Chapter 611: A good start
The evening began with the final of the men's 400m freestyle.
The first gold medal of this World Championships will be born here, and Sun Yang will also hit the gold medal in this event.
This game is full of masters, and Sun Yang has no chance of winning.
Sun Yang finished in the fourth lane with his outstanding performance in the preliminaries.
The remaining few strong opponents, South Korea's Park Tae-hwan, are in the first row.
Biederman, the last World Championships champion and world record holder in this event, is in the third lane.
Second place in the preliminaries went to Van Dekay from the United States, who was placed in lane 5.
Melori, the runner-up and ****** runner-up at the last World Championships, was in lane six.
The European Championship champion, Frenchman Agnel, was in lane seven.
These people are all strong opponents of Sun Yang, and Sun Yang's strength is not very dominant.
"Hello everyone, the first swimming gold medal in the World Championships will be decided tonight, which is the gold medal in the men's 400m freestyle." Han Qiaosheng began tonight's commentary.
"In the men's 400-meter freestyle, my country sent Sun Yang, Sun Yang is the runner-up in the Asian Games in this event, and he still has a certain strength to impact the medals." Zhou Yafei is still very conservative and did not say that she will hit the gold medal.
"There are still a lot of strong opponents in this event, and there is no easy one to compete in the finals." Han Qiaosheng used a more apt word.
"Yes, Park Tae-hwan was the champion of the men's 400-meter freestyle at the Asian Games, and he defeated Sun Yang to win the gold medal in this event at that time." Zhou Yafei began to introduce athletes one by one.
"Biederman in the third lane is the defending champion and the world record holder in this event, and is the favorite to win the title."
"The fifth lane is the American player Van Dekay, who finished second in the preliminaries."
"Liudao is Melori from ******, who was also the runner-up in this event at the last World Championships."
"The seventh lane is the European Championship champion of the event, the Frenchman Agnel."
Zhou Yafei introduced a favorite who may win the championship in one breath.
"These people are the best in this project and a strong contender for the championship in this project." Han Qiaosheng added a sentence later.
"In fact, Sun Yang's strength is not inferior to them at all, as long as Sun Yang can give full play to his strength, I don't think he has the slightest problem winning a medal, and he will be able to impact the gold medal." Zhou Yafei was still a little bolder.
However, what Zhou Yafei said is also true, Sun Yang really has the ability to fight for a gold medal.
"What does Yafei think Sun Yang's advantage is?" Han Qiaosheng asked curiously.
"Sun Yang's main event is the 1500-meter freestyle, so his back-up explosiveness is very strong, so as long as Sun Yang doesn't pull too hard in front and exerts his strength in the back, he really has a good place to win." Zhou Yafei said Sun Yang's advantages.
"Okay, the game is about to start." Han Qiaosheng glanced at the arena, and now he is still introducing the players, as soon as Sun Yang appeared, he immediately ushered in a wave of cheers, after all, it is a local battle, and this advantage is still there.
All eight were ready for the game.
After the gunshots rang out, the eight heroes jumped into the water in unison.
As Zhou Yafei said, Sun Yang did not occupy much of an advantage in front.
Dominating the front is Park Tae-hwan.
In the first 50 meters, Park Tae-hwan was temporarily in first place with 25.72 seconds, while Sun Yang did not even enter the top three.
"Sun Yang's future is still a little worse, but it doesn't matter, his future explosion is still very powerful." Zhou Yafei watched the game and continued.
After turning around, Sun Yang began to exert a little force, and the effect of his force was quite obvious, when he touched the wall at a hundred meters, Sun Yang's position had become the third, that is to say, he was the third to touch the wall.
And the first to touch the wall is still Park Tae-hwan, Park Tae-hwan's condition is really good.
Biederman's performance was not very good either.
The race was very intense, and every fifty meters changed.
There was no change in Park Tae-hwan's position, and he was in the lead all the time, but after the end of the 150m, Son Yang's place was replaced by Frenchman Agnel.
Agnel is the champion of the European Championships, and he is also a new star, the youngest of the eight people who participated in the final, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, so Agnel's performance is also very vigorous.
After 200 meters of halfway, Agnel actually overtook Park Tae-hwan and ranked first with a time of 1:50.96, 0.06 seconds ahead of Park Tae-hwan.
Although everyone also regarded Agnel as the favorite to win the championship before the game, everyone really did not expect Agnel to occupy the first position.
In the 250m, Agnel was still in the lead, while Canadian Cochran chased for second place.
"It's a great game, every moment there is a change of position, and it's really hard for me to imagine what the outcome of the game will be." Zhou Yafei really didn't expect that the current situation was so intense, although Sun Yang didn't seem to be in the top three, the gap between him and the front was not very big.
As we entered the 300 meters, the situation changed again.
Agnel, who had been leading for a while, was finally snatched back the first place by Park Taehuan, who chased the first place in 2:47.79, while Sun Yang still hasn't entered the top three.
"There are still the last 100 meters, and Sun Yang is about to start accelerating." Zhou Yafei said very experienced.
Indeed, Sun Yang began to accelerate.
At 350 meters, Park Taehuan was still the first to touch the wall, his lead was more rice, and Sun Yang also chased the third place, but Sun Yang was more than a second away from Park Taehuan, and it was not easy to catch up.
"Come on, Sun Yang." Zhou Yafei couldn't help but say.
The final sprint began.
Park Tae-hwan is still ahead, and his lead is huge, basically unbeatable, and he has to be the first place.
Now the focus of the whole court is between Sun Yang and Biederman, who fought fiercely for a silver medal, Sun Yang's speed was so fast that he quickly overtook Biedermann and suppressed Biederman's counterattack.
"Okay, Sun Yang is doing well, continue to maintain this speed." Zhou Yafei shouted beside her.
Sun Yang withstood the last pressure and touched the wall for the second time, winning the second place in the men's 400m freestyle.
The champion was Park Tae-hwan, and Son Yang lost to Park Tae-hwan again.
Biedermann, on the other hand, had to finish third.
"We congratulate Sun Yang on winning the silver medal in the men's 400m freestyle at the World Championships." This result is already a good result, and it can be regarded as a good start.
Sun Yang was still a little disappointed, but fortunately, the 400m was not his main event, so Sun Yang's mood did not become very bad. '
