China’s Pan Zhanle Accuses Australian And US Swimmers Of Unsportsmanlike Behaviour | Guardian Sport

China’s Pan Zhanle accused Australia’s Kyle Chalmers of snubbing him on the opening night of competition and American swimmer Jack Alexy of allegedly acting disrespectfully towards Chinese coaches during a training session. Zhanle made his comments in an interview with a Chinese broadcaster after the men’s 100m freestyle final in which he broke the world record. Chalmers labelled the allegation towards him ‘a bit weird’ and added: ‘We had a laugh together at warm-down last night – but no issues from my end.’
