Duke and Adam Peaty swam under 58 seconds in the men's 100 breaststroke to break the previous world record, and together they pushed the men's breaststroke to the highest level in history. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Adam Peaty was a little disappointed, 57.61 seconds, he swam under 58 seconds for the first time, but still couldn't beat the more terrifying Duke.
Either way, the 100 breaststroke final was one of the best breaststroke duels ever, and Adam Peaty graciously congratulated Duke after the race.
"The next time I compete with you, I'll have to put diving fins on my feet." Adam Peaty took the initiative to shake hands with Doucle, British humor.
"Will your fins arrive the day after tomorrow?" Duke laughed and said that there is a 50-breaststroke final the day after tomorrow.
"So I'm going to have to find a place with internet access right away, and let's go, bye-bye." Adam Peaty turned around and walked away, took a few steps and turned around and said, "I forgot to say, I enjoyed the final just now, you played perfectly, congratulations." Then he turned his head and walked forward, raised his right hand with his back to Du Ke and made a bow gesture, and walked away in style.
"Quite interesting, British." Duke looked at Adam Peaty's back and said that he had a good impression of Peaty, it was rare to meet an opponent of equal strength, Douc hoped that his opponent's character would not be too bad, and people with too bad character did not deserve to be a real opponent.
……
Tonight's first competition of men's 100 frogs ignited the atmosphere of the Kazan Arena Natatorium.
When Russia's Efimova won the women's 100 breaststroke championship, the atmosphere in the swimming pool exploded again and again, and after three days, the Russians finally waited for a gold medal of their own.
Chinese women's breaststroker Shi Jinglin unfortunately finished fifth in the women's 100 breaststroke, just 0.13 seconds away from the medal.
Fu Yuanhui also regretted that she swam a personal best of 59.02 seconds in the women's 100 back, only 0.07 seconds slower than third place Denmark's Nelsen, and unfortunately missed out on a medal at the World Championships.
After the game, Fu Yuanhui had a crazy face: "Ahhhh My hands are too short to hurt! ”
Although Shi Jinglin and Fu Yuanhui both missed out on medals, the Chinese women's swimming team is improving, and there are some potential players in each swimming style.
In the three women's 100m events that have ended, Lu Ying, Shi Jinglin, and Fu Yuanhui all broke into the finals of the women's 100 butterfly, 100 frog, and 100 back, of which Lu Ying won the bronze medal in the women's 100 butterfly.
Du Ke is a demon king-level player, he represents the pinnacle of China's swimming events, and is the embodiment of super personal strength.
Lu Ying, Shi Jinglin, Fu Yuanhui and other players represent the overall level of Chinese women's swimming, and they are the basic force supporting a national team.
The increase in the number of Chinese athletes who have reached the finals of the World Championships and the increase in individual swimming styles indicate that the overall level of Chinese swimming events is gradually improving.
Although Lu Ying, Shi Jinglin, and Fu Yuanhui could not win the gold medal at the World Championships, they joined forces to form a medley relay team, which is still quite powerful.
The foundation of the Chinese women's swimming team is good, and the only thing missing is a female superstar, and they lack a female version of Du Brush. The Hungarian women's swimming team is the opposite, they only have one female overlord, Huo Sizu, and the other female athletes are weaker and can't even get a few tickets to the World Championships.
Therefore, the United States has always been known as the number one swimming power, the United States has both superstars to support the façade, and has a deep reserve of regular players, look, the talented girl Ledecky in the United States has set a new world record.
In the women's 1500 freestyle final, Ledecky hit the wall with her foot on the world record line like Doucle, and she broke her own world record with a time of 15:25.48.
The third day of the World Championships in Kazan was fierce and climactic. Broken, men and women took turns to set new world records, and the stars shined in Russia.
The last race of the night is the men's 200m freestyle final, and the eight finalists are lined up in 1~8 lanes: Krasjak, Biederman, Kosuke Hagino, Duke, Locht, James Gay, Dale, Sun Yang.
A total of eight athletes from China, the United States, Japan, Britain, Russia, and Germany come from six countries on three continents, Europe, America and Asia, and in this event, it is difficult to see a continent, a country, and a player monopolize for many years, because the 200-meter event is the most difficult distance to swim.
Phelps, Locht, Biederman, and Agnel have taken turns to sit in the men's 200 in the past ten years, and these superstars can sit once or twice, but no one has made it three times in a row. Sun Yang won all the gold medals from 400 to 1500, but he never won a gold medal in an international competition in the 200 self event, but he won several silver medals, and he never sat in a 200 self village.
Duke made his debut in the men's 200 at the World Championships in Barcelona two years ago and will be keen to defend his title and make it two wins in a row. Three times in a row may have to wait until Rio, but if there is no second time, how can there be a third time.
The passion for the duel with Peaty just now has not yet cooled, and Duke is still excited and lustful. Hope, and of course can not be brain fever, focus and rational intelligence will be excited and desired. I want to ferment to the extreme, and not make mistakes.
That's when the start signal sounds, and the race begins!
After the departure, rushing to the front were Duke, James Gay, and Kosuke Hagino.
The physical fitness of the two veterans of Rochette and Biederman cannot be compared with the young people of the post-90s, but their rich experience in the competition is the greatest wealth.
In the first 50 meters, Sun Yang fell last.
Sun Yang's slow departure has become a normalized pattern, but this gun 200 may not only bother Sun Yang with slow departure. Sun Yang was unwell in the past two days, and the coach asked him to give up the 200 self final and rest well to prepare for the main events of 800 and 1500. But Sun Yang did not give up and still appeared in the 200 free-to-face finals.
After turning around at 50 meters, Du Ke turned forward, used the [Dolphin Turn] wall diving, and immediately adjusted his body posture to the side facing the fifth direction next door, and at the same time began to play butterfly legs to push forward.
The fifth runner is Rochette, he used his best way to turn around and lean back butterfly leg diving, diving and diving, Rochette found that the fourth lane next door Duke's diving posture is so unique, "Is it really a sideways butterfly leg?" Awesome! He had studied the footage of Duke in the 200 semi-finals, but seeing Doucle perform a butterfly spin in the lane next door, Rochette suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
Knowledgeable spectators, journalists, commentators, other competitors and coaches, and FINA technical officials watched the game attentively, especially when the competitors turned around, they didn't even dare to blink their eyes, for fear of missing a second of wonderful moments.
The more Mr. Han watched it, the more excited he became: "Duke and Rochette, the two players with the best turning skills used their own turning skills at the same time, and they also competed with each other in the adjacent swimming lanes!" The speed battle of 100 frogs, the turning and fighting method of 200 self, tonight's Kazan is a good show! (To be continued.) )
