Chapter 1016: Winning the Championship
In anticipation of everyone, the men's 200m butterfly officially began.
At the beginning of the competition, all the competitors jumped into the pool at the same time, and it was almost impossible to tell who jumped first.
Because Su Rui has no experience in the 200m butterfly, he has not even participated in the competition more often than other swimming events.
Because of this, he has no experience, so it is difficult to determine his performance from the beginning.
So, in order to be on the safe side, Su Rui swam forward with all his might at the beginning, which made him rush to the front all of a sudden.
This time, a man who was considered to have little hope of winning the championship, but he was in the lead at the beginning stage, and the advantage was obvious, which surprised everyone.
The butterfly stroke is very different from other strokes, and the difference is even greater when compared to freestyle.
Among the four competitive stroke techniques, the butterfly technique can be regarded as an evolution of the breaststroke technique, when the breaststroke technique is developed to the second stage, some athletes use the technique of paddling with both arms to the thighs and then lifting the water surface, and then migrating from the air.
Judging from the appearance, this swimming style is like a butterfly spreading its wings, which is the origin of butterfly swimming.
In addition, because the leg movements of the swimming style resemble dolphins, it is also called "dolphin swimming", which is another alias, but everyone is still used to calling it butterfly swimming.
Compared with the other three basic swimming styles, the butterfly stroke posture is the most beautiful, as if it is a combination of strength and softness, the ornamentation is undoubtedly the highest, and the butterfly stroke is also the most physically demanding, and it is also the most difficult to practice.
With such a big difference, athletes who are good at other swimming styles may not be able to play well in butterfly swimming, and butterfly swimmers are difficult to achieve results in other events.
Therefore, everyone thinks that even if Su Rui is good at freestyle, he may not be very good in butterfly swimming.
What's more, in the 200-meter butterfly, he is a complete newcomer.
Even Su Rui has participated in the 50-meter butterfly and the 100-meter butterfly, and they have all achieved good results, such as the 100-meter butterfly breaking the Asian record, and the 50-meter butterfly breaking the record.
But even if it is the same swimming style, but the events of different distances are almost very large.
The gap between the 50-meter butterfly and the 100-meter butterfly and the 200-meter butterfly is not a little bit, not to mention Su Rui, who is a newcomer in the 200-meter butterfly, which is considered impossible by everyone to play.
However, because he has achieved good results in the 50m butterfly and the 100m butterfly, this at least shows that he is very explosive in the short distance butterfly competition.
In this way, in the early stage of the 200-meter butterfly, Su Rui was in the lead at the beginning, which was normal, which was also a little unexpected for the audience, but it would not be too shocking, and it still couldn't change their minds.
On the contrary, everyone thinks that Su Rui is inexperienced, and if he breaks out in the early stage, he may have physical exhaustion in the later stage, and his speed will slow down, and he will be chased by all the other players in the back, and it is impossible to keep the lead until the end, which means that they still don't think he can win the championship.
After 100 meters, his disadvantage will start to show, that's still the opinion of most people.
However, this game process is indeed the same as many people think, at least in the early and middle stages, and the result will not be said.
After 50 meters, Su Rui's speed began to slow down, no longer as fast as before, and was gradually caught up by other competitors, and even overtaken.
By the 100m, he was no longer far ahead, but in fourth.
This situation made everyone more firm in their opinion, and thought that it was impossible for Su Rui to win the championship, that his physical strength had begun to be unable to keep up, and the disadvantage was becoming more and more obvious, and it was difficult to say whether he could keep the top five positions in the end.
But will the results really be the same as everyone says? Not necessarily.
The reason why Su Rui's speed slowed down after 50 meters was not that his physical strength couldn't keep up, but that he didn't think it was necessary to be so fast.
After all, his initial outburst was completely inexperienced, and he would only accelerate to maintain the lead just to be on the safe side, but after the 50-meter race, he had mastered the speed of the other competitors and made sure that he could win.
In this way, Su Rui does not need to burst out with all his strength all the time, but begins to have reservations and break out again in the later stage to win the championship.
In this way, he can use the least amount of energy to win the championship, and not consume too much energy in this competition, which is why his speed has slowed down.
Therefore, Su Rui is lagging behind now, not because of his physical exhaustion as everyone imagined, but because he wants to slow down, the purpose is to save his strength and cope with other games, not that his strength is not good.
In fact, after 100 metres, he was behind but after 150 metres, with 50 metres remaining, he broke out again.
When Su Rui first broke out, he was out of control, and the opponents in front of him were surpassed one by one.
In the last 20 meters, he was already in an absolute lead, and as long as he continued to swim and did not stop, no one would catch up with him again.
When Su Rui swam to the front again, swimming from fourth place to first place, everyone was blinded, and this was what shocked them.
In the beginning, he was indeed in the lead, but everyone thought that he was the champion in the 50m butterfly and the 100m butterfly, and it was normal for him to be able to lead in the early stage, so everyone would not be surprised.
But after 100 meters, everyone didn't think that Su Rui could overtake, but thought that he would fall behind the other competitors more and more.
But now, Su Rui not only overtook him, but also swam directly to the front, and the advantage was also very obvious, which was unexpected, so that everyone's mouth couldn't help but open widely.
In the end, when he managed to reach the finish line, the first to reach the finish line, many people forgot to say anything.
After a long while, everyone's cheers rang out.
Everyone thought that Su Rui couldn't win the championship before, not because they didn't want him to not win the championship, but because they thought that he was not good at this project, so after he won the championship, he would naturally not be unhappy.
On the contrary, even if he wins the championship, it is equivalent to a slap in the face, but this kind of slap in the face, for the Zhenguo audience, but I hope to come a few more times, winning the championship in this kind of event is originally a matter of raising eyebrows, how can everyone not want him to win the championship!
Therefore, after Su Rui won the championship, the audience of Zhenguo who reacted broke out into thunderous applause, which shows how happy he was.
