June 19, Tianjin University of Science and Technology Natatorium.

The swimming pool on the university campus was built ten years ago, in order to host the swimming competition of the Universiade, and adhering to the central government's advocacy of "using existing resources, partial transformation, and thrifty competition", the Ministry of Education allocated funds to repair and renovate the venue, and installed a water circulation system, electronic timing system, and communication terminal system that meet the requirements of the competition.

The spectator stand can accommodate 1,200 people, and the media area can seat 50 or 60 people, which is a small and medium-sized swimming pool. Although the sparrows are small, they have all the organs, and the swimming pool is also a 50-meter international standard pool.

Today, in this renovated swimming pool, the final of the swimming competition of the 9th Universiade will be held.

The swimming pool with 1,200 people has an occupancy rate of about 70% at half past nine in the morning. To enter the stadium to watch the game, spectators have to pay for tickets, even college students are not free, and children under 1.4 meters can buy half-price tickets under the guidance of their parents.

The media area has set up long guns and short guns, all kinds of photography and video equipment, CCTV 5, Jinmen Sports, Dragon TV and other TV stations will broadcast some of the swimming finals, and Tengxun QQ, Somao Sports and other network media will carry out live broadcasts.

Tianjin is very close to the capital, some of the capital's leaders were also invited to the swimming pool to observe the competition, leaders from the Ministry of Education, the General Administration of Sports, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and other national ministries and commissions, accompanied by relevant leaders of Tianjin City. The leaders sat on the rostrum and did not make any official speeches, it seems that they are observing as spectators, of course, they have a more important identity, the award ceremony.

Under the tense and orderly organization of the organizing committee, the finals of each sub-event were carried out in turn.

The first is the 200-meter race, freestyle, breaststroke, butterfly, backstroke, medley, men's and women's, Group A and B, a total of 20 finals.

Interspersed with the medal ceremony, these 20 races were compared all morning, without a break at noon, until half past two in the afternoon, the finals of all events in the 200m were over.

Of the 20 gold medals, 7 were snatched away by Zhedong Province, 6 were won by Southern Jiangsu Province, 4 were harvested by Huhai City, and 17 of the 20 gold medals were won by East China Sanjie, whose hegemony was unshakable and the regional advantages were particularly obvious.

In 20 finals, 160 people participated, 84 people swam out of the second-level athletes, and 29 people swam out of the first-class athletes. There is also a male player from the eastern Zhejiang team and a female player from southern Jiangsu Province, who have made athlete-level results.

The audience at the scene did not know much about China's athlete rating evaluation mechanism, and they couldn't remember how many minutes and seconds the world record, Olympic record, Asian record, and national record were.

Athletes have to compete, compete, and surpass each other, so that it looks cool and worth the ticket price. It seems that the audience is happy, the fierce competition of the athletes in the pool satisfies their desires, and the atmosphere of watching the game is becoming more and more lively and boiling.

The audience is watching lively, but the reporters and commentators on the scene are not amateurs, and the central 5 commentator is giving an in-depth explanation to the audience and friends in front of the TV: "Audience friends, the live broadcast is the final of the 9th Universiade swimming competition, in the just-concluded group B men's 200-meter butterfly and women's 200-meter backstroke competition, Jiang Xingwei of the eastern Zhejiang team and Huang Jing of the southern Jiangsu team won the championship with excellent results. ”

"They swim at the level of athletes, and even in the National Games, this kind of result is competitive. If they can maintain this competitive form, the door of the national team may be open to them. ”

Next up will be the final of the Group A 400m event...... Let's cut to the track and field competition first, and my colleague will continue to bring you live commentary. ”

It is precisely because CCTV 5 is so professional that they specialize in high-level games to broadcast live to increase ratings. Group B is the professional group, and the level is obviously higher than Group A.

Regardless of whether the TV station broadcasts the match of Group A live or not, the live match must continue. In fact, there are only two events in the 400m individual event, freestyle and medley, and the other swimming styles do not have 400m events.

After Du Ke has reached the platform of lane 5, it is about to take place in the men's 400m freestyle final of Group A.

In the 200m race that has just ended, there were five participants from Nam Canton province who did not win a medal, and their best place was fourth. Hu Yucheng gave Du Ke an order: Lao Tzu must come back with a medal!

According to international practice, in the finals, the on-site host will introduce the teams and names of the eight finalists one by one before departure.

The host of the scene adhered to the usual practice and began to introduce the contestants from the first lane.

When the host introduced the contestants, a leader on the rostrum stood up and said hello to the other leaders in front and behind, saying that he wanted to go to the bathroom.

There was a bald man sitting next to the leader who stood up, and the bald man cautiously asked the leader: "Director Qin, is this withdrawn?" ”

Director Qin patted the bald man's shoulder and said with a smile: "I've been sitting here for most of the day, I have to go to make it easier, right?" The 400m men's and women's races in Group A have to swim for at least half an hour, so I don't need to inspect the games in Group A, right? Let's go, build a forest, go out to breathe, and take one by the way. ”

"Leader, you know, I've quit smoking for half a year, don't tempt/confuse me. There are only a few hairs left, and if you smoke it again, you will be bald completely. I'll just leave it here and take a look, it's all here. The bald man touched the top of his shiny head and laughed at himself: "Hey, I said I'm only 39 years old this year, who would believe me?" ”

"Extremely smart, hehe." Director Qin quipped, and then walked in the direction of the exit.

Director Qin, the director of the Swimming Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sports, was invited to watch today's swimming final. The bald man who accompanied Director Qin is called Zhou Jianlin, and he is the first assistant coach of the national men's swimming team.

One is the leader of the swimming project department, and the other is the coach of the national team, and they came to the scene, on the one hand, to express the importance of the Universiade, and on the other hand, they also have the idea of inspecting swimming reserve talents. Of course, the focus is on the professional players who compete in Group B. In history, including many active swimmers, they all emerged at the Universiade and were selected for the national team.

As soon as Director Qin left the swimming pool, the 400-meter freestyle final began.

After swimming 100 meters, Duke felt like he had met one of his toughest opponents in a while, the one-piece swimsuit in lane 4 next to him.

Du Ke did not retain his strength after entering the water, but went all out, but after turning around for the third time, he found that he was already one and a half feet behind the players of the Zhedong team.

I was caught off guard!
