Duke will compete in the second semi-finals of the men's 50m backstroke, followed by the women's 50m freestyle final, followed by the much-anticipated men's 50m freestyle final.

After the men's 50 back semi-finals, before Duke participated in the men's 50 freestyle final, there was only one women's 50 free final to transition, considering the time before the final to insert advertisements, introduce players, and celebrate the championship, his rest time was about 15-20 minutes, and no more than 30 minutes at most.

So Duke decided not to drive the big waterwheel, and swam through the 50 back semi-finals, and he had to save some stamina to deal with the all-important 50 free end tonight.

This men's 50 back semi-final is the fourth match that Duke has participated in in a row today, and he is in the game, resting for a while, playing again, resting for a while, and continuing to play...... In this kind of cycle, this 50 back semi-final is the most critical semi-final before the final, and whether it can smoothly transition to the next two finals depends on Du Ke's own performance.

The only good news is that the semi-finals of the first group of the men's 50 back have ended, and Duke estimates that if he can swim to under 24.45 seconds, the chances of advancing to the final are at least 80%.

In training, Duke can easily swim in 24.45 seconds without driving a large water wheel, of course, when there is no competition task and he is fully physical.

Now, all you have to do is to find the feeling and rhythm in training, the physical fitness is not so abundant, but as long as the rhythm is right, even if you add another 0.05 seconds, it is not a big problem to qualify for the finals.

Duke was already in the pool, where he finished second in the heats and was placed in lane 4.

The starting order sounded, and the second semi-finals of the men's 50 back began!

Duke kicked off the wall and began to swim with his arms at the end of the slide.

He didn't pay attention to the runners in the other lanes, and just swam at a pace he was familiar with.

Hold water, dispense water, push water......

Press, kick up, press down......

Du Ke has practiced this set of backstroke strokes and legs countless times, and he has been practicing this set of movements since he was a child, from the Youth Palace swimming pool to the Nangang University Natatorium, from the provincial team training hall to the national swimming training base, from Dubai to Barcelona.

Go with the feeling, that's right.

Duke slashed flat all the way, advancing at a mid-to-high pace, and in the end, he touched the wall third and finished third in the group with a time of 24.47 seconds.

With a semi-final time of 24.47 seconds, he finished sixth out of 16 semifinalists, and Duke qualified for the men's 50m backstroke final with a sixth-place finish in the semifinals.

Looking at the first four matches that Duke participated in today, except for the 100 since he won the first place in the semi-finals, his performance in the other three games was not amazing.

He doesn't deliberately fight for the first place in the group, nor does he play any heartbeat excitement, just pressed to the 16th and 8th places, and has a thrilling promotion.

Second in the 100 back preliminaries, third in the 50 butterfly semifinals, and sixth in the 50 back semifinals, Duke completed the transition with a not very hangy but absolutely stable and reassuring competitive state.

There were four transitions with only one purpose: to break out.

The schedule at the St. Hoddy Aquatics Centre is going as planned, with the first final tonight, the women's 50m freestyle final, about to begin.

When it comes to the finals, the pre-match arrangements are much richer.

After the eight runners enter the starting area, they will first gather in a passage, and the on-site host will report the name and nationality of the finalists from the first lane, and after reading the name of one of the runners, the contestant will appear, and then walk to the corresponding lane and prepare for the competition.

Similar to the NBA's appearance ceremony, this can enhance the atmosphere of the scene, and it has a bit of a taste of going to the battlefield.

The key is that there is more time to toss, and Duke thinks this arrangement is very good.

At this time, the women's 50m freestyle final began, and eight women jumped into the pool to start racing, and the competition was very fierce, and in the end, the Dutch woman Kolomwidejo won the gold medal in the women's 50 freestyle.

After the Dutch women's championship was crowned, she cried with excitement, and after crying for a while, she began to celebrate around the stadium wearing the Dutch flag.

This kind of championship celebration ceremony is a regular card, as long as you don't go too far, the referees won't interfere, anyway, you celebrate for a few minutes and then leave, we have to organize the next game.

At this time, Du Ke had already rested for more than 20 minutes, and after he and Ning Zetao stood on the starting platform together, the men's 50-meter freestyle final was about to start tonight's most watched competition.

