The Americans terribly annoyed the Chinese before the race in the final of the 100-meter freestyle event. Jack Alexy was accused of having offensive behavior towards Zhanle Pan: “They looked down on us, but we beat them all”
The Chinese claimed that the American athlete splashed water on the Chinese coaches while doing a turn, but also felt an arrogant attitude from the US opponents.
“And while we were training, Jack Alexy splashed our trainers on the side of the pool with water while doing a turn. I felt like we were being watched from above, can I say that? And today, I finally beat them all,” said Chinese athlete Pan Zhanle, according to the report Daily Mail.
