Chapter 394: The low-key 50-meter freestyle

Since he will participate in the preliminaries and semifinals of the men's 50-meter freestyle tomorrow, Guo Zizhao has not been interviewed by the media for a long time.

But even so, Guo Zizhao once again reiterated his championship declaration in the face of those excited media.

"Before the game, wasn't there still a lot of media who thought I didn't have the quality to win the championship? Hehe...... I would like to reiterate here that whether it is this championship or the Olympics in August, I have only one goal, and that is to win! ”

Everyone has no objection to Guo Zizhao's speech this time. With Guo Zizhao's time of 48.20 seconds today, he does have the strength to say this. However, everyone is also very interested in the upcoming 50-meter freestyle.

"Mr. Guo Zizhao, can you easily reveal your results in the 50-meter freestyle?"

"That's it, that's it, don't let us wait so anxiously, just tell us!" The others also hurriedly followed suit.

"Hey...... 50-meter freestyle," Guo Zizhao also paused, "As for what kind of results can be swam, I think it's better to leave a little suspense!" Ha ha...... Let's be patient and wait for tomorrow! ”

"Don't...... Let's tell us first! Probably a range is fine......"

"Hey...... All I can say is that I won't disappoint you either. Okay, that's all for today, there will be a game tomorrow morning......" Guo Zizhao finished speaking, and did not continue to answer, and said goodbye to everyone with a smile.

……

In fact, compared with the 100-meter freestyle, Guo Zizhao really didn't spend much time in the 50-meter freestyle.

Guo Zizhao has always focused on training in the 100m, and the 50m freestyle technique was only acquired after the World Indoor Athletics Championships at the beginning of the month. But even so, Guo Zizhao quickly adapted to it after absorbing the technology given by the system.

After all, there are still many similarities between the practice of the 100-meter freestyle and the 50-meter freestyle. However, the 100-meter freestyle is more precise in controlling the rhythm, while the 50-meter freestyle is more explosive. After mastering the 50-meter freestyle technique, Guo Zizhao also tested twice during training, and the results made him quite satisfied.

At present, Guo Zizhao's 50-meter freestyle results, without using any skills, can swim to about 22.70 seconds just by cutting flat. Although this result seems to be a certain distance from the Asian record and even the national record, it is enough to call it the best result in Asia this year.

Since the second half of last year, no Asian competitor has swam under 23 seconds in an official competition. Therefore, Guo Zizhao's current flat cutting results are all at the top level in Asia.

If you use two more skills, Guo Zizhao pondered, I rely on ...... It's not hard to break a world record!

Although in the 50-meter freestyle competition in the standard lane, Guo Zizhao can only use the two skills of "earth-shattering jump" and "strong advanced sprint", but these two skills are enough to be powerful! Especially the final "strong advanced sprint" skill, but at least it can improve Guo Zizhao's score by about 0.8~1 seconds. This increase is particularly domineering in the 50-meter freestyle competition! Don't forget, the current world record is only 21.64 seconds, which is just over a second faster than Guo Zizhao's result.

Hey...... It seems that the shorter the distance in the race, the greater the advantage you will have when using your skills! It seems that Lao Tzu still has to be careful with his skills, otherwise, if he accidentally breaks the world record now, it will be a big loss! There are no rewards for domestic competitions......

。。。。。。

At 10 a.m. on March 29, the preliminaries of the men's 50-meter freestyle officially began.

Because Guo Zizhao won the men's 100-meter freestyle final yesterday, today's competition attracted everyone's attention.

Since 8 o'clock in the morning, the outside of the swimming competition venue has been surrounded by major media reporters and enthusiastic spectators. In the end, the organizing committee had to dispatch a lot of security personnel to allow the participating athletes to enter the venue smoothly.

"Brother Guo, I'll play first, and I'll be merciful in the game later!" Chen Zheng's mentality today is not bad, maybe he has figured it out after he goes back. Therefore, before going on the field today, Chen Zheng had a rare joke with Guo Zizhao.

"Huh...... Go ahead and swim! Guo Zizhao also simply encouraged. In this year's Olympics, this buddy is completely out of play, and if he works hard, he may have a chance to catch up with next year's World Swimming Championships.

A few minutes later, the preliminaries of Chen's group ended. Unsurprisingly, Chen won the first place in the group with a time of 23.15 seconds, and there was no problem in entering the semi-finals in the evening.

Subsequently, Guo Zizhao also officially debuted. In the cheers of the audience, Guo Zizhao only started a "shocking" skill this time, and finally easily won the first place in the group with a time of 22.30 seconds. At the same time, the result also improved the national record in the men's 50m freestyle by 0.03 seconds.

For Guo Zizhao's achievement, although everyone is also very excited, they can't help but feel a little disappointed. Guo Zizhao's results in the 100-meter preliminaries have already broken the Asian record, but he didn't expect that the 50-meter score will only break the national record now. It's a bit unpleasant......

However, Guo Zizhao doesn't care about this achievement. Hey...... easily won the first place in the preliminaries, what is not satisfied? If you want to break the Asian record, let's wait until the final......

……

In the semi-finals that night, Guo Zizhao still easily completed it again with a "shocking leap" skill, and the score of 22.31 seconds made Guo Zizhao firmly ranked first among the eight finalists.

And the final on the evening of March 30 received strong attention from everyone. Based on previous experience, Guo Zizhao will definitely not save his strength in tonight's final. What is Guo Zizhao's strength in the men's 50m freestyle? Is it the same as the 100-meter freestyle, which has the strength to win the gold medal in the Olympic Games, and it is also the focus of everyone's attention!

On such a high-profile occasion, eight finalists including Guo Zizhao and Chen Zheng appeared.

As in the men's 100m freestyle final two days ago, Guo Zizhao occupied the best fourth lane, while the adjacent fifth lane still belonged to Chen Zheng.

"Each...... Beep! ”

As the starting order sounded, all the contestants jumped up quickly and rushed into the water like swimming fish. However, some sharp-eyed viewers seem to have found that Guo Zizhao's lead does not seem to be as big as in the first two games after coming out of the water this time.

In previous competitions, Guo Zizhao was able to lead his opponent by nearly one meter after every time he came out of the water. And this time, Guo Zizhao's lead is less than half a meter! I'll go...... Did Guo Zizhao make a mistake this time?

If the other contestants knew what the audience was thinking at this time, they would probably immediately cry and faint in the pool. Your sister, as soon as she set off, she was half a meter ahead of everyone, and she dared to say that Guo Zizhao made a mistake in jumping! Is there any reason for this......

Soon, though, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the heat of the game.

The lanes for the 50-meter freestyle competition are too short. Especially after all the players came out of the water, they immediately rushed with full firepower. It's just that after two air changes, everyone crossed the 15-meter marker line. A few seconds later, Guo Zizhao was the first to swim past the 25-meter central marker......

Hey...... It's time for everyone to see Lao Tzu's sprint strength again!

As soon as the 25-meter mark line passed, Guo Zizhao did not hesitate to activate the "Strong Advanced Sprint Skill". Suddenly, Guo Zizhao's speed immediately increased by 10% again, and with a splash, Guo Zizhao launched a sprint towards the final finish line with all his might......
