Chapter 632: The results of the international swimming world are soaring
The audience couldn't help but stand up at this time and gave Guo Zizhao the warmest applause.
It's so enjoyable! It's so exciting! From being half an arm's length behind his opponent to finally winning the championship with a margin of about 1 meter ahead of his opponent. Guo Zizhao staged a real fast and furious performance in the last 50 meters of this short distance!
And Guo Zizhao also excitedly took off his swimming cap and goggles after the game, sat on the lane separation line and cheered! Ha ha...... Lao Tzu said, with his current strength, this champion is hand-to-hand!
In the swimming event, my weakest strength is the 200-meter freestyle, and now that the championship of this final is in hand, the other two events are much easier!
Hey...... Lao Tzu's 2,500 experience points are finally not in vain! And that "Powerful Advanced Follow Sprint Skill"! I spent so much to redeem a 200-meter freestyle event, if I didn't win the championship this time, wouldn't it be a big loss!
Ha ha...... Lao Tzu finally got his wish! Glad!
Guo Zizhao also turned his head to look at Phelps, who had a stinky face, and also laughed proudly. Hey...... Let your turtle son blow his shell outside, and want to win 8 gold medals on Lao Tzu's territory, dream of it! In the previous life, I have already made your baby beautiful for such a time, and in this life, with Lao Tzu here, your baby will not even think about it!
At this time, the audience also cheered again in the voice of the commentator, "Guo Zizhao! Guo Zizhao won the championship of this final with an absolute advantage. The results are out! Let's take a look at Guo Zizhao's results in winning the championship this time! 1:42.00! ”
"1:42.00! Record! Guo Zizhao has set a new world record again! ”
"Guo Zizhao! Guo Zizhao improved his world record of 1:42.10 set at the Olympic trials in early April by 0.1 seconds again! This is really a great result, just a little bit, Guo Zizhao can become the first player to break 1 minute and 42 seconds in this event! ”
"Phelps' time this time is also quite outstanding, 1:42.90! Phelps failed to win, but he swam his own personal best, becoming only the second athlete to swim 1 minute and 43 seconds in the event after Guo Zizhao. ”
"We didn't see much joy on Phelps' face, though. After all, this defeat at the hands of Guo Zizhao broke Phelps' desire to win 8 gold medals before this Olympics again! But even so, Phelps is a world-class swimmer who deserves everyone's respect! ”
"The third place was won by South Korean star Park Taeheng with a time of 1:44.85! This is his second medal of the Games! ”
……
With the arrival of Guo Zizhao's gold medal, the hanging hearts of Deputy Director Shang Xiutang and Head Coach Zhang Dongya finally fell back into their stomachs.
"Good, good! Now we have two gold medals in the men's swimming event. It seems that the gold medals in the 50-meter and 100-meter freestyle can't be run! ”
"That's, it's still Guo Zizhao who is reassuring!" Head Coach Zhang Dongya also sighed, "However, in the next competition, the men's event will not have the strength to win gold except for Guo Zizhao, Shi Runqiang's 50 self, Chen Zheng's 100 self, Wu Peng's 200 butterfly, and Sun Yangyang's 1500 self, these players can enter the finals and be considered successful." The rest is just to see the performance of the women's event......"
"Hmm...... Oh, yes! The progress of the women's swimming event in the past two years is a little slower than that of the men's event! Shang Xiutang also nodded, "Liu Zige, Jiao Liu Yang, Zhou Yafei, Pang Jiaying, Gao Chang, Zhao Jing, and Yang Yu, although these girls all have the strength to win medals, but from the current point of view, they all lack the domineering spirit that Luo Xue had back then!" ”
"Yes! However, after the experience of this Olympic Games, I hope they will be able to swim out as well! There is already a Zhang Lin in the men's team, and I hope the women's team can also kill a leader this time! ”
"Haha...... There's still hope! Walk...... Guo Zizhao is out, let's go and congratulate again! ”
Although the duel between Guo Zizhao and Phelps is over, the debate over who will be the player with the most gold medals in this Olympic Games has not stopped.
