The men's 200m backstroke heats group 4 competition is about to begin.

Canal+ continued to broadcast the Group 4 race, and their camera swept from lane 1 to lane 1, which means that the time it took for runners to appear on the TV screen from lane 1 to lane 3 was about one person per second on average.

The camera pans to lane 4 and finally stops moving, and the Canal+ director gives a close-up of the runner in lane 4.

The white swimmer wears a dark blue swim cap with a star-striped banner on one end of the cap with the words "USA" on the side. On the other end of the cap is the runner's name, "Clary".

Villefort began to explain: "Lane 4 is the American Tyler Clary, an American who excels in the 200 and 200 butterflies, and he won the men's 200 back at the London Olympics, and he played extremely well in that final, beating compatriot Lochette to win a very gold medal. ”

"However, I'm still more optimistic about Rochette as the No. 1 seed, Clary as the No. 2 seed, and Japan's Irie is the No. 3 seed, and I can predict with certainty that the three medals in the men's 200 will be divided between the three players. You must think so, David. ”

Reno said, "I think the swimmer in lane 8 also has some quality, so let's take a look at his performance in the preliminaries, and maybe he can create an upset." ”

Lane 8 runners only appeared for a second on Canal+'s live TV footage, and Villefort, who was sitting in the media area, turned his head to look at lane 8 runners in the starting area.

THE PLAYER'S FIGURE IS ABOUT 184 OR 185 CM, WHICH IS ABOUT THE SAME HEIGHT AS CLARRY, AND HIS MUSCLES ARE NOT AS RIGID AS THOSE OF EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN PLAYERS, BUT THEY ARE MORE SYMMETRICAL AND STREAMLINED. He has an East Asian face and wears a white swimming cap with a five-star red flag printed on one end and the word "CHINA" printed underneath the five-star red flag. On the other end of the cap is the Asian runner's last name, "DU".

"Lane 8? Chinese players? Villefort gave an exaggerated expression, "David, I don't think your humor will make me smile." ”

Reno didn't seem to be joking: "Lane 8, China, Du. Dear Sebastian, I suggest you check out the FINA official website for the Chinese player Du, who is the current world record holder in the men's 200 mixed. In April of this year, he broke the previous world record held by Rochette. So I have reason to believe that the Chinese athlete has the quality to cause an upset, and he has a chance to challenge for a medal. ”

"But this world record was set by him in China's domestic competitions, and it is questionable." Villefort immediately retorted.

Reno glanced at Villefort and said to himself, "So you know?"

Westerners have always advocated freedom of speech, and Western commentators will also play this style of free speech in sports commentary.

Villefort is a regular employee of the Canal+ group, but Reno is not.

Reno, a retired swimmer, is a freelancer, without a fixed organizational unit, proficient in French, English, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Slavic and other Chinese Reno, perennial travel in European countries, where there is work, he goes to pick up work, as a sports commentator, life is also leisurely.

So Villefort and Reno have different positions, Villefort represents the European media giants behind him, and Reno speaks for himself.

Reno insisted on his point of view, looking at his laptop and saying: "The Chinese Swimming Championships, a large-scale swimming competition in China, is a regular event recognized by FINA, so the world record set by Du in this event certainly counts, otherwise FINA would not have put his men's 200 mixed world record of 1:53.88 on its official website." ”

"Chinese have always been not strict about urine testing, and this 1:53.88 is very doubtful." "Some Chinese officials, knowing that some athletes have taken doping, deliberately press not to report to international sports organizations, or to report a revised urine test data. International organizations send supervisors to China for spot checks, and the Chinese play the bag, and they are the best at doing this kind of thing. Chinese officials have the ulterior secrets of the athletes, and they can control the athletes, understand, dear David. ”

"Really?" Reno was a little undetermined by the professional commentator Villefort, "How do you know so much about China's national conditions?" Or is it a conspiracy theory made out of nothing? ”

Villefort had an expression that I knew everything as an old driver: "It's no secret, this World Championships, FINA subcontracted the urine test business to our French Besler pharmaceutical company, and the urine test was supervised by FINA supervisors throughout the whole process, so no one can make a fool of it, once an athlete takes illegal drugs, the urine can be detected within 4 hours after being drawn at the earliest." ”

"So, let's see if Mr. World Record, who has left China, can create an upset?" "I expect that the chances of the Chinese players advancing to the semi-finals will be 9.38 percent. I don't know what law he deduced from this 9.38%.

The live commentary of Villefort and Reno will be broadcast live to the whole of France and to the countries and regions around the world where French is spoken and Canal+ is opened, via the Canal+ international communications satellite. (There are many countries where French is the official language, many countries in Africa speak French, and French is also spoken in Canada, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Monaco and other European and American countries)

Fortunately, Director Qin doesn't know French, and he doesn't look at Canal+, otherwise Boss Qin's lungs will explode again: You Western imperialist mouthpieces are really nonsense, our urine test procedure is operated according to international standard procedures, and during the championship, Duke has to take urine tests several times a day under our supervision, what a fart!

