Chapter 568 The gold medal is precious, but the transcendence price is even higher
50 meters is the shortest distance in the long pool swim, so short that you don't even make a turn. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Olympic swimming competition only has a 50-meter freestyle, and there are no 50 butterflies, 50 backs, and 50 breasts.
The men's 50m freestyle final is about to begin, and eight competitors have already stood on the diving platform, waiting for the start signal.
Excellent men's 50 self-athletes, after entering the water, they basically go to the side in one breath, change their breath after taking off and diving out of the water, and then hold this breath until they hit the wall.
"Whew...... ......"Most of the players are taking deep breaths, and you can see their pectoralis major muscles rise and fall significantly. They are stimulating the excitatory activity of their cardiopulmonary system.
"Whew...... Hu ...... "Duke is also doing this, to say that among all the swimming events in the Olympic Games, he is not absolutely assured of the single event, that is, the 50 free."
There is at least one turn in other individual events, and even if the first 50 meters are not adjusted, one turn will allow Duke to check and fill in the gaps. However, 50 did not turn around, which means that Duke has to give his all from the start of the jump, without a trace of carelessness.
"We're left with fewer and fewer opportunities." The American commentator at the on-site commentary seat of the swimming pool said.
"It's true, and it's a fact that I don't want to accept it, but that's what it is." The American commentator said, "Let the Americans and the British, the Australians, the Japanese, the South Africans, the Italians, the Canadians ...... Or to the embarrassment of Americans, Europeans, Australians, Africans, and Asians other than China, the men's swimmers from these continents failed to win a gold medal in the individual event on the penultimate day of swimming. ”
In fact, only the U.S. team won a gold medal in the 4x100m freestyle relay, and the rest of the men's swimming gold medals were taken by the Chinese team, and it should be said that they were all taken by Duke alone. If the Chinese relay team did not have Du Ke, they would definitely not have won the gold medal in the 4x200m freestyle relay. ”
American commentator: "It's really embarrassing, I've been commenting on swimming since Sydney 2000, and this is the fifth time I've been commenting on an Olympic swimming event, and I've never felt so embarrassed." In 2000, Australia owned Thorpe, and their overall strength could rival that of the United States. ”
"But I never felt the slightest bit of pressure at that time, and now I would say that Duco is several notches stronger than Sorp, and he makes me feel hopeless, oh God, I hate this terrible feeling!"
"Good luck to Erwin and Adrian, may God bless them."
Honk!
That's when the men's 50m freestyle final begins.
Douc had a clear advantage in the start, diving to 15 metres after a thousand jumps, and he was a head ahead of the board.
After changing his breath, Duke hung the [Water-Avoiding Golden Eye Beast] and swam in with his breath, and at the same time turned on the [Big Water Wheel] + [8 Leg Fights].
50 is like this, you have to rush with all your strength at the beginning.
Manado, Erwin, and Adrian were doing the same thing, and they all held their breath and rushed forward, hoping that a miracle would happen, and hopefully they would pick up the leak.
However, Duke didn't give them a chance, and he opened up all the stunts he could in a matter of seconds, swimming 25 meters to extend his lead to half a body.
By this time, Doucle's fingertips had already touched the world record line, and the men's 50 self world record was 20.87 seconds.
Only two people in history have swam under 21 seconds, one is Brazilian titan Cielo Jr., who must be missing the retired Sielo Jr.
The other is Duke, who has swiped the 20.91 seconds men's 50 world record held by Arciello to 20.87 seconds.
In the men's 50-meter freestyle, a few hundredths of a second is considered a grade, and many times 0.01 seconds can determine a ranking.
Duke continued to speed up the frequency of his arm strokes, and the water splashed from his legs, and after two rounds of arm strokes and leg cycles, he was already facing the world record line, and there were still seventeen or eighteen meters to the side.
At this time, Duke was already half a body ahead of the second place, and the second place was not sure who it was, Manado, Erwin, Adrian and South Africa's Tanti, who looked like they were on the same level.
After swimming more than 30 meters, Duke's lead by half a body was already a clear advantage, and he continued to accelerate, not giving his opponent the slightest chance to turn the tables.
"Duke is swimming with the world record line, and he has pressed the world record line!"
"And the last 15 meters!"
"Douca's lead is huge, and it's hard for others to catch up with him within 15 meters, unless a miracle happens!"
In the on-site commentary seat of the swimming pool, commentators from various countries explained the battle situation of the men's 50 self finals in various languages.
With 15 meters remaining, Duke pressed the world record line and rushed to the pool wall at full speed, while the other competitors could not touch the world record line of 20.87 seconds with all their might.
In the final 15 meters, the world record line suddenly launched a fierce counterattack against Doucle, and it made a noticeable breakthrough, instantly rushing from Doke's chest to his face.
It's not that Duke is swimming slowly at this time, but that Duke has a convulsion three years ago.
The world record of 20.87 seconds was set by Duke at the World Swimming Championships in Barcelona three years ago, and in that men's 50 free final, Doucle's most formidable opponent was Junior Cielo. At that time, Douc broke out strongly in the last ten meters and won the World Championships 50 free championship with a world record.
In the men's 50 free throw final at the Rio Olympics, the world record set three years ago accelerated significantly in the final stage, and it was the trajectory of Duke's swim three years ago.
Duke in the pool couldn't see the world record line, but he knew that in the 50 free throw final of the World Championships three years ago, he rushed very hard in the last ten meters, so he could only be more fierce than himself three years ago.
Duke ventilated on both sides, and when he found that his opponents in the left and right lanes had been thrown off a lot by himself, he concentrated all his firepower on the final 10 meters to break the 50 self world record that he had not broken in three years.
"The Great Demon King is the Great Demon King, don't talk about the opponent, he won't even let him go!" Yang 5 commentator Mr. Han made another witty remark, and he saw Du Ke on the screen of the live broadcast equipment pressing the world record line again. Duke slammed this green line, he must blow up his former self.
Duke in the pool got his wish, and he was the first to touch the wall with the world record line in his lower abdomen, which had actually pressed to the place where the man was majestic.
Duke won the opponent behind him by more than one position, one position advantage, which is a complete victory in the men's 50 free.
Once there, Douc turned to look at the large screen hanging on the wall at the other end of the pool.
On the big screen:
first, Doucle, 20.36 seconds (wr);
second, Erwin, 21.40 seconds;
third, Manado, 21.41 seconds;
fourth, Adrian, 21.49 seconds;
……
Duke won the 50 free championship with a time of 20.36 seconds, his 14th gold!
Duke beat runner-up Irwin by more than one second, runner-up Irwin was one hundredth of a second faster than third-place Manado, and Manado was 0.08 seconds faster than fourth-place Adrian.
Duke raised his right arm to celebrate his 14th gold medal, which included 12 gold medals in swimming, a gold medal in cycling and a gold medal in shooting.
"The Olympic gold medal is important, but I surpassed myself and I think it's more meaningful."
In his post-race interview, Duke said he had shaved his 50-self record by 0.51 seconds. The gap between second-place Erwin (21.40m) and eighth-place Fratus (21.79m) was only 0.39 seconds. (To be continued.) )