Phelps' dream of eight gold medals has been shattered, but he still has the absolute ability to win gold in the remaining swimming events. Even if he can't win 8 golds, Phelps will win 7 gold medals, which is a great possibility to surpass the 6 golds and 2 bronzes of the last Olympics!
As for Guo Zizhao, judging from his performance in the international track and field arena more than half a month ago, the gold medals in the other 6 individual events seem to have long been in his pocket! However, in the men's sprint relay event, Guo Zizhao has to face a lot of pressure!
The Chinese relay team's disastrous defeat at the World Championships in Osaka last year is still vivid, and the Jamaican team and the United States team have made progress in the sprint event in the past two years......
Tut-tut...... It seems that the competition between Guo Zizhao and Phelps has not yet come to an end! Perhaps, after the end of this Olympic Games, the two may have a draw again!
……
While the media was still speculating, in the final final this morning, Phelps and his teammates once again proved the strength of the United States team as a whole.
In the final of the men's 4x100m freestyle, Phelps and his teammates worked together to win the championship with a time of 3:08.24 and set a new world record! With Phelps' second Olympic gold medal in hand, there are more media outlets that are optimistic about the American swimming prodigy.
However, Guo Zizhao was a little unimpressed by this, hehe...... My main project has not yet arrived! After the track and field competition starts in a few days, Lao Tzu wants you to see what it means to win the championship!
At half past six in the evening, the preliminaries of the men's 100-meter freestyle officially began.
The Chinese team still sent Guo Zizhao and Chen Zheng to play. For Guo Zizhao, everyone is naturally very relieved, as for Chen Zheng, it is a bit suspenseful at present!
At last year's Melbourne World Swimming Championships, Chen Zheng unexpectedly broke into the final with a time of 48.89 seconds, which also greatly encouraged everyone. Now, Chen Zheng's strength has long been stable within 49 seconds, but this time it is even more difficult to enter the finals again!
The reason is also very simple, although Chen Zheng has improved, but other masters in the international swimming world have made greater progress! In previous years, the only players who could swim under 48 seconds were Guo Zizhao and Hoganband, but this year, there are already several people who have swam into this field.
In particular, the French star Bernard and the Australian star Sullivan are the best among them. Bernard had a best time of 47.50 seconds this year, and Sullivan's best time was 47.64 seconds.
In addition, the comeback veteran Flying Fish Hockenband, the American star Rezak, the Canadian star Hayden and the Swedish veteran Nystrand and others now have the strength to swim within 48 seconds, let alone within 49 seconds......
Sure enough, when the results of the preliminaries of all 9 groups came out, everyone was shocked. Your sister, it's not that you don't understand, the world is changing too fast......
Among the 16 finalists, Sullivan topped the list in 47.80 seconds, while Nestland and Hayden finished second and third in 47.83 and 47.84 seconds, respectively. France's Bernard ranked 4th with a time of 47.90 seconds, while Guo Zizhao's time of 48.02 seconds was only in 5th place, and the Dutch Flying Fish Hockenband's time of 48.84 seconds was ranked 12th!
Chen Zheng's luck is good, ranking last with a time of 48.96 seconds, just entering the threshold of the semi-finals!
As soon as this result came out, not only did all the media reporters be surprised, but even Guo Zizhao and Hoganband, the two former "world's No. 1 flying fish", were also taken aback! No way...... That's a ridiculous improvement! You know, at last year's World Championships, the runner-up time was only 48.43 seconds!
Especially Hoganband, who also patted his chest and secretly rejoiced that your sister was ...... These animals are so desperate in the preliminaries! Lao Tzu finally made a comeback this year, and if he couldn't even make it to the semifinals, it would be a real fucking shame!
