Before this World Championships, Chinese athletes had never won a championship in the men's breaststroke event. Qin Haiyang's "debut" made up for the shortcomings of Chinese men's breaststroke. Since the start of this World Championships, Qin Haiyang has been in excellent condition and has won a total of 4 gold medals:

On the 24th, in the men's 100m breaststroke final, he won the gold medal with a time of 57.69 seconds and broke the Asian record.

On the 26th, he won the gold medal in the men's 50m breaststroke final with a time of 26.29 seconds.

On the 26th, after the men's 50m breaststroke final, Qin Haiyang teamed up perfectly with his teammates to win the men's 4x100m medley relay championship.

On the 28th, in the men's 200m breaststroke final, Qin Haiyang won the championship again with a time of 2:05.48, breaking the world record. Compared to the absolute advantage of men's 50m and 100m, Qin Haiyang does not have dominant strength in the men's 200m breaststroke event. Australian athlete Cook ranks first in the semi-finals, who is also the world record holder in this event. But Qin Haiyang showed his best in the final and ultimately won the championship.

After winning the gold medal in the men's 100m breaststroke, Qin Haiyang said in an interview, "This gold medal is just the beginning. I will set a world record as my goal, and I also want to win all three gold medals in breaststroke." Now that all the goals set by Qin Haiyang at this tournament have been achieved, he will move towards a bigger goal: to become an Olympic champion.

From a potential player to becoming the world's "frog king", why did Qin Haiyang make a remarkable breakthrough this time? Looking back at Qin Haiyang's career, perhaps we can find the answer.

He started learning swimming at the age of 5 and was sent to Shanghai for training by his parents at the age of 9. Due to his young age, he was not suitable for professional training. Qin Haiyang had made several moves in and out of the team, but in the end, he persisted.

With his own efforts and guidance from his coach, Qin Haiyang began to emerge. In 2017, at the 13th National Games, Qin Haiyang won the men's 200m breaststroke championship and broke the national record. At that time, he had his own ambition: "I want to bring a breakthrough to the Chinese men's breaststroke."

However, after that, Qin Haiyang experienced several years of career lows. His performance has never made a big breakthrough and he has repeatedly failed in the competition. He said, "I have been training very seriously, but there has always been no progress."

In 2021, he participated in the men's 200 meter breaststroke preliminaries for the first time at the Olympics and was disqualified for a foul.

After experiencing confusion and self doubt, Qin Haiyang decided to actively seek change. In 2022, he joined Coach Cui Denrong's team and began to slowly explore new training methods.

"The previous training was not as detailed, such as core training before diving, control of small muscle groups, and exercise of large muscle groups. I didn't know much about these before, but now they are all trained separately." In an interview with the media, Qin Haiyang talked about the changes in training.

Last winter training, Qin Haiyang focused on strengthening his basic strength, widened his body dimensions by one circle, and achieved a squat weight of 200 kilograms, which also provided a foundation for his breakthrough in performance.

In the 2023 National Spring Swimming Championships, Qin Haiyang won three championships in the men's 200m breaststroke, 100m breaststroke, and 50m breaststroke, and broke the Asian record for men's 50m breaststroke with a time of 26.20 seconds.

In the upcoming National Swimming Championships, he once again won the men's 200m and 100m breaststroke championships, and broke the Asian record for men's 100m breaststroke.

Outside the competition, Qin Haiyang is a 2019 undergraduate student from the School of Economics and Management at Tongji University. Not long ago, he received a postgraduate admission notice and was admitted by the Physical Education Department of Tongji University. In the athlete list announced at the Chengdu Universiade, Qin Haiyang is also on the list. He will participate in the men's 50m, 100m, and 200m breaststroke competitions at the Universiade.

Nowadays, Qin Haiyang will undoubtedly become the pursuit target of various strong players in the breaststroke project. Regarding the pressure brought by winning a gold medal, he said, "After winning a gold medal, it's there to hang it, rather than constantly wearing it on oneself. I won't let it become pressure. Every competition is a brand new challenge, because competitive competition is like that, and others are constantly striving and improving."

According to statistics, Tan Haiyang's daily milk intake is about 800 ml, while other athletes are basically only 400 ml to 500 ml.

"Milk is an ideal source of dietary calcium. The athlete's body has sufficient calcium reserves, which not only helps to maintain the strength of the bone, but also helps to strengthen the conduction function of the nervous system, making him more agile during the game, so his habit is very good." In addition, Yu Liang revealed that elite athletes, including Qin Haiyang, have to supplement sugar and protein within 30 minutes after each high-intensity training, which can make his muscles recover faster.

In order to better prepare the athletes for a competition and have an excellent performance in the competition, the Chinese swimming team is equipped with professional nutritionists to escort them.

Between 40 and 60 minutes before a game, athletes eat a carbohydrate-rich food or drink. Supplemental recovery is also required between each shot match. For example, Qin Haiyang will eat some bananas and sports drinks 40 minutes before or during the competition.

Within 30 minutes after the game, athletes should supplement 20 to 40 grams of carbohydrates and 20 to 30 grams of protein as soon as possible, in order to promote physical recovery. This can be achieved with sports drinks and protein powder, fruit, honey, cakes. It is also very important for athletes to maintain a good state of hydration during the game. After the game, 300 ml to 500 ml of water will be added to replenish the lost body fluids.

The athlete's post-match meal is also very particular. On the evening of the 28th, after Qin Haiyang won the gold medal, he had a long urine test and returned to the station in the middle of the night. At this time, Yu Liang had already made a post-match meal for him from the canteen-the principle was "high carbohydrate, low fat, and moderate protein". Qin Haiyang's post-match meal has three staple foods, white rice with curry, buckwheat noodles and broad-style steamed dumplings and other foods containing complex carbohydrates, plus salmon, beef, fish, ham and protein-rich foods, as well as vegetable salads and fruits, as well as apple juice, pure milk and so on.
