Like you said, it will get tougher for him with younger and stronger swimmers emerging. But I To keep his mental strength going after he has won the gold medal may be a challenge. One of my uncles was an Olympian of another country and he said the toughest for him was to keep his mind on a target he had already achieved and to better his own timing. So he has great respect for those who could win gold medal/break record one after another.

Would have thought he could give Chen Long, who is 32 a good fight and tired him out completely. Edited July 29, 2021 by Starry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weez911 Supersonic July 29, 2021 Share July 29, 2021 I wish him well but I doubt he can win another Olympic medal at 30. This is not about training harder. 100m butterfly is a brute force event that requires perfect technique and a great stamina. WR for this event will get lower and I doubt he can even beat his PB at that age. Look at this heats, the best swimmers are all within his 2016 OR and they are not even at Semi yet. The WR will be broken at this rate. It is a big ask for a 30-year-old to beat his own record set when he was 22. Also, he doesn't have the height of his competitors and those tallest swimmers have very big hands to help them propel. He won 2016 by his sheer power. I do hope I'm wrong though and wish he wins another one for Singapore. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not like between 45 and 50 where most pple can feel a difference in fitness level. I feel that end of the day, it is their mindset that makes the difference. How badly they want to win it and what sacrifices they are willing to do in order to keep staying on top. Edited July 29, 2021 by Starry 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised to see CL's uncertain wobbly footings in most part of the 2nd set yet he won the last 2 vital points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
