Chapter 324: 50-meter freestyle final
In the preliminaries in the morning, the performance of the Chinese team was quite good, and the semi-finals and finals in the evening were the biggest highlights.
"There are a total of six finals and three semi-finals tonight, of which Jinfeng will challenge for gold medals in the men's 50m freestyle and men's 100m butterfly, qualify for the final in the 50m backstroke semifinals, veteran Fei Ya will play in the women's 50m butterfly, and four girls from the women's 100m medley relay Huaxia team will also compete." Han Qiao was talking about tonight's game with the participation of the Huaxia team.
"I think the most noteworthy games, first of all, Goldwind has two finals tonight, can he catch up with or even surpass Mike Feil?" Han Qiao threw out the first question of the night.
"That's right, there is a record in the World Championships, which was set by McKeil, that is, seven gold medals in a single World Championships, except for him Michael Fill, no one has ever been so crazy, and now Jinfeng is only one gold medal away from McKeil's record, can he catch up with this record?" Zhou Ya didn't dare to say whether Jin Feng could surpass this record, as long as she could catch up.
"But the Golden Wind competition is in the second race, first of all, let's focus on the first race, the final of the women's 50m butterfly." Han Qiao saw that the women's competition below was about to start, and immediately drew attention back to the game.
"The final of the women's 50m butterfly is not an Olympic event, and the competitors are basically veterans, and I don't know who will get off to a good start today." Zhou Ya looked at Fei Ya, and was still a little worried in her heart, could this veteran add a little luster to Huaxia?
Fei Ya is a veteran of the four dynasties, plus this World Championships, she has participated in four competitions, the first three times, Fei Ya can stand on the podium every time, and won a gold medal, after this game, Fei Ya will retire, she does not want to retire with regrets.
The favourites for the title are defending champion Sweden's veteran Al Shamal, as well as Netherlands' Wildhouis and Australia's Guerrella, the world record holder in the short course 50m butterfly.
In the final, Arshamal and Wildhais were in the fourth and fifth lanes, respectively, while Féja was in lane two.
After the start of the match, Fei Ya reacted with a reaction time of 0.78 seconds, which was only the second-to-last among the eight finalists, which was not very good.
In the first half, the Swedish veteran Arshamal was slightly ahead, and Feiya was not outstanding.
However, in the final 15-meter sprint, the situation on the field changed instantly.
In the end, Guerrera, the world record holder in the short course 50m butterfly, was the first to touch the wall and win the gold medal.
Fei Ya fought hard to win a silver medal in the end, and the 20-year-old Norwegian teenager Snieldal finished third 0.01 seconds behind Fei Ya.
Defending champions Sweden's veteran Al Shamal missed out on a medal, while Dutchman Wildhouis finished fifth.
"We congratulate Fei Ya on winning a valuable silver medal, and as a veteran, she has stood on the podium for the first time on the stage of the World Championships, and we are very proud of this veteran." Although it was only a silver medal, Fei Ya had done well enough.
"The veteran retires, the young player is in charge, the next game is when the young player is in charge, let's see how Goldwind will behave himself." Han Qiao naturally turned the topic to the following game.
Men's 50m freestyle final.
Goldwind's performance in front of him was good enough, and he also broke the world record in this event, but everyone knows that the results in the semi-finals do not count, and only those who achieve good results in the final can be said to be real masters.
"In the men's 50-meter freestyle, the only one who can compete with Goldwind should be the Brazilian athlete Serobello, and he is also the only athlete who has swam under 21 seconds so far, so Goldwind must be careful." Zhou Ya still reminded Jin Feng, but Jin Feng couldn't hear this now.
Eight players appeared in turn, and when Jin Feng came out, his voice was particularly loud, and in addition to the Chinese audience, there were also many Western audiences, and they were all deeply impressed by Jin Feng, this young man may be able to set a new record tonight, and he is also the first player to play without a swimsuit.
Everyone knows that Goldwind has two finals tonight, only one of them won the championship, Goldwind will catch up with McFiel, the men's 100m butterfly has Michael Fee himself, McFair will definitely not let his record disappear so much, so Goldwind has a bigger grasp of only this men's 50m freestyle.
It's not the first time Serobello has played against Goldwind, the last time was the men's 100m freestyle, Serobello undoubtedly lost the race, and today is it still the case? That's hard to say.
"The 50-meter race is all about speed and explosiveness, and you have to show all your strength from the beginning." Zhou Ya still passed on a little experience, but Jin Feng couldn't hear it now, he was concentrating and preparing to do a big job.
Eight competitors lined up, all standing on the pedals, ready to start the race.
"Bang!" The starting gun sounds, and the game officially begins.
Jin Feng plunged into the water first, and his reaction speed into the water has always been the fastest, but he met his opponent today, and Serobello's reaction time into the water was also short.
After all, it was a 50-meter race, and it was also the final, so everyone's speed was almost the same, and they sprinted out with all their strength at the beginning.
"There are eight players going hand in hand, and the competition is very fierce." Han Qiao said quickly.
Golden Wind is the most special among the eight players, because he is not wearing a swimsuit, so he is very conspicuous.
Serobello also gave his full play, he didn't want to go home with a silver medal, he had to win a gold medal.
Soon, Goldwind and Serobello emerged from the eight, forming a special first group.
Halfway through the race.
"The gap between Goldwind and Serobello is very small, and the two seem to be almost comparable." It is difficult for Han Qiao to judge the gap between the two people with his own naked eyes alone.
Halfway through the race, Goldwind and Serobello accelerated at the same time, and the two of them began the final sprint.
"In the final sprint, the two men went hand in hand and continued to set off towards the finish line."
Although they are all sprinting, Jinfeng is obviously a little faster, and gradually widens the gap, but the gap is not big, but very small.
"Come on, come on, Goldwind." Han Qiao was very nervous, feeling that his heart was about to jump out, and the gap between the two people was too small.
At the last moment, Jin Feng did not dare to relax in the slightest, and Serobello did not relax either.
