Chapter 978: 3:40.08

If Sun Yan retires, then judging from the current situation in the Zhenguo swimming world, it is very likely that there will be no successor.

Because, judging from the members of the Zhenguo national swimming team, there is no second swimmer who can dominate the swimming world like Sun Yan, and no one can win so many honors for Zhenguo and in the international swimming world, which is the situation that everyone is most worried about.

Because of this, everyone is very worried that after Sun Yan retires, there will be no one to take over in Zhenguo Swimming, and no one can achieve his results.

However, Su Rui's birth made everyone worry a lot less, thinking that there is a successor in the Zhenguo swimming world.

And now, his victory, even with a better result than Sun Yan, proves that he can not only become a strong new generation in the national swimming world, but also hope to achieve even higher than Sun Yan's achievements.

Su Rui's victory showed a signal to everyone, that is, he is not worse than Sun Yan, and can even be better than Sun Yan, so there is no need to worry that the national swimming world will be unpopular, and the new generation of athletes can still make good results and compete for honor for the country.

Therefore, his victory was more than Sun Yan's, which made the Zhenguo audience even happier.

Mainly because Su Rui's victory represents the new hope of Zhenguo swimming, and Sun Yan's victory is only one more gold medal, but it does not have much help for the future development of Zhenguo swimming, and even more importantly, there will be no excellent successor in Zhenguo swimming in the future.

After Su Rui won the championship strongly, most of everyone's previous worries disappeared.

Because, he can have better results than Sun Yan and win the championship of the men's swimming 400-meter freestyle final, which means that he has the opportunity to become a new generation of leaders in the national swimming world, which represents a kind of hope, but also everyone's hope, with him, the situation that everyone is worried about will not happen, this is a significant competition.

Even if the men's swimming 400-meter freestyle is not Sun Yan's best competition, Su Rui can win the championship, but it is only a win, and it is not Sun Yan's best swimming event, which does not mean that he is more powerful than Sun Yan now, but at least it shows a kind of hope and a good start.

The most important thing is that Su Rui is still very young, he is a few years younger than Sun Yan, and he has only been exposed to swimming for a short time, but he has already achieved this level, so if he continues to maintain it, it will not be a problem at all for him to replace Sun Yan.

In a sense, his development potential is higher than that of Sun Yan, and according to this point of view, his future achievements may be higher than Sun Yan's highest achievements.

Therefore, after Su Rui won the championship, so many people cheered and were happy for him.

In any case, even if he is low-key, even if he will not have a good impression on the audience, at least it will not be a bad impression, even if the media wants to harm him and find his black spots, it is not easy, at most it is just that he does not participate in collective training and does not come to the competition venue in advance to prepare, and there are no other black spots, and these black spots are not worth mentioning in front of the results.

If Su Rui doesn't participate in training and his grades regress, it will indeed become a big black spot and will be disgusted by the audience.

But if his results do not regress because he did not participate in training, but his grades continue to improve, then there is no need to worry about becoming a black spot, and the audience will not take it seriously, as long as his results are getting better and better, the audience will like him.

Therefore, in this case, Su Rui can win the championship, then everyone will naturally be happy for him.

At the end of the competition, the results of each contestant also came out.

Sun Yan, who finished second, achieved a 3:41.58, which is a very good result and his best performance this year, which is about two seconds faster than the third place British's 3:43.75.

In this kind of international competition, the strength of the contestants is extremely close, especially the top three, even more so, and their results will not have much difference, and Sun Yan is two seconds faster than the British player, which is already a big gap, and it is also a relatively rare result of the competition.

As the second place Sun Yan, he has such a good performance and such good results, not to mention Su Rui, who won the championship, the results are naturally better, which goes without saying.

In fact, Su Rui's results are indeed very good, not only winning the first place, but also breaking the Asian record.

At the Asian Swimming Championships, he did not break the Asian record in the men's swimming 400-meter freestyle, on the one hand, because his strength at that time was not as good as now, and it was not so easy to break the Asian record, and on the other hand, because the Asian record in the men's swimming 400-meter freestyle belonged to Zhenguo athletes, so he had no motivation to break the Asian record.

It can be said that most of the Asian records broken by Su Rui at the Asian Swimming Championships at that time were Asian records that were not created by Zhenguo athletes.

Mainly because of his limited physical strength, it is impossible to break the Asian record in every competition, at most to win the first place, and can only choose some events to break.

At that time, Su Rui saw that the Asian record holder in the men's swimming 400-meter freestyle belonged to Zhenguo, so he didn't want to spend a lot of effort to break it, but spent his energy in other events to strive for the championship, which meant more to Zhenguo.

Because of this, at the Asian Swimming Championships, he only won the men's 400-meter freestyle championship, but did not break the Asian record.

And today, because of the competition between Su Rui and Sun Yan, he can no longer retain his strength, and the final outbreak made his results suddenly exceed the Asian record of the men's swimming 400-meter freestyle, successfully breaking the Asian record and creating a new Asian record.

The Asian record before the men's swimming 400m freestyle was set by Sun Yan.

At that time, Sun Yan broke the Asian record in the men's 400-meter freestyle with a time of 3:40.14 at the 2012 London Games, which has been held to this day, and no one can break it.

And today, Su Rui's result is better than Sun Yan's 3:40.14, and he set a new Asian record with a time of 3:40.08.

Although his current time is 3:40.08, which is just a new Asian record, not a breaking record, it is actually a very remarkable achievement to break this Asian record that has not been changed for three years.

Even if it is not to break the record, but to break the Asian record, it is enough to make the audience proud of Su Rui and cheer for him.
