Chapter 133: Is This Still a Preliminaries?
The men's 50m butterfly preliminaries group 4 competition is about to begin.
Eight players lined up in a row to prepare for the race.
European and American TV stations did not broadcast the preliminaries of this group live, but China Central Channel 5 is broadcasting live, because this group of preliminaries has the participation of Chinese player Du Ke.
Xiao Cai, the commentator of CCTV 5, also came to the scene of the World Championships in Barcelona, and he was commenting on the scene: "China's player Du Ke is located in lane 3, and the 2013 World Swimming Championships men's 50m butterfly preliminaries group 4 competition is about to start. Duke is the Asian record holder in the men's 50 butterfly, and he has the strength to challenge for medals and even achieve even more breakthrough results, so let's wait and see! β
Some European and American media are not optimistic about Chinese players, but CCTV 5 must be optimistic about Chinese players. Xiao Cai was in the live media broadcast area of the World Championships, and he also knew that some right-wing foreign media were hacking Chinese players, as a Chinese, which made him quite unhappy.
Alone in a bunch of Western commentators and commentators, Xiao Cai especially expects Du Ke, Sun Yang, Ye Shiwen, and all the male and female players of the Chinese team to achieve good results and give the Chinese a breath of relief.
Xiao Cai tried his best to restrain his emotions and make his commentary as objective as possible, but after the start of the men's 50 butterfly preliminaries group 4 match, he couldn't restrain himself a little, although this was only a preliminaries.
"Douc is off! Once in the water, the situation was uncertain, and the four riders in lanes 3 to 6 rushed to the front by a narrow margin. β
"Doucle! Doucle! He's starting to speed up! β
"There are still 25 meters left, and now in the first and second places are Tsukin and Duke."
"The frequency of Duke's rise is getting higher and higher, sprint! Sprint! Come on Duke! β
"Duke overtook Belarus's Tsukin and is 5 meters away!"
"At the end, Duke finished first in the group with a time of 23.05 seconds, breaking his own Asian record of 50 butterflies!"
Xiao Cai couldn't hide his excitement: "Du Ke's state is very brave, he participated in three rounds of preliminaries in a row today, namely 200 back, 50 frogs, 50 butterflies, and his three preliminaries all broke the Asian record!" Duke has already advanced to the semi-finals of the 200 backs and 50 breasts, and his 50 butterfly preliminaries of 23.05 seconds are temporarily ranked third, and advancing to the men's 50 butterfly semifinals is basically a certainty. β
"Today's game, there are two rounds left, the 100 self-qualifiers and the 200 back semi-finals. Let's take a break and bring you the 100m freestyle preliminaries later, where Chinese women's star Tang Yi will compete in the women's 100 freestyle, and in the men's 100 freestyle, Du Ke and Lu Zhiwu will join forces to attack, which is worth looking forward to! β
It is now half past 16 in the afternoon of Madrid summer time in Spain on July 28, there is a time difference of 6 hours between Spanish daylight saving time and the time in the capital of China, and it is half past 22 in the evening in the distant eastern motherland.
Many viewers across China are watching the live broadcast of the World Championships, Du Ke's family, the coaches and teammates of the provincial team, the classmates and teachers of Nangang University, and thousands of Du Shuzi fans are all in front of the TV, they hope that Du Shuzi can brush up on China's majesty in Europe.
In the 4th group match of the 50 butterfly preliminaries, Du Ke drove the only stunt water truck that could be used after entering the water, won the first place in the group, and broke the Asian record for the third time in three hours, gaining 15 record-breaking bonus points and 38 balance bonus points.
It seems that he had made a smart move by reducing the CD of the big water truck to once every 30 minutes.
Reduced to 15 minutes to open once, it takes 60 bonus points, and you don't need to spend these 60 points for the time being, and you can drive a big water truck once every 30 minutes, which is basically enough.
So Duke took out 30 points and upgraded the jump stunt again, reducing the CD time of the jump to once every 30 minutes.
The men's 50m butterfly heats consisted of seven groups, followed by the preliminaries of groups 5, 6 and 7.
In the end, Du Ke advanced to the semifinals with the third place in the preliminaries, and teammate Chen Yin advanced with Du Ke with the 15th place in the preliminaries.
Since then, the first day of the World Championships has ended four rounds of preliminaries, 400 free, 200 back, 50 frog, and 50 butterfly.
The Chinese men's and women's swimming teams each sent 8 full players to participate in the four rounds of preliminaries, and the promotion rate of the women's team was 3/8, and the men's team was 7/8.
So far, on the men's side, the best results in the preliminary round are France, Australia, Russia, the United States, China, Japan, South Africa, and Brazil.
The three teams of France, Australia and Russia all sent a full 8 players to participate in the 4 rounds of preliminaries, with a promotion rate of 8/8, and all their players advanced to the semifinals or 400 self-finals.
The United States team, China, Japan, South Africa, and Brazil are tied for fourth, and the promotion rate is 7/8.