At this time, the start order sounded, and the men's 200-meter backstroke group 4 preliminaries began!

The eight players had already gone down the pool, and they kicked off on the wall after listening to the order, and began to push forward with their arms and legs.

This is the first World Championships that Du Ke has participated in, and Du Brush, who has always boasted of his good psychological quality, was a little nervous after entering the swimming stage after the wall skating.

In lane 8, Douc was mediocre in the first 50 meters, and he was in sixth place, with the top three competitors being American Clary, Frenchman Gyllenka and Danish Gramsson.

This is the World Championships, the top swimming competition in the world, and no athlete who can come to Barcelona is a waste. This is not like a domestic backstroke competition, even if Du Ke plays averagely, other men's backstrokers with weak overall strength may not be able to suppress Du Brush.

But now it's different, Duke, who is a little slow to enter the state, was suppressed to sixth by 5 players at the beginning.

Duke glanced at the flag above, and there were still 5 meters to the side, and after quickly turning his head to the side and back to make a visual confirmation of the near wall, he began to make a sideways roll and turn and began to turn for the first time.

It's coming, it's coming!

Dolphin turns*1 is coming!

Doucle made his first dolphin turn and made a powerful wall slide to instantly overtake a Belgian rider and move up to fifth.

Before coming to Spain, he spent 60 bonus points to increase the number of Dolphin Turns available in an hour to 4.

A 200-meter long-pool swimming race requires 3 turns, so the enhanced version of the dolphin turn is very cost-effective in the 200-meter race, and can cover a 200-meter race all the way.

After using the first dolphin turn, Doucle's nervousness dissipated, and he felt like a game!

That's what you want.

Duke paddled his arm hard, overtook another Englishman in the second 50m, and before turning around for the second time, he rushed to fourth.

Come on, come on, keep coming!

Duke made a dolphin turn*2 and just after gliding into the swimming phase, he overtook the Danes in lane 6 to move to third place.

Two turns, 70 meters away, Du Ke surpassed three European players in a row, very enjoyable!

In the backstroke, backstrokers can't see ahead, and they can't constantly turn their heads to look at other lanes, which can affect their pace. But at the moment of turning, an experienced backstroker will observe the opponent's situation.

Douce was in lane 8, and after turning around for the second time, he observed the situation in the other lanes, and although the vision of lane 8 was limited, Douc felt that he should have exploded two or three chrysanthemums, and was currently in the third or fourth position.

In the domestic competition, it is difficult for Du Ke, who is good at opening suppression, to explode other people's chrysanthemums, and they are all chrysanthemums that other players want to explode with a sigh of relief.

Now, in half a minute, Du Ke exploded Sanju in a row, hahaha, it turned out to explode. Ju is really happy!

Then keep exploding!

The rise of Du Ke's killing, the joy of the ghost blaster, the second turn into the middle and rear distance, just after 125 meters, Du Ke used the big water wheel, rush! Boom! Boom boom!

Against the acceleration effect of the big waterwheel stunt, Duke exploded another chrysanthemum before the last turn, and he exploded the chrysanthemum of France's Guilenca to grab the second.

This chrysanthemum explosion was too ecstatic, Du Ke exploded strongly, and exploded four chrysanthemums in a row, which stunned the French commentator Villefort, who hadn't said a word for half a minute.

Coming to the edge soon, there is still one last turn left, and there is still the last chrysanthemum, and it is also the most vivid and attractive big chrysanthemum - the American Clary.

It's coming, it's coming, the dolphin is turning around and it's coming again!

After Duke turned around with a dolphin twist*3 and kicked the wall strongly, he overtook Clary and completed the feat of forcibly exploding the five chrysanthemums within 100 meters!

The five players who were blown up by Duke five times in a row were Belgian Van der Milden, Briton McNally, Danish Gramson, Frenchman Gyllenka, and American Clary.

None of the five European and American athletes are fish belly, and Clary is still an Olympic champion in the 200 back.

"Good! Refreshing! Cattle! Xu Jiayu in the preparation area of the Chinese team was enthusiastic, and Du Ke exploded with a bang, which stimulated Xu Jiayu's bloody nature. Xiao Xu instantly had a desire to go into battle and kill the enemy. Hopefully, the tension and apprehension just now were swept away.

After overtaking Olympic champion Clary, Doucle held the lead until the finish with a powerful flat slash, and he touched the wall with a nearly one-position lead over Clary to top the group.

With a time of 1:51.99 in the 200 back, Duke broke the Asian record of 1:52.51 held by Ryosuke Irie, and was quite close to the 200 backs world record of 1:51.92 held by another American, Persol.

Duke's 1:51.99 was several seconds faster than the preliminaries of the three seeded players, Rochette, Clary, and Ryosuke Irie. The 1:51.99 is the fastest men's 200 back time since July 2010.

In his debut at the World Championships, Du Ke brushed the momentum of Du Brush with a stunning performance of bursting five chrysanthemums in a row, breaking the Asian record, and creating the fastest 200 back results in three years.

A good start is half the battle, and that might be a good sign.
