Chapter 260: Thames Scenery (2-in-1)
In the pool, Tang Hao continued to expand his lead after overtaking Kosuke Kitajima. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
His limbs are not long, his body is not extraordinarily strong, and his movements are not as standard as exaggerated, but his speed is fast, constantly widening the distance between him and other competitors.
This is also the biggest feature of ancient Chinese swimming, practicality, and Zhang Shun, as the representative of the pinnacle of ancient swimming, has taken this practicality to the extreme, giving full play to every trace of strength of the body.
At 150 meters, Tang Hao's lead is already extremely huge, and the gap of a whole position makes it impossible for other players to shake his status.
And at this time, Kosuke Kitajima, after all, is old, because he rushed too fiercely in front, he was overtaken by Geyuta and Jammieson successively, and he was in the fourth or fifth place with Tateishi, who is also an island country.
In the last 50 meters, amid the endless cheers of the audience, Tang Hao was nearly one position ahead of Gyuta and the first to touch the wall.
After touching the wall, the audience all looked at the display screen in unison.
2:07.00.
This result is once again breaking the world record!
The scene was followed by cheers.
"Oh my God, how many world records are going to be broken!" The commentator was also completely impressed by Tang Hao's performance.
"Hey man, you should have known this a long time ago. The commentator did not forget to poke his scar at this time.
"Don't do that!" the narrator remembered that he couldn't touch a woman for the next month, and immediately hid his face.
Tang Hao came out of the pool, and he was still greeted by cheers in the sky.
It was also at this moment that Tang Hao finally noticed Yan Bing, he and his classmates were sitting in the corner of the second floor, it was really difficult to find.
It was also thanks to the power of a hundred steps through Yang that his eyesight had greatly increased, and after seeing it at this time, he stretched out his hand to say hello.
On Yan Bing's side, a group of students suddenly cheered and screamed, obviously how happy they were to be noticed by Tang Hao.
Yan Bing's face was also slightly red.
As soon as Tang Hao finished saying hello, he was blocked by reporters.
Journalists always have to seize the moment at the first opportunity, and the machine-gun-like problem makes it impossible for him to get out of it.
Breaking the world record in two events in a row to win the championship, Tang Hao is undoubtedly the brightest star in this swimming pool.
Finally came out of the encirclement of reporters, Tang Hao couldn't help but take a long breath.
I went back to the locker room, changed my clothes, and took out my phone to take a look.
As usual, the phone was full of congratulatory text messages, but he saw that the latest one was sent by Yan Bing.
"You're really good, so good that I almost don't recognize you. β
The message is short, but the emotions are complex.
Before the Olympic Games, although Tang Hao was already famous, it was only limited to the sports circle, and the Olympics was completely different, this was an event with complete participation of the whole people, and the former childhood sweetheart became an unreachable star, Tang Hao suddenly realized that Yan Bing did not contact him after coming to London, and there may be some reasons for this.
"It's still early, go for a walk around the Thames?" Tang Hao replied with a message, and then began to put on his coat.
As soon as he put it on, Yan Bing's message came back, much more concise than just now.
"Good!!"
Tang Hao put his bag on his back, and then called Yan Bing and asked him to meet at the door.
Yan Bing is wearing a plaid skirt, which seems to be more mature than when she was at the Shanghai World Championships, and of course she is a lot more beautiful.
"Tang Daxing! Take advantage of no one to take a group photo with me first!" "Really met, Yan Bing seemed to have changed back to his original appearance, and when he came up, he pulled Tang Hao to his body like he did when he was a child, and when he pulled it, he found that Tang Hao was already taller than him.
Tang Hao bent down and asked Yan Bing to pull his neck, and the two took a group photo.
Yan Bing looked at the photo and smiled happily.
"Don't you post a Weibo?" Tang Hao said with a smile.
"What kind of Weibo, I don't want to be a big micro, why do you post that thing. Yan Bing waved his hand.
When she put away her phone, she looked at the time on her watch and said, "Let's take a walk around the neighborhood, the Thames is a little far away, you have to go back early to rest." β
"It's okay, I'm not going to play early tomorrow, it's a shame to come to England and not go to the Thames. Tang Hao waved his hand.
"You...... All right. Yan Bing didn't persuade again.
