Ning Zetao qualified for the men's 50m freestyle final with a time of 21.64 seconds, slower than Russia's Morozov (sixth, 21.61 seconds) and faster than Germany's Bamrosler (seventh, 21.68 seconds).

However, the results of the extra rounds cannot be compared with the results of other players, and Ning Zetao will advance to the final in eighth place in the semi-finals, where he will be assigned to lane 8.

Why would the runner with the first place finish in the semi-finals be assigned to lane 4 in the final?

Because lane 4 is in the center, it has a good view and can be looked left and right, making it easy to observe the other swimmers.

Of course, lane 5 has the same effect as lane 4, but FINA has been the rule for decades that lane 4 is assigned to the runner with the first place finish in the semi-finals, which is the championship lane. Going down, the 8th runner in the semi-finals will be assigned to the 8th lane in the finals, which is commonly known as the street in the industry.

Therefore, in order to win a favorable lane in the final, after entering the semi-finals, the players from all walks of life will no longer retain their strength, but go all out. There are even a small number of foreign players, saying that they are superstitious or believe in lucky numbers, they must be assigned to a certain lane, or a few lanes in the finals, otherwise the whole person will feel bad, which will affect their performance.

Ning Zetao advanced to the men's 50 free finals, Du Ke was also happy for the buns, and because of Ning Zetao's unexpected extra match, Du Ke rested for more than 20 minutes.

Originally, after Du Ke sprinted and finished the semifinals of the second group of men's 50 free, according to the schedule, the women's 400 free-final, men's 400-free final, women's 200 back-up final, and men's 200-back final will be held.

Because Ning Zetao and Orsie tied for eighth place in the semifinals, the referee team held an emergency meeting to negotiate for a few minutes, and finally decided to arrange a play-off match between Ning Zetao and Orsie, and then gave another ten minutes for the two play-off players to rest, counting the time for the players to move into the area, the game, and reset the timing system, more than 20 minutes passed......

This is good news for Duke, a little more rest is a little longer, twenty minutes is not a lot, from the 50 frog to the 50 semifinals, he only had 20 minutes of rest. With this extra rest time, Duke was able to recover some more stamina for the 200 back.

After the semi-final round, the St. Hoddy Aquatics Center ushered in the first final of the night, and the first final of the swimming competition at the World Championships, the women's 400m freestyle final.

Favourite Katie Ledesky of the United States was hot enough to win the women's 400 free, and the first gold medal of the World Championships swimming competition was won by a 16-year-old American girl.

There are no Chinese women in the women's 400 free final, and the Chinese will not pay much attention to this final.

The upcoming men's 400m freestyle final, with two Chinese male players participating, for Chinese audiences, of course, this men's 400 freestyle final is more hopeful.

Sun Yang and Hao Yun teamed up to hit the men's 400 free final, hoping that they could get off to a good start for the Chinese team.

After the start of the competition, Sun Yang exerted the strength and momentum of the king of the middle and long distance freestyle, he suppressed and advanced all the way, and firmly pressed the two most powerful opponents Kosuke Ogino and Jagger behind him, not giving the Japanese and Americans any chance to surpass.

In the end, Sun Yang touched the wall first with a clear advantage of one half body ahead of Kosuke Hagino and won the men's 400 free championship!

Japan's Kosuke Hagino finished second and American Jagger was third.

Hao Yun finished eighth, which was the penultimate in the final. He didn't play abnormally, he can only say that as soon as he entered the final, players from all countries began to play with +1, and whoever can be more crazy can win more, and the final of the World Championships is not so easy to deal with.

Sun Yang won the first gold medal for the Chinese team at the World Championships in Barcelona, and the Chinese team was boiling!

The Chinese reporters, Chinese commentators, live broadcast teams, and Chinese students at the scene were all overjoyed and excited.

The audience, mainly from Western Europeans, responded mediocrely, applauding the honoured athletes, but not with enthusiasm. Compared with the deafening cheers of the audience after the American girl Ledesky won the women's 400 free gold medal, Sun Yang's men's 400 free gold medal did not seem to be enough to make the European audience happy.

However, the Chinese audience who is far away in the eastern motherland and stays up late to watch the live broadcast of the World Championships is sour and excited, China's world champion will not be unloved, there are 1.6 billion people in the country, and they are the strongest backing for Chinese swimmers who go to Europe.

