After 16 days of fierce competition, the 2022 FINA World Championships came to an end in the early morning of July 4th, Beijing time. The Chinese delegation has achieved a lot at this World Championships, winning a total of 18 gold medals, tied for first place with the United States team in terms of the number of gold medals. Looking back at this World Championships, the Chinese delegation is still outstanding in its advantageous events, but at the same time there is still room for improvement in swimming events.
The biggest gold medal winner for the Chinese delegation at this World Championships is still diving. The diving dream team won 13 golds, 2 silvers and 2 bronzes in total for a total of 17 medals at this World Championships. In all 13 events, the Chinese diving team won all the gold medals. The younger generation in the team has grown rapidly, and they will take the lead in Paris two years later. This is something more gratifying than winning 13 gold medals.
In the synchronized swimming event, the Chinese delegation also performed well at this World Championships, winning a total of 4 gold medals and 2 bronze medals. The 25-year-old sisters Wang Liuyi and Wang Qianyi performed well. They both won gold medals in the double technical optional and double free optional events. In addition, the Chinese team also won the championship in the collective technical optional and collective free optional events.
Compared with diving and flower swimming events, the performance of the Chinese swimming team in this World Championships was somewhat unsatisfactory. In the swimming event of this World Championships, the Chinese team only won 1 gold and 4 bronze medals, ranking 10th in the swimming medal list. At present, there seems to be a talent gap in Chinese swimming, and it is difficult for outstanding talents to emerge. Compared with swimming powers such as the United States and Australia, the gap between the Chinese team and the Chinese team seems to be getting wider and wider. There are only two years left before the Paris Olympics, and we still need to continue to work hard and strive for breakthroughs in swimming events.
Throughout the 16-day event, the athletes of the Chinese delegation achieved a total of 18 golds, 2 silvers and 8 bronzes. The number of gold medals was tied with the United States for first place, and the number of medals ranked second. For the Chinese delegation, this was a successful event. A year later in Fukuoka, the new World Championships are just around the corner.
