Chapter 533: Fifty-meter freestyle preliminaries
Although Sun Shiner said that the gold medal in the relay is more important, and the individual gold medal is not as good as defeating the Japanese team, Sun Shiner has never thought of giving up the individual event. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the fifth day of competition, Sun Shine will still compete, and he will compete in the men's 100m freestyle.
Joining Sun Shiner was Lu Zhiwu, a teenager who fought alongside Sun in both the men's 50m freestyle and the men's 100m freestyle relay events, and achieved good results.
A total of 41 contestants will compete in six groups, with the top eight finishers qualifying for the finals in the evening.
The biggest opponent for the Chinese in the event is still from Japan, and the two members of the Japanese team, Takuro Fujii and Sho Uchida, have also played against the Chinese team.
Among them, Takuro Fujii is not only the current leader of all competitors in 49.12 seconds, but he is also the Asian record holder in this event, and another Japanese star Sho Uchida is also very capable of rushing for gold.
In addition, South Korean swimming genius Park Tae-hwan also participated in this event, although Park Tae-hwan was trapped by the overall strength of the Korean team, in the first two relay races, did not get good results, but his personal results are not very bad, in the men's 200-meter freestyle competition, he and Sun Shi Nee also played, of course, it is a pity to lose.
The preliminaries were divided into six groups, and the number of people in each group was different, and the first group only had three competitors in the competition, and the level of the competitors was not very high, and in the end Mohammed Ali Mahmoud from Qatar ranked first in the group with a time of 59.48 seconds, although this result had little hope of advancing to the final.
The six competitors in the second group were still mediocre, but Li Zhuofeng from Macau, China, won the group with a time of 53.75 seconds, although this time was still not competitive.
The third group was more normal, with a total of eight competitors participating, with India's Virdavarfkram Kad taking first place in 51.25 seconds.
South Korean star Park Tae-hwan played in the fourth group, Park Tae-hwan's main event is not the men's 100-meter freestyle, but Park Tae-hwan's strength is not weak, in yesterday's men's 100-meter freestyle relay competition, the South Korean team only won the third place, but Park Tae-hwan's personal results are ranked second among all athletes, the first place is, of course, Sun Shine, so Park Tae-hwan is in good shape now. Sure enough, Park Tae-hwan finally won the first place in the group with a time of 49.85 seconds and successfully won the ticket to the final in the evening.
Sun Shine, who has won four crowns at the Asian Games and broke the Asian record in four consecutive finals, made his fourth appearance in Group 5, along with Japan's Sho Uchida.
Sho Uchida played against Sun Shiner once yesterday, and they were both the last baton of the men's 100m freestyle relay.
This is just a preliminary match, Uchida Sho did not want to compete with Sun Shine, because he can't compare to Sun Shine at all, in the end, Sun Shine very easily touched the wall in 49.91 seconds, won the first place in the group, and the overall score temporarily ranked second, but this result was enough for him to enter the finals.
Lu Zhiwu, who won the second place in the 50m freestyle and the gold medal in the 100m freestyle relay, appeared in the sixth group, along with Lu Zhiwu and the Japanese star Takuro Fujii, the creator of this year's best Asian result.
The duel between China and Japan began in the preliminaries, and in the last preliminaries, Sun Shiner easily defeated Uchida Sho, and in this preliminaries, Lu Zhiwu did not want to lose to Takuro Fujii.
From the beginning of the race, the two were far ahead, although the two looked aggressive, but the two of them did not, and in the end, the two who had reserved their strength tied for the first place in the group with the same time of 50.27 seconds, and both won tickets to the evening final.
In the overall rankings, South Korea's Park Tae-hwan ranked first with a time of 49.85 seconds, Son Shi-ne and Lu Zhiwu ranked second and third, Japan's Takuro Fujii and Sho Uchida ranked fourth and fifth, and Chinese Taipei's Wang Shao'an, South Korea's Park Min-kwan and Hong Kong's Huang Kaiwei ranked sixth to eighth, all qualified for the evening final.
At this point, all the seats for the men's 100m freestyle final were born.
After Sun Shiner finished the game, he was about to go back, but he was blocked by reporters again.
"Isn't that right?" Sun Shine said helplessly to the reporters.
"Just answer two more questions." Yesterday, the reporters finally got a little news from Sun Shine's mouth, which instantly detonated Chinese sports fans.
"Alright then, you ask, I can't guarantee that I'll answer." Sun Shine shook his head and said.
"What do you think of your performance in the preliminaries?" A reporter asked.
"It's okay, I'm in the final anyway, and of course you can't expect me to break the record in the preliminaries, right?" Sun Shine replied with a smile.
Everyone knows this, as long as you can enter the finals, as for the score, it really doesn't matter.
"Do you think you're fit to hold on?" This is the current general opinion, I feel that Sun Shiner has participated in too many games, and it is estimated that the physical reserves may not be enough.
"That's a question you should ask someone else." Sun Shi Ne did not answer this question.
"Why?" The journalists were puzzled.
"Yesterday Park Tae-hwan participated in the relay race, Lu Zhiwu also participated, Takuro Fujii and Sho Uchida participated, why don't you ask them?" Sun Shine asked more suspiciously.
The reporters were speechless for an instant, this is indeed a problem, Sun Shine is similar to the game they participated in, why does everyone think that Sun Shine's physical fitness will not work?
"So who do you think your main opponent is in today's final?" Another reporter asked.
"In fact, to be able to enter the finals, everyone's level is not low, if I insist on saying who is better, I think Park Tae-hwan and Lu Ji-wu will be my main opponents." Sun Shine called the names of the two.
Lu Zhiwu performed well in this year's Asian Games, Sun Shin and he are teammates, it is not an exaggeration to say, Park Tae-hwan's performance is also very good, as the main opponent is no problem, but the key question is why there are no Japanese players?
"What about Takuro Fujii and Sho Uchida?" The reporters hurriedly asked.
"Oh, you can try to get a medal." Sun Shiner shrugged and replied.