The final round of the 400 is over, and the victory ceremony will take place later, and after the two finals of the 200 men's and women's finals, the four victory ceremonies will take place in turn.

The schedule is tight, followed by the women's 200m backstroke final.

Missy Franklin, the London Olympic women's 200 back champion and current women's 200 back world record holder, was the biggest favorite to win the women's 200 back and the absolute queen.

FRANKLIN IS 185CM TALL, AND AS A FEMALE PLAYER, SHE IS ONE CENTIMETER TALLER THAN DUKE. Like most European and American female athletes, Franklin is strong, broad-shouldered and thick-shouldered (although it sounds like an exaggeration to describe a woman in this way, but it is), and if she is not wearing a women's swimsuit, you would think she is a gentleman when you look at her back.

The women's 200 back final began, and the American women's flying fish, who won four gold medals in a row at last year's London Olympics, was really tough, and after the first turn, Franklin determined a clear lead, and she harvested all the way and touched the wall strongly, winning the gold medal in the women's 200 back.

The American audience waved the Stars and Stripes wildly, and the European audience made no secret of their love for the Queen, and the atmosphere at the St. Hoddy Aquatics Center was ignited and detonated by the 18-year-old American woman, as if the carnival party was at its highest.

When Lochette came on and stood behind the 4th lane jump, the crowd's G-spot was poked for the second time in a short period of time, and the continuous high chao made their blood boil.

The Queen of the United States + Captain America took turns, Rochette and Franklin were the most powerful American male and female players, not only in the United States, but also in the world.

Although breaking the world record in the men's 100 free, Duke, who is located in lane 5 next to Rochette, seems to have become a supporting role for Rochette at the moment.

Except for a few viewers and reporters from China and Russia, almost all the rest of the audience and foreign media reporters were rhythmically chanting "Ryan ~~ Rochette" and "Ryan ~~ Rochette".

This is the appeal and popularity of the world's top superstars, not only Duke, but also Rochette's compatriot Clary, Japan's Ryosuke Irie and the rest of the players in the men's 200 back, all of whom have become supporting roles for Captain America.

Duke glanced at Rochette beside him, and his fighting spirit was already burning in his chest, Rochette, this brother is really popular, Barcelona is half of his home, right? I wonder if there will be additional bonus points for beating him at Lao Luo's home stadium?

It is true that Duke has broken many records, but to be promoted to the top international superstar, he needs to be adorned with a string of world-class gold medals around his neck.

Rochette also turned his head to look at Duke in lane 5, come on, Chinese friend, you broke my 200 mixed world record, let me see if you are really that strong?

At this time, the referee broadcast through the live amplification equipment: "The game will start immediately, please be quiet, please be quiet, thank you." ”

The audience was indeed too noisy, and this time there was no need for any contestants to make a request, and the referee took the initiative to call the audience to be quieter, otherwise the contestants could not hear the signal clearly.

The audience bought it, and the St. Hoddy Aquatics Center instantly fell silent, which was the silence before the decisive battle.

At this time, the preparatory order sounded, and the eight finalists went out of the pool.

Lochette in lane 4, Duke in lane 5, Clary in lane 3, and Ryosuke Irie in lane 6, in terms of data, these four should be the strongest four in the men's 200 back event.

Xu Jiayu, another player of the Chinese men's team, also broke into the men's 200 back final, his semi-final result ranked eighth, and was divided into the 8th lane.

The eight finalists have all gone down the pool, grabbing the handles, curling up and making ready-to-do gestures.

The start order sounds, and the men's 200m backstroke final begins!

Duke kicked off the wall and began to swim with his arms at the end of the slide.

After the semifinals of the men's 50 since the second group, thanks to Ning Zetao's extra match, Du Ke rested for more than 50 minutes for nearly an hour, corresponding to this 200 back final, his physical fitness is not the most energetic, but it is definitely enough. Two stunts that can be used in the backstroke competition, the big water wheel and the dolphin turn, are also available.

After the start, Duke did not rush forward, but gradually rose and advanced at the usual pace.

