In this Beijing Olympics, Guo Zizhao participated in a total of 8 events. In addition to the men's 100m, 200m, 400m and 110m hurdles, there are also men's 50m, 100m and 200m freestyle events in the swimming events. Finally, it's time for the men's 4x100m sprint relay!

And Phelps's participation in the same event as Guo Zizhao expected this time, he also participated in 8 events, namely the men's 100m and 200m butterfly, 200m and 400m medley, 200m freestyle, as well as 4x100m freestyle relay, 4x100m medley relay and 4x200m freestyle relay!

Therefore, the only event that the two have crossed paths is the men's 200-meter freestyle. Since Guo Zizhao and Phelps' participation in the event was exposed, who can become the player who has won the most gold medals in this Olympic Games has also become the focus of all media discussions.

Both of them were originally super overlords in their respective fields, and they were also super gold medal harvesters. However, since Guo Zizhao suddenly crossed over to play swimming at the Athens Olympics, everything has changed.

At the Athens Olympics, Guo Zizhao, like Phelps, won 6 Olympic gold medals, and together became the athlete with the most gold medals in that Olympics! It's just that at that time, there was still no intersection between the two competitions.

But in the eyes of the media, since Phelps announced in a high-profile manner last year that he would win eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics, it seems to have stimulated Guo Zizhao.

At the domestic Olympic trials at the beginning of this year, Guo Zizhao participated in the 50-meter and 100-meter freestyle events in addition to the swimming events, and quietly added a 200-meter freestyle event. And this event is also one of the events that Phelps will participate in the Beijing Olympics!

Hiss...... All the sports media were also excited after seeing Guo Zizhao's move.

That's a shout! This is Guo Zizhao's silent call! With Guo Zizhao's personality, since he dares to come out to compete, he must be sure of winning the championship in the Olympic Games! In the end, Guo Zizhao's winning result of 1:42.10 also amazed the world swimming world......

This time, it's a good show!

……

And Phelps was also depressed after seeing Guo Zizhao's results in the men's 200m freestyle event a few months ago.

I have been practicing ambitiously for a year or two, and finally selected 5 individual projects that I am sure to win the championship, but I didn't expect Guo Zizhao to give himself such a hand!

The 100-meter and 200-meter butterfly, 200-meter and 400-meter medley are their strongest events, and they are also the events in which they are absolutely sure to win the championship. But his advantage in the 200-meter freestyle event is not so obvious!

At the last Athens Olympics, he only won a bronze medal in the 200m freestyle, losing to Thorpe and Hockenband, who were in full swing at the time.

Just after the Athens Olympics, Phelps had achieved absolute superiority in the butterfly and medley events, so he began to focus on the freestyle events, from 50 meters to 400 meters of freestyle, Phelps tried them one by one.

Phelps even competed in the 100m, 200m and 400m freestyle events at the 2005 World Championships in Montreal to test his results. It's just that what made Phelps depressed was that his 400-meter freestyle was eliminated in the preliminaries, and although the 100-meter freestyle broke into the finals, under Guo Zizhao's strong strength, he could only win the last place.

Therefore, Phelps also stopped thinking about competing with Guo Zizhao in the short-distance freestyle event, and focused on the 200-meter freestyle event in which Guo Zizhao did not participate.

In the past two years, although with the gradual improvement of strength, coupled with the retirement and aging of Thorpe and Hockenband, Phelps has also achieved very good results in the 200m freestyle, and even won two world championships, and also set a new world record. However, Phelps also knew in his heart that he did not achieve absolute dominance in this event like the butterfly and medley.

Now that Guo Zizhao suddenly came to such a hand, Phelps is also secretly regretting it. Alas...... I blamed myself for being too carried away after winning the championship, and I actually forgot that the Chinese team still has such a monster as Guo Zizhao! If you are fine, you are clamoring to win 8 gold medals in this Olympic Games, isn't that a slap in the face of Guo Zizhao?

This is good, Guo Zizhao actually signed up for 8 competitions, and there is also a competition that is the same as himself, that is, his weakest 200-meter freestyle, which makes him a little sitting!

In particular, Guo Zizhao's amazing time of 1:42.10 in the 200-meter freestyle event not only broke the world record he set just last year, but also improved the world record by nearly 2 seconds!

……

Hiss...... Thinking of this, Phelps also felt a little headache. As for Guo Zizhao's strength in the sprint freestyle, Phelps has never doubted.

Although Guo Zizhao does not participate in many international swimming competitions, he must break the world record every time he makes a shot. Phelps even doubted that if Guo Zizhao regarded swimming as his main event, he probably wouldn't have anything to do with himself.

It's not good! I guess this time I will be like the last Athens Olympics, and my dream of winning 8 Olympic gold medals will be shattered again!

At this time, Phelps also looked intently at Guo Zizhao, who lit the flame at the opening ceremony, his eyes were full of envy and a trace of jealousy. If only I had such a beautiful day in the future......

Hum...... Although you Guo Zizhao are powerful, I won't admit defeat so easily! At the World Championships in Montreal three years ago, I lost to you in the 100m freestyle, so this time, let's compete again in the 200m freestyle!

On August 9, the competition of the Beijing Olympic Games will officially kick off, and the first events will still start shooting, weightlifting, judo, cycling, fencing and swimming.

For other competitions, Guo Zizhao didn't care too much about it this time. Hey...... According to the memory of his previous life, in this Beijing Olympic Games, Chinese athletes won 51 gold medals in one fell swoop, and for the first time they reached the top of the gold medal list with a huge advantage! What else do you have to worry about......

No, in this life, it should be said that the Chinese team has successfully won the top position in the gold medal list for the second time! In the last Athens Olympic Games, with their help, the Chinese team has historically won the first place in the gold medal list!

Hey...... This time in the Beijing Olympics, it will be much easier for the Chinese team to reach the first place again......

According to the schedule of this Olympic Games, the swimming competition will start on the evening of the 9th and end on the 21st. However, the three projects that Guo Zizhao participated in officially ended from the evening of the 9th to the morning of the 15th. On the morning of August 15, there was only Guo Zizhao's 50-meter freestyle final.

The track and field competition also started on the morning of the 15th and ended on the 22nd. And, on the morning of the 15th, it was the men's 100-meter sprint preliminaries.

Although there was some overlap in the day's race schedule, there was still more than half an hour between the heats of the men's 100m dash and the final of the 50m freestyle. Moreover, the distance between the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube is only about 5 minutes away, so this is no problem for Guo Zizhao.

Well...... It's a warm-up before the finals!

Moreover, the swimming competition at this Olympics has a different schedule from previous competitions. That is, the preliminaries of the swimming competition are scheduled in the evening, and the semi-finals and finals are scheduled in the morning. This is the opposite of the previous schedule of international swimming competitions.

Therefore, all the contestants have to start adjusting their state a month or two in advance, and strive to adjust their best state to the morning, so that they can swim better.

At half past six o'clock in the evening of August 9th, the swimming competition of this Olympic Games officially began. First up was the men's 400m individual medley heats, with Phelps taking the lead......
