## Caption

Olympic swimming champion Pan Zhanle made a world record-breaking 100m freestyle swim at the Paris Olympics on Wednesday. ⁠
⁠
Pan, 19, finished in 46.40 seconds, beating his own previous world record by 0.40 seconds and securing China's first swimming gold medal at the Games.⁠
⁠
However, criticisms arose questioning the legitimacy of Pan's win due to a past doping scandal involving 23 Chinese swimmers in 2021 despite being cleared by the World Anti-Doping Agency.⁠
⁠
The state-run Global Times, among other Chinese media outlets, has fiercely defended Pan, noting, "The Chinese swimming team underwent more tests in two weeks than foreign athletes did in an entire year." ⁠
