Chapter 724: Reincarnation! Climb to the top!
Just before the start of the competition on the evening of July 30, the total number of gold medals of the Chinese swimming team was only 2, but after the end of the day's competition, the total number of gold medals of the Chinese swimming team soared to 5.
5 gold medals! At present, it is already on an equal footing with the powerful U.S. swimming team!
Everyone gasped when they saw the results of the Chinese team, this World Swimming Championships is not over yet, with the current strength of the Chinese team, at least Guo Zizhao's gold medal in the men's 50-meter freestyle event can also be securely obtained. In this way, at this World Championships, the Chinese team has at least 6 gold medals!
Hiss...... This result is enough to leave the old swimming powerhouses such as Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands far behind! This result is not only reminiscent of the 1994 World Swimming Championships in Rome 15 years ago. It was also here that the Chinese swimming team won a total of 12 gold medals and topped the gold medal list in one fell swoop.
It's just that since that World Championships, the Chinese swimming team has fallen into a trough because of the doping scandal, and it is better to win 2 or 3 gold medals every time.
Especially in the last two World Championships, even with Guo Zizhao's participation, the results of the Chinese swimming team have fallen to the lowest level in history. At the last World Championships in Melbourne, the Chinese swimming team only won a gold medal thanks to Guo Zizhao, setting the worst record in the World Championships in 16 years.
But I didn't expect that this time, the Chinese swimming team returned to Rome after 15 years, and it actually rose again! And this time, the Chinese swimming team did not only rely on the women's event to win the championship, but also on the men's event, and it did not only rely on Guo Zizhao to win the championship. That's the most surprising part......
Deputy Director Shang Xiutang was also very excited when he thought of this! Hey...... At the beginning, I waited for the manpower to invite Guo Zizhao into the swimming team, wasn't it just for this day? In the past, the Chinese swimming team only relied on women's events to support the scene, and the Chinese swimming team has always had no influence! Only the common development of men's and women's sports can promote the overall progress of China's swimming performance!
It was already the first results at last year's Beijing Olympics, and this year's World Championships in Rome is the harvest season! Hey...... I hope that when the World Championships in the Magic Capital are held two years later, it will be a bigger harvest!
……
The competition on July 31 was even less difficult for Guo Zizhao, who just went to participate in the preliminaries and semifinals of the men's 50-meter freestyle in the morning and evening.
21.41 seconds! 21.19 seconds!
Guo Zizhao only used the two skills of "Shocking Leap" and "Strong Advanced Sprint" once, and easily broke into the finals on the second day, and still occupied the top position in the semifinals.
Another Chinese player, Lu Zhiwu, also barely squeezed into the semifinals with a time of 21.90 seconds. It's just that Guo Zizhao looks at Lu Zhiwu's strength, and it is estimated that he is about the same as Chen Zheng, and it will be the end of the semifinals. Alas...... It seems that after he retires, if the Chinese team wants to rise again in the men's 100m and 50m freestyle events, it will have to wait until Ning Zetao grows up!
On the evening of August 1, Guo Zizhao walked into the arena again to compete for his last gold medal at this World Swimming Championships.
In addition to Guo Zizhao, France's Bosquet and Lever, Brazil's Junior Cielo, Sweden's Nistrand and Croatian veteran Dragania who performed well in the semi-finals are also gearing up, and everyone is also preparing to fight again in the last event of the short distance freestyle at this World Championships.
It's just that these players are also self-aware, with Guo Zizhao here, there is no suspense about the champion of this final, and everyone is aiming for the runner-up in this final.
And this time, among these opponents, it is still Brazil's Junior Cielo who has the last laugh. The Brazilian finally broke out of the crowd with a powerful sprint in the last 10 meters or so, and won another silver medal with a time of 21.08 seconds!
The two French players, Bosquet and Lever, ranked third and fourth with a time of 21.21 and 21.25 seconds respectively, and lost to Guo Zizhao and Xiao Xielo.
As for the champion of this final, it naturally belongs to Guo Zizhao. Relying on the double attack of the two skills of "earth-shattering jump" and "strong advanced sprint", Guo Zizhao reached the finish line first with a time of 20.79 seconds, and also broke the world record of 20.86 seconds set by himself at the Beijing Olympics last year!
……
Watching Guo Zizhao win the championship again, the audience and media reporters couldn't help but sigh.
Tut-tut...... Take a look at Guo Zizhao's coquettish results at this Rome World Swimming Championships......
1:41.61!
46.69 seconds!
20.79 seconds!
Guo Zizhao not only easily won the championship in three events, but also broke his world record again. In addition, Guo Zizhao also became the only athlete in the world to swim 1 minute and 42 seconds in the 200m freestyle, 46.90 seconds in the 100m freestyle and 21 seconds in the 50m freestyle.
In particular, to everyone's shock, Guo Zizhao actually set these world records without wearing a high-tech swimsuit. This is an incredible miracle in today's international swimming world, where almost everyone must wear high-tech swimsuits.
It's just that he didn't expect Guo Zizhao to retire bravely at his peak and choose to retire at the end of the year. It seems that in the future, Guo Zizhao's passionate crazy sprint will never be seen in the international swimming world again!
Alas...... It's a shame...... However, now in the case of high-tech swimsuits, Guo Zizhao has no opponents, if he waits for the ban on high-tech swimsuits next year, then Guo Zizhao will be even more unrivaled? No wonder Guo Zizhao is also retiring!
Everyone shook their heads helplessly when they thought of this, alas...... Is this the so-called master style, after beating all the invincible opponents in the world, he will return to the mountains and forests?
Just when everyone was still in YY, the women of the Chinese swimming team who came on the field again teamed up to present a wonderful relay battle for everyone.
In the relay race of the women's 4x100m medley, four Chinese athletes defeated their old rival Australia with a time of 3:52.19, adding another gold medal to the Chinese team!
Hiss...... At this moment, everyone began to be calm again.
Your Sister's ...... 2 gold medals! After winning 3 gold medals yesterday, the Chinese team actually won 2 gold medals again today. This time, the total number of gold medals of the Chinese swimming team has reached 7! Even compared to the powerful U.S. swimming team, it is now only one step behind!
With the current total number of gold medals, even if the Chinese swimming team does not gain anything on the last day of competition, it is enough to sit in the second place in the swimming gold medal list. If you add the 7 gold medals won by the Chinese diving team in the early stage, then the entire Chinese sports delegation has won 14 gold medals in this World Swimming Championships!
Hiss...... Damn, 14 gold medals! The U.S. team, which is now ranked second in the overall gold medal list, only has 9 gold medals! Even on the last day of competition, no matter how good the American team is, it is impossible to win 5 gold medals!
I'll go...... In this way, the Chinese team will steadily win the championship of the overall gold medal list of this World Championships with a total of 14 gold medals!
No way...... That's a huge achievement! This is after the 7th World Championships in Rome in 1994, the Chinese team once again ranked first in the overall gold medal list!
15 years of reincarnation, I didn't expect that this time, the Chinese team still managed to reach the top in Rome!
