I really hope everyone takes the time to watch the full video before leaving a comment. Sport is incredible, so let’s show our respect for all the athletes competing!

Why are Chinese athletes being questioned when they swim so fast? Then why did no one dare to question Phelps when he won seven or eight gold medals?

[ShengrongRen]

1. Those who have been genuinely following swimming will know that Pan's performance has improved step by step, and he is the only person in the world who has swum under 47 seconds multiple times.
2022 Budapest: 47.65
2023 Fukuoka World Championship: 47.43
Asian Game: 46.97
2024 Doha World Championships: 46.80 WR
2024 Paris: 46.92 OR, 47.21, 46.40 New WR & OR
2. Some swimming enthusiasts on YouTube have conducted detailed analyses of Pan's swimming techniques through videos. His technique is almost perfect. These are the people who approach the sport from its essence and truly love it, no matter where they come from.
3. Pan Zhanle was not on the list of 23 Swimmers before 2021, as he was less than 17 years old at the time. Meanwhile, the Chinese team is the most tested at this Olympic Games.
4. For those who might only watch the Olympics once every four years, finding such a performance surprising and unacceptable, why? Because when an American or Australian breaks a world record, it's taken for granted. But if a Chinese or Asian does it, then in the eyes of those arrogant and racist people and their media with pea-sized brains, he is guilty, because how could a Chinese or Asian swim or run faster than us? They can only wear glasses and participate in math competitions like nerds.

Not only the US. Here in Germany lots of tv commentators talk shit about the Chinese athletes all the time like they are all doping. Very annoying and shameful

[harrywang]

I vividly remember when Michale Phelps took home half a dozen golds in 2008 Beijing, my cousin in China excitedly called him a “fish reincarnate”. China welcomed the results graciously; China media did not even attempt to appease to its people’s feelings by accusing him of doping, even though they have a unified state media to do so. U.S. media on the other hand has gotten so used to sucking up to their audience they are more than willing to twist stories around, especially at the expense of a remote country and its people who has no means of arguing for itself.
Decades of misinformation stirred and whirled into a self-feeding propaganda that demonizes and dehumanizes a just and sedulous people.
American politicians love to tell the people it is not their fault; what they fail to tell is that, globalization has long leveled the playing field for all. The same job an American worker loathes is the bread and butter of a Chinese family. They take the job not to jeopardize America, they do it because their survival depends on it; and contrary to popular belief, they do a good job, because if they didn’t their counterparts in Vietnam, Pakistan, India, will do for less.
So Americans, for your own good, stop blaming China for your laziness and incompetence; see them as human beings with every right to happiness and freedom as you, see their hard work not as depriving competition but whose accomplishments are at your disposal and help you combat inflation, see Chinese government as the quiet one the popular kids dislike, but has seldom bothered others, and see the changing world and change with it.

Dear pan
All I can say is congratulations, as a black African I know how you feel, these same nasty people treated us with contempt, like dirt and trash and are still doing was cheering for you all the way and I am happy that you won, keep on perfecting yourself, these people are born jealous and envious. There is no cure for such people.

[zhengyunli]

He also breaks the world record of testing numbers within a short period of time.

[wailunau]

US sports are famous on "purple face"

[svenelim]

As a Chinese ethnic I am glad to see young generation of Chinese who are confident, capable and outspoken. Our parents' and even majority of my generation tend to just quietly put up with unfair treatment. I hope these young folks will always keep their head up, stand tall and fight back. I wish them all the best.

[brandonso]

As an American I don't blindly support our teams. Character is what I respect and root for, and in these games, Pan had my complete support. Loved watching him perform and was pleasantly shocked by his amazing performances. Great job kid!

[FlubGeometryDash]

I appreciate that you're treating Pan Zhanle respectfully! I've seen a lot of popular swim coaches/personalities online being disrespectful and borderline racist. Thank you for being grounded and down to earth :)

[haosummer]

This reminds me of what happened in Ping Pong. A Swedish player came out of nowhere and won the silver. Chinese Ping Pong team has been so dominant and a non Chinese vs Chinese gold match is considered a big failure for the national team. Yet, Chines people loved him and he becomes really popular on Chinese social media and zero hate. Acknowledge talent when you see it & learn from the great.

[tinashi]

I read those Asian swimmers were tested 7 times per day by the Paris officials, and still they don’t believe him?

[louis]

As an American, I feel ashamed of the envy shown by athletes from Europe and the United States towards Pan's achievements and world records. Chinese athletes have undergone over 200 drug tests within 10 days, proving their success is not due to performance-enhancing drugs. Despite this, some people still question athletes from other countries, which is truly disgraceful.

[believein]

Imagine hating other people simply because they’re better than you.

[PrimoBradley]

really appreciate your speaking up against racism and bigotry

[simsima]

🇨🇵 ❤ 🇨🇳. Congratulations pan !!! It was an amazing performance. Don't listen to jealous people. You are a great athlete.

[MackyWang]

You are the first one I see on the foreign media who analyzes the game as an adult! Really appreciate it! Pan is great and he deserves the applause but not racism and jealous! Thank you!

[wil_wilqueen]

He turn his anger into power, he was treated disrespectful from Australia & US counterpart during pool training. Well done Pan !!!!

[atiraikarora]

Congrats Pan you deserve the Gold 🏅 medal 👏👏
