At the Gwangju Swimming World Championships in South Korea, Fu Yuanhui missed the 100m backstroke and the 50m backstroke final, causing heated discussion. The netizen questioned her influence on the results of the game because of the participation of TV shows. She was blamed by the people that she did not train hard but go to make money on TV shows, and that is why she could not enter the finals.
For criticizing, Fu Yuanhui responded that indeed she did not perform well in the competition but has already done her best, frankly, she still affected by the injury and has been relying on painkillers. In fact, earlier news said, Fu Yuanhui had physical discomfort. She has posted on Weibo: "It is impossible to win the World Championships, love of swimming cannot beat the reality." This was suspected to retreat because of a waist injury, but soon she deleted this Weibo. After that, she was able to take part in the competition with injury but it was inevitable that the game would be affected. Many people accused her of delaying the training because of the TV show. However, the TV program she participated in at the beginning of the year was recorded at the end of last year. In March of this year, she also won two national championships. Moreover, being able to participate in variety shows is an opportunity for Fu Yuanhui to promote the positive image of athletes, and she was approved to join in her spare time. She is able to represent the country in the World Championships shows that her capability has been recognized. It can be seen that the ups and downs of the grade is a very normal thing, and it does not have much matter with TV shows. *Image is from the internet.
