medley championship with the Chinese team.
No one has won the 1500m twice at the Olympics since Australia’s Grant Hackett in 2000 and 2004. Funk has now managed to do just that. He beat the record set by China’s Sun Yang at the London Olympics 12 years ago by 0.35 seconds. Fink also won the 800m freestyle gold in Japan three years ago, where Daniel won the title. . Zhou Weifen. Ireland’s first Olympic swimming champion won the bronze medal over 1,500 meters in 14 minutes, 39 minutes and 63 seconds, while Italy’s Greogrio Paltrinieri won the silver medal in 14 minutes, 34 minutes and 55 seconds.
With Funk’s gold medal, the United States moved past Australia in the medal standings in the swimming events and impressively built an impressive lead heading into the final race of the championships. Regan Smith, Lilly King, Gretchen Walsh and Tori Husker’s time of 3 minutes, 49.63 minutes shaved 0.77 seconds off the previous world record, also set by Team USA at the Gwangju World Cup five years ago. This is Team USA’s eighth swimming gold medal, while Australia has won seven. The Australian women’s relay team won the bronze medal with a time of 3 minutes 53.11 seconds, 0.12 seconds ahead of China.
In the medley relay, the Austrian quartet of Bernhard Reitshammer, Valentin Bayer, Simon Bucher and Heiko Giegler Heiko Gigler finished 12th and the home fans hoped France would win again, which would give Leon Marchand his fifth championship gold. But the history of this race is written by China and Pan. He completed the final 100 meters in an incredible 45.92, meaning Team USA lost the event for the first time in Olympic history. The gold medal took 3:27.46 minutes, the United States won the silver in 3:28.01, and France won the bronze in 3:28.38.
Sweden’s Sarah Sjöström won the women’s 50m freestyle and 100m freestyle titles. Nearly 31-year-old phenomenon Sjöström clocked 23.71 seconds in the semi-finals in 23.66, just a tenth better than his own world record, four days after winning the 100m. , won the fast swimming doubles and the third gold medal. The 14-time world champion is safe and sound. Australian player Meg Harris was second, 0.26 seconds behind, and third-placed Chinese player Zhang Yufei was 0.49 seconds behind in the crawl sprint.
