In September 2000, he joined the Beijing team, with Chen as the coach. In 2002, he was selected for the national team, and the coach was Chen. In 2003 10 World Swimming Championships, the men's 800-meter freestyle ranked eighth. In 2005, Zhang Lin won three championships in the swimming competition of the 10th National Games in People's Republic of China (PRC), including men's 200m freestyle, men's 400m freestyle and men's1500m freestyle. At the end of 2007, I went to Australia for a three-month training. I studied under Dennis, the coach of the famous Hackett in Australia. Because of the obvious training effect, I went to Australia again in May 2008 and came back in mid-July. In the 2009 World Swimming Championships in Rome, Zhang Lin won the championship with 7 minutes and 32 seconds 12, which improved the world record by more than 6 seconds. [Editor's note] Zhang Lin, from Beijing, China, became famous at a young age. /kloc-selected for China national team at the age of 0/5. In the 2003 World Swimming Championships, Zhang Lin, who was only 16, won the eighth place in the men's 800m freestyle, showing good potential and talent.
Subsequently, the results climbed steadily, and in 2005, the men's 200m and1500m freestyle gold medals were won in the East Asian Games. However, since 2006, Park Tae hwan, a famous South Korean, has fallen behind Park Tae hwan in the Doha Asian Games and won three silver medals in the 200m, 400m and1500m freestyle. Park Tae hwan's achievements are due to his training in Australia. Compared with Park Tae hwan, Zhang Lin's water sense and skills are not bad, but the gap comes from the backwardness of training methods, and there is a certain gap between its physical quality and strength with world-class players.
At the end of 2007, Zhang Lin went to Australia to receive special training from Dennis kotler, the famous coach who trained Olympic gold medalist Hackett. After only three months' training, he clocked 3 minutes and 45.04 seconds in the upper reaches of China Swimming Open, which was more than one second higher than his best result, which fully showed that the advanced training method had a remarkable effect.
In the 2008 National Swimming Championships, Zhang Lin improved the 400-meter freestyle performance to 3: 44.97, and entered the world advanced level. In May of that year, Zhang Lin went to Australia for training again. More than two months of special training greatly improved his ability.

This is also the first time that a male athlete from China has won a medal in the Olympic swimming competition.
Australian star Hackett, Russian player Prilukov and American player Peter Van der Kaye were all defeated by Zhang Lin. Although Park Tae hwan, a Korean genius, was not surpassed in the sprint stage, Zhang Lin's precious silver medal still created the history of the men's swimming Olympic Games in China.
Zhang Lin not only broke the Asian record in the 400-meter freestyle preliminaries, but also beat South Korean prodigy Park Tae hwan and Australian star Hackett in the preliminaries. In the final, Zhang Lin jumped to the second place with excellent sprint, and successfully locked in the silver medal of the project.
