Day 4 of the 15th National Games in Shenzhen saw six swimming golds awarded, and the spotlight was on 18-year-old Zhang Zhanshuo from Shandong. He crushed the men's 1500m freestyle in 14:52.73. 🏊♂️✨
Zhang's race was a showdown: starting in lane 4, he traded strokes with Zhejiang's Fei Liwei (lane 5) through the first 1000 meters. In the final stretch, Zhang unleashed a powerful surge to touch the wall first. Fei took silver, while Shaanxi's Li Chengyu claimed bronze. 🎖️
This victory means Zhang has now swept all individual freestyle distances—200m, 400m, 800m, and 1500m—making him the swimmer to watch at these Games. 🌊🏆
Shenzhen's aquatic center has been buzzing all week, and with performances like this, the excitement is only growing. Stay tuned for more poolside thrills! 🌟
