Japan are gearing up and they want to get a little bit of a result today, because this is the last chance.

In the morning, it was still the preliminaries, and the preliminaries of several events began in turn.

The backstroke has always been the strength of the Japanese team, so in the first men's 50-meter backstroke preliminaries, the two players of the Japanese team easily entered the final, and of course, the two players of the Chinese team also entered the final.

Then came the preliminaries of the women's 200m medley, and the two players of the Chinese team still entered the final.

The last preliminaries event was the men's 100m medley relay, and the evening final was also the men's 100m medley relay.

A total of 15 teams will compete in the men's 100m medley relay at this Asian Games, and the 15 teams will be divided into two groups, and the top eight teams in the overall score will qualify for the final in the evening.

For the final in the evening, the Chinese team retained its strength in the preliminaries and sent a relay team composed of He Jianbin, Xue Ruipeng, Chen Weiwu and Shi Tengfei, which can be said to be China's second team.

The main competitor of the Chinese team, the Asian record holder of the championship rival, the Japanese team, sent a lineup of Ryosuke Irie, Kosuke Kitajima, Mayuki Kishida and Shunsuke Katsuhara to participate.

The first to play was China, who were in the fourth lane of Group 1, along with Macau, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Uzbekistan and Kuwait. The Chinese team, which is significantly higher than its opponents, firmly occupies the top position from the beginning, and finally won the first place in the group with a three-point-45-78 lead over the second place and a three-second one-two advantage, Uzbekistan and Malaysia ranked second and third in the group respectively.

Japan started in the fourth lane of Group 2, joined by Iran, Singapore, South Korea, Kazakhstan, the Philippines, India and Qatar. At the beginning of the race, the strong Japanese team established the lead, and in the next three races, the Japanese team led all the way, and finally won the group with a time of 3:40.78, Kazakhstan and South Korea took second and third place respectively.

In the overall rankings, Japan ranked first with 3:40.78, China came in second with 3:45.78, and Kazakhstan, South Korea, Iran, Singapore, Uzbekistan and India ranked third to eighth, all of which won the right to the final in the evening.

Don't look at the Japanese team is the first team and the Chinese team is the second team, but the gap between the two teams is still very large, and the Chinese team is a full five seconds slower than the Japanese team.

These five seconds are absolutely fatal for a swimming competition.

Fortunately, this is only the preliminary round, and it has not yet reached the finals.

In the final in the evening, the Chinese team will definitely send the first lineup.

Just when everyone thought that the Chinese team should be able to end in a very good situation, the first final of the night gave the Chinese team a head start.

The Japanese team held back their emotions for a few days, and all of them vented out.

In the men's 50m backstroke competition, the Japanese team Jun Koga also won the championship, another Japanese player Ryosuke Irie won the second place, and the Chinese team only won one bronze medal.

The Japanese team swept the top two, which can be regarded as revenge for the front.

The backstroke has always been the weakness of the Chinese team, and it can't be compared with the Japanese team at all, so there is nothing to regret about losing this game.

The second race was the women's medley final.

Ye Shiwen, a young player of the Chinese team, won the championship again, and she has won two gold medals in this Asian Games, which also allows the Chinese audience to see the still strong side of the Chinese women's team.

So far, the Chinese team has only lost one gold medal, which can be said to be a very good result.

In the men's 200m breaststroke competition, the Chinese team still has hopes for this gold medal, after all, the most powerful Asian frog king in this event withdrew from the competition due to injury, so he did not participate in the final.

Although the Japanese team still has Naoya Tomita, the Chinese team has two players in the final, so they feel that this gold medal should be no problem.

Unfortunately, the Japanese team still did not give the Chinese team the slightest chance, Tomita Naoya won the gold medal in the men's 200m breaststroke, and the Chinese team only won a silver medal, which was tied with the South Korean team.

Well, breaststroke is not the strong point of the Chinese team, let's look at the women's event.

Next up is the women's 50m butterfly, which is the last event for the women.

Although the Chinese team has a great advantage in the women's butterfly event, the women's 50-meter butterfly, because there is a lot of chance, so the gold medal in this event in the last Asian Games was not won by the Chinese team, but Tao Li from Singapore, Tao Li can be said to be the biggest opponent of the Chinese team.

The Chinese team also sent strong players this time, Jiao Liuyang and Lu Ying.

Jiao Liuyang has already won three gold medals in the 100m butterfly, 200m butterfly and 100m medley relay, and if she can also win the gold medal in the 50m butterfly, she will become a quadruple champion.

Lu Ying swam first in the preliminaries, so Lu Ying's strength should not be underestimated.

However, in the game, everything changed.

After the starting gun sounded, Jiao Liuyang, Lu Ying and Tao Li all reacted at 0.71 seconds, followed by Japan's Yuka Kato at 0.74 seconds.

In the first half, the four players can be said to go hand in hand, but in the second half, Tao Li's advantage gradually emerged.

In the end, Tao Li took the lead in touching the wall with an excellent arrival to the side, with a time of 26.10 seconds, Kato Yuka ranked second with a difference of 0.17 seconds, Lu Ying ranked third with 26.29 seconds, and Jiao Liu Yang only won the fourth place, unfortunately missing the medal.

The last women's swimming event of the Chinese team did not end well, which also made many people feel a little disappointed, especially Zhou Yafei who was sitting in the commentary seat.

Zhou Yafei lost to Tao Li in the last Doha Asian Games and was the runner-up, but she didn't expect to fight locally, but she still didn't defeat Tao Li.

In this way, the women's swimming events of this Asian Games are all over, and the women's swimming team only lost two gold medals in the 200-meter breaststroke and 50-meter butterfly, which also proves that the strength of the Chinese women's swimming team is still very strong in Asia, and it basically belongs to the mode of crushing opponents.
