On August 6, Beijing time, the swimming events of the Paris Olympics have all ended, and Pan Zhanle's outstanding performance continues to cause heated discussions. Former world champion and Australia swimmer James Magnussen spoke about Pan Zhanle on the podcast. He praised Pan Zhanle's performance, admitting that the youngster shocked him, and he didn't expect to see someone swim more than 45 seconds in his lifetime.

At the Paris Olympics, the Chinese swimming team ended with 2 golds, 3 silvers and 7 bronzes, winning a total of 12 medals, the best medal in history. Among them, Pan Zhanle won the 100-meter freestyle championship and swam 46.40 seconds, while in the 4x100 medley relay, Pan Zhanle swam 45.92 seconds in sections, becoming the first athlete to swim 46 seconds in the 100-meter swim.

Magnussen, who won gold in the 100m freestyle and relay at the World Championships, spoke about Poon a podcast. "I've been swimming 47 seconds for my whole career, and every athlete of my time, it's our goal," Magnussen said, "I didn't expect to see a swimmer swim over 45 seconds in my lifetime!" 45 seconds! For most ordinary people, that's only enough to swim 50 meters, but he can swim up to 100 meters. He didn't slow down, he maintained that pace throughout the 100 meters. ”

"He [Poon] is a phenomenal figure at the Olympics and he is a world benchmark for sprint swimming now and for the next four years. What he did was insane. ”

After 9 days of high-intensity Olympic journey, I finally got off work, and I was very satisfied with the results of 2 golds and 1 silver! A new journey has begun, the goal has been silently set, I hope I can make greater contributions to the team, the Chinese swimming team will always be the best! ”
