Chapter 087: 50 Frog Finals
The men's 50m backstroke final starts at 19:05:37 and ends at 19:06:05.
After the group change, the women's 50m backstroke final was held, and the group was changed again, followed by the men's 50m breaststroke final.
When Douc was behind the jump again and ready to start for the seventh time of the day, it was 19:23:09.
After the last 50-up final, after the time to go ashore, wave to the crowd, say hello to the other finalists, and walk back to the preparation area, Duke sat in his own preparation area for about 13 and a half minutes.
After a 13-and-a-half-minute break, Duke is back in the 50m breaststroke final.
Duke was a little tired, really tired, and it was evident from the pace of his walk to the departure area that it was not as easy as it had been during the day, but a little heavier.
On the first day, he swam eight 50m races, and on the second day, he swam two 50m and five 100m races.
Today, on the third day of competition, he has already competed four 200m, one 100m, and one 50m, and the distance of a single race is getting longer and longer, and there are more of them today.
What's worse is that after the 50-meter freestyle final, he will also participate in the semi-finals of the 100-meter freestyle non-stop. The 100 is the event that Duko has relied on to become famous, and it is a high-profile event, and he does not dare to be careless in the 100-meter freestyle.
And that's not all, after the 100m freestyle competition, there are still two finals, the 100m backstroke and breaststroke finals.
Unlike the preliminaries, which have many groups and many games, no matter what swimming style or distance the event is, there will be two semi-finals and one final.
Therefore, the night competition is basically a high-density continuous tour after game for Duke, and the only time to rest is during the women's competition.
There's no time to complain about the schedule, because the men's 50 breaststroke final has begun!
With a national record of 27.42 seconds in the semi-finals, Duke was in lane 4, because he had already driven the big water wheel in the 50 backs final, and now he can use only one stunt, a thousand miles.
Duke jumps vigorously and leads the way after entering the water.
Li Xiayan, the national number one player in lane 3, and Wang Lizhuo, a talented child in lane 5, formed a flanking attack on Du Ke and struggled to pursue Du Ke.
Li Xiayan is a frequent visitor to the national team, and Wang Litable, a newborn calf, is also quite impactful.
The two men pursued left and right, and Ducque's lead was gradually shrinking.
After the stunt is over, the physical strength is tight, and the situation seems to be very unfavorable for Duke.
"After all, Du Ke is a human being, not a god, compared to so many games, his physical strength has decreased a lot, it seems that Du Brush is finally going to lose a championship." The mustachioed reporter said.
Other reporters were silent, because this is the situation in the pool, after 25 meters, Du Ke's lead is almost gone, and Li Xiayan and Wang Lizhuo are both likely to surpass Du Ke at any time.
"He's really tired." Director Luo of the Nanyue swimming team said to himself, his words were full of distress.
"I told him a long time ago, give up 50 frogs, hey, this kid is too stubborn to help." Hu Yucheng's expression was a little worried, "Everyone has a limit, he will be abolished if he continues to play like this!" ”
Director Liang of the Nanyue Sports Bureau and Chairman Liu of the Swimming Association sat next to the two coaches Luo and Hu to watch the competition together.
The two leaders of Liang and Liu are both athletes, especially Chairman Liu, who also worked as a professional swimmer.
The two leaders had solemn expressions and deep thoughts, half of them were worried about the 50-frog champion, and most of them were worried about Duke's body.
In the No. 1 VIP area of the stands, Zhou Jianlin couldn't sit still, he had already stood up, and he could see from Du Ke's breathing rhythm in the first half that Du Ke really couldn't hold on.
As the head coach of Du Ke's national team, whether Du Ke can win this breaststroke championship is not the most important thing for Zhou Jianlin, he is afraid that Du Ke will be tired if he swims like this.
In the pool, there are still ten meters left, and Du, Li, and Wang are in the front, but the three of them are almost in unison, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.
And Li Xiayan and Wang Lizhuo's acceleration is still improving, and they are already trying to see the dagger and only seek the fatal blow in the final stage.
Looking at this situation, it is possible that Du Ke will be overtaken by both of them in the last few meters, and he will not even get second.
Duke has suffered his biggest dilemma since the start of the tournament.
Lose, yes, he could lose, and the result will be known in a few seconds.
With the last 5 meters left, Douc suddenly exploded, his strokes and kicks suddenly increased, and he sprinted towards the pool wall not far away.
He didn't want to lose.
It's the nature of an athlete, the desire to win, the pursuit of the championship, and no one wants to lose.
Duke has no stunts to play, and the final stage of the sprint is an instinctive outburst of a man in adversity.
Flat slashes are also capable of critical hits.
In the last 5 meters, Duke used all his remaining strength to rush towards the pool wall.
Hit the wall.
All the coaches and players of the Nanyue team stood up, most of the reporters in the media area stood up, and many spectators in the stands also stood up.
Du Ke, Li Xiayan, and Wang Lizhuo touched the wall almost at the same time.
The results on the big screen were swiped out at this time.
lane 4, 27.55 seconds;
Lane 3, 27.59 seconds;
Lane 5, 27.70 seconds;
……
Du Ke, Li Xiayan and Wang Lizhuo won the championship, second and third place respectively.
Duke finally won the championship in the 50-meter breaststroke, so far, he has won all the championships of the four major swimming styles in the 50-meter, and he has won all the four gold medals that have been decided.
Nanyue team preparation area, "I'm top, Du Ke, this kid is too draggy!" Can you still rush? Superman, hahaha, cow break! Hu Yucheng stroked his palms and laughed, and the worries just now suddenly disappeared.
In the media area, reporters broke out, just now they pinched a sweat for Du Ke, there was no danger, Du Brush really did not disappoint everyone, this 50-meter breaststroke final, although Du Ke did not refresh the record he held, but after all, he brushed another gold medal.
"Who just said, 'Duke is a man and not a god after all', isn't it? He is God, a great God! "Die-hard fans of Douc have found a reason to continue the party.
The mustachioed reporter didn't dare to speak, this sentence is what he just said.
In the VIP area of the stands, Zhou Jianlin took a long breath, "This kid, it seems that I still underestimate him, he seems to have endless energy." ”
The audience was even more excited, witnessing Douc brush up the gold medal in each 50-meter stroke, a feat that is unusual for them.
The thunderous cheers and applause resounded in the swimming pool, and Du Ke made the audience feel good, and the audience naturally did not skimp on their praise.
Amid the cheers of the whole building, Duke went ashore.
Instead of waving his hand in thanks to the stands on either side, as he usually did, he sat down on the ground, unable to stand up.
Duke gasped and said to the assistant referee next to him, "No...... Excuse me, referee, I'm cramping, can I ask our team doctor to come over......"
