Chapter 548: Du Ke: I hope the ninth gold is 100 self
The Chinese team lost first and then won, stubbornly catching up after falling behind, and finally narrowly defeated the United States team and won the first Olympic gold medal in the swimming relay in China's history. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Both the Chinese and American teams swam into 7 minutes, and this is a high-level matchup!" The media of various countries have made similar comments.
The Chinese team swam 6:58.73, narrowly beating the American team by 0.16 seconds, in fact, Duke won Phelps less than a small arm's length.
Both teams came close to breaking the world record and the Olympic record, with the world record of 6:58.55 being 0.01 seconds faster than the Olympic record.
When the world record and Olympic record were set that year, all four American athletes wore sharkskin fast swimsuits, and it was indeed very difficult to break these two records.
However, the Chinese team also swam the fastest 4x200 self-finish since the sharkskin era, and broke their own Asian record.
The system prompted Duke: "Won the Olympic men's 4x200m freestyle relay championship and set a new Asian record, earning a total of 35 bonus points and a balance of 140 bonus points." ”
"As one of the first members of the Asian team to win the Olympic swimming relay event, the host made history by awarding 1 honor point, 13 honor points for the balance, 1 flash of honor credit, and 2 medals of honor."
It has indeed made history, the Chinese men's and women's swimming teams have won the relay event at the World Swimming Championships, but no Asian team has ever won a gold medal in the swimming relay at the Olympic Games.
The four Chinese men's team members who made history raised their arms in celebration and looked excited.
Duke won his eighth Olympic gold medal, tying the record set by Phelps at the '08 Olympics in the Chinese capital.
Sun Yang, Wang Shun, and Shang Keyuan also became champions and Olympic champions.
Sun Yang won the first gold medal in this Olympic Games, plus the 200 self-silver medal and 400 self-bronze medal won a few days ago, his current personal record is 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze.
Sun Yang still has the last individual event in Rio 1500, if he can win the 1500 free gold medal, his results in Rio are just the same as when he was in London four years ago--- 2 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze, two Olympic Games can brush seven or eight Olympic medals, he is a fierce general.
Shang Keyuan hugged Wang Shun, he was crying.
Wang Shun patted Shang Keyuan's back: "Hey, hey, don't cry, don't cry, the whole world is broadcasting!" ”
"Brother Shun...... I'm an Olympic champion...... I'm an Olympic champion too! Shang Keyuan cried with joy.
Wang Shun: "Don't cry, laugh, you are an Olympic champion, we are all Olympic champions!" Let's go, get the prize and go! ”
……
The men's 4x200m freestyle relay was the final race of the night, and the medal ceremony took place immediately after the race.
Four members of Great Britain finished on the podium, followed by the United States on the runner-up podium.
Phelps looked a little depressed, and twelve years ago at the Athens Olympics, the 19-year-old Phelps led the United States to victory over Australia, who dominated the men's 4x200 self-entry event at the time. Since then, the U.S. team, which owns Phelps, has never let the relay change hands.
However, just now, the U.S. team with Phelps was far ahead of the first three sticks, and the last Phelps was blown by Duke more than 10 meters, and they narrowly lost the gold medal by 0.16 seconds, and their hopes of winning four consecutive Olympic titles in this event were dashed.
Phelps took his Olympic gold medal tally to 19 with the gold medal in the 4x100m freestyle relay, but he was unable to round up --- 20 golds.
Phelps was depressed, only to listen to the host of the swimming pool in Portuguese and English: "The winner of the men's 4x200m freestyle relay is ...... China! ”
Wang Shun, Du Ke, Sun Yang, and Shang Keyuan stood in a row behind the winner's podium, each holding the shoulders of their teammates next to them, their right feet on the podium, and their left feet still on the ground.
The four of them were not in a hurry to go on stage, but were posing collectively, full of aura.
I have laughed, cried, dreamed, and longed, the Olympic champion is really here, and even newcomers like Shang Keyuan are full of confidence.
At this time, the four Olympic champions of the Chinese team stood on the championship podium with their heads held high, and their spirits were flying.
A head of the Brazilian Olympic Organising Committee awarded four bronze medals to the British team, and the four members of the British team looked a little disappointed, but they were okay with the result.
Immediately afterwards, the four members of the U.S. team won a silver medal each, and they looked very sorry and seemed to find it difficult to accept the result.
In the end, the four members of the Chinese team wore golden Olympic gold medals around their necks, and the four boys were very happy, and they could fully accept the result.
The Chinese national anthem was played for the seventh time in four days at the Olympic Aquatics Center, playing more frequently than the national anthems of other countries.
The five-star red flag, the star-striped flag, and the rice-shaped flag were raised at the same time, and the five-star red flag was the highest, followed by the star-striped banner and the rice-shaped flag.
China, the United States and Great Britain are the top three in the men's relay, and these three countries are also the top three in the gold medal table.
Of course, the Olympics are not just about swimming, but the number of gold medals that swimming has contributed to a country should not be underestimated.
The Chinese delegation currently tops the gold medal table with 15 gold medals, of which 7 are swimming gold medals, nearly half.
The U.S. team came in second with nine gold medals, including four in swimming, with Lilly King (women's 100 breaststroke), Ledecky (women's 200 free/400 free) and men's 4x100 free. The United States also relies on swimming to build its foundation, and without Duke, the American men's swimming may have won three more gold medals.
With the advent of the follow-up competitions and the start of each individual event, the gold medal battles of the three strong delegations of China, the United States and the United Kingdom will be fiercely staged in each major event. There's nothing more refreshing than beating the other two head-on to win the gold medal.
……
On the morning of August 10, Rio time, the fifth day of competition arrived.
Du Ke didn't have to compete in major events today, and at 9 o'clock in the morning, he was invited to the Rio studio of CCTV 5 to participate in the live broadcast of the "Fengyun Meeting" program. Olympic champions or Internet celebrities like Fu Yuanhui will be invited to "Fengyun Club" as a guest.
Du Ke has come to Fengyun for the third time in five days, the first time is after winning the first gold medal of the Chinese delegation, and the second time is after winning his fifth Olympic gold medal.
Today is the third time, and Doucle now has eight Olympic gold medals in his hands.
The host of "Fengyun Club" is Mr. Zhang, who is an old friend of Du Ke.
Teacher Zhang: "Duke, you have won 8 Olympic gold medals in Rio, in fact, you have made history, the history of Chinese and Asians. If you win one more gold, you will create a world-class glorious history. ”
Du Ke faced the camera and looked confident: "Tomorrow at 9 a.m. China time, I will participate in the men's 100m freestyle final, the 100 free means a lot to me, and the 100 free Olympic runner-up is a failure for me." Dear spectators and friends, tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, please support me to hit my 9th Olympic gold --- men's 100m freestyle! (To be continued.) )
