The importance of the first baton is second only to the last baton in the relay race, and the teams also exclude strong opponents from the relay team. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the British side is 100m backstroke world record holder Lamb Tancock, who is also one of the best in the world in freestyle, finishing fourth in the heats and finishing in lane 6.

Australia's first runner is James Magnussen, who is also the strongest contender for the 100m freestyle title this year, who finished second in the heats, next to Great Britain, in lane 5.

On the U.S. side, Jason "Old Ray" Rezak, who completed a miraculous overtake at the Kyoto Olympics, finished third in the preliminaries in lane 3.

Alain Bernard, the former world record holder in the 100m freestyle sent by the French team, was naturally in lane 4 with the best view in the preliminaries.

It can be said that every opponent is much stronger than the Chinese team in terms of name and strength.

Although the team members are full of confidence, there is no doubt that in terms of finishing strength, the Chinese 100-meter freestyle relay is an absolute weak team.

"All in place. ”

As the referee uttered a burst of standard English pronunciation, the players all bent over and got ready.

"Quack!"

With the sound of electron guns, the players jumped into the water one after another.

After entering the water, Magnussen showed his peak swimming form of the year, taking the lead for the first place of all the competitors, followed by Bernard and Rezac, Great Britain's Tancock was fourth, followed by Germany, Ning Zetao worked hard to surpass Canada's first runner to rank sixth.

After 50 meters, this position did not change, and Ning Zetao held on to his sixth position.

"Come on, Chinese team!!"

At this time, the audience did their best to cheer loudly, and the cheers of the entire venue did not stop for a moment.

Perhaps infected by this atmosphere, Ning Zetao made a strong effort in the last 50 meters, surpassing the German team's players before the finish line and touching the wall first, raising the Chinese team's position to fifth.

After touching the wall, he coughed violently, and it could be seen that he was really trying his best this time.

The second batter of the Chinese team is veteran Lu Zhibin, who won the gold medal in the men's 100m freestyle at last year's Asian Games.

is different from Ning Zetao's way of breaking out throughout the whole process, Lu Zhibin is a typical player who rushes very fiercely in the early stage, and after entering the water at this time, he directly began to accelerate wildly.

To the excitement of the crowd, he successfully overtook Simon Bright of Great Britain and moved the Chinese team from fifth to fourth.

This time, the whole stadium is boiling, as long as it is faster, faster, the Chinese team will have the hope of winning a historic medal!

Lu Zhibin is still accelerating at full speed, but fourth is obviously his limit.

At this time, whether it is Garnett Weber Gaylor of the United States team, Manado Jr. of the French team, or Matthew Abboud, they are all players who are far superior to him.

And in the second half of the race, his lack of performance came to the fore, and by the final 20 meters, Britain's Simon Bright overtook him.

In the end, Lu Zhibin was not able to rush into one place on the basis of Ning Zetao, but barely retained the fifth position.

However, after touching the wall, the veteran's whole face turned pale, and he almost collapsed from exhaustion.

The pressure of this kind of high-intensity competition is absolutely top-notch, let alone competing against the best freestyle swimmers in the world.

But it can be seen that they did what they said before the game and did their best.

Lu Zhibin was followed by Sun Yang.

The 100-meter freestyle is not Sun Yang's strong point, but among the people who came this time, he was the one who chased the ducks on the shelves.

After entering the water, Sun Yang immediately began to break out, which may be the first time he did not have to save his physical strength in the competition.

Sun Yang's speed is indeed not fast, after 30 meters of start, his fifth position is in jeopardy, and he looks like he is about to be overtaken by the German team players behind him.

However, it can be seen that Sun Yang is fighting, and he is crazy about playing water.

"Sun Yang! Come on, Sun Yang!"

The audience shouted Sun Yang's name loudly and cheered for him, and even many female fans didn't know if it was affected by his love of crying, and they couldn't help crying and shouting at this time.

Entering the 50-meter turn, Sun Yang's height advantage was shown, and with his excellent turning skills, Sun Yang successfully opened the gap with the German team players and retained his fifth position.

In the second half, Sun Yang fought harder than the first half, and he worked hard to close the distance between him and the British team Grant Turner.

The cheers overshadowed wave after wave, and Sun Yang was completely desperate, and in the end, it could be seen that his explosiveness was quite strong.

Looking at Sun Yang, who was struggling, and then listening to the explosive cheers at the scene, his whole adrenaline soared straight up.

If there's anything worth fighting for tonight, it's the game in front of him, because it's not just a one-man game, it's a team game.

Now that everyone on the team is giving their best, it's time for him to put a perfect end to this effort!

Sun Yang finally touched the wall by just 0.05 seconds behind Turner, retaining the fifth position and closing the distance between him and the fourth.

After touching the wall, Sun Yang's whole person almost slipped directly, but fortunately, he held on to the pool wall to stabilize his body, which did not affect Tang Hao's departure.

It can be seen that this 100-meter desperate swim down is not easier than his 1500-meter swim.

Tang Hao was still in the fifth position after entering the water and coming out of the water, and because of his height, the distance between him and the German team players behind him was narrowed a little.

At this point, the top four leading teams are Australia, the United States, France, and Great Britain.

The Australian team is arguably the team with the best probability of winning the championship, and their previous three sticks, although the advantage is not large, have always been the lead, and the advantages of these three sticks together give them a full half of the lead over the second-place American team.

The U.S. team finally handed over to superstar Phelps, who has been trying to catch up since entering the water, but the last batter of the Australian team is also superstar Eamon Sullivan, and it will be difficult for him to overtake.

Narrowly behind the United States is France, with France's Philbury Glitter in the hunt for Phelps.

This is the First Army, and the fourth-placed British team is last on Ed Brown, who is half a gap behind Glitter.

After that, it was Tang Hao's Chinese team and Biedermann's German team, they were half a body behind, which was to catch up, and they were facing so many world famous players, and the difficulty was not much different from ascending to the sky.

Tang Hao set a new Asian record in the previous domestic swimming championships, becoming the first man to swim 48 seconds in the 100-meter freestyle. The home commentator said nervously and expectantly at this time.
