Chapter 167: The Storm Rises Again (5/5)

In large-scale competitions, most of the players who do not compete on the competition day will be arranged to train in the swimming pool next door, but sometimes, in order to relax the athletes' mentality and give the athletes some rest time, the coaches will choose to give the players a temporary holiday.

Tang Hao and Sun Yang, the two freestyle players, enjoyed this kind of treatment today, and they chose to come to the stadium to watch the game and relax.

Their arrival also instantly detonated the audience, and they won 2 golds and 1 silver together on the first day, attracting a kind of fans vying for autographs and group photos.

Tang Hao also experienced the feeling of being sought after for the first time in a real sense.

It's a little fluttery.

It wasn't until the game was about to start that the surrounding fans returned to their original positions under the persuasion of the security guards, but it could be seen from the glances cast from time to time that they were eager to sit with Tang Hao and Sun Yang.

The next morning will be the men's 50m butterfly and women's 200m medley, with China's Zhou Jiawei and Shi Yang, and women's Ye Shiwen both competing.

Teenager Shi Yang appeared in the first group, and the more well-known runner in this group was Matthew Targut from Australia, who specializes in butterfly but was also one of the team members who won the 4x100m freestyle relay on the first day of Australia's competition.

Shi Yang's appearance attracted a burst of cheers from the audience, but Taggart's appearance attracted boos from all over the world.

From this boo, it is clear that the audience is dissatisfied with Taggart, or the Australian swimmers.

This boo quickly drew Taggart's displeasure, and the frowning expression showed that he was trying to control his emotions.

After the competitors were ready on the starting platform, they all jumped into the water with the sound of an electron gun.

The cheers of the audience rang out, and the cheers were deafening.

Tang Hao and Sun Yang had heard this kind of cheer in the pool before, and now sitting in the stands, they felt a burst of eardrum vibration, and the enthusiasm of the audience was like fire.

Shi Yang's talent and strength are very good, in the cheers of the home crowd, he tried his best, and finally swam a personal best of 23.67 seconds, ranked second in the group, and successfully entered the semi-finals.

The group was topped by Australia's Tagter, who was emotionally agitated and even a little emotional after the win, and after the match, he kept shouting words starting with F to the crowd to vent his inner frustration.

This quickly drew another boo from the crowd, but the Australians enjoyed it this time and kept nodding their heads.

Tang Hao couldn't help but look serious.

Australia's interview video, he has seen it yesterday, the words are full of disdain and discrimination against China, and even Asian swimmers, I thought that after the Internet exposure, these people will always be more restrained, but I didn't expect it to be such an attitude, it seems that they are the same as the American Peter Allison who met in the archery competition, and the sense of superiority is deeply penetrated into the bones.

The preliminaries of the 50-meter butterfly continued, and the veteran Zhou Jiawei played averagely, and finally only won the third place in the group, missed the next semi-finals, and ended the 50-meter butterfly competition ahead of schedule.

After the group stage of the 50-meter butterfly is over, the preliminaries of the 200-meter freestyle will follow.

Because of Ye Shiwen's debut, the emotions of the audience were ignited again.

Ye Shiwen's strength in the medley has been fully demonstrated in the championship, and she also completed the group stage easily and happily at this time, and finally easily won the first place in the group with a time of 2:11.21 and advanced to the semifinals.

After the game, Ye Shiwen waved in the direction of Tang Hao and Sun Yang, causing another burst of cheers from the audience.

There will also be a men's 100m breaststroke and women's 100m butterfly in the morning.

Because China's strength in these two events is relatively poor, Tang Hao and Sun Yang did not continue to stay on the scene, and left the audience before the start of the competition.

Although the coach gave them a day off, they still had to train consciously in the afternoon in order to keep the game in shape.

In the semi-finals in the afternoon, the teenager Shi Yang played abnormally in the game, and finally ranked fifth among the boys, missing the final in the evening.

Such a result was expected, and speaking of which, this is also Shi Yang's first time participating in the World Championship, and it is inevitable that there will be fluctuations in his mentality.

However, in the pre-match interview, the Australian, who couldn't calm down, caused trouble again.

Reporters will conduct an interview with the athletes before the game, and when interviewing Taggart, the player who enjoyed two boos from the audience in the group stage, first complained about the disrespect of the audience for the players, and then when talking about Shi Yang's failure to participate in the final, he said bluntly: "This is the strength of Chinese players, without the help of other things, they can't even enter the finals, this is the best proof." ā€

The word "something" used in the interview was "something", which can be understood in many ways, but with the interview video of the first day of competition, it is clear that this thing is an allusion to doping.

Such remarks soon attracted condemnation from netizens, and well-known sports people even directly aiteted the Chinese Swimming Federation on Weibo, and after continuous fermentation, dissatisfaction has reached a climax.

It is in this context that when the 50-meter butterfly was held in the evening, the Brazilian swimmer Cesar Junior Cielo, who beat out Australia's Taggott and Jeff Hugill and finally won the championship, became the focus of the audience and netizens, and was even called the "Friend of China".

Netizens reacted strongly, but at the same time, it also illustrated one thing from the side, there is no one in the Chinese men's butterfly, and they can only rely on this kind of foreign friends who forcibly pull the relationship to find some comfort.

Fortunately, in the next 200m freestyle final, Ye Shiwen played well, beating Australia's Alicia Coutts and American star Ariana Cuckles to win the first and only gold medal for the Chinese swimming team in the next day's competition.

When the national anthem sounded, many people at the scene burst into tears, the Chinese nation suffered humiliation and discrimination in the last century, and now has entered an era of rapid economic development, but in sports, they will still suffer discrimination and unfair treatment from time to time, and the lyrics of the national anthem, in a sense, are also the dissatisfaction with this kind of encounter.

It was against this backdrop that the World Championships ushered in the third day of competition, and it was also the first day of multi-event competition.

On this day, there are a total of five events for the pre-finals, which is a very tight schedule and, more importantly, the most popular event on this day, the 100m freestyle. (To be continued.) )
