Le Chinois Jincheng Guo est devenu pour la première fois champion paralympique du 50 m nage libre (S5), jeudi 5 septembre aux Jeux Paralympiques de Paris 2024 grâce à une course époustouflante.

A torpedo impression that cuts through the water of the Paris La Défense Arena. On Thursday, during the 50m freestyle final, China's Jincheng Guo impressed everyone with an exceptional race.

Only thanks to the strength of his legs, the 23-year-old Chinese set a new world record at his first Paralympic Games (29''33), beating his own record set at the World Championships in 2023 (29''78).

A single breath

Like able-bodied swimmers, the Olympic champion only needed one breath during his race, which he competed without goggles and with just a swimsuit.

Add a magnificent flow and a frequency of breathtaking legs before hitting the stopwatch plate with his skull and you get a third Paralympic title in Paris.

Since Jincheng Guo, has already been crowned on the 4x50m freestyle and medley relay as well as silver medalist on the 100m freestyle and the 50m backstroke.
