Chapter 658: One Step Away
The champion, the champion of the men's 200-meter freestyle relay, this championship is simply a shot in the arm for the Chinese team??? ? Huoran? Wen?? ???.? r?a?n?? e?n`org
Although the Chinese team won more championships in front, most of them were single events, and the men's events were mainly focused on Sun Shine and Sun Yang.
The gold medal in this relay event can be said to prove that in addition to Sun Shine and Sun Yang, China has other good athletes.
And this relay championship is even more valuable than the men's 100m freestyle relay championship, because it set a world record.
Why is the U.S. men's swimming team called strong? And it's not just because they have won more titles, the world records in all three events of the men's relay are held by the United States.
No matter how good Germany's Biedermann is, he can only win the singles event, but he can't shake the world record in the relay event.
Now, this record has finally been broken by the Chinese team, which is also extremely rare in the world.
"It's a victory, and the U.S. team's dominance in the pool is being broken little by little." Zhou Yafei's lifelong wish is to stand on the top podium, but unfortunately, she really rarely wins this honor on the world stage.
Now these young people have helped Zhou Yafei fulfill this wish.
Han Qiaosheng seemed to remember something, "This is Sun Shine's sixth gold medal, right?" ”
"Yes." Zhou Yafei was stunned for a moment, this is indeed Sun Shine's sixth gold medal.
"The player who has won the most gold medals in a single World Championships is ......," Han Qiaosheng still wanted to look for information.
Zhou Yafei blurted out, "Phelps." ”
"Phelps in the United States." Han Qiaosheng knows that Phelps is one of the athletes who has won the most gold medals in a single Summer Olympics, and the other is Sun Shine.
"At the 2001 World Championships in Fukuoka, Australia's Thorpe created a miracle of six gold medals in a single World Championships, and then, at the 2007 World Championships in Melbourne, Phelps created the feat of seven gold medals in a single World Championships, surpassing Thorpe to become the record holder." Zhou Yafei gave a detailed account of the players who won the most gold medals at the World Championships.
"Sun Shiner has now won six gold medals." Han Qiaosheng was still a little excited.
"Yes, Sun has caught up with Thorpe and become the third athlete to win six gold medals in a single World Championships." This is a perfect reflection of personal strength.
"I remember that Sun Shiner seemed to have participated in a lot of competitions in this World Championships." Han Qiaosheng can't remember the specific number.
"It's nine projects." Zhou Yafei remembers clearly that Sun Shine participated in a total of nine competitions.
"That means that Sun Shine still has three projects that he hasn't participated in?" Han Qiaosheng was happy in his heart, in this case, Sun Shine still has a chance to catch up, or surpass Phelps.
"Sun Shiner also has the 50m freestyle, 100m butterfly and 100m medley relay, and Sun Shiner is now in the final of the 50m freestyle and 100m butterfly, and I think he has a better chance of winning the gold in these two events." Zhou Yafei still said with certainty.
Don't look at the two gold medals won by the Chinese team in the relay event, they are both freestyle relays, the freestyle reserve of the Chinese team is still okay, the medley test is the four major swimming styles, the butterfly and freestyle of the Chinese team are okay, the backstroke is also okay, and the breaststroke is not good, so Zhou Yafei thinks that it is very difficult for the Chinese team to win the gold medal in the medley relay.
However, if Sun can win the 50m freestyle and 100m butterfly, it is perfectly possible to surpass Phelps to become the first man in the World Championships.
Han Qiaosheng and both of them saw this problem, so other people must have seen it too, so in the post-game interview, there were still many reporters who asked this question.
"Hello, first of all, congratulations on winning the gold medal in the men's 200m freestyle relay and breaking the world record." Of course, the reporter still wants to congratulate Sun Shine.
"Thank you." Sun Shine said modestly.
"What do you think is the reason for your victory?" The journalist threw out a question.
"I think it's good, but it's not about me personally, the other players are doing really well and in good shape, so it's a fluke to be able to break the record." Sun still attributed the record-breaking to luck.
"Some people say that you are responsible for winning this gold medal." The reporter still brought up Sun Shine, after all, at the last moment, everyone saw very clearly that if it weren't for Sun Shine, if he was replaced by other players, it was really possible to be surpassed by Rochette.
"I can't say that, without everyone's efforts, I can't do it alone." Sun Shine still emphasizes the power of the collective.
"It's your sixth gold medal, isn't it?"
"Yes." Sun Shine remembers, six events, six gold medals.
"Do you know who has won the most gold medals in a single World Swimming Championships?" The reporter asked suddenly.
Sun Shine was stunned for a moment, and then replied simply: "It seems to be Phelps, right?" ”
"Yes, it's your old rival, Phelps, who set the record of seven gold medals at the 2007 World Championships in Melbourne and no one has broken so far." The meaning of the journalist is very obvious.
"You're just one gold medal away from Phelps now, and you have three games left, do you think you can catch up, or even surpass Phelps?" The reporter continued to ask.
Six gold medals, and seven gold medals, this gap does not seem to be big, but if you want to do it, it is very difficult, Sun Shine of course wants to surpass Phelps, in the Olympics, he just caught up with Phelps, and now he really wants to surpass Phelps.
'It's certainly a goal for me to surpass Phelps, but at the moment I just want to play every game.' Sun Shine's answer can be described as decent, and there is nothing bad about it.
Of course, the imagination of reporters is very rich, although Sun Shine did not say anything bad, but when it comes to their pen, it is to say everything, of course, everything is made up by the brain.
Therefore, in addition to introducing the Chinese team's record-breaking gold medal in the men's 200m freestyle, the news of the day reported that Sun Shiner won six golds, one step away from Phelps' record.
And Sun Shine's post-game interview was also considered by everyone to be a declaration of war against Phelps.
Phelps is also very depressed now, with Sun Shine's current strength, it doesn't seem to be too difficult to surpass him, but Phelps is not giving up, they still have a duel tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
