Convinced? The Australian star returned to China and praised Pan Zhanle: he can only drink his footwashing water! It's never been so embarrassing

On August 15, Beijing time, Australia swimmer Chalmers returned to China for an interview, and he talked about the previous Olympic 100m freestyle final. Not surprisingly, the Aussie spoke about Poon Chin Lok again. This time, though, Chalmers seems to have been convinced by Pan Zhanle.

Chalmers first reflected on the thrilling 100m freestyle final and was amazed by the speed of his swim: "I had a perfect lane for me to see Pan Zhanle and Popovich. But I only saw Pan Zhanle's feet after changing my breath, I was really shocked, I have never lost to any opponent in my career, I am really embarrassed! ”

Then the Australian star said in a mocking tone: "I thought to myself that it was over, I was going to be at the bottom, and it must be last." I didn't expect to swim to the finish line and see that I was still a silver medalist, and I was shocked.

As for Pan Zhanle's results, Chalmers is also convinced: "For me, if he swam 47.2 seconds to win the gold medal, that is, my personal best time to win the gold medal, I would be very disappointed, but he swam 46.4 seconds, I know I can't swim 46.39 seconds, so for me to win the silver medal, it is a win." ”

In the men's 100m freestyle final of the Paris Olympics, Pan Zhanle won the gold medal with a world record time of 46.40 seconds. As the gold medalist of the Rio Olympics and the silver medalist of the Tokyo Olympics, Chalmers played well in the final, but he was still crushed by Pan Zhanle.

It is worth noting that after the game, Chalmers was also "sued" by Pan Zhanle, saying that he looked down on Chinese swimmers in the preliminaries. As a result, Chalmers was once besieged by Chinese netizens on social media for a time.

However, Pan Zhanle also confirmed that there was a certain misunderstanding of Chalmers, and in the men's mixed relay final after that, Chalmers had taken the initiative to greet Pan Zhanle and also exchanged swimming caps. Obviously, after many direct conversations in this Olympic Games, Chalmers has been convinced of Pan Zhanle's strength.
