Chapter 638: The Athletics Competition Begins

Sure enough, when the preliminaries of the men's 50-meter freestyle ended, although the results of France's Lever and Brazil's Junior Cielo were also very good, they were a little overshadowed by Guo Zizhao's time of 21.30 seconds.

Of course, this also makes some unscrupulous media who want to see Guo Zizhao carelessly lose Jingzhou, and feel a little disappointed.

Alas...... It's like this every time, Guo Zizhao is either strong to advance with the first result or break the world record, what does this mean? Everyone is used to it, and this is not a sensation! If Guo Zizhao encounters a "Waterloo" like a few days ago, it will be topical!

However, Guo Zizhao did not sacrifice himself to entertain the public.

In the semifinals of the men's 50-meter freestyle at 10 a.m. on August 14, Guo Zizhao showed two skills this time, leaving all opponents far behind.

20.90 seconds!

Under the double attack of "Shocking Leap" and "Strong Advanced Sprint Skill", Guo Zizhao not only won the first place in the semi-finals again, but also successfully broke the 21-second mark, improving his world record by nearly 0.4 seconds!

Hiss...... As soon as this result came out, it also shook the international swimming world again.

I'll go...... This Guo Zizhao is worthy of being the king of sprint freestyle! The advantage in the 50-meter freestyle event is even greater than that in the 100-meter freestyle event! The semi-finals are like this, so in tomorrow's finals, Guo Zizhao will not have to break through again!

I rely on ...... "King of Speed" and is indeed the "King of Speed"! Guo Zizhao's strength is so strong that it really can't be guessed according to common sense......

In addition to Guo Zizhao, Brazil's Junior Cielo also played very well, ranking second in the semifinals with a time of 21.34 seconds, which was only 0.06 seconds away from Guo Zizhao's original world record. It seems that the Brazilian teenager is also starting to show his way in the freestyle event!

As for Bernard, Sullivan and Lever, the performance of others this time was average, although they also entered the final, but there was no improvement in the results compared with the preliminaries.

……

Just half an hour after Guo Zizhao's semifinals, the final of the women's 200m butterfly was again.

In this event, two young players from the Chinese team, Liu Zige and Jiao Liuyang, broke the world record with a time of 2:04.18 and 2:04.72 respectively, winning the championship and second place in the event in one fell swoop.

The start of this 1 gold and 1 silver also made Shang Xiutang and others happy, and the Chinese women's team finally opened up!

Ha ha...... Zhang Lin of the men's team won a gold medal, and Liu Zige of the women's team also won a gold medal, plus Guo Zizhao won 3 gold medals steadily. In this way, the Chinese swimming team has 5 gold medals in this Olympic Games!

This result is the best record of the Chinese swimming team in the previous Olympic Games! And this result is one more than the four Olympic gold medals won by the "Five Golden Flowers" led by Zhuang Yong at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics!

Great work! Great joy! Great progress...... Deputy Director Shang Xiutang also happily thought that after the experience of this Olympic Games, these young players of the Chinese swimming team will make greater progress, and it is not impossible for the future swimming events to catch up with the current scenery of track and field events......

It's just that the only regret is that Guo Zizhao will retire after next year. At that time, without Guo Zizhao's sitting, whether these young players can still exert such strength still needs further research......

After the semi-finals in the morning, Guo Zizhao went to report to the track and field team that afternoon.

Starting tomorrow, the track and field schedule of this Olympic Games will begin. So tomorrow morning, Guo Zizhao will run at both ends of the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube. However, fortunately, the distance between these two venues is only 5 minutes, which will not have any impact on Guo Zizhao's game.

"Congratulations! The two gold medals in swimming have already arrived, and tomorrow's gold medal has already been booked by you! Haha......" As soon as he arrived at the track and field team, Coach Feng Shuyong, who had been waiting for a long time, also joked with Guo Zizhao with a smile, "You have to win these 5 gold medals in our track and field events steadily!" ”

"Don't worry, guide Feng. Track and field events are my old business, and there must be no problems with the 4 individual events, but the relay event depends on Wen Yongyi's current state! ”

"You can rest assured about this," Feng Shuyong said happily when he saw Guo Zizhao talking about Wen Yongyi and them, "During this time, I started to reduce some training according to your previous arrangement, mainly to adjust, and the state was maintained very well!" I promise they won't hold you back......"

"Haha...... That's good, as long as they're not in the same shape as they were when they were tested in the training camp, I'm more than six levels sure of the gold medal in this relay. ”

……

After the report, Guo Zizhao also went to the Olympic Village to meet with Zhang Peimeng and Lao Yi.

Some time ago, the training effect of his two disciples was also good, so Guo Zizhao also fulfilled his promise and brought these two to the track and field field of this Olympic Games.

With Feng Shuyong's help, Zhang Peimeng and Lao Yi have now become official members of the national track and field team. Of course, with the current results of these two people, it is natural to be selected for the national team.

It's just that in this Olympic Games, Zhang Peimeng obtained the status of a substitute member of the men's relay team. If the veteran Chen Haijian has any physical discomfort, Zhang Peimeng will take over the last baton of the relay race.

And Lao Yi is not so lucky, with Lao Yi's current results, it is still a little difficult to get the position of substitute for the relay team. Therefore, Guo Zizhao simply asked Lao Yi to act with the entire coaching team as his assistant this time.

Of course, Guo Zizhao's main purpose for letting the two of them come over this time is to let them go to the scene of the competition to personally feel the atmosphere of the top international competition, which is also to accumulate a little experience for them to participate in the official competition at the end of the year!

For this year's Beijing Olympics, Guo Zizhao originally planned to let Sister Tao bring her baby son to the capital to participate! Anyway, let Qiangqiang appreciate his father's demeanor in the Olympic arena! When Qiangqiang grows up, he will retire a long time ago, and this Olympics is the only chance!

It's just that Guo Zizhao's original idea was ruthlessly rejected by his mother as soon as he said it.

The old mother also poked Guo Zizhao's forehead vigorously with her fingers, and scolded with a smile, "Your baby is an old man, why do you still want to play a play!" Qiangqiang, a milk baby who doesn't know a fart, will watch a shovel Olympics...... I think you're just a! You and your old man can go by themselves, and it matters that Taotao and I are still at home with the children! ”

After speaking, my mother also shook the cradle with a happy face, "What's so beautiful about your Olympic competition!" I've been tired of it all these years, or my eldest grandson is good......"

Looking at Sister Tao who was covering her mouth and smiling, and the little boy who was still spitting snot bubbles while sleeping, Guo Zizhao had no choice but to dispel this unrealistic idea. Forget it, let's let my son grow up and enjoy his old man's demeanor from the documentary!

At nine o'clock in the morning of August 15, the track and field competition of this Olympic Games officially began. Guo Zizhao and his entourage also came to the Bird's Nest Gymnasium early and slowly started warm-up exercises.

At 9:40, the preliminaries of the men's 100-meter dash will officially begin, and the sprinters from all over the world are busy in the athletes' activity room......