The eight finalists are ranked in lane order:

Lane 1, Bamrosler (Germany);

Lane 2, Manado (France);

Lane 3, Adrian (USA);

Lane 4, Cielo (Brazil, current men's 50 free world record holder);

Lane 5, Du Ke (China, equaled Cielo's 50 self world record)

Lane 6, Erwin (USA);

Lane 7, Morozov (Russia);

Lane 8, Ning Zetao (China);

Eight players from six countries, including China, the United States, Pakistan, Russia, France and Germany, will fight for the championship and honor.

Among them, China and the United States both appeared in the final of the men's 50 free. For the United States, this is normal. For China, this is the first time.

The men's 50m freestyle is the shortest event of all the events in the long course swimming competition, and it can also be understood as the fastest event. The men's 50 free/100 free can be tied for the most watched swimming event.

The game started immediately, and without the referee's prompt, nearly 10,000 spectators at the scene consciously quieted down, and the decisive battle was about to start.

The preparatory order sounded, and the eight competitors got on the jumping platform.

"Fight." Duke is ready, and after waiting for a long time, he finally waited for today, and he must fight.

"Fight." Ning Zetao is also ready, God won't let me be eliminated, I have to fight.

"Pray for the Lord's blessing, fight." Cielo, a devout Catholic, did not forget to pray before the start of the final.

"God bless America, God bless Adrian." Adrian, a also devout Protestant, is praying for God's blessing, and it seems that God is very difficult to do, and there are too many people asking for him.

At this time, the starting order sounded, and the men's 50m freestyle final began!

Duke took a powerful jump into the water, and his reaction time was 0.70 seconds, which was medium to high.

Ning Zetao's jump reaction was faster, 0.69 seconds, Baozi finally stopped being unresponsive, and he was as sharp as a cheetah at the moment.

Adrian's prayer was answered by God, and his take-off reaction time was 0.68 seconds, which is quite sensitive!

God is fraternity, and with the fastest reaction time of the eight competitors at 0.67 seconds, Cielo seems to be in perfect form.

Ning Zetao, Adrian, and Cielo reacted quickly, but after the glide out of the water, it was Du Ke who took the lead.

After two rounds of Du Ke's arm rowing, he stimulated himself to the most hilarious state in the shortest time, and at the same time opened the big water wheel + 8 leg hits, rushing!

Duke slashed his arms and legs in an ultra-high frequency rhythm, and his terrifying propulsion speed drove those who loved him crazy and shocked those who panicked him.

"Doucle! Doucle! Come on, Duke! Just after the halfway point, Duke has already touched the world record line! Xiao Cai, the commentator of CCTV 5, is the group of people who love Duke, and he has already stood up and stared at the screen of the video equipment in front of him.

On the screen, Duke has already touched the green world record line with his fingers, and it is only halfway through, and Duke has a great hope of breaking the 50 self world record in the men's 50m freestyle final!

At 35 meters, the world record line suddenly began to accelerate, and it threw off half of Duke's forearm, and the tsundere led the way.

"Come on, Duke! Come on, Duke! Xiao Cai's narration evolved into a repetitive and simple rant, and he seemed to be unable to find any other words to interpret this exciting moment other than shouting Duke's name and cheering.

"It's just a little bit closer." Duke had an instinctive instinct, he had practiced the 50-meter freestyle sprint so many times that he could feel that there were still 15 meters left, a little bit close, a little bit to break the world record.

Can't be any worse!

I want to win, I want to win beautifully!

Duke held his breath and no longer breathed, and in the last 15 meters, he fought!

Duke held his breath and rushed to the finish line in the most extreme and violent oxygen-free way, challenging the limit!

With 10 metres remaining, Ducco's position in first place was firmly established, and Cielo, who was second, could barely overtake him.

The men's 50m freestyle championship at the World Championships is just around the corner!

Chinese player, men's 50 free champion at the World Swimming Championships!

In the past, no Chinese dared to dream of this beautiful dream. But now, Duke is about to make that dream come true.

Not only to win the title, Duke also wanted more.

With 5 meters left, a breathless Duke crossed the arm and his fingers touched the world record line again.

The last 5 meters, two or three seconds, this is a historic moment, this is two or three seconds that make people's blood flutter.

Doucle crossed the world record line in the last 5 meters, and he was the first to touch the wall to win the men's 50m freestyle and break the world record, and he finally conquered the tsundere world record line.

In 20.87 seconds, Duke set a new world record in the men's 50-meter freestyle!

He broke the world record and won his second gold medal at the World Championships. (To be continued.) )
