Sun Shine stood next to him and watched the group stage of the men's 200m freestyle relay for the Chinese team.

"Here's the group stage for the men's 200m free relay." Han Qiaosheng introduced the following competition items.

"My country's first gold medal at this World Championships came from the relay event, when Sun Shiner led the team to win the race." Zhou Yafei still remembers the scene at that time and was very excited.

"Yes, I don't think the strength of our country in the men's 200m freestyle should be very bad, right?" Han Qiaosheng asked uncertainly.

"In terms of overall strength, there are many good players who can swim 200 meters in my country, such as Sun Shine, the champion of the 200-meter freestyle, the veteran Zhang Lin, and Sun Yang, but a few of them should not appear in the group stage except for Zhang Lin." Zhou Yafei analyzed the situation of the Chinese team.

"Sun Shiner has a lot of games today, so he won't participate in the group stage, Sun Yang has no games today, but he can't appear in the group stage, after all, he still needs to recuperate." Han Qiaosheng explained why Sun Shine and Sun Yang did not participate in the group stage.

"But I believe the Chinese team should be able to reach the final." Zhou Yafei is still a little confident.

Reaching the final was the final result Sun Shin wanted, and now that fate was in the hands of someone else.

"The Chinese team was divided into the first group, and the overall strength of this group is not strong, and only one Australian team is relatively difficult to deal with."

This is the difference in the swimming competition, he looks at the results, not the group rankings, so even if the Chinese team wins the first place in the group, as long as the results are not good enough, they may still be out.

"The four people sent by the Chinese team are Wang Shun who is the first team, Zhang Lin who is the second team, Jiang Yuhui who is the third team, and Li Junqi who is the fourth team. The Chinese team knew that there were not many masters in this group, so they sent a relatively second-team lineup.

In this group, the main competitor of the Chinese team is the Australian team.

The first one to appear was Wang Shun.

Wang Shun's jump was not very good, after he entered the water, he did not occupy the leading position, but fell behind.

Fortunately, Wang Shun's strength is still there, and after he turned around at 50 meters, he began to launch an offensive and chased forward.

By the time he reached 100 meters, Wang Shun had already caught up to third place.

Later, Wang Shun did not give up, but made persistent efforts to continue to catch up, and finally when he turned around at one hundred and fifty meters, Wang Shun overtook the members of the Canadian team and rushed to the first place.

In the last 50 meters, Wang Shun swam more and more smoothly, and as a result, he took the lead with a time of 0.65 seconds ahead of the Canadian team.

Canada was the second to play the bat, and the third was Australia.

temporarily occupied the first position, Sun Shine was still a little relieved in his heart, and Zhang Lin in the back should be able to stabilize the situation.

Zhang Lin has not been in very good shape, although before the game, he had already released words to qualify for the finals, not only for Sun Shine, but also for himself, after all, everyone wants to get higher honors.

But Zhang Lin, who was the second runner, was really not very good, especially in the first 50 meters, he, like Wang Shun, did not swim well.

Turning around at 50 meters, Zhang Lin had already given up the first position to the Australian team, and the Chinese team fell to second place.

In fact, as long as you follow the Australian team, it is fine, but Zhang Lin remembered his promise to Sun Shiner, and immediately began to chase with all his might.

At 100 meters, Zhang Lin, who had worked hard for 50 meters, actually took the lead and turned around, and Zhang Lin held the leading position in his hand again.

"Zhang Lin looks good." Zhou Yafei couldn't help shouting, she thought that the first position was going to be lost, but she didn't expect Zhang Lin to chase it back.

Sun Shine was also very happy to watch on the side, and he was secretly relieved, if everyone had this mentality, there would be no problem in reaching the finals.

In the end, Zhang Lin took a huge advantage of one second and eight or nine seconds ahead of the Australian team.

"Zhang Lin is fighting very hard, it seems that he has found his state without the distraction of the solo project." Zhou Yafei was very satisfied with Zhang Lin's performance.

The third stick, the Chinese team is Jiang Yuhui, Jiang Yuhui's performance is completely opposite to the two teammates in front, he is good in the front, but he does not play well in the back.

In the first 100 meters, Jiang Yuhui was still one second three three ahead of his opponent, but Australia's third baseman Keeley was strong, he seized Jiang Yuhui's mistake, and overtook Jiang Yuhui at 150 meters, and after the third bar, the Australian team took the lead in completing the handover with a lead of 0.82 seconds ahead of the Chinese team.

At the beginning of the final competition, the last batter of the Chinese team was Li Junqi, and the last batter of the Australian team was Napoleon.

Li Junqi swam well in the first half of the race, and when the two reached 150 meters, the Australian team was only 0.11 seconds ahead of the Chinese team.

But Napoleon was in better shape in the final 50 meters, with Australia first in 7:11.80 and China second in 7:12.19.

The second place in the group can ensure that the Chinese team enters the finals, but Sun Shine is still not at ease, he has to see the end of the second group of games, and he is not willing to leave until everything is determined.

Then came the second group of matches, which were all very strong, with the United States as the favourites to win the title.

It's just that the U.S. team only released a second-team lineup in the preliminaries, with four people being Walters, Dyer, Baynes and Van der Kay, although it is only a second-team team, the strength of this team is still extremely strong.

In the preliminaries, the U.S. team did not encounter the slightest resistance, and they easily won the group in 7:08.84.

Combining the results of the two groups, the United States team was the first team in the preliminary round, and Japan and France ranked second and third. The Chinese team's results ranked sixth in the preliminaries, so the Chinese team also successfully entered the finals.

Sun Shine's heart at this time can be regarded as completely relaxed, as long as he can enter the finals, he can guarantee that the Chinese team will win the gold medal, this is self-confidence.

"Little Sun, I've completed the task." Zhang Lin smiled at Sun Shine, he also fought hard this morning.

"Brother Zhang, let's go back and rest early, we have to fight side by side in the evening, and we will come back with a gold medal then." Sun Shine patted his chest and said.

"Since you believe in me, then I also believe in you, and I will see you at night." Zhang Lin knew that Sun Shine was powerful, and he really relied on Sun Shine at night.

"No, it's up to us." The relay race is not something that can be completed by one person, which is why Sun Shine said this. '
