Exciting dramas are always inseparable from various emergencies. Park Tae-hwan, a famous South Korean player, won the first place in the group in 3 minutes, 46 seconds and 68 in the morning preliminaries, but he was later sentenced to a foul. According to the video replayed at the scene, Park Tae-hwan's feet shook when he started, and his results were eventually cancelled.

However, FINA subsequently reviewed the fact that Park Tae-hwan committed a foul and decided to reinstate his qualifications, which also made the showdown that night even more dramatic.

The competition started at 19:51 local time. Sun Yang, who was in the fourth lane, continued his good form in the morning, but he kept using follow-up tactics until the last 300 meters before accelerating to overtake. He defeated the previous leader Park Tae-hwan in one fell swoop to win the gold medal and broke the Olympic record.

Sun Yang was very excited after winning the championship. He told a reporter from China News Service, "I listened to many reports from Koreans today, and I have been feeling depressed. Now it is finally out."

"Actually, Park Tae-hwan's 'resurrection' has no impact on me. Only in the same match can I reflect my existence." Sun Yang said, "I am very excited now because my parents raised me, and the gold medal is the best reward for them."

Previous He once "promised" not to cry when he won the championship, but Sun Yang still burst into tears when being interviewed. "I don't know why there are so many tears. Maybe it's because practicing has been too difficult these years."

Sun Yang said, "Today this gold medal is given to many opponents. I want to prove to them that I defeated all Koreans."
