Pan Zhanle s condition has recovered, but the relay was suppressed by Chalmos, and he is far from finding the peak feeling

Men's 100m freestyle Olympics, World Championships, and World Record Grand Slam superstar Pan Zhanle failed to turn the tide with the last bat of the men's 4-by-100m freestyle relay in the 2025 Singapore World Championships. The Chinese team has a clear gap with Australia, Italy and the United States, and finally won fifth place. Pan Zhanle's score of 46.63 seconds, and his condition has improved compared to this year's National Championship, but it is not enough to help him win the gold medal in the World Championships steadily.

After the Paris Olympics, Pan Zhanle fell into a worry of happiness. There were too many interferences from the outside world. Sponsors, crazy fans, and leaders at all levels would enter his life. During the World Championships preparation for closed training, he was even forced to fly from Beijing to Zhejiang to participate in a basketball event. It is not difficult to guess that this is what the local leaders mean. Pan Zhanle was in modest form during the new Olympic cycle, with a best score of 47 seconds and a world ranking fell out of the top ten.

Pan Zhanle participated in this World Championships as the men's 4-by-100-meter freestyle relay. Although Pan Zhanle is very good at it, the first three balls are far behind Europe and the United States, and the Chinese team is simply unable to compete for medals. Pan Zhanle's last shot was 46 seconds 63, which should be converted into a normal result, which should be about 47 seconds 03. Because the second, third and fourth relays take advantage of the normal game reaction time, it saves about 0.4 seconds. Of course, this is just a range and cannot be accurate.

Australia's last bat was Olympic runner-up Chalmos. He swam for 46.53 seconds and made great contributions to Australia's championship. At least from the relay state, Chalmos is better than Pan Zhanle. Considering that Romanian star Popovich, who swam 46 seconds and 71 seconds this year, the 100-meter freestyle flying fish battle at the World Championships will be full of suspense, and Pan Zhanle, Popovich, Chalmos and even the United States' Alexey have the chance. Pan Zhanle can no longer have the absolute dominance of last year's Olympics.

Last year's Olympic Games, the men's 4-by-100-meter medley relay, Pan Zhanle's last bat reached a terrifying 45.92 seconds; Pan Zhanle also scored 46.92 seconds in the men's 4-by-100-meter freestyle relay. Compared with the invincible god-level performance last year, Pan Zhan is now happy. Pan Zhanle in Paris is an unattainable god of freestyle, while Pan Zhanle in Singapore is a top expert who may be overturned.

There is another unfavorable factor. Pan Zhanle is a technical genius and is more likely to eat waves. Relatively speaking, he is not as good as the Brutalist players at cutting waves. Pan Zhanle swam desperately from the beginning to get the tour, avoiding eating waves, but now everyone knows that the best way to defeat Pan Zhanle is to seize the start and take the initiative to "create waves". A powerful beast like Chalmos and Alexey may use this method to restrain Pan Zhanle.
