Social evaluation

Wang Shun will become another gold medal winner after Sun Yang in the future world competitions, especially in the medley. (Comment by Chen Yunpeng, former head coach of the Chinese swimming team)

“Wang Shun is indeed a talented kid. His characteristic is that the four swimming styles are relatively balanced, and the freestyle is more prominent. Now the 200m freestyle is 44.14 seconds. My idea is that in the 2016 Olympics, in addition to the main medley, the 200m freestyle can also create a miracle. (Comment by coach Zhu Zhigen)

Social evaluation

What makes Wang Chang enviable is that he did not waste any of his God-given talent, but converted all of his talent into dazzling achievements early on.

In less than a year, he and his partner Liang Weiqing rose straight up, from outside the top 400 in men’s doubles points to the world’s second, drawing an exciting future for himself and the Chinese men’s doubles.

He is another court brain of the national badminton team after Cai Yun. After Cai Yun retired, people rarely see such a flamboyant, aggressive, meticulous and clever player. The badminton world needs such an unusual person. (Comment by ELLEMEN Rui Shi)
