Xinhua News Agency, Qingdao, March 28 (Reporter Wu Shuguang, Zhou Xin) after winning the third gold medal in the National Swimming Championship on the 28th, the Olympic bronze medalist Fu Yuanhui said frankly that he had got rid of the trough last year, and aimed at the personal journey of the fourth world championship, “the biggest competition this year is the Guangzhou World Championship. I want to leave the best state to the world championship, and I don’t want to say who to beat, it is more important to defeat yourself”.
After the Rio Olympics, Fu Yuanhui was in a low state. She lost 0.01 seconds in the 50-meter backstroke of the 2017 World Championships, and the Jakarta Asian Games in 2018 was also in no state. The 50-meter backstroke ranked second, the 100-meter backstroke ranks fourth only.
In this year’s National Swimming Championship, Fu Yuan huimu has won three gold medals. Everything shows that she is rebounding at a low ebb. She said to this: “Because there are no special adjustments to the game, the overall state is not able to swim out of their own level, but I feel that I have got rid of all the negative and low state last year, going in a good direction.”
The 100-meter backstroke won the championship in 59 seconds 84, which was more than 1 second slower than her national record. When talking about the gap in performance, Fu Yuanhui thinks that there are many reasons, but he believes that “through training, it will definitely improve”.
“This competition is to try in advance, try different training States, and see what kind of results will swim, but I didn’t expect it to be so bad, because the training was better before.” Fu Yuanhui said confidently, “I believe I have a higher level now, but I haven’t played it yet.”
Because she had paid attention to weight gain before, Fu Yuanhui was more confident although she weighed more than ten jin. However, she also said, “it is not good to be too fat, and it will be lower before the World Championship, because I am a relatively light athlete, although I have good physical fitness, my physical burden will still be particularly heavy”.
Since joining the Barcelona world championships in 2013, Fu Yuanhui is about to welcome his fourth world championship tour. Fu Yuanhui said: “I have improved from myself. I don’t want to say that I want to defeat a certain opponent. I think it is more important to defeat myself. Now it’s too early to say what you expect from your grades. Just do it now.”
For the next arrangement, Fu Yuanhui said that to cooperate well with the coach, all aspects should be improved, from departure to tour, and finally to side turn, but compared with the previous improvements, therefore, it is better to know how to improve next.