If it weren't for Cordes' disqualification in the 50 breaststroke heats, they would have been 8/8. Cordes doesn't go to grab that 0.00 seconds, as long as he plays normally, there is no big problem in reaching the semifinals or even the final, the American just loves to find trouble.
The schedule is very tight, and after the 50 butterfly preliminaries, the 100 preliminaries will start non-stop.
The first was the women's 100 self-preliminaries, and the Chinese women's team sent a combination of old and new to attack the women's 100-meter freestyle event.
Tang Yi is a bronze medallist in the women's 100 free at the London Olympics, and she has what it takes to compete for a World Championships medal in this event. She took the teenager Shen Ze and started the journey of the women's 100 self at the World Championships.
Tang Yi played normally, and she advanced to the women's 100 free semifinals with a fourth place in the preliminaries. Shen Ze did not disappoint the coaches either, as the 16-year-old, who was competing in the World Championships for the first time, advanced to the semifinals with a 12th place in the preliminaries.
At 6 p.m. Madrid time, the men's 100 self-qualification round is about to begin.
The men's 100 self-qualification round has nine groups, which is the largest number of registrations, and 72 national masters will compete for 16 semi-final places, eight final places, and three medals.
Take a look at the grouping for the men's 100m freestyle heats:
Group 1: Adrian, a Chinese-American star and the main player of the American men's team, three Olympic gold medalists and three world championship gold medalists, he is the champion of the men's 100 free event at the London Olympics, and he is currently gaining momentum.
Group 3: Morozov, Russian, known as the "Russian torpedo", after the retirement of Popov, the king of Russian sprint freestyle, Morozov carried the banner of the Russian men's sprint freestyle event.
Group 4: Robintsev, another Russian torpedo, he and Morozov formed a double torpedo lineup, and the lethality was terrifying.
Group 5: Fagan, American, he is not as famous as Adrian, but his strength is definitely not to be underestimated. It is said that Adrian never won Fagan in the internal test of the American team. Adrian can win the Olympic championship and the world championship because he is a competitive player, I wonder if this rumor is true?
Group 6: James Magnussen, Australia's new swimming icon, 2011 World Championships men's 100m freestyle champion and London 2012 men's 100m freestyle silver medallist, in that Olympic final, he narrowly lost to American Adrian by one hundredth of a second.
Group 7: Cielo, Brazilian, current men's 50/100 world record holder. He set a world record of 46.91 seconds in the men's 100m freestyle during the sharkskin era, a record that no one has ever broken, not even in 47 seconds, including Cielo himself. After setting the world record in '09, Ciero's form began to decline, but he has recently made a strong comeback and vowed to defend his sprint freestyle honour with his return as king. (Lu Zhiwu is also in the 7th group)
Group 8: Du Ke, Chinese star and current men's 100 free Asian record holder...... Also in the group is Poland's KoΕΎiΔyak.
It can be said that in the men's 100m freestyle event, the current world's top players have come to Barcelona.
At 18 o'clock in the evening, more and more spectators entered the venue, and major sports TV stations were also broadcasting the men's 100 self-preliminaries, from group 1 to group 9, which shows the importance of this project.
ESPN, USA: "Nathan Adrian plays in Group 1 of the preliminary round, and the game is on! Adrian took the lead from the moment he entered the water and yes, Adrian will not let us down, he won the group without any suspense! The result is 47.66 seconds, a very strong preliminary, it seems that Adrian is in very good shape, there is no doubt that he will bring this 100 self gold medal back to the United States, may God bless Adrian, God bless the United States! β
Russian state television: "Morozov began to accelerate, torpedoes fired, launched, launched!" Rumble! Sink enemy ships perfectly! Morozov won the first place in Group 2 with a time of 47.62 seconds, and he was stronger than the American parallel Olympic champion! A new generation of Popov was born, and Morozov will definitely defend the dignity of the Russian Federation! β
FOX-SPORTS AUSTRALIA: "JAMES, JAMES, JAMES-MAGNUSSEN!" He finished first in Group 6 with a time of 47.50 seconds, oh my! What an amazing result in the preliminaries! Australian king James Magnussen will dominate the men's sprint freestyle for the next 10 years! β
Magnussen's 47.50 seconds heats were really impressive, and he finished second in the men's 100 free final at last year's London Olympics with a time of 47.53 seconds, losing to Adrian by just 0.01 seconds.
47.50 seconds, faster than the 100 Asian record of 47.55 seconds held by Doucault.
In fact, Doucle's Asian record of 47.55 seconds is very fast, and Adrian's Olympic gold medal championship time is only 47.52 seconds.
The men's 100 self-qualifiers went to Group 6, and one group brushed the results more so fiercely than the other that Canal+'s commentator Villefort had a delusion, and he said to Reno: "David, is this still a preliminaries?" That's higher than last year's London Olympics men's 100 freestyle final! (To be continued.) )
