Chapter 518: Olympic Legend 5
"Don't be discouraged and keep working hard. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When Sun Yang came up from the pool with a lost look, Chen Feng stepped forward and patted him gently on the shoulder to show encouragement.
Sun Yang reluctantly smiled at Chen Feng and nodded vigorously.
Chen Feng didn't talk to him anymore, and soon it was his turn to compete. When he stood on the starting platform by the pool, he was drowned out by the cheers of the audience. This time, he also raised his hand and waved to the surrounding stands, and the cheers and screams became even more enthusiastic.
"This is the preliminaries of Chen Feng's second swimming competition tonight, and it will be interesting to see if he can surprise us again and break the world record again. ”
This is the preliminary round of the men's 400m freestyle, and it is also Chen Feng's first Olympic competition in this event. The previous world record holder was set by Australia's Ian Thorpe with a time of 3:40.08, 0.09 seconds faster than the original record. Tonight we are confident to see Chen Feng break the world record previously held by Thorpe. ”
……
In the men's 400m preliminaries, Chen Feng was divided into the last group, with a total of 8 players, including 8 different countries from Britain, the United States and Russia. However, on the whole, except for Chen Feng, the comprehensive strength of this group is not the strongest, which is not much challenging for Chen Feng.
So, there was no surprise in this match, Chen Feng maintained the absolute lead from the start, and until the end of the race, he was almost ten meters away from the second-place finisher. This is the result of Chen Feng deliberately suppressing his speed. And Chen Feng was not too surprised to break the world record previously set and held by Ian Thorpe in 02, with a time of 3:38.18, which was nearly 2 seconds faster. This record was almost disastrous for other swimmers. Thorpe only shortened the time by 0.09 seconds six years ago, and Chen Feng shortened it by nearly 2 seconds this time, which is too big a gap.
"Let us congratulate Chen Feng again, he really did not disappoint the people of our country, and once again lived up to expectations to break a new world record and set a new world record. It also improved the previous world record by a large margin. ”
This is the second new world record set by Chen Feng tonight. And tonight there is another game in which Chen Feng participates, so will he be able to continue to break the world record and create miracles? Let's all wait and see. ”
"What I want to say here is that the next competition is the men's 100m breaststroke, and the previous creator and holder of the world record is Chen Feng himself, with a time of 58:52.08, which is a very remarkable result, and no one has been able to break it so far. In addition to Chen Feng himself, I believe that it will be difficult for anyone to break this record in the next few years. ”
……
After Chen Feng went ashore, he was immediately surrounded by the deputy team leader and coaches, as well as Zhang Ling and Sun Yang, who had been waiting. Congratulations were given. Because there is still some time in the next game, it gives them a lot of time to celebrate. So much so that several other foreign players who participated in the same competition also came to politely congratulate them.
Among them were Larson Jensen, who finished second in the preliminaries, Shoshi Matsuda from Toei, and of course more than a dozen other competitors in the same category who have been watching from the sidelines.
Because the game has ended, out of politeness, it is not easy for the Huaguo team to block it anymore, so I shook hands with them one by one and accepted their congratulations. Fortunately, these players are still relatively rational, and they just shook hands with Chen Feng and sent congratulations. Then, because I didn't prepare, I didn't even ask for an autograph or anything.
Among them, it is worth mentioning that Park Taeheng from South Korea, who is also one of these congratulatory crowds, posed as a junior to Chen Feng, and when shaking hands with Chen Feng, he was almost 90 degrees bowed to his waist. In the previous life, this person shined at this Olympics and won the Olympic championship in this swimming competition, and he immediately became popular in South Korea. But now because of Chen Feng's joining, this is destined to be a supporting role.
Park Tae-heng looks a little old, standing with Chen Feng, it makes people think that he is older than Chen Feng, but in fact he is four years younger than Chen Feng. Therefore, it is a matter of course for him to recognize himself as a junior.
Chen Feng was delayed in the pool for more than ten minutes, until the next women's competition players came over to warm up, and then he was able to get out and go back to the backstage.