Lochette, the favourite to win the championship, was also playing according to the regular number of roads, but Clary was particularly violent, and he rose high after the end of the slide, and in the first 50 meters, it was Clary who led the swim.

Rochette, Douca, and Ryosuke Irie are almost on the same level, closely following Clary by a slight margin.

In fifth place is Xu Jiayu, who can keep up with the four masters, and Xiao Xu's performance is not bad.

As he was about to reach the edge, Douc turned around with a dolphin*1 and ejected a powerful kick against the wall, overtaking Clary in the underwater sliding phase.

After overtaking Clary, Duke grabbed the first place.

But Duke is not the only number one, Rochette and Duke go head to head after turning, tied for first place, and the gap between the two is indistinguishable with the naked eye.

Duke sacrificed the dolphin turn, and Rochette also used his unique trick - Roche turn.

In the turn and slide phase, the body is completely submerged in the water, and most backstrokers turn around and come out of the water for the first time to breathe before starting their first stroke, including Duke, who does the same, which is the standard textbook move of the backstroke.

But Rochette likes to start his first stroke while his body is still underwater, which helps him get out of the water at a shallower angle, which allows him to enter the swimming phase at high speeds.

At the same time, Rocht's butterfly leg was very powerful during the underwater slide phase, and combined with his advance stroke, he was able to easily advance to a distance of 15 meters during the underwater slide stage.

FINA rules are that a swimmer must exit the water after turning and sliding down for a maximum of 15 metres. But most of the skaters skated less than 15 meters.

Douc relies on dolphin turns to glide up to 15 meters in one breath and then emerges into the swimming phase.

Rochette can do just that, thanks to his unique turnaround skills.

Dolphin turn VS Roche turn, which one is stronger in turning technology?

After the first turn, Rochette and Douc tied for first place.

Entering the swimming phase, Douc began to accelerate his upward spiral, as did Rochette.

Turn VS turn, flat cut VS flat cut, in the first 100 meters, Duke and Rochte are inseparable.

On the second turn, Duke used the Dolphin Turn*2, and Lochette also used the Roche Turn*2, and the two were tied again.

This is really, when you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent, and it is confusing who will die!

After the second turn, Duke and Rochette had already thrown off the opponents behind them, and even if Clary and Ryosuke Irie pursued with all their might, they could not close the gap with Du and Roche.

The third turn, Duke continues to turn the dolphin *3, and Rochette still turns around Roche*3.

Rochette's turn is really awesome, three Roche turns VS three dolphin turns, and Lochette and Duke are tied three times.

Could it be that Roche's turn is also a Rochette stunt?

Learn to turn around Roche?

If it were so easy to learn, would it still be called Rochette's unique stunt? Phelps, a genius who once imitated Rochette's turn, is also a tiger and not an anti-dog.

The last 50 meters sprinted, and after turning around, Du Ke immediately turned on the big water wheel, rushing, success or failure is in the last few tens of meters!

Rochette is awesome, and the reason why he is a superstar is that he will not only turn around.

The 29-year-old Rochette is still in peak form, and in the sprint, he bursts out with force and rushes towards the finish.

Duke and Rochette knocked on each other after the first turn, knocked three times, and until there were still 10 meters left in the end, the two were still indistinguishable.

"Rochette, you're so fierce!" Duke has to admire Rochet, who is 9 years older than himself, can you also stunt? How many of your stats have reached 120?

"Du, you can break my world record, it's really strong!" Lochette was also very surprised by Ducque's explosive strength.

Duke and Rochette both had only one thought at this time, hurry, hurry, faster! I'm going to be the first to hit the wall!

In the exclamations of the audience, Duke and Rochette hit the wall almost at the same time, and the naked eye could not tell who was the champion.

The first thing Duke and Rochette did was to immediately turn around and look at the big screen.

After the results on the big screen came out, the audience was shocked and stunned, and people couldn't find any words to describe the scene in front of them.

The information displayed on the large screen is as follows:

1，K.Du，CHINA，01:51:82；

2，R.Lochte，USA，01:51:83；

3，R.Irie，JAPAN，01:53:34；

……

Duke narrowly defeated Lochette by one percent to win the men's 200 back!

In addition, Duke and Lochette both broke the world record in the men's 200m backstroke at the same time! (To be continued.) )
