Pan Zhanle of China
breaks own world record to win Olympic gold medal in men’s 100-meter freestyle
（文章来源：AP News）
Pan Zhanle of China broke his own world record on the way to winning the men’s 100-meter
freestyle Wednesday night, finishing in 46.40 seconds for his country’s first swimming gold medal of the
Paris Olympics.
That mark topped his 46.80 swum at the February world championships in Doha.
“It was a magical moment, really magical,” Pan said. “The record was not just for the Chinese
team, but for the world. This is a small step by breaking this record.”
In perhaps the most ferocious race in swimming, the 19-year-old Pan edged Kyle Chalmers of
Australia, who clocked a 47.48 for silver and Romanian bronze medalist David Popovici in 47.49.
No world marks had been broken through the first four days in the pool at the Paris Games.
Chalmers won gold in the 100 free in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, and was the silver medalist
three years ago in Tokyo behind American Caeleb Dressel. Dressel did not qualify this time.
Pan has not been implicated in any of the doping allegations that have surrounded the Chinese
swimming team in the run-up to the Olympics.
Chinese swimmers in Paris have pushed back strongly against those accusations and say they have
been tested more frequently in recent months, sometimes three or four times a week.
Pan was asked about the testing and said it all seemed routine to him.
“This was standard,” he said. “The tests were done under all the regulations. I don’t think it
influenced my performance.”
WADA, the World Anti-Doping Agency, put out a statement on Tuesday in response to food
contamination scenarios being used to clear athletes who test positive.
“WADA is generally concerned about the number of cases that are being closed without sanction
when it is not possible to challenge the contamination theory,” the statement said.
“There have been many cases of positive tests that were eventually closed without sanction as no-
fault violations, sometimes with unusual methods of contamination.” WADA said it was also concerned
about similar cases in the United States.

潘展乐破纪录夺得巴黎奥运会男子100 米自由泳金牌
周三晚上，中国选手潘展乐在赢得男子100 米自由泳冠军的道路上打破了自己的世界纪录，以46.40
秒的成绩为中国赢得了巴黎奥运会的首枚游泳金牌。
这一成绩在2 月份多哈世界锦标赛上超过了他的46.80 米。
潘说：“这是一个神奇的时刻，真的很神奇。”。“这项纪录不仅是中国队的，也是全世界的。这是
打破这项纪录的一小步。”
在也许是最激烈的游泳比赛中，19 岁的潘击败了澳大利亚的凯尔·查尔莫斯，后者以47.48 的成绩获得
银牌，罗马尼亚铜牌得主大卫·波波维奇以47.49 的成绩获得铜牌。
巴黎奥运会游泳池的前四天没有打破世界纪录。
查尔莫斯在2016 年里约热内卢奥运会上获得了100 米自由泳金牌，三年前在东京奥运会上，他在美国
选手凯勒布·德雷塞尔之后获得银牌。德雷塞尔这次没有晋级。
潘与奥运会前夕围绕中国游泳队的任何兴奋剂指控无关。
在巴黎的中国游泳运动员强烈反对这些指控，并表示近几个月来他们接受了更频繁的检测，有时每周
检测三到四次。
潘被问及测试情况，他说这一切对他来说似乎都是例行公事。
“这是标准的，”他说。“测试是按照所有规定进行的。我认为这不会影响我的表现。”
世界反兴奋剂机构WADA 周二发表声明，回应用于清除检测呈阳性的运动员的食品污染情况。
声明称：“世界反兴奋剂机构普遍担心，在无法质疑污染理论的情况下，有多少案件在没有制裁的情
况下被结案。”。
世界反兴奋剂机构表示，它也对美国的类似案件表示担忧。
