After breaking the world record in the 400 mixed preliminaries, Du Ke returned to the preparation area of the Chinese team.

At this time, the women's 200-meter freestyle relay preliminaries began, and ten minutes later, the first group of the women's 200-meter freestyle relay preliminaries ended, and no referee came to the Chinese team's preparation area to ask Du Ke to go for a urine test.

After another ten minutes, the second group of the women's 200 self-relay preliminaries ended, and the preparation area of the Chinese team was quiet, and there was still no referee who came to ask Du Ke to take a urine test.

Duke himself couldn't sit still, as soon as he broke the world record yesterday, a referee immediately came to arrest him for a urine test, what happened today? There was no movement.

Du Ke got up, walked out of the Chinese team's preparation area, found the bearded assistant referee, and asked the assistant referee: "Mr. referee, I have set a new world record in the men's 400 mixed, don't I need to do a urine test?" Or my record-breaking results were not recognized. ”

"Admit it, let's take a urine test later." The assistant referee's answer was concise and to the point.

Du Ke: "Isn't it written in Article 27 of the FINA rules and regulations that athletes who break world records have to take a urine test immediately. ”

Assistant referee: "Just do it once today, and we'll take you to the urine test center after all the games are over today." He said it so right.

Duke: "But that's not what you said yesterday. ”

The assistant referee had a black line on his face: "If there are no other problems, then please return to the team immediately and prepare for the next game, I still have work to do." "After saying that, it flashed, and it was completely different from yesterday's performance.

Du Ke returned to the preparation area of the Chinese team, he found Director Qin and asked, "Director Qin, have you communicated with FINA?" Why didn't anyone arrest me for a urine test today? ”

Director Qin was also a little puzzled: "Yesterday I communicated with a vice president of FINA, and that European Yankee was full of officialdom and falsehood, and he had been avoiding reality and prevaricating me. I am the honorary president of the Chinese Swimming Association, and I have no position within FINA. Chairman Fu of the Chinese Swimming Association is a director of FINA, but he has been in poor health recently and has been recuperating at home for a long time and has not come to Barcelona. ”

"But even if the old man comes, I'm afraid he won't be able to say anything, he's just a director. Yesterday, I reported the situation to the senior leaders of the Sports Federation, but it is difficult to save the fire from far away, so I may not be able to do a good job of public relations so quickly, right? If the leaders above get it, they will definitely notify me, so that I can rest assured and you can participate in the following competitions with peace of mind. ”

Du Ke pondered for a few seconds, and said to himself, "Is it really her?" ”

Director Qin asked, "Who?" ”

There have been too many strange things in the past two days, and Du Ke feels that it is time to report the relevant situation to the leader, "Director Qin, I received a text message from a stranger last night, I thought it was a harassing text message, and I didn't take it seriously, so I didn't report it to you last night." Now that I think about it, it seems like there is still a bit of a doorway. Here's what it was......" he made a long story short, and it took him two or three minutes to briefly recount the situation of last night.

"Oh?" After listening to this, Director Qin was thoughtful, and then said: "Du Ke, this kind of thing should be told to me as soon as possible in the future, after all, I have seen more things than you, and I still have experience in some aspects." Based on the situation you just reflected, I think it is a good thing or a bad thing. ”

"In fact, the relationship between the Chinese Swimming Association and FINA is average, and there are many reasons for this, which are difficult to explain, you probably know it, and I will talk to you in detail when I have time. You must also firmly believe that although the energy and international influence of our Chinese Swimming Association and Swimming Sports Management Center are limited, we still have the General Administration and national strength behind us, and the motherland is our strongest backing. ”

"As China's comprehensive national strength and global influence continue to grow, many things will be properly resolved over time. Of course, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and it is not excluded that there are some diehards who want to be our enemies because of their political stance, monopoly of power/interests, and incompatibility of ideology, etc., and we will never compromise or compromise on these hostile elements who are resolutely unwilling to cooperate. ”

"However, we also have to pay attention to the method, FINA includes most of the international sports organizations, associations, federations, there are clear regulations that the government is not allowed to interfere in the sport, so I went to negotiate with FINA as the honorary chairman of the Chinese Swimming Association, not an official of the Sports Federation Swimming Management Center. Although our national power is strong, it is not convenient to directly interfere with international sports organizations, so we need some powerful non-governmental spokespersons to help us do something. ”

Duke asked, "Can this Amy be our folk spokesperson?" ”

Director Qin: "I can't draw conclusions for the time being, and I need to observe and understand it in depth before I can make a qualification." You haven't met her in person, she speaks Chinese, but what does she look like, whether she's yellow or white or mixed, you know? Do you dare to trust her 100%? What is her background, are there other organizations and forces behind her, and if so, what is their attitude towards China? But on the surface, this Amy is not hostile to us, at least she is friendly to you. ”

"So I think that this Amy is a good or bad person or organization for us, it depends on how to treat it and use it. Don't have too much contact with her until we get to know her background thoroughly. You have signed an endorsement contract with Hong Kong Bode Company, and this contract is no problem, and we have also reviewed it. You can participate in business activities within the scope of the contract, after all, you have to fulfill the terms of the contract if you receive money from others. ”

"But Duke, you should also pay attention, anything outside of the contract, don't talk to them about specific details, talk and do things with both truth and reserve, if there are any sensitive matters for them to come to me. All in all, friend or foe, need to be further confirmed, understand? ”

Duke nodded: "Understood." Leader, I don't know if I don't listen to you, the water in the circle is really deep......"

