Chapter 722: The End of a Magical Era

『Chapter error, click here to report』

Early on the morning of 29 July, the FINA Executive Committee launched a formal voting process and finally adopted the resolution with 12 votes in favor and 2 votes against. Starting from January 1 next year, high-tech swimsuits will officially retire from the stage of history.

This also marks the end of a magical era in the international swimming world that has lasted for several years from next year. Especially in the past two years, Speedo and Arena's new high-tech one-piece swimsuits have been launched in turn, which not only makes the total number of world records set by the international swimming world in the past two years far exceed the sum of the past 10 years, but also pushes many world records to an unattainable height.

Although there are also peerless masters like Guo Zizhao, who refuse to wear any high-tech swimsuits and can swim with unparalleled results, there is only one Guo Zizhao in this world. For most athletes, it will be even more difficult to break these world records again after next year!

Of course, in the face of this situation, there are also many people who have suggested whether the world records set by these athletes wearing high-tech swimsuits can be abolished, or these records can be specially marked and a new world record for not wearing high-tech swimsuits can be re-established. In this way, it can also be treated fairly or motivating future athletes.

However, FINA rejected such an offer. Because, in addition to athletes like Guo Zizhao who are clearly opposed to high-tech swimsuits, for these previous world records, it is impossible to verify which athletes wore high-tech swimsuits at that time, and which athletes did not wear high-tech swimsuits.

It would be unfair to the previous athletes to treat their world records differently now. Besides, wearing high-tech swimsuits in the past was also allowed by FINA, and now they are marked separately, isn't that also a slap in the face of FINA itself!

As for whether these current amazing world records will be broken again in the future after the high-tech swimsuit is banned, the FINA spokesperson also vowed to say, "I believe that with the continuous improvement of the training level and technical level of the international swimming world, breaking these world records is not out of reach!" As we all know, Mr. Guo Zizhao has never worn any high-tech swimsuit, and hasn't he also set 3 top world records? ”

……

Of course, everyone scoffed at this sentence of the FINA spokesperson.

Your Sister's ...... actually compares Guo Zizhao with others, what is the comparison! With Guo Zizhao's strength, does it have any impact on him whether others wear high-tech swimsuits or not?

But fortunately, by next year, Guo Zizhao will also retire. Otherwise, with Guo Zizhao's strength, wouldn't it be even more miserable to abuse these players who didn't wear high-tech swimsuits!

Most people still agree with this FINA resolution. It's just that because the timing of the adoption of this resolution is a bit too sensitive, there are also many people who give malicious speculation.

Your sister, Phelps just lost to Biddleman yesterday, and publicly expressed his dissatisfaction and made some threatening remarks in front of the media, why did FINA immediately announce the official decision! This is simply a broken ground! If you want to say that there is no connection between the two, who would believe it......

Of course, FINA also has unspeakable difficulties for such a choice!

No way, the pressure from the two international sports giants Nike and Adidas is too great! In addition, Biederman, the open-mouthed guy, was too high-profile this time, pushing both the high-tech swimsuit and himself to the forefront.

Guo Zizhao will retire next year, without Guo Zizhao's participation, and once high-tech swimsuits are banned next year, there will definitely be a big decline in the performance of the entire international swimming world. If Phelps makes any more boycott at this time, it will really be a big loss of influence on the international swimming world!

So, now that you've decided to ban high-tech swimsuits, it's better to be refreshed. Taking advantage of the current hype of this incident, FINA also immediately gave this resolution to avoid any more moths in the future!

Of course, this can also soothe Phelps's emotions by the way, after all, after Guo Zizhao retires, the top superstars in the international swimming world still have to watch Phelps!

……

Although the introduction of this official FINA resolution has also caused a huge sensation in major media, for Guo Zizhao, these have no impact on him.

However, in an interview with media reporters before today's competition, Guo Zizhao praised a few words, "Obviously, FINA has made a correct decision this time. It's finally time to put an end to this chaos and get swimming back on its original path! ”

"Although the results of international swimming may not be as dazzling and dazzling as they are now in the coming period, I believe that as more attention is focused on training and improving swimming techniques, international swimming results will usher in a new development! Just like I am now, I can set new world records one after another without wearing any high-tech swimsuits! ”

Guo Zizhao naturally did what he said, and in the subsequent men's 100-meter freestyle preliminaries, Guo Zizhao swam 47.82 seconds just by using the skill of "earth-shattering leap" according to his habits.

And this result also easily ranked third in the preliminaries, and successfully entered the semi-finals in the evening. Walters of the United States was in first place with 47.59 seconds, while Frenchman Bernard was second in 47.80 seconds.

Another Chinese player, Chen Zheng, was also lucky to break into the semifinals again, with a time of 48.75 seconds. Although compared with last year, Chen Zheng's results have also improved slightly, but Guo Zizhao estimates that with Chen Zheng's age and talent, this achievement is basically over.

When it came to the semifinals in the evening, Guo Zizhao had two skills of "earth-shattering leap" and "gorgeous turn" this time, and he climbed to the first place in the semifinals with a time of 47.21 seconds. France's Bernard and Brazil's Junior Cielo were second and third in the overall time of 47.27 and 47.48 seconds, respectively.

And the overall result of this semi-final is the same horror as last year's Beijing Olympics, without a score of 48 seconds, even the final can't be entered! The Italian star Magnini, who had been in the limelight for a while a few years ago, only swam 48.04 seconds this time, and could only miss the final. As for Chen Zheng, another player of the Chinese team, it is even more different!

However, after this semi-final, the head coach of Yi Zhengli has no time to comfort his beloved, because the final of the men's 800m freestyle will start soon. Zhang Lin, another leader of the Chinese team in the men's swimming event, is also about to appear and once again attack the gold medal!

At this World Championships in Rome, Zhang Lin also participated in a total of three events in the men's meter freestyle, among which the hope of winning gold in the meter event is also the greatest.

It's just a pity that in the men's 400m final 3 days ago, Zhang Lin lost at the hands of Biederman, to be precise, on Biederman's high-tech swimsuit. According to Bidelman's personal admission after the race, the new swimsuit improved his time in the 400m event by nearly 3 seconds, and his victory in the final was only less than 2 seconds faster than Zhang Lin.

So...... All this is a crime of non-war!

And this time, Zhang Lin also fought against the water in the final of the men's 800-meter freestyle. If he misses again this time, the popularity and qualifications accumulated by Zhang Lin in winning the championship at the Beijing Olympics last year will probably be lost......
