The best result is that Paris can win the championship! Pan Zhanle is suspected of letting water out of 200 meters, and he sacrificed too much for the collective

Pan Zhanle ranked 22nd in the men's 200m freestyle preliminary round in the 2025 Singapore World Championships, 1 minute, 47 seconds, and 46. It is a pity to go the first round. This result is not surprising, because the 2024 World Swimming Championships and the Paris Olympics are both this script, and he has strategically let it go. It was only this time that Pan Zhanle proposed to increase aerobic training before the competition, hoping to improve his performance in 200 meters, which made everyone look forward to his performance in the side event.

When he first debuted, he focused on long distances. Pan Zhanle's journey was very wide, ranging from 50 meters to 800 meters, so 200 meters of distance was no obstacle for him. You should know that Pan Zhanle's best career score was 1 minute 44 seconds 65 in the Paris Olympics, which is enough to win the gold medal! American media also said that if Pan Zhanle was an American player, he might have been the king of gold.

However, Pan Zhanle's performance in the 200m has been relatively poor, ranking 10th in 1 minute 46 seconds 05 in the 2023 World Championships, passing by the finals. The 200-meter Pan Zhanle, who was at its peak in 2024, was even worse. He ranked 38th in the World Championships at 1 minute 51 seconds 03, and ranked 22nd in the Paris Olympics at 1 minute 49 seconds 47. This time, the 2025 World Championships continued its decline and ranked 22nd in the Paris Olympics. There is no problem with the special ability of

, but long-term use of 200 as a sub-item, sometimes it cannot find the rhythm. Pan Zhanle told reporters: "If I accelerate the third 50 meters, the last 50 meters may not be able to withstand it. But if I sprint wildly in the last 50 meters, I will fall too much behind the first 150 meters, which is easy to eat waves and it will be difficult to overtake." It can be seen that Pan Zhanle wanted to seek a breakthrough in the 200 meters, but I can't help it.

Pan Zhanle's World Championships is too heavy. As the 100-meter freestyle Olympics, World Championships, and World Record Grand Slam, this gold medal cannot be lost, so as to avoid Western media making trouble and confusing the public. The Chinese swimming team must allow Pan Zhanle to participate in at least four relays, men's 4 by 100m freestyle relay, men's 4 by 100m medley relay, men's 4 by 200m freestyle relay, men's 4 by 100m freestyle relay, men's 4 by 100m freestyle relay, men's 4 by 100m freestyle relay. Even some relay preliminaries have to be played.

Pan Zhanle is also a flesh-and-blood body, and does not have the inexhaustible physical fitness like the American "Purple Potato Face". Whether to put the World Championships 200 meters may not be decided at the last moment. People insiders speculated that Pan Zhanle just wanted to find the rhythm and used 80% of his strength to advance better. If he couldn't forget it, he couldn't consume too much for this event with little chance of winning. After all, the Olympic champion of Romania's Popovich is in full swing.

On one hand, it is a relay that concerns the overall national honor, and on the other hand, it is a single event that determines the status of the individual world. It is difficult for Pan Zhanle to make a decision. I hope that the Chinese swimming team's lineup will become stronger and stronger, so as to completely liberate Pan Zhanle, let him play two relay events less, so that he will not even play in the preliminary round.