He will next compete in the final race of the evening, the men's 100m breaststroke. However, this time he was left with plenty of rest. The start time of the competition was 20:45, but because there were many players in this event, they were divided into nine groups, and Chen Feng was still arranged in the last group this time. Therefore, when it was Chen Feng's turn to compete, it would be more than nine o'clock in the evening. During this period, Chen Feng can have about 40 minutes of rest.
As soon as he returned to the backstage, Chen Feng immediately accepted the team doctor's full body press. Team leader Jiang Xiunan brought people over to express cordial condolences and cheers, and this set of processes is really familiar with it. After Chen Feng dealt with a few words, they didn't stay long, and soon left again.
Next, in addition to Chen Feng and the team doctor in the lounge, Liu Hui and Li Long, the two personal bodyguards who have been following Chen Feng.
At 8:45 p.m., the last game of the night began, and the group announcement was made on the radio, and Chen Feng was assigned to the last group. Chen Feng didn't go out to report immediately.
It wasn't until the end of the game in Group 5 that Chen Feng came out of the backstage, and he was greeted by cheers and screams from the audience. This time, he didn't wave to the surrounding stands. However, the enthusiasm of the audience, especially the female audience, is still very high. Even after a pause in cheering, their screams of excitement rang out from time to time.
Not long after Chen Feng sat down in the waiting area on the side, a player walked towards him, but before he could get closer, he was stopped by the deputy team leader and coach waiting next to Chen Feng. It wasn't until Chen Feng opened his mouth for them to let him go, and this person was able to walk up to Chen Feng.
"Long San, I'm very happy to see you again. Kitajima Kosuke bowed ninety degrees in front of Chen Feng, and his attitude can be said to be respectful, so he just knelt directly towards Chen Feng. Others didn't understand why he respected Chen Feng so much, but Chen Feng knew why. Because Chen Feng at this time, in the island country of Dongying, he was almost higher than the locust-like gods and Buddhas. Chen Feng's influence is increasing day by day in Dongying under the continuous development and growth of the Fan Federation and the Xinglong Party. A specific manifestation is that Dongying is now very friendly to China, and not only are there frequent people-to-people exchanges between the two countries, but also business activities abroad are increasing month by month. Even Dongying has unilaterally opened some of the original technology embargoed goods to China. It can be said that it is friendly to China with an open heart.
Kosuke Kitajima, as a native of Dongying, is of course very aware of Chen Feng's influence and status in their Dongying, so he is absolutely respectful to Chen Feng in his attitude. The previous Matsuda Zhangzhi was actually similar to him, and when he shook hands with Chen Feng and congratulated Chen Feng before, he also bowed almost 90 degrees, respectfully. It's just that he is also a Toei player, and he is not as famous as the Kosuke Kitajima in front of him.
Kosuke Kitajima competed with Chen Feng at the last Athens Olympics, but he met Chen Feng tragically, so he could only win two Olympic silver medals. Even he broke a previous world record in one of the races.
In this regard, he is the same as Michael Phelps before, in this time and space, because of the appearance of Chen Feng, their original swimming star shine is much dimmer. In the last Olympics, he had the opportunity to win two Olympic gold medals, which shocked the whole country and was regarded as a national hero. But it's a pity that because of Chen Feng, he can only win the silver medal. Although the gold content of these two silver medals is very high, it is almost equal to the gold medal in Dongying China, because for many people in Dongying, Long is invincible, and it is his honor to lose to Long, so he has become famous in Dongying China. However, the silver medal is a silver medal after all, although Dongying recognizes his personal strength in China, but out of Dongying, there are not many people who bird him. Because of his poor competitive form in the previous two years, he fell all the way in the international rankings.
He came to meet Chen Feng this time, not out of the same challenge as Phelps, but out of respect and to please the many long fans in Dongying. You know, now almost seven or eight out of ten people in Dongying are watching the live broadcast of the preliminaries of this Olympic competition, and he came to meet Chen Feng at this time, showing enough respect for Chen Feng, of course, he can please those fans of Chen Feng in Dongying, and at the same time, he can also increase his popularity. If he was lucky enough to get a few words of praise from Chen Feng like Phelps before, then he would be even more useful for life.
