Chapter 993: A Huge Disadvantage

In this 4x100m freestyle relay final, Su Rui's burden is the biggest.

In addition to him, he and Ning Tao will also participate in this competition, but Ning Tao has already beaten him, and his results are indeed inferior to him.

Therefore, in this 4x100m freestyle relay final, everyone thinks that Su Rui is the biggest key to victory, whether the Zhenguo team can win prizes or not, it still depends on his performance, and with Ning Tao's results, he can only do it without being pulled apart by others.

It can be said that Ning Tao's strength is decent in this final, not the top, but not bad.

However, with Ning Tao's usual results, in this final, there is no way to make up for the gap between other team members, at most he only guarantees that his results will not be too far from other athletes, that's all, if there is no extraordinary performance, the situation will hardly change.

In addition to Su Rui and Ning Tao, the strength of the other two players is inferior, they have a certain gap with other strong teams, and in these two sticks, they may be distanced by other strong teams.

Therefore, whether the Zhenguo team can win the ranking mainly lies on Su Rui's body, which is not a light burden.

Unconsciously, he has become the mainstay of the national swimming world, occupying a very important, even irreplaceable position, for everyone, he is very important, even Ning Tao, who was once expected a lot, is now inferior to him.

Indeed, in the 100-meter freestyle, Su Rui is the best competition, and he has also made the best results.

Although the pressure is very high, he will definitely give it his all and will never disappoint.

Moreover, the 4x100m freestyle relay final is Su Rui's last race of the day, which allows him to explode without fear in the competition, and does not need to retain his energy for other competitions, which also makes his performance better.

Because of this, he believes that the Zhenguo team still has hope of winning, and it will not necessarily fall to Sun Shan.

Even, everyone's expectation for the Zhenguo team is to win a medal, even a bronze medal, but Su Rui wants to win the gold medal and win the first gold medal for this team event.

About this goal, he does not say it, but proves it with his own actions.

If you can't do it, there's no point in saying it now, and if you can do it, it's the same whether you say it now or not.

Therefore, Su Rui just prepared silently and didn't say anything.

In this 4x100m freestyle relay final, Ning Tao was assigned to the first base, hoping that with him as the first base, he could get a good start, at least not to be too far apart by other strong teams.

If in the first baton, the Zhenguo team is far behind the other participating teams, it will affect morale too much, then the players behind may not be able to raise their spirits to compete, and the results will naturally be worse, a bad start, but it will bring a chain reaction.

Therefore, the team leader will arrange Ning Tao into the first base, hoping that he can bring a good start.

After Ning Tao was the first stick, Su Rui became the last stick without exception, because he hoped that after the Zhenguo team fell behind, he could turn the tide and recover the gap, which is the most important stick, which belongs to the existence of the finale.

Soon, the first baton game began.

In the first 50 meters of the race, Ning Tao, who was the first to perform, performed very averagely, although he was not too far away, but he also lagged behind the other players, which made the hearts of the Zhenguo audience pinch up.

After all, if even Ning Tao was pulled away and the game was obviously at a disadvantage, then the Zhenguo team would really have no hope at all.

But fortunately, Ning Tao didn't let everyone worry for too long, and began to accelerate in the last 50 meters, gradually catching up, and recovering the previous disadvantage little by little, which made everyone feel better, at least a lot less worried.

In the end, Ning Tao and France tied for second handover, completing his task, while Canada took first place in the header.

Regarding this result, everyone was not surprised, and there was no great disappointment, in this competition, Ning Tao could be tied for second place when he handed over, in fact, it was already a very good performance, and this result was already very good.

Therefore, everyone knows that Ning Tao has done a good job, he has done his best, and naturally he will not be too disappointed.

It's just that this good start didn't continue, and it began to change in the second baton, and the Zhenguo team began to fall behind.

In the second bat, the players of the Zhenguo team began to lag behind the other teams, and the disadvantages began to appear.

In this stick, the French team leads the handover, while the Zhenguo team is the fourth handover, and the top three teams have opened up some distance, and it is difficult to catch up.

In the third bat, the French team took the lead at the beginning, but halfway through the swim, the Russian team caught up and achieved the lead handover, while the French team was the second handover, and the Zhenguo team was handed over in sixth position, and the gap widened further.

At this point, the audience was completely disappointed and no longer thought that the team could recover the disadvantage and win a medal, which was almost an impossible goal.

Because, the Zhenguo team is now too far behind, only the last stick is left, and it is difficult to chase from the sixth place to the top three.

In this case, even if it is the third place, it will be difficult for the Zhenguo team to catch up, and it is even impossible to maintain the current position, and it is possible to be caught up by other teams again.

In fact, everyone has a certain psychological preparation for this situation.

It can even be said that so far, the performance of the Zhenguo team has been normal, and it will rank sixth in the top three, which is not a mistake, it is a normal level of the Zhenguo team.

Therefore, everyone doesn't think that in the last baton, there will be any miracle for the Zhenguo team, it is impossible to catch up with the team in front and win medals, which is already a situation that everyone thinks is impossible, and the Zhenguo team cannot do it, because the current gap is too big.

If it weren't for Su Rui as the last one, the audience in Zhenguo would have lost interest in this final and didn't want to continue watching.

It is precisely because he is the last stick that the Zhenguo audience has the patience to continue watching the game, but they don't expect him to turn the tide and let the Zhenguo team win medals, this task is too difficult, and everyone doesn't expect him to do it.

Of course, everyone still hopes that Su Rui's performance can be better, at least catch up with some gaps, and don't let the Zhenguo team lose so badly.

As for medals and other things, everyone doesn't have any expectations, just let it be.
