Chapter 545: Jin Ke Rival Country
"! The Chinese legend killed the American legend in seconds! ”
"Duke broke the world record in 1:48.70 to win the championship, and Phelps won the second place in 1:52.85. www.biquge.info The Chinese reporters at the swimming pool warmly summarized the just-concluded men's 200 butterfly final.
"Duke won his seventh Olympic gold medal, this 200 butterfly gold medal is the 14th gold medal of the Chinese delegation, we are far ahead in the gold medal table, the second United States has won a total of 8 golds, and the United Kingdom is third, 5 golds. The United States and the United Kingdom together have one less gold medal than China! Ha ha! ”
"In fact, the Chinese delegation mainly relied on Du Ke to win gold medals, and he won 7 gold medals alone, accounting for half of China's 14 gold medals."
"If Duke participates in the Olympics as an independent, he will temporarily rank second in the gold medal table in terms of the number of gold medals he has won, tied for second with the Chinese delegation, better than the United Kingdom as a whole, and second only to the United States."
"I heard that Nickelodeon gave Duke a $1.2 billion lifetime contract, and $1.2 billion wants to keep our big demon king for decades? Think beautifully! How much does it cost to cover the entire British delegation for decades? At least £10 billion! ”
"If there is no Du Ke, it is a bit dangerous for the Chinese delegation to keep the second place in the gold medal table, you see, the Chinese delegation has cut off Du Ke's 7 golds, and there are still 7 golds left. Phelps is the runner-up in the 200 butterfly, Murphy and Xu Jiayu are tied for the 100 back runner-up, but without Duke's leverage, Xu Jiayu may still be the runner-up, and Murphy is likely to win the 100 back gold medal. Phelps and Murphy are equivalent to Duke snatching 2 gold medals from the US team to the pocket of the Chinese team, and there are 4 gold medals inside and out.
"Similarly, Duke also snatched a gold medal from Team Britain, and if Douce didn't compete in the 100 Breaststrokes, then Britain's Adam Peaty would definitely be the 100 Frog Champion."
"All in all, Du Ke alone is equivalent to half of the Chinese delegation......"
……
The top four countries in the London 2012 gold medal table are the United States (46 golds), China (38 golds), the United Kingdom (29 golds), and Russia (24 golds), which can be called the Big Four, because South Korea won 13 gold medals in fifth place, far behind Russia in fourth place, and the boundaries between the first and second groups are divided between Russia and South Korea.
204 countries participated in the 2012 London Olympics, and the four giants of the first group, including the United States, China, Britain and Russia, won a total of 137 of the 302 gold medals, accounting for 45%. The remaining 55% of the gold medals are divided among 200 other countries.
Due to the cripplement of Russia, at the Rio Olympics, the Big Four of the First Group became the Big Three, and China, the United States, and the United Kingdom still occupy the top three positions in the gold medal table, but the ranking has changed somewhat, and China is currently at the top of the list with 14 golds, and the United States and the United Kingdom have one less gold medal than China.
IOC President Thomas Bach, who was at the swimming pool at the time, told one of his IOC members: "Because of Ducques, the overall pattern of the Olympic Games has changed significantly, which may lead to a chain reaction, and the distribution of interests between the giants may be reshuffled." ”
The commissioner, who had a distinctly East Asian face, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiled, "That's not a bad thing, is it, Mr. Chairman?" ”
Bach: "Of course it's not a bad thing for you Chinese. ”
Member: "Mr. President, I have a reluctant request, when Duke gets his 9th gold, I want to present him with an award. ”
Bach was a little embarrassed: "According to the current situation, Duke is very likely to win his ninth gold medal tomorrow night, the ninth gold medal that will make new Olympic history, if nothing else, will come from swimming." As originally planned, the FINA President will award the ninth gold medal to Ducques. ”
The committee member smiled: "At the Olympic Games, the president of FINA also has to listen to the arrangement of the president of the Olympic Committee, and you must know that this is the Olympic Games, not the World Swimming Championships." Mr. President, my father and I have been committed to the development of the Olympic Movement for decades, and our original intention has never changed. In the next five years, I plan to invest a total of HK$10 billion to continue the development of the Olympic Movement, and I would like to ask for your support and guidance. ”
Bach's face did not change but his heart was surging, he quickly calculated how much 10 billion Hong Kong dollars is converted into US dollars, almost a billion US dollars, and more than one billion US dollars for five years to sponsor the International Olympic Committee, this rich man from Hong Kong, China is really generous.
Bach immediately said: "Thank you, Mr. He, for your great contribution to the Olympic Movement over the decades. You and Doucle are Chinese, and I believe it is fitting that you present Doucle with his ninth Olympic gold......"
……
In the competition area, all eight players participating in the men's 200 butterfly went ashore, and Duke, Phelps, and Shiho Sakai won the championship, second and third place respectively.
Phelps shook his head, he knew he had lost, and he had lost quite a lot. At his peak, he set the 200 butterfly world record of 1:51.51, while Duke had just swam an astonishing time of 1:48.70.
Phelps still took the initiative to shake hands with Duke very graciously: "You did a good job. ”
Despite losing, Phelps still holds his head high, perhaps he is the kind of character.
But Duke caught a hint of reluctance in Phelps' eyes, and he shook Phelps' hand and said, "Michael, you're doing a good job too." ”
"See you later." Phelps said.
"See you later." Duke Road.
The two legends in the pool, old and new, exchanged brief and friendly views after the race, but secretly prepared for the second round of the men's 4x200m freestyle relay final.
About two hours later, the men's 4x200m freestyle relay final will be held, with China and the United States both finalists, and Duke and Phelps as the core of their respective relay teams. Before that, Duke had to play in two semifinals.
Although he swam four races in just over two hours, Douc felt that swimming was much easier than cycling. Perhaps he has become accustomed to the rhythm of swimming a few shots in one night, which he has done all these years, and the key is that there is a break between the swimming competition courts, which is precious to Duke.
Then came the women's 200m freestyle final, where Ledecky won a gold medal for Team USA, her second gold medal at the Games.
With Ledecky's women's 200 self-gold medal, the total number of gold medals won by the U.S. delegation rose to nine, continuing to catch up with the Chinese delegation.
Swimming is a big gold medalist, and if a country wants to achieve a high ranking in the total number of gold medals, swimming pool is a must to fight.
There are more gold medals in track and field, but track and field gold is often a country as a whole, and it is rare to see a track and field athlete brush more than three gold medals in one Olympic Games, and the current personal record is four gold medals in one session, which is held by two legendary superstars of American track and field, Jesse Owens and Carl Lewis.
The god-like Bolt has only brushed up to 3 gold medals in an Olympic Games, and no one restricts him from signing up for four, five, and n track and field events, but Bolt only plays 100 meters, 200 meters, and 4 by 100 relay runs.
The swimming gold medal is more of a competition for superstars in various countries, and the individual gold strength of superstars, there are many swimming superstars who can win three golds, four golds and hardware in an Olympic Games, and the current personal record is that Phelps holds 8 golds in one session, which was created in the 08 Olympics.
Phelps, who won eight Olympic gold medals in '08, was 23 years old at the time.
Duke, who also happens to be 23 years old this year, is expected to equal Phelps' record of eight gold medals tonight and surpass Phelps tomorrow night. (To be continued.) )