As for the bottom of his heart, he is somewhat challenging to Chen Feng, after all, it was Chen Feng who took away the two gold medals that should have belonged to him in the last Olympic Games. This time, his biggest hope is to win a gold medal from Chen Feng and impress people all over the world. However, of course, he did not dare to show it on the surface.
"You're Kosuke Kitajima, right?"
Chen Feng certainly has an impression of this, according to the history of the original time and space, this is the pride of all Dongying people and even all Asians, because he broke the world record in swimming, broke the monopoly of Western Caucasian people on breaststroke, and created a legend for Asians.
"Hi, yes, I'm honored to be remembered by Long-san. Kosuke Kitajima bowed ninety degrees again.
"You're very good at breaststroke, you won silver medals in the 100m breaststroke and 200m breaststroke at the last Olympics. If it weren't for me, you'd have won two gold medals. This is your misfortune. Chen Feng said slightly teasingly.
Kosuke Kitajima's face stiffened slightly, but he immediately said respectfully, "It's really my misfortune that I didn't win the gold medal." But at the same time, I am lucky, because I was defeated by you. To be able to meet a strong opponent like you, which is rare in a century, even as a loser, I feel honored and honored, and I feel that it is not shameful to lose to you, but an honor. ”
Chen Feng laughed and said, "You are very good at talking." Keep it up. Although we are still opponents, and I am very confident that we can defeat you again, at least you can't lose without a fight, and you will give all your strength later, so that I will value you as an opponent. ”
"Hey, I'll try. We'll see you tomorrow in the final. After Kosuke Kitajima bowed 90 degrees again, he took two steps back with a resolute face, turned around and left.
Chen Feng saw him like this, and he admired him a little in his heart. Chen Feng could see from his eyes that he was not convinced of himself as he said, but still had a deep fighting spirit. Although Chen Feng knew that even if he had the fighting spirit to face an opponent like himself, it would be useless, but he still couldn't help but admire.
If there was no Chen Feng in this time and space, this Kosuke Kitajima would have won two gold medals in this Olympics and broken the world record. It's a pity that he met himself in this time and space, so he could only make him hate again and go back with two silver medals again.
Later, other players tried to come over to greet Chen Feng, but Chen Feng did not signal the deputy team leader to let him go.
Kosuke Kitajima was placed in group 8, probably motivated or stimulated by Chen Feng just now, his preliminaries were very good, temporarily ranked first, with a time of 59.38 seconds, although he did not break the world record held by Chen Feng, but it was already the second record in the world. In other words, in this item, except for Chen Feng, he is a well-deserved king. Those Caucasian players in Europe and the United States can only be ranked behind him. And he wants to fall down the world rankings, and because of this result, he has to climb up again.
Finally, it was the turn of the last group of races, and Chen Feng stood on the starting platform by the pool again. At this time, even if it is only a preliminary round, it still attracts hundreds of millions of viewers around the world.
The starting gun sounded, and Chen Feng, like the other runners, jumped up and entered the water, and then began the fierce 100-meter breaststroke competition. The pool is designed to be 50 meters, and one round trip is 100 meters.
"It's still a beautiful entry into the water, and Chen Feng is in the absolute lead from the beginning. At 30 meters he was out of the way, and at 40 meters, he was almost a position ahead of the second...... 50 meters, turn, nice ...... In the last 40 meters, he has already pulled the second meter almost 5 meters......"
"In the last 20 meters, Chen Feng's speed is accelerating, 10 meters ...... The final time was 58.40.09 seconds, and Chen Feng once again broke the men's 100m breaststroke world record he had set at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Let us once again congratulate and cheer for Chen Feng, who is our great hero......"
This result is nothing to Chen Feng, if it weren't for the fact that the other players in the same group were too weak, and he had to lower his strength as much as possible, this result would definitely have to be improved a lot. But his achievement is undoubtedly an unforgettable and joyful event worthy of loud cheers and celebrations for other people's hundreds of millions of viewers in China and hundreds of millions of fans around the world. Specific to the Chinese swimming team, the leader of the swimming team and other leaders/guides, it is a great news. (To be continued.) )
