The eighth final heat of the closing day of the 16th FINA World Championships has come to a close just a few minutes ago in Kazan. The world's top eight swimming teams fought for medals in the women's 4x100m medley relay.
The Chinese swimmers were unbeatable in the race, finishing the distance first with a time of 3:54.41. They were followed across the finish line by Sweden's team that showed the second best time, 3:55.24. The Aussies settled for bronze, stopping the watch at 3:55.56. The teams of Great Britain and Japan were disqualified upon completion of the race.

A little disappointed about Sun's quit, I hope he can recover soon. He is still the greatest swimmer from Asia in my view.

The last gold medal we got from women's medley relay was exciting. Kudos to Chinese girls!

Yea i must say chinese women are really tough/competitive internationally.i watched the race, it was quite interesing.

I was shocked to see sun yang withdrew due to injury. Great sportsman/swimmer.

Some observations on this FINA 2015:

1. Three days after Ning Zetao's 100m freestyle final, there is NO youtube clip (Eng) on that. Amazing! This tells how fucked up the organisations of FINA and Russian Kazan are. Men's 100m freestyle is one of the crown jewels of swimming. It's like after 3 days of Olympics athlectics of 100m or 200m sprinting, no youtube clips on any. Something is very wrong here.

2. I watched the Chinese CCTV version on the 100m final on youtube. The Chinese presenters are complete nutters compared to their British counterparts. It tells the story why UK, on per cap basis, is such a strong swimming superpower while China is like from kindergarden.

The UK presenters, even though not my likings, are darn pros! Both Adlington and Foster were former Olympics medalists. By watching them, at least novices of general populace who had no idea on swimming know what the professional swimming is generally about. It's very informative packed with professional interviews and on-site reviews of what each of main swimmers did wrongly or rightly in the competition, where and how to improve, etc.

In comparison, the Chinese presenters of CCTV4, gosh, they were not presenting but resorting to purely hyteria and downright sexual harrassment, not a word on swimming, just went sth like "hurry up, hurry up, swim faster! faster! oh yay, we won/ or we lost...", and "gosh! this swimmer looks so sexy and look at his biceps... blah blah". No wonder China's swimming has such a long way to go compared to World's greats, the Chinese TV professional presenters are just a bunch of disgraceful retards.

Well, its a well known fact that Chinese journalists are very amateurish, same with their media. They really lack a touch of professionalism we see here in the west/U.S guess its due to the decades of soviet style method of journslism, something even modern day Russia has rejected for a more western style way of reporting, reason RT is even popular today.
Still a very long way to go for the chinese in this field, but think they might learn with tine.

darn it! I turned off the TV after knowing that Sun yang was absent hence no more medal hopes. So I've missed women's medley relay completely! :hitwall; gonna hit BBC iplayer soon...

 

[opruh]

China won 10 medals in diving. Only 4 in swimming.

Still some way to go.

Also, US didn't field its full field, because US Nationals are coming up soon.

5 in the swimming for China, 8 for the US.

What does commentators have to do with the athletes?

 

[Speeder 2]

What does commentators have to do with the athletes?

the low level of professional swimming channel commentors has shown:

1. the national average swimming education level in China is very low, because the commentators are broadcasting to the masses. IF the masses on average knew a lot about the professional swimming, the rubbish presenters would have been booed out of their stage long ago, or they themselves would have felt too embarassed to speak pure rubbish in such a way.

2. China ( it's official CCTV channel) doesn't care about the general knowledge and interests of the masses towards professional swimming, but only cares about the medal counts.

3. China depends heavily on several natural talents like Sun Yang and Ning for medals. So sometimes got more medals due to the luck of having 1 more talent. People will thus never be sure which year China is good and which is not unlike swimming superpower countries such as Australia, UK or US, where people know in general that the country's swimming records will almost always be good. It is because these countries depend much more on the general high national level of swimming - high level professional TV channel is a n important educational mean to deepen their people's understanding on the sport and to stimulate their personal interets to practise it. That's why a tiny country like Australia got more swimming gold medals than China. Why China must send their top swimmers to Australia to train? What Australia has that China does not have? It's the environment of such a high swimming culture and exptises accumulated through many related means that make the differences. Australian swimming TV presentors, like the ones in UK or US or Russia or Nederthlands, mainly talk about how many seconds the main competitors have at the moments, which parts during the swim they're good and why, where went wrong where went right, how do those compared to other guys, etc when commentating. they will NEVER talk like CCTV presentors. Thee Chinese CCTV sport presentors talk about "Jia You!! Jia You, Ning!Jia You, Sun yang! ! C'mon Ning! C'mon Sun Yang. You are a good son of your mother land ! swim faster! swim faster!, the final 5 metres to go, faster faster! you almost there...blah blah," , as if Sun and Ning could hear what these bonker presentors yelling about at that moment. Any 6-year-old kid can have a job yelling like these CCTV's s professional sports presentors. I can do that for gods'sake. my grandma can even do better, and yelling "Jia You! Jia You!" louder and faster than these TV presentors do. i know shit about professional swimming btw. But can i have a job in CCTV now?

See the differences?

4. hence it shows China's national strategy on swimming is quite wrong for one reason or another. So it's NOT about individuals firstly like China does, but all about increasing the level of the masses of the country. When the masses are very educated on professional swimming and they practise a lot themselves, then one has a much larger pool to choose top talents from.

Therefore, through the tree (low level of sports presentors) , one can tell how's the forest look like. So you will NEVER encounter such a low level of sports TV presentors in ANY of sporting country, no matter how small the country is.

 

[opruh]

China I believed won 6 silver medals in synchronized swimming, Imagine if they managed to convert half of it into gold

Also, China women's team in water polo finished fourth, I'm definitely hoping for a podium finish this coming olympics.

On the contrary, the female commentator is a swimmer who won gold medal in Olympics.

 

[Speeder 2]

On the contrary, the female commentator is a swimmer who won gold medal in Olympics.

then she knows jack shit about how to educate TV viewers with her professional knowhow, and teach them how to watch swimming competitions like a pro. All I could hear she talked about at the broaodcasting, together with a guy, was "Jia You!! Jia You! faster ! faster ! Good, NING, you're a good soidier of PLA, you almost reached the final line..." - who the heck didn't know that? anyone with eyes and IQ>70 know what's going on. My grandma could yell those better than she did.

the best way to know how is to watch CCTV and BBC 2, on any swimming event, one can right away tell the presenting differences btw them is like day and night.