"By the way, when did you come?" Tang Hao and Yan Bing said as they walked out.
"At the opening ceremony, our school youth association held an event. β
"Youth Association, what is that?" Tang Hao had never gone to college in his previous life or in this life, so he didn't know much about this.
"Young Volunteers Association~"
"Oh, association, that's at your own expense?"
"Yes, it's a rare opportunity to come out, and to be able to see Xiao Budian win the gold medal at the Olympics, it's really worth it. β
"Sister Yan, can you make a suggestion?"
"Well, you say. β
"Can you stop me from being indecided? I'm half a head taller than you now. β
"Ah, I'm not going to grow up, but don't you still call me Sister Yan?"
ββ¦β¦ Yan Bing!"
"I'm here, little one. β
β¦β¦
The River Thames, which originates in Cotswair Elder Hills in southwest England, is 346 kilometers long and runs through London, the capital of the United Kingdom, and more than 10 cities along the river.
For the British, the river that nurtured their ancestors was their mother, and it was the same mother river as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in China.
The River Thames runs through the city of London, and many well-known attractions in the UK, such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, and the London Main Gate, are basically scattered along the river.
Tang Hao and Yan Bing rented an electric car and went up the river, saving effort and enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.
Some time ago, the parade caused a great shock to the British citizens, but at the same time, it also made people realize what is called degree, although there are still people who oppose the Olympics, but more people will choose a more moderate way, coupled with the government's strict inspection, the current London, can be said to be the best time to be safe since entering the Olympics.
Tang Hao carried Yan Bing, from south to north, the first thing he saw was the Palace of Westminster, that is, the British Parliament Building, there was a lot of traffic outside the building, and compared with Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, this political center is obviously more integrated into the city.
A little further north, they saw Britain's most iconic building, Big Ben.
The two men parked the car to the side and squeezed in as well.
The full name of Big Ben is Elizabeth Tower, which is one of the world's famous Gothic buildings, with a height of 95 meters.
Seeing Big Ben, Tang Hao suddenly thought of Xiyao Fein, the royal fighter who was full of the atmosphere of middle two.
Speaking of which, after the swimming competition, he is likely to fight this fighter again, and I don't know how much the strength of this man who said he wants to revive British boxing has increased after nearly a year.
"It's about to ring!" At this moment, Yan Bing suddenly shouted excitedly.
Tang Hao looked up at the bell tower at this time.
Under the bell tower, many tourists took out their mobile phones.
"Knock~"
A long bell.
The bell, which rings every 15 minutes, takes another step forward like the wheel of history.
took a photo, Yan Bing posted a photo of Big Ben and uploaded it to Weibo.
Tang Hao glanced at it, and then beckoned Yan Bing to go out.
Further on, they soon saw the Eye of London.
The London Eye, also known as the Millennium Wheel, is a giant Ferris wheel with many cabins of the same size, and this 135-metre-tall giant Ferris wheel is one of London's most popular attractions, offering a bird's-eye view of the surrounding scenery within 25 miles from the bottom up, and a sense of floating above the city at the highest point.
But it's not running at night, and they're just a quick glimpse.
Further up the River Thames, they saw many famous sights, all the way to the entrance to the city of London, the most famous of London's 15 sea-crossing bridges, Tower Bridge.
The Tower Bridge is over 120 years old and is a living fossil of British history, just like the River Thames below.
The tower bridge is a suspension bridge, with two square pylons in the middle, like two soldiers arching the bridge, and in the middle of them, there is a suspension bridge that can be retracted.
Contrary to the Eye of London, there are often huge cruise ships passing through here during the day, and the bridge needs to be retracted from time to time, so tourists are not allowed to enter, on the contrary, at night, there are no cruise ships on the river, and the bridge is officially open to the public.
Tang Hao and Yan Bing parked the car at the head of the bridge, and the two of them walked along the bridge deck.
It has to be said that as one of the most famous bridges in the world, the scenery around him is indeed very pleasant.
There are two ways to pass through London Bridge, one is from above, because of the height, you can have a bird's eye view of the whole river, and the other is to shuttle through the Tower Bridge, known as the "main gate of London", which is also another experience.
Of course, this is a multiple-choice question, but the answer is not multiple-choice.
Tang Hao and Yan Bing chose to walk from above, and then from below.
