Chapter 368: Carlyle's Strength

Carlyle led from the start to the finish and was hugely separated from second place, around 12 seconds ahead.

In addition to being a fast swimmer, Carlyle's turning skills are also very good, similar to those of ordinary professional athletes.

The Seagull had a total of 3 turns, and each time Carlyle had a huge advantage, and the accumulation of 3 advantages combined with his excellent swimming speed made Carlyle a big difference between Carlyle and the others.

Xu Qing couldn't look at Carlyle's pride, and asked about the games of the other groups, and the other groups had already finished the first three rounds, and there were still two rounds left.

The result made Xu Qing depressed, and the best result was about 5 seconds behind Carlyle.

Carlyle walked over triumphantly and showed off his results.

Xu Qing couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Don't get complacent too early, Carlyle, there are people with similar grades as you." ”

"Who's getting better grades than me? I don't believe there's no one on this ship who can swim better than me. Carlyle didn't believe it at all.

"You can't believe it or not, he'll surprise you in the final anyway. Xu Qing waved his hand.

Carlyle left arrogantly, he just didn't believe that anyone had better grades than him.

Sophia laughed and said, "Why are you lying to Carlyle? ”

Xu Qing also smiled: "It's just a bickering, Carlyle also knows that I'm lying to him." ”

Carlyle had been with him for a few years, and the two knew each other well, and it was almost impossible for both sides to lie to each other.

It's like he said to Sophia, it's just a bickering, nothing else.

Tonight's swimming competition is not to win Carlyle, but to make a name for the cruise ship's fun.

At the end of the preliminaries, no one in Carlyle's group could get close to Carlyle's results, and the smallest gap between the other groups and Carlyle was about 3 seconds.

Three seconds in the 100m swim is not a small difference, and it looks like Carlyle is going to take first place tonight.

Xu Qing was not very reconciled, why no one surpassed Carlyle.

Carlyle obviously knew the results of the other groups, and walked over again, showing off: "Xu, I'm number one." ”

Oh you ghost, Xu Qing ignored Carlyle and came to the Seagull's only 50-meter swimming pool, where the final will be held.

Xu Qing gave the finalists half an hour to rest, and they were all resting by the pool at this time.

They were surrounded by a large crowd of people, who were their leaders and comrades.

In a sense, the finalists represent the image of the company or department they work in.

Because when they play later, the host will introduce their names, companies, departments, and positions.

This is a small means for Xu Qing to introduce their information, one is to better stimulate their enthusiasm for the competition, and the other is to allow other people who have not entered the finals or participated in the competition to better interact.

After all, everyone who makes it to the finals has people from the same company or even the same department on the cruise, and of course these people will support the people who make it to the finals, so they interact.

Xu Qing also held a simple appearance ceremony, and every player who appeared was cheered by the onlookers.

The first player to come out didn't expect the cheers to be so loud that he was taken aback and almost slipped on the edge of the pool.

The cheers turned into laughter, and the first contestant was embarrassed.

Xu Qing felt a pain in the face for this player, and he should be affected in the game later.

The players who appeared later obviously knew that the first player was embarrassed, and when they heard the cheers, their faces were indifferent, and they waved like onlookers, like real swimming stars.

Carlyle was the last to appear, his results are known to everyone, and his identity as Xu Qing's bodyguard is also well known.

So when the host introduced Carlyle, the cheers were the loudest, because the space where the pool was located was relatively small, and the cheers of hundreds of people were particularly loud, and Carlyle seemed to be a superstar.

Carlyle is crazy, so many people cheered for him, he waved his hand proudly, and Xu Qing was very unhappy with that kind of energy.

"Boom!" Xu Qing snorted.

Sophia looked at Xu Qing amusedly beside her, and Xu Qing touched her head with a smile.

All the finalists are out on the pitch and then they have a minute to prepare, and they are moving their hands and feet, or touching the water in the pool with their bodies, in the same way that the professional athletes do.

These people who can enter the finals have the best swimming ability among ordinary people, and they should be regular swimmers, and the preparation movements they do are also very natural and smooth, and they are not deliberately imitating professional athletes.

A minute later, the bout began, with Carlyle leading the way in perfect positioning and the others close behind.

In the first 30 meters, Carlyle has been in the lead, but the situation has changed abruptly, and the young man who was 3 seconds behind Carlyle in the preliminaries suddenly made a force and quickly caught up with Carlyle, and the gap between the two sides was only half a body.

Is this guy hiding his strength? Xu Qing looked at the guy who suddenly exerted his strength.

Carlyle turned his head to see that someone was going to catch up with him, and he could bear it, and his legs were like small electric motors, waving quickly.

That person was not to be outdone, his hands and feet were waving very fast, and the gap between the two sides was still half a body.

Interestingly, Carlyle exerted his strength, but he hadn't even opened the distance.

However, depending on how the turn is, the reason why Carlyle was able to lead so much in the preliminaries is that the turning skills are a lot higher than the others.

At 50 meters, Carlyle turned around and quickly completed the turn with the turning technique of ordinary professional swimmers.

Xu Qing had been paying attention to the young man, he followed Carlyle closely, and the speed of the turn was also very fast, but Xu Qing could still see that he was a little worse than Carlyle, causing him to turn around and be one position behind Carlyle.

As soon as the young man turned, his hands and feet were swinging more frequently and forcefully than before, and he began to close the distance between him and Carlyle again.

At 70 meters, only half a body away from Carlyle, at this time Carlyle was fully exerted, and the small motor advanced abruptly with all his strength, and the speed increased by one stop.

The young man also exerted his strength, maintaining half the position with Carlyle.

Xu Qingyou praised the young man, there is a high probability that he will lose to Carlyle in tonight's swimming competition, but his strength is still great.

The young man wasn't as big as Carlyle, and his turning skills were a little worse, but he was only half a position behind.

If the two sides had kept that gap to finish the game, the youngster would have ended up with Carlyle about half a second behind him.

Compared with the preliminaries, the difference of 3 seconds, and the final half a second difference is a very good result, which should be the most powerful swimmer among ordinary people.

The race was coming to an end, and the cheers of the onlookers resounded through the cruise ship.

If the previous cheers were a bit for Xu Qing to see, then now they are cheering completely from the heart.

Sports can always inspire the most sincere cheers, and a recreational swimming competition is also a sport, and there are two competitors who are comparable to ordinary professional athletes.

This sparked their cheers.
