There are a total of 3 groups in the preliminaries of the 4X100 relay race, and Zhedong Province appears in the first group, and their biggest opponent in this group is the naval swimming team led by newcomer Ning Zetao.
"Quack!"
With the sound of a gunshot, the contestants all rushed into the water like dumplings.
After entering the water, with a burst of cheers from the audience, the pool suddenly splashed, and the players swam forward with their legs fast.
The first player in eastern Zhejiang Province was a player named Qiu Ziyang, who rushed with all his strength at the beginning, but he did not have an advantage, in contrast, Liu Boyu, a player on the side of the Navy swimming team, was overwhelming everyone and maintained a slight lead.
Turning around after 50 meters, Liu Boyu took a step closer to widening the distance with other players, while Qiu Ziyang was a little weak and was overtaken by the players of the Guangdong provincial team next door.
Shen Qing's face by the pool became more and more pale, this time he came to the game with confidence, and it seemed that he was going to return home.
Liu Boyu's advantage is getting bigger and bigger, and when he is close to the 100-meter point, he and the second-ranked player have opened up a gap of half a body.
Such an outstanding performance also attracted a burst of cheers from the audience.
"Liu Boyu's condition this year is too good! The Navy swimming team has great hopes of winning the championship this year!"
"Their last one, Ning Zetao, also has amazing potential after switching from medley to freestyle, and he is really promising!"
The on-site commentator was also impressed by Liu Boyu's phenomenal performance.
Liu Boyu was the first to touch the wall, and Li Yihuan of the Navy Swimming Team was the first to rush into the water.
Liu Boyu had accumulated half of the body advantage before, and he had dived more than half of it, and Qiu Ziyang had just touched the wall.
Tang Hao had been waiting there for a long time, and after Qiu Ziyang touched the wall, he paused and jumped into the water.
After entering the water, he could see Li Yihuan's figure, but the latter had already begun to come out of the water at this time.
After the players came out of the water, the advantage of the Navy swimming team became more obvious, and Li Yihuan was a full half body ahead of the second place.
Not only that, even the line of the national record was thrown away by Li Yihuan.
Such a gap was something that no one expected before the race, and the Navy swimming team was really going to make big news in the relay race.
But at this moment, the audience suddenly burst into an uproar.
"This ...... This is ......" The on-site commentator was still boasting about the performance of the Navy swimming team a second ago, but at this moment, he was stunned and looked at the pool in disbelief.
The audience's uproar turned into exclamation and cheers.
In the pool, Tang Hao is like a full-powered engine, catching up with the players of the Shanghai team little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And then overtook it to the cheers of the audience!
That speed is not at the same level as others.
Shen Qing was also excited at this time, and suddenly stood up from his seat.
That's right, it's this speed against the sky!
Most freestyle swimmers use alternating left and right hands with straight arms, and this technique allows the swimmer to observe the other lanes while swimming.
Liu Yihuan was 30 meters ahead, his performance was normal, and he could even feel that he had taken a step closer to widening the gap with the second-ranked Shanghai team player, but when he took a breath to the left and looked to the right, he was almost startled.
In lane 4, which separated his two lanes, someone suddenly appeared in view.
Because the stroke is alternating between the left and right hands, the breathing is also changed left and right.
This sudden feeling really startled him, and after feeling the threat, he gritted his teeth and sped up the frequency of his legs, and he couldn't care about conserving energy for the rest of the race.
He is confident that after this acceleration, he will be able to snatch the lead back again.
He stroked with his left hand, followed by a transition of his face in the water, and then looked to the right.
At this glance, his whole person's technical movements almost stopped.
The runner in lane 4 had his head parallel to his chest!
He roared inwardly, followed nothing, and increased the frequency of his legs again.
Playing water in the pool too fast is a huge physical drain, and it is easy to have cramps, Liu Yihuan is completely desperate at this time.
He was desperate, and when he turned his head to look again, the whole person moved.
The runner in lane 4 caught up with him in a daze and went neck and neck with him!
The cheers of the audience were already like a tsunami.
Liu Yihuan in the pool was shocked, and the audience was excited.
In their eyes, Tang Hao's game is simply crushing, originally he was half a position behind the players of the Shanghai team, and more than a position behind Liu Yihuan, but in this short distance of thirty or forty meters, he first easily surpassed the players of the Shanghai team, and then narrowed the distance with Liu Yihuan a little bit, and then went neck and neck, this speed is simply against the sky!
You must know that the players who can come to this pool are all top players in China, but Tang Hao, a player who has never had any swimming results before, exploded as soon as he came up.
Shen Qing was speechless with excitement at this time, and his body trembled faintly.
Genius, absolute genius!
Tang Hao shocked him during the test match, but how could there be such a visual impact in front of him, this is a real catch-up!
However, the situation of going hand in hand only lasted for a while, and it could even be said that it was just a paddling action, and in the next second, Tang Hao had already overtaken Liu Yihuan.
The audience was really stunned.
This speed is definitely the top short-distance level in China!
And from falling behind to completing the catch-up, he only took a distance of 40 meters!
"I think I'm going to take back what I just said, height is not an issue in the face of sheer speed. ā
Tang Hao's phenomenal performance has convinced the commentators.
There are already many viewers who can't help but get up and cheer excitedly, and viewers who like swimming know how cool this feeling of catching up and overtaking is.
However, many viewers are worried that Tang Hao rushed so fiercely in the first 50 meters, and whether there will be a lack of follow-up after turning around.
In swimming competitions, this phenomenon is not uncommon, the longer the distance, the more obvious it is, and when it comes to 800 or 1500 meters, there are even athletes who deliberately retain their physical strength in front of them and do not exert their strength until the second half.
Sun Yang is a typical example of this.
Shen Qing also looked at the pool with concern in his eyes at this time, he was not worried about Tang Hao's physical strength, after all, Tang Hao had proved in the previous test match that it was completely fine for him to rush like this, what he was worried about was Tang Hao's turn.
Although in the past month, he has been very targeted to conduct professional training for Tang Hao on turning, training and competition are two different things, and sometimes some skills can't be practiced for a few years, let alone a short month.
In this case, Tang Hao was about a head away, his body flipped in the water, and he was about to usher in a 50-meter turn.