The base of the tower was not solid, there were museums, exhibition halls, shops, bars, etc., and the two of them did not go in, but went straight to the top.
Standing on this high place, a bird's-eye view of the River Thames running through the city of London from top to bottom, coupled with the oncoming river breeze, the whole body and mind are relaxed.
Yan Bing closed his eyes at this time and took a deep breath, reflecting the bright light emitted by the tower, and the picture was very beautiful.
Tang Hao took out his mobile phone to take a photo, and when he was about to put it down, there was a sudden "whoosh" sound in the river below.
This time the voice was very loud, not only attracting Tang Hao's attention, but also the eyes of everyone else on the bridge, even Yan Bing opened his eyes and looked at Tang Hao suspiciously.
"Wow~"
Another paddling, this time, many people saw the source of the sound, I don't know what is swimming under the bridge, such a big paddling sound, indicating that it is huge.
"Water monster, water monster!" shouted an Englishman next to him, and then took out his mobile phone and took pictures.
At the same time, others also took out their mobile phones and pointed at the river.
Not only the tourists above, but also the tourists below all looked at the river, and the tourists on the bridge continued to gather at the bridge, and their eyes were full of excitement.
Water monster, this word can always be seen in many media, Kanas Lake, Lake Ness, Qinghai Lake, etc., the most well-known of which is the Loch Ness Monster, after the media circulation, it has become synonymous with water monsters.
What many people don't know is that as the mother river of the British, the Thames Monster is also a big legend, although some people later confirmed that this is just some gimmick deliberately created by a local travel company in London, but the water monster is a real thing, and no one knows whether it is true or false.
It is impossible for a large steamer to operate under the bridge deck at night, and there are no small pleasure boats in the field of vision at this time.
Yan Bing also looked at the river with curiosity at this time.
However, the river had returned to calm by this time, and there were no more ripples.
"Alright, let's go. At this moment, Tang Hao heard someone next door say in Chinese.
He turned his head to see a middle-aged man wearing a suit that was worth a lot of money at first glance and a Rolex watch in his hand, when he reached out and pulled a little girl who was only three or four years old beside him.
"Baby, let's go back. Next to the middle-aged man, an Englishwoman with peugeot features smiled and touched the girl's head.
Noticing that Tang Hao was looking at them, the woman smiled and nodded at him.
In order to avoid being recognized at a glance, Tang Hao was wearing a hat at this time, and he also nodded politely in response.
This middle-aged man should be the elite of a certain multinational company, earning British money, marrying a beautiful British woman as a wife, giving birth to a beautiful mixed-race woman, and an absolutely successful person.
"Alright, let's go too. Tang Hao retracted his gaze and said to Yan Bing.
By this time, there was no movement on the river, and most of the people had already left the bridge, and they were walking and talking as before.
On the bridge deck, you can see many performers, some playing saxophone, some performing acrobatics, and many beggars.
Tang Hao and Yan Bing were also chatting and walking.
As he was walking forward, Tang Hao saw the successful Chinese again, who was bending down to give money to the beggars on the ground.
He put it, not threw it, and it can be seen that this person's cultivation is good.
"Look, London Eye!" Yan Bing said as he stretched out his finger at this time.
Tang Hao turned his head to look, this place had reached the mouth of the river, and it was already far away from the Eye of London, and it was basically impossible to see, but at this angle, he just saw a corner through the layers of buildings.
"That's a nice angle. Tang Hao nodded and said with a smile.
Such attractions are obviously not marked in the travel books, and even because it is at night, the illuminated London Eye will not be noticed, which may not be visible during the day.
"I'll take you a picture. Tang Hao said and picked up his mobile phone.
Yan Bing's face turned slightly red, nodded, walked to the bridge, crossed his hands in front of him, and looked at Tang Hao with a smile.
A breeze blows, gently blowing a few strands of green silk, brushing his cheeks, covering the corners of his eyes, Yan Bing reaches out to comb his hair, this action, in the soft light, reflects the London Eye in the distance, compiling a painting, indescribable beauty.
Tang Hao captured this moment.
"I'm ready. Yan Bing straightened her hair at this time and shouted.
Tang Hao nodded, he just wanted to continue filming, but at this moment.

An anxious shout came from behind him.
