- Swimming has always been considered a strong event for China to win gold in the Olympics. However, as of Wednesday, July 31st, China has won 2 silver and 2 bronze medals in swimming at the Paris Olympics, which is a notable decline compared to their record of 3 gold, 2 silver, and 1 bronze at the Tokyo Olympics.
The performance of the Chinese swimming team has sparked discussions on Chinese social media. Former renowned diver Gao Min posted on Weibo on Monday, the 29th, stating, "Yesterday Zhang Yufei came third, Qin Haiyang seventh, especially Qin Haiyang's performance, which is the worst in the past two years of competitions. There must have been issues with the athletes' pre-competition training. I personally believe that the seven daily doping tests successfully disrupted our Chinese swimming team."
Why is the Chinese team under such close scrutiny from the International Anti-Doping Agency?
