Just one day later, there was more good news coming from Huaxia.
In the men's 400 meter freestyle event, Link beat the United States team's Hansen, South Africa's Vanderberg, Australia's Sprungel, and other famous swimmers, with an astonishing time of 3 minutes 28.16 seconds, once again breaking the world record for the event.
On the fifth day of the competition, Link had already won five gold medals, broken four world records, and qualified for the finals in all five remaining events.
After the news spread, the American media rushed to cover it, all expressing amazement at Link's achievements at the World Swimming Championships, praising him as the 'Sea King,' 'Torpedo,' and 'Nuclear Submarine.'
This also led to many media outlets, which had been criticizing Link just a day before, saying he bullied Taylor and was a total jerk, to change their tune and start praising him as the strongest and most outstanding man in the world.