Director Qin smiled: "You are a world champion in swimming, no matter how deep the water is, it can't drown you." Yo, the men's 200 self-relay race has begun, don't say it, hurry up and prepare to go to the game, I'll deal with things outside the pool, according to the 0034 mobile phone number you provided, I will report to my superiors and send an intermediary to contact her to find out the situation. All you have to do in these two days is concentrate on the game, from the beginning to the end. ”

At this time, the men's 4*200m freestyle relay preliminaries group 1 competition has ended, and the second group preliminaries are about to begin.

The Chinese men's 4*200m freestyle relay team was divided into lane 7 of Group 2 of the preliminaries, and the four-person basemen participating in the preliminaries were: 1 Du Ke, 2 Li Yunqi, 3 Wang Shun, and 4 Sun Yang.

Among them, Sun Yang and Li Yunqi participated in the final of the men's 4*200m freestyle relay at the London Olympics last year, and won the first relay medal in the history of the Chinese men's swimming team in the Olympic history, and they won an Olympic bronze medal. At that time, the basemen of the Chinese team were: 1 Hao Yun, 2 Li Yunqi, 3 Jiang Haiqi, 4 Sun Yang.

Now, Jiang Haiqi is replacing Wang Shun, who is currently in better shape, and Du Ke is replacing Hao Yun as the opening general of the Chinese team.

Compared with the Olympic lineup, the lineup of the Chinese men's 4*200m freestyle relay team has been changed by half, assuming that Sun Yang and Li Yunqi can swim the best times in the Olympic Games, and Wang Shun and Jiang Haiqi's results can be equal, then the strength of this relay team has also become stronger, because the first baton is Du Ke, he must be faster than Hao Yun.

This relay team has two stars, Du Ke and Sun Yang, and its strength is not lost to strong teams such as the United States, France, Australia, and Russia. Last year, without Duke, they relied on Sun Yang's strong outburst at the last stick to grab an Olympic bronze medal. With Duke this year, what will they achieve at the World Championships?

We'll see.

At this time, the starting order sounded, and the Chinese team's first bat, Du Ke, began to advance after entering the water.

Sun Yang said that he was not good at swimming the first stick, so the coach arranged for Du Ke to swim the first stick. In the 4*100m freestyle relay, Duke swam the last stick, and now he has no problem swimming the first stick.

In the 400 mixed preliminaries just now, Duke drove all the stunts, and the CDs of the Leap and the Big Water Wheel are over and can be used again, but the 4 times the dolphin turns have been used up, and it will take another twenty minutes to farm a new 4. There are also 20 minutes left for 8 leg beats to end the cooldown.

Although there were no dolphin turns and eight kicks available, Duke swam a first time of 1:42.35 after a 1,000-mile leap and a big water wheel, and he was one position ahead of the second-place French team Agnel, who won the gold medal in the 200 free.

The Olympic champion was still thrown out of position by Du Ke, who didn't stunt in full swing, and Du Ke handed a clear lead to teammate Li Yunqi.

Li Yunqi and Wang Shun withstood the fierce pursuit of players from all over the world, Sun Yang rushed the last stick and touched the wall first, and the Chinese team won the first place in the second group of the preliminaries, with a score of 7:04.33.

In the end, the Chinese team's preliminaries time of 7:04.33 ranked second among the 16 teams, second only to the first place of the American team with a time of 7:04.02.

In fact, Sun Yang had reservations in the last stick, and Du Ke's stunts were not fully opened, in the finals, if Du and Sun were full of firepower, they would win nine out of ten medals, and it was not delusional to rush for gold.

After the 200-meter freestyle relay, the 100-meter backstroke final began.

In the first women's 100 back final, American Missy Franklin, known as the women's version of the Flying Fish, won the gold medal, which was her fourth gold medal at the World Championships.

So far, Franklin has won the most gold medals among women, ranking second among all men's and women's players with 4 golds, and Duke has won the most gold medals, with 10 gold medals alone.

The U.S. men's swimming team observed a moment of silence, they were very frustrated, they were the former hegemon of swimming, and they felt very ashamed that the penultimate day of the World Championships had not won a gold medal for the U.S. men's team. The Americans can only rely on the female man Franklin to fight with Duke for the gold medal.

On the men's side, 12 gold medals have been won in individual events, of which the Chinese men's team snatched 10 gold medals (9 gold medals for Du Ke and 1 400 gold medal for Sun Yang), and the remaining two gold medals were won by the South African team (50 frogs - Van der Bergh, 200 butterflies - Le Clos).

In the relay race, a gold medal was produced, which was also taken away by the Chinese men's 4*100m freestyle relay team.

Therefore, in the men's gold medal list, the Chinese men's team topped the list with 11 golds, the South African men's team ranked second with 2 golds, and the United States, European teams, and Australia tied for third with 0 golds......

Not to mention catching up with the Chinese team, traditional strong teams such as Europe, the United States and Australia may not even be able to catch up with the South African men's swimming team.

There are still two competition days left, and on the men's side, the remaining gold medals in 7 events, including the 100 back, 200 mixed, 400 mixed, 800 free, 1500 freestyle, 4*200m freestyle relay, and 4*100m medley relay, have not yet been produced.

Du Ke will participate in the 100 back, 200 mixed and 400 mixed individual competitions, and Sun Yang will participate in the finals of the 800 self and 1500 free. The 4*200-meter freestyle relay team led by Du Ke and Sun Yang, and the 4*100-meter medley relay team formed by Du Ke and Ning Zetao once again also have the strength to win gold.

The traditional men's strong teams such as Europe, the United States and Australia must show the courage and determination of "men should be self-reliant" and "never be the sick man of Europe and the United States", otherwise, they are very likely to create a strange record: in a swimming World Championships, the men's swimming teams of the United States, European powers, Australia and other countries were powerless in the face of the unscrupulous and crazy plundering of the Chinese invaders, and they could not get a gold medal in the end......
