Rules of World Swimming Competition Changed by him--Mu Xiangxiong/世界游泳比赛规则因他而改变——穆祥雄

Today's era is an era of national sports. Sports spirit is infecting and changing everyone who loves sports. As we all know, sports can be divided into anaerobic exercise and aerobic exercise.

Whether aerobic exercise or anaerobic exercise, there are many sports. The common sports in aerobic exercise are running, rope skipping, swimming and so on. Any one of these aerobic sports can become competitive sports, while swimming is a very special competitive sports.

Swimming originated near water and became a sport in its later development. Swimming can increase its cardiopulmonary function and exercise its muscles. It is also a good way to lose weight.

But the splendor of swimming is reflected by the way of competition. In 1896, swimming became one of the events of the International Olympic Games. At that time, the rules of competition were relatively simple. The swimming distance was 50 meters, 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters, 1500 meters and 10000 meters.

Such distance is also the standard distance in the current international swimming competitions. Athletes need to reach the final point within the prescribed distance. The first one to reach is the champion, and so on. At that time, there were not many rules about swimming posture.

China was very backward in sports in the early days, but there were a group of very patriotic people who hoped to win glory for their country in the international arena through their own efforts, among them Mu Xiangxiong.

For Mu Xiangxiong, it can be said that he was a legend in the swimming world. Mu Xiangxiong was born in Tianmu village on the Bank of Tianjin River. All the people here are good swimmers. Among them, Mu Xiangxiong is very good at breaststroke and is known as the "Frog King" of China.

Mu Xiangxiong often wins championships in international competitions and breaks world records because of his astonishing vital capacity. In a swimming contest, Mu Xiangxiong swam 50 meters in a single breath by diving until the end of the swimming race came out of the water, directly shaking off a large part of other competitors.

This performance directly shocked the whole swimming world. Maybe the FINA refused to accept Mu Xiangxiong's action. In 1956, it directly stipulated that no swimming was allowed in formal competitions, otherwise it would be a foul. The rules of the World Swimming Competition have been completely changed by this master swimmer. This is the only person who can change the rules of the World Swimming Competition.

Although the change of competition rules is very unfavorable to Mu Xiangxiong, in the latter part of the competition, Mu Xiangxiong still broke the world record three times in a row. Let the people of the world see that the Chinese are not the sick man of East Asia, and the Chinese are also very powerful.

Mu Xiangxiong is a milestone in the development of Chinese sports and plays a very important role. Now he has two white temples. But he also witnessed the development of Chinese sports.

Love life, love sports.

现如今的时代是一个全民运动的时代，体育精神感染着，改变着每一位热爱运动的人。众所周知，体育运动有着无氧运动和有氧运动之分。

无论是有氧运动还是无氧运动都有着非常多的运动项目，在有氧运动中常见的运动项目有跑步，跳绳，游泳等。其中任何一项有氧运动都可以成为竞技类运动，而游泳运动则是非常特别的竞技运动。

游泳运动起源于靠近水域的地方，在后期的发展中成为一项体育运动，游泳运动可以增加自身的心肺功能，锻炼身体肌肉，在减肥方面也是很不错的。

但是游泳运动的精彩之处是通过竞技的方式所体现的，1896年，游泳运动成为了国际奥运会的比赛项目之一。当时的比赛方式比赛规则比较简单，游泳距离为50米、100米、200米、400米、800米、1500米、10000米。

这样的比赛距离也是目前国际游泳比赛的标准距离，运动员需要在规定的距离内达到终点，最先到达的为冠军，然后以此类推。当时在游泳姿势方面并没有做出太多的规定。

中国早期在体育运动方面是属于非常落后的，但是却有着一批非常爱国的人希望通过自己的努力在国际赛场上为国争光，其中穆祥雄就是这样一个人。

对于穆祥雄，在游泳界可以说是一个传奇，穆祥雄出生于天津河畔的天穆村。这里的人个个都是游泳健将，其中穆祥雄非常擅长蛙泳，被誉为中国的“蛙王”。

穆祥雄因为有着惊人的肺活量，所以常常在国际赛场上夺得冠军，并且经常打破世界纪录。在一次游泳比赛中，穆祥雄通过潜泳一口气游了50米，直到终点才露出水面，直接甩其他选手一大截。

这一表现直接震惊整个游泳界，可能国际泳联不服穆祥雄这一举动，1956年直接规定正式比赛中不准使用潜泳，否则属于犯规。世界游泳比赛规则因为这个游泳健将而彻底改变，这是唯一能让世界游泳比赛规则改变的人。

比赛规则的改变虽然对穆祥雄很不利，但是在后期的比赛中，穆祥雄依然连续三次打破世界纪录。让世界人民看到了中国人不是东亚病夫，中国人也是很强大的。

穆祥雄是中国体育运动发展的里程碑，有着非常重要的作用，如今的他已经两鬓斑白。但是他也见证了中国体育运动的发展历程。

热爱生活，热爱体育运动。
