Chapter 298: The first gold medal of the World Championships
The first race of the evening was the final of the men's 100m breaststroke.
Goldwind's three games are basically one every other game, so for Goldwind, physical fitness is indeed a huge challenge, but in the first game, Goldwind has no physical problems.
"Yesterday Zhang Ling brought us a little surprise in the men's 400m freestyle, can Jinfeng still surprise us today?" Han Qiao asked casually.
"Although the Japanese frog king did not participate in this World Championships, the opponents who entered the finals are also very strong, and they are not so easy to deal with." Zhou Ya said with a frown.
"Yes, Australia's Ricard, USA's Eric have broken the tournament record in the heats and semi-finals, and South Africa's Van der Berg is not an unknown person, and these people deserve our attention." Han Qiao agreed, nodded and said.
Divided by the semi-final results, Jin Feng is in the fourth lane, next to him in the fifth lane is Eric and the third lane is Van der Berg.
Other than that, Ricard departs on the second lane.
It can be said that these people are basically the favorites to win the championship.
"Okay, the competition is about to start and the athletes are ready."
Eight athletes stood on the shore, ready to jump.
"Bang!" The gun rang out, and all eight players plunged into the water to start the fight for the first gold medal of the day.
Jinfeng's reaction speed is very fast, but I didn't expect Van der Berg to be even faster.
"The race officially started and Van der Berg was in the lead, followed by Ricard and Goldwind, who were almost neck-and-neck." Han Qiao quickly explained.
Indeed, Goldwind and Ricard are quite fast, and although the two of them are still temporarily behind Van der Berg, they are not slow, and it looks like they could overtake Van der Berg in front of them at any time.
Van der Berg seemed to realize that someone was chasing behind him and was pressing on him step by step, so Van der Berg still increased his speed and wanted to further open the gap.
"Okay, Golden Wind is paddling very well, and he's slowly catching up with Van der Berg." Zhou Ya commented.
"Halfway through the first 50 meters, Goldwind has caught up with Van der Berg and Ricard has caught up with Van der Berg, and now the three of them are almost on the same level." Han Qiao added.
It's about to turn around and see who can grab this opportunity to turn first.
Jin Feng turned around, touched the wall, kicked his legs, and a series of movements were done in one go, which was very smooth.
"The turn is very beautiful, we saw it, Jinfeng was the first to turn around and temporarily reach the top." Zhou Ya was excited.
"Come on Jinfeng, we must maintain this advantage." Han Qiao also felt a trace of excitement.
After turning around, Jin Feng did not relax his vigilance, you must know that this is the final, you can no longer have reservations, you must show all your strength.
He was followed by Ricard, who now threw Van der Berg away, and followed Jin Feng alone, and the gap between the two was still very small, the size of a palm.
"Ricard is in second place now, and the gap between him and Goldwind is very small, so you have to pay attention." Han Qiao couldn't help but sweat, and secretly cheered for Jin Feng in his heart.
Although he couldn't see the situation around him, Jin Feng knew that there would definitely be people who were reluctant to chase him, and he had to grit his teeth and hold on to the game.
"And the last thirty meters, come on Golden Wind." Jinfeng still firmly occupies the first position, is the first gold medal of the Chinese swimming men's team just like this? Han Qiao is about to jump up and cheer.
Ricard also knew it was his last chance and had to sprint to get the game down.
Jin Feng is not a vegetarian either, he can't sit still, and he has to step up the sprint.
"The final sprint, the Golden Wind starts to sprint, can he make a new history?" Han Qiao's eyes were fixed on the game below.
It can be clearly seen from the TV broadcast that Goldwind's arm just crossed a red line, which is actually the line of the world record, which means that Goldwind has been in a position to surpass the world record.
"The competition between the two is very fierce, Ricard keeps hitting the position of Goldwind, and Goldwind has not slackened, come on, and the last ten meters, Goldwind come on!" Han Qiao shouted loudly.
The speed of the breaststroke is not fast, but the speed of the golden wind is very fast, at least much faster than the other competitors, the shore in front of him, as long as he touches this place, the golden wind knows that he has reached the end, of course, the golden wind does not know how many places he has won so far.
"Champion, Goldwind is the champion!" When Jin Feng was the first to touch the pool wall, Han Qiao couldn't help but jump.
"The advantage is not obvious, but we can still see that Goldwind touched the pool wall in front of Ricard, so Goldwind is the champion of the men's 100m breaststroke at this World Swimming Championships." Zhou Ya couldn't help but say.
Goldwind took off his swimming goggles and looked at the big screen, and it was Ricard who was watching with him, and neither of them knew who reached the finish line first.
When the results appeared, Jin Feng couldn't help but wave the swimming cap in his hand, the first gold medal of the World Swimming Championships.
Ricard was a little frustrated, he had already played to the fullest, but he didn't expect to win only one silver medal, a little unwilling.
Third place was not Van der Berg, but France's Dolby.
"It's amazing, Golden Wind has made new history, he won the gold medal in the men's 100m breaststroke, and we keep asking, who can help Huaxia get the first gold medal in men's swimming? Today Jinfeng gave the answer, and that was him. Han Qiao said affectionately.
"Goldwind's time was 58.56 seconds, and he broke the world record, which was 58.58 seconds, and Goldwind became the new world record holder." After seeing the results, Zhou Ya was even more excited than Han Qiao.
If it is said that Goldwind won the championship or there is an element of luck in it, but the results of breaking the world record cannot be fake, which shows that Goldwind's results are real and there is absolutely no problem.
Jin Feng looked at his results, and was also very excited, the first shot of this swimming competition was fired, he held his swimming cap high, and showed the national flag on it.
"We Chinese swimmers can also win the swimming championship and break the world record." Han Qiao said again.
Because there is still a game below, it is impossible for Jin Feng's celebration to be too long, and Jin Feng has to take a break, and he has other games below.
