Chapter 444: New Era, New Wonderful
Du Ke and Ning Zetao won the championship and runner-up in the men's 100-meter freestyle at the World Championships in Kazan, which is a historic moment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The historical significance is roughly similar to that of two Asian yellow athletes who swept the top two men's 100m runs at the World Athletics Championships.
"Duke still dominates his famous event, the 100m freestyle, and his strongest partner, Ning Zetao, played well and won the silver medal!"
"Two Chinese athletes won the gold and silver medals in the men's 100 free at the World Championships, congratulations to Du Ke and Ning Zetao, congratulations to the Chinese swimming team!"
"It was difficult for Asian men to even enter the 100 free final, but now two Asian men have won the 100 free championship and second place, which is a victory for all of Asia!"
All of a sudden, all kinds of news about the big and happy run spread out from various Asian media platforms.
"Hey......" Some Western media collectively mourned, but it was just that Du Ke couldn't be done, and even Ning Zetao couldn't suppress the white players, which was a little inexplicably sad.
Halfway through the swimming competition at the World Championships in Kazan, Chinese men's athletes monopolized all the gold medals in the men's individual events that had been produced, of which Sun Yang won the 800 gold medals, and the rest of the individual gold medals were taken away by Du Ke.
France won the gold medal in the men's 4*100m freestyle relay, Great Britain won the gold medal in the men's 4*200m freestyle relay, and the traditional powerhouses of the United States and Australia were saddened to win a gold medal in the men's side, which is almost the same situation as the last World Championships in Barcelona.
An independent writer from the swimming industry posted his latest comment on his neck: "Two years ago, Duke went to Barcelona as a rookie, and he was crowned the new king of swimming in Barcelona. Kazan, this is Duke's second journey to the World Swimming Championships, if the Barcelona battle is Duke's turf battle, then the Kazan defense is a great cause for Duke. It is easy to fight the country and it is difficult to defend the country, in fact, it is not easy to do the job of guarding the country, I hope that Du Ke can keep the good rivers and mountains that he has built by himself in recent years. ”
After the 100 finals, Duke Duke continued his legacy, which is underway in the men's 200m medley final.
There is a certain possibility of upsets in the 50 and 100 events, and in the 200 and 400 mixed events, the probability of an upset must be divided by two and then divided by two, so Phelps and Rochte have teamed up to monopolize the medley event for ten years.
Now the monopoly of the medley has been replaced by Duke, and his opponents Rochette and Kosuke Hagino are among the best medleyswimmers today, but in the first round of the butterfly, Rochette and Kosuke Hagino fell behind.
After turning around, he entered the backstroke stage, and Duke, who was in lane 4, inspected the situation of each lane and found that Kosuke Hagino had Rochette, and his teammate Wang Shun had Kosuke Hagino again.
Rochette took Duke as the target to catch up, Kosuke Hagino took Rochette as the target to catch up, Wang Shun secretly decided, we don't care about others, anyway, I must win Kosuke Hagino. The echelons in the pool are hierarchical, and everyone has their own goals.
Du Ke is in the 4th lane, Wang Shun is in the 2nd lane, Kazan is a 200 mixed final, Du Ke and Wang Shun are not adjacent to each other, Du Ke can't help Wang Shun, to complete the small goal, you have to rely on Wang Shun to work hard.
As the game entered the breaststroke phase, Douco opened up further distance from his rival behind him, and he was two positions ahead of second-placed Lochette. Breaststroke is not Rochette and Kosuke Hagino's strong point, while Wang Shun's breaststroke is not bad.
Wang Shun kicked a few legs to catch up with Kosuke Hagino, who achieved his small goal in the breaststroke and exploded Kosuke Hagino, and the next freestyle had to hold on to the victory.
Entering the final round of freestyle, Duke was nearly three positions ahead of second-place Rochette, and Wang Shun grabbed third, but one position behind Rochette.
Lochette is still one of the best medleys in the world, he is 31 years old this year, but he has left Wang Shun and Kosuke Hagino, who are ten years younger than him, dead behind.
If it weren't for the bugs in the first three positions, Lochette could have won his third World Championships 200 mixed gold medal.
In Barcelona 2003, Montreal in 2005 and Melbourne in 2007, Phelps dominated the men's 200 mixed event at three World Championships.
In Rome 2009 and Shanghai 2011, Lochette began to sit in the men's 200 mixed at the two World Championships.
Phelps + Rochte have dominated the men's 200 mixed singles event at five World Swimming Championships, starting at the 2003 World Championships in Barcelona and ending at the 2013 World Championships in Barcelona. History is always wonderful and coincidental, she likes to round up, and she loves to revisit the old place in a naughty way.
Barcelona has hosted two World Swimming Championships in 10 years, and the legend of swimming has been created in the city. The American swimming legend came to an end in Barcelona, and the Chinese swimming legend wrote a new chapter in Barcelona.
From 2013 in Barcelona, the men's medley entered the reign of Ducco.
Duke dominated Kazan from Barcelona, and with the last five meters left in the Kazan pool, Douc was already three positions ahead of the old-timer Lochette.
Duke touched the wall first and won the 200 mixed championship, and after the side, he watched Rochette row a few arms before Rochette touched the wall and finished second.
After another second, Wang Shun came to the side, and he beat Japan's number one star Kosuke Hagino and won the third place. Wang Shun snatched a precious bronze medal in the medley at the World Championships and achieved the goal he had set for himself.
"The three Chinese men's players performed very well tonight!" Mr. Han explained, "Du Ke won the gold medals in the 100-meter freestyle and 200-meter medley, and Ning Zetao and Wang Shun overcame many strong opponents in the 100-meter freestyle and 200-meter mixed events, winning silver and bronze medals respectively!" The number of athletes in the Chinese swimming team who have entered the finals and won medals has increased, which is a major breakthrough! ”
Ning Zetao and Wang Shun's performance tonight was indeed very good, and they also proved to the world that the Chinese swimming team is not all weak chickens except for Du Ke.
Duke won the 200 mixed championship with a time of 1:52.79, and Lochette won the championship with a time of 1:55.81, and he lost to Duke by 3.52.81 seconds, which is quite a loss.
Rochette looked at Duke in the swimming lane next door, shook his head helplessly, and smiled: "Du, it's good that I didn't sign up for the 400-meter medley, with my current physical reserves, the 400 mixed will lose more to you." You're almost breaking your own 200 mixed world record, did you do it on purpose? After speaking, he shook hands with Duke and congratulated.
Duke and Rochette shook hands and smiled without saying a word.
The footage of Duke and Rochette shaking hands in the pool was widely circulated hours later.
The text accompanying the picture was much the same in the media: "The men's 200 mixed has ushered in a new era after three consecutive American championships by Phelps and two by Lochte, and the 22-year-old is at the peak of his career." As it turned out, Doucle's dominance in the pool was unshakable, and it was hard for the other competitors to even get close to him! (To be continued.) )
