Chapter 528: The Sino-Japanese War
Although the Chinese team's double insurance did not win the gold medal in the men's 400-meter freestyle, its skills are not as good as others, and they can't say anything. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The women's event of the Chinese team has always been the strength of the Chinese team, and the Chinese team can not only dominate in Asia, but even in the international arena to wrestle with those world's strongest teams.
The next women's 50m freestyle final is another advantage for the Chinese team.
The world record in the women's 50m freestyle is 23.73 seconds, set by a German athlete at the World Championships in Rome.
The Asian record holder is China's generation of freestyle star Le Jingyi, with a time of 24.51 seconds, which has not been broken since 1994.
Freestyle is the strength of the Chinese women's team, with Tang Yi, Li Zhesi, and Zhu Qianwei in the short distance, and Shao Yiwen, Liu Jing, and Li Xuanxu in the middle and long distance.
Since the 50-meter event is an anaerobic event, athletes are required to have good explosiveness and anaerobic ability, Tang Yi and Li Zhesi are very good in this regard, and the two youngsters have rich experience in the competition.
The 17-year-old Tang Yi won six gold medals at the inaugural Youth Olympic Games and was known as the "female Phelps", while the 15-year-old Li Zhesi helped the Chinese team break the world record as the final baton of the medley relay at the World Championships in Rome.
At the Doha Asian Games, the gold and silver medals in the women's 50-meter freestyle were won by Chinese athletes, and today Li Zhesi and Tang Yi will join forces to continue to write this glory.
The top two players in the preliminaries, Li Zhesi and Tang Yi, played in lanes 4 and 5 respectively, while the main opponents of the Chinese team, Tomoko Hagiwara and Yayoi Matsumoto, ranked in lanes 2 and 3.
Both Chinese players were very consistent, with Li Zhesi finally touching the wall in 24.97 seconds, followed by Tang Yi with a time of 25.22 seconds.
The Chinese women's team still maintains its unbeaten record.
After the women's 50m freestyle, it will be the final of the men's 100m backstroke.
In the men's 100m backstroke, Ryosuke Irie is the Asian record holder in 52.24 seconds, and Junya Koga broke the world record by winning gold at the 2009 World Championships in Rome.
This year, Ryosuke Irie swam 6th in the world in 53.35 seconds, and Jun Koga ranked 8th in the world in 53.49 seconds. China's He Jianbin had a best time of 55.16 seconds, which was far from Japan's.
In the morning preliminaries, Junya Koga and Ryosuke Irie easily advanced to the top two, with Sun Xiaolei and He Jianbin ranking third and fifth respectively.
After the starting gun sounded, Ryosuke Irie, who was the world's first person in technical details, made a mistake when setting off, and he did not board the power on the stage, and Junya Koga took the lead. However, in the first half of the race, Ryosuke Irie still chased to third place with his strong strength, and the first to turn around was Junya Koga, and Sun Xiaolei temporarily ranked second.
In the second half of the sprint, Irie Lingsuke swam faster and faster, and gradually overtook Sun Xiaolei and Koga Jun also rushed to the first place. In the end, Ryosuke Irie was the first to reach the side in 53 seconds, and also avenged the loss to Junya Koga at the World Championships in Rome. Jun Koga also won the silver medal in 53.88 seconds. Sun Xiaolei withstood the strong impact of South Korea's Park Sun-gwan in the final stage and retained the third position in 54.46 seconds.
The Chinese men's swimming team, especially in the backstroke event, has a big gap with the Japanese team, and this bronze medal can be said to be hard-won.
The final of the Russian women's 200m freestyle relay followed.
The women's 200m freestyle relay is a traditional advantage for the Chinese team, and at the 2009 World Championships in Rome, the Chinese team won the championship with a world record time of 7:42.08, which has been maintained to this day, with Yang Yu, Zhu Qianwei, Liu Jing and Pang Jiaying in the line-up at the time. Although this year's Guangdong Asian Games lacks Yang Yu and Pang Jiaying, the strength of rookies such as Tang Yi and Wang Shijia should not be underestimated.
In contrast, the Japanese team also has a very strong squad, with four players from Ito, Haruyo Ueda, Yayoi Matsumoto and Risa Sekine, who even outperformed the Chinese team. In addition, in the previous 100-meter freestyle relay final, the Japanese team launched a strong attack on the Chinese team, so the Chinese team's road to winning the championship tonight was not smooth sailing.
In the final, the Japanese team was placed in lane four, while the Chinese team started in lane five.
After the start of the game, Zhu Qianwei, the first baseman, took the lead, and at 50 meters he was already ahead of Ito Huaying by 0.60 seconds. In the first 100 meters, Ito narrowed the gap to 0.43 seconds. In the second half, although she struggled to catch up, Zhu Qianwei swam faster and faster, and extended the lead to 1:33 seconds at the baton.
Japan's second batter Haruka Ueda was in good form, chasing hard in the first 100 meters and closing the gap to 0.58 seconds with China. In the second half, Liu Jing, who is good at 400 meters, gave full play to his physical advantages, dropped Haruka Ueda farther and farther away, and completed the handover before the Japanese team at 0.83 seconds.
In the third bat, Wang Shijia was significantly stronger than Japan's Yayoi Matsumoto, who gradually dropped her opponent by as many as two positions and extended the lead for China to 2.70 seconds at the batter.
In the last shot, Tang Yi was far ahead from the moment he entered the water, and there was no suspense in the game at this time.
Tang Yi has just participated in the final of the women's 50-meter freestyle, her physical fitness is not very good, and Tang Yi has won silver medals in both events in the meter freestyle, which is still a little regrettable for Tang Yi, Tang Yi also wants to win a gold medal in the Asian Games to prove himself.
And now, the opportunity was in front of her, so Tang Yi did not relax in the slightest and swam to the finish line with all his might.
In the end, the Chinese team easily won the championship in 7:51.81, and the Japanese team won the silver medal with a difference of 4.11 seconds.
At present, in the swimming event of the Asian Games in Guangdong Province, the Chinese women's team has not lost a gold.
And Tang Yi also won her first gold medal in this Asian Games.
Here is the final of today's swimming event, the final of the men's 100m freestyle relay with Sun Shiner.
In the relay event, the Chinese team has won four gold medals in the relay event, none of which have been lost, and the men's 100-meter freestyle relay is the fifth.
In the six swimming finals that ended today, the Chinese team won four gold medals, the Japanese team won one, and the South Korean team won one.
So this last event, the competition must be fierce, the Japanese team is the defending champion of the men's 100m freestyle relay at the last Asian Games, they have lost their strongest bridgehead men's 200m freestyle relay, this event they will certainly not want to watch the Chinese team win the gold medal.
