In the semifinals of the men's 200-meter breaststroke at the Paris Olympics that ended in the early morning of July 31, Beijing time, the world record holder and highly anticipated Chinese player Qin Haiyang unfortunately ranked 10th and missed the final. In this Olympic Games, as the favorite to win the championship, he has already broken the 100-meter and 200-meter breaststroke.

After the game, Qin Haiyang also responded to the reason for his poor performance in an interview. Qin Haiyang said frankly: "The results of this Olympic Games are within my expectations, and I am not in very good physical condition at the moment, I still think too much, and I have not yet found a way to relieve pressure and release myself.”

Qin Haiyang also revealed that he didn't sleep well after the 100-meter breaststroke competition, and only slept for 4 or 5 hours at night, and he didn't sleep during the day: "I can't sleep after lying down, I also tell myself to put it down, everyone will say it, but from the perspective of athletes, it is not easy to really do it." He said that whether it is the 100-meter breaststroke or the 200-meter breaststroke, he has no problem with his technique, but his mentality has affected the performance of his skills. I also feel like I have a chance to win gold in these two events, but the bigger the chance, the more pressure there is. ”

In the previous 100m breaststroke final, Qin Haiyang's performance was a big surprise, and he failed to win the gold medal as expected, but only ranked 7th in the final. After 2 days of adjustment, Qin Haiyang's state does not seem to have changed significantly. After risking to advance to the semi-finals, he once performed strongly in the first three 50 meters, but like in the 100-meter breaststroke final, Qin Haiyang quickly lost speed in the last 50 meters, and finally only ranked 5th in the group and 10th overall, unfortunately missing the final.

After Qin Haiyang's continued slump, this has to make people worry about the prospect of the men's medley relay and the men's and women's medley relay for gold. Previously, Qin Haiyang, as the main force of the Chinese relay team, was the best swimmer in the breaststroke, but because of his poor state, it may be difficult to expect the performance of the Chinese relay team in this Olympic Games.
