At noon on November 17, Duke swam the last preliminaries he participated in, the 4*100m freestyle relay.

He now holds three tickets to the finals, the 400 free, 100 free, and 4 x 100m freestyle relay.

The most tickets for the men's team final is Sun Yang, who has four tickets: 200 free, 400 free, 1500 free, and 4*200 relay.

There are a total of 32 men's and women's swimming events in the Asian Championships, and all the competitors sent by the Chinese team have entered the finals of 32 events, as well as the Japanese team and the South Korean team will participate in the finals of 28 of the 32 events.

China, Japan and South Korea dominate the Asian swimming scene, and the overall strength of the teams in the second group, such as Singapore, China, TAIBEI, Hong Kong, Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia, cannot compete with the top three teams in East Asia, but they also have the strength to compete for medals and even gold medals in some individual events.

Excluding the three relay races, in 13 individual events, the Chinese women's team is full of two people entering the finals. The number of Chinese men's team entering the individual event finals is 24 people, and the weaker event than the short distance freestyle is the backstroke, in the 50-meter and 100-meter freestyle events, the Chinese men's team can send at least two people to the finals, but in the men's backstroke event, the Chinese men's team only 17-year-old Xu Jiayu is the main beam, and he will participate in the 100 and 200 backstroke finals. Originally, there was also a main backstroke player Zhang Fenglin, but he was injured before coming to Dubai and had to give up traveling with the team. The overstretched coaches really couldn't find a backstroke substitute who met the registration requirements, so they could only arrange Xu Jiayu to participate in the backstroke competition.

On November 18, the final of the swimming competition began.

The number of spectators at the Emirates Natatorium finally increased, more than a thousand.

In the first three days of the preliminaries, the competition scene was too deserted, and the Asian Swimming Federation was unhappy, and they asked the Dubai organizers to attract more spectators to watch the finals.

Dubai's organizers also apologized, they just wanted to increase their continental influence by hosting the Asian Championships, and they also temporarily added more than 4,000 seats before the games, which is not to be ignored. After the preliminaries, the Dubai organizers must have adopted some methods to attract spectators, and many locals in big robes came to the competition today.

There are more audiences, the athletes are more motivated, and the media friends on the scene will also feel a stronger sense of substitution.

Reporters and photographers from all over the world set up long guns and short guns, and on-site commentators put on headphones to prepare to start the commentary. Even Singapore has sent commentators to explain on the spot, the Singapore swimming team, including the diving team, have hired Chinese coaches to coach, in recent years, their strength has improved by leaps and bounds, Singapore men's team Huang Kaiwei and women's team Lin Xiangqi, Tao Li have the strength to win medals.

The first final was the men's 200m freestyle final.

The organizing committee also took great pains to attract popularity, and the strong players in the 200-meter freestyle final were like clouds, including Sun Yang and Park Tae-hwan, the two big stars who competed with each other, as well as the fifth place in the London Olympics Matsuda Zhangzhi, 200 is the main event of Matsuda Zhangzhi, as well as China's new force Hao Yun, who was the fourth place in the London Olympics 400 freestyle, and won the Olympic bronze medal in the 4*200m freestyle relay with Sun Yang.

The organizing committee hopes to use the star lineup to make a good start, create some ignition points, and set off the atmosphere of watching the game.

Sun Yang and Park Tae-hwan still have a high international reputation, the host introduced the finalists in Arabic and English bilingually, and when Sun Yang and Park Tae-hwan were introduced in lanes 4 and 5, there was a burst of boiling sound on the scene. The audience of East Asian faces is mostly tourists from China, Japan, South Korea, Xingang and Taiwan and other countries and regions, they basically know the two stars Sun and Park, and many of them are still fans of these two stars, and fans naturally spare no effort to cheer for their idols.

The local Arab audience is not very interested in swimming, and many of them come to see the lively pictures. If the equestrian and camel races that the Arabs love are to be held in China, few Chinese spectators will go to see them, right? The people who go to see it are novel and interesting, and take a picture on the spot and send it to the circle of friends to highlight their unique non-mainstream taste style.

But when the Arab audience heard the host's introduction, Sun Yang and Park Tae-hwan had a long list of championship titles and record-breaking resumes, and they also felt that these two East Asians seemed to be quite hanging. So the Arab audience also followed the wind, applause, waiting to see the excitement.

Sun Yang and Park Tae-hwan are in the adjacent lanes of lane 4 and 5, and they can't remember how many times they have experienced this kind of competition in the past few years.

Son and Park are the top names in the men's 400 freestyle, and they are also among the top three in the world in the 200 freestyle. In the 200 free final at the London Olympics, both men lost to French phenom Agnel and tied for second place with a time of 1:44.93.

Sun Yang didn't look at Park Tae-hwan, and Park Tae-hwan didn't look at Sun Yang on the left-hand side, both of them looked at the other end of the pool, ready to fight.

The game begins.

Sun Yang rose strongly after entering the water, and wanted to suppress Park Tae-hwan at the beginning. Park Tae-hwan is also not conservative, he is-for-tat to implement counter-repression.

Hao Yun in lane 6 had the courage of a newborn calf, and he and Sun Yang pinched Park Tae-hwan on a right and a left, putting double pressure on the South Koreans.

The two teams of China and South Korea are torn apart, Matsuda Zhangzhi in lane 3 doesn't care about the love and hate between the two of you, he swims himself well, but his high-frequency assault also caused side pressure on Sun Yang in lane 4.

The Chinese two generals will work together to pinch South Korea's Oba, South Korea's Oba is struggling to break through, can the Japanese veteran's rich experience take advantage of the fisherman's advantage?

After swimming 100 meters, the four people were on par, and the situation was very stale.

"Sun Yang! Sun Yang! Keep it up! "The Chinese commentators are very engaged.

"Taiheng! Taiheng! Beyond and beyond! "The Korean commentator was excited.

"Matsuda-kun! Dry daddy, try to surpass China and South Korea! "The Japanese commentators are full of anticipation.

At this time, it entered the final sprint stage, Sun Yang and Park Taehuan were slightly ahead, the moment they touched the wall, Sun Yang, who had an amazing arm span, touched the wall first with a slight advantage, and the advanced timing system in the venue immediately brushed out the results, Sun Yang won the championship with a score of 1:44.56, Park Taehuan won the second place with a difference of 0.44 seconds, and Hao Yun was third.

In the first final, Park Tae-hwan finally failed to defeat Sun Yang to complete his revenge, he still has three chances, can he get his wish?

Sun Yang won the first gold medal in the Asian Championships, and as the number one star in the team, he made a good start for the Chinese swimming team.

In the other 200m finals that followed, the Chinese men's team and the Japanese men's team were evenly divided, with Wang Shun winning the men's 200 mixed gold medal, Wu Peng winning the 200 butterfly championship, Tachishi Liang winning the 200 frog crown, and Ryosuke Irie snatching the 200 back gold medal.

The Chinese women's team strongly crushed the women's teams of other countries and won all five gold medals in the 200m event.

Watching his teammates win gold and silver, Du Ke couldn't hold back for a long time, but he didn't play today, so he could only watch his teammates shine.

Finally, on November 19th, Duke will compete in two finals today, the 400 free in the morning and the 100 free at 7 pm.
