Chapter 172 100 Frogs, Hanging the South African Frog King
Duke won the men's 200m freestyle and broke the world record with a time of 1:41.96.
He won his ninth gold medal at the World Championships and held six world records in the 50, 100, 200, 200, 200 mixed, 200 back, and 100 butterfly.
"Duke won his 9th gold medal at the World Championships and broke the world record again! He won nine gold medals on six competition days and broke seven world records in six events, including two in the men's 100m freestyle. Du Ke won an average of 1.5 gold medals a day, broke 1.2 world records, won gold medals, and broke records, which has become a normal mode for Du Ke! In the face of this normalization pattern, I thought I would be calm, but I found myself even more excited, because this is an unprecedented normalization pattern. Xiao Cai's commentary on CCTV 5 also seems to express the voices of many Chinese audiences.
When Du Ke returned to the preparation area for the Chinese team, he was greeted with an almost fanatical response.
Zhou Jianlin hugged Du Ke tightly, and said happily, sourly, and relieved: "Good job!" All reactionaries are paper tigers, you fight beautifully! ”
Ning Zetao, Xu Jiayu, Wang Shun, Hao Yun and other male team members suddenly worked together to lift Du Ke and threw Du Ke into the air, Du Ke was caught by them after he fell, and then continued to throw, throw, catch, throw, catch...... It took three rounds for them to get Doke back on the ground. In this way, the other team members show their respect and support for Duke.
At this time, the Chinese swimming team was unprecedentedly united. The unwarranted difficulties did not wear down the Chinese team's will to fight, Du Ke rose to the occasion to win another gold medal and break another record, and his heroic image of fighting the reactionaries to the end inspired the other team members, everyone had high morale and hatred for the enemy, and the team's fighting enthusiasm instantly exploded. That's the role of heroes, that's the influence of spiritual leaders. However, FINA's rules continued, and Du Ke was once again asked by the referee team to take a urine test.
It seems that Director Qin's negotiations with FINA did not have an immediate effect.
"His uncle's! Everything can be one or two, this is the third urine test! "Ning Zetao, who has a good temper, is going to go berserk.
"Don't get excited, it's okay, it's just that there is less time to sit down and rest, and it has no effect at all." Du Ke comforted Ning Zetao, as if it was Ning Zetao who was arrested for a urine test.
After drinking a bottle of drink, Duke followed the referee to the urine testing center.
He just broke the world record in the men's 200 free and won the 200 free championship, who called him so fierce, won a gold medal and broke the world record in a game, the referee asked him to go for a urine test, saying that it was not too far-fetched to do things according to the rules.
Not only Duke, but Missy Franklin of the U.S. women's team was also asked to take a urine test immediately after winning the women's 200 free title.
This seems to be fair, and the American champion also obeys the rules of the game, and the Chinese champion has no reason to violate the rules and procedures.
However, Franklin will be able to wait to claim his prize after the 200 finals, and Duke will have to compete in a 100 breaststroke final.
In fact, it seems that it is not unacceptable for other players to be asked to take a urine test immediately after winning the championship and breaking the world record, because the vast majority of players only attack one or two events, and those who sign up for more than five events are considered all-round experts. Most of the contestants compete in one final a day, such as Franklin, so in the women's 200 she was asked to take a urine test immediately after the final, which didn't matter to her, and she didn't have any competition tasks after her anyway.
And Duke is different from everyone, he has to swim an average of seven or eight games a day, and he has to swim several games in a night, at most five games, at least three, saying that this is an opportunity to take advantage of it, there is no way, so Du Ke does not argue too much, and the inspection is nothing more than less rest time.
There is also a 200 butterfly final between the 200 self and the 100 frog finals, Du Ke did not sign up for the 200 butterfly event, fortunately did not register for the 200 butterfly, and when Du Ke returned to the competition site from the urine testing center, the men's and women's 200 butterfly finals were over.
After learning the results of the men's and women's 200 butterfly finals, Duke was quite encouraged.
Liu Zige of the Chinese women's team overwhelmed Qunfang, and she won the women's 200 butterfly crown. Wu Peng and Chen Yin of the Chinese men's team won the second and third places in the men's 200 butterflies.
The gold, silver and bronze medals that the Chinese team just harvested are not easy to come by, and if they are not careful, they may not be harvested.
Chen Yin, who won the bronze medal in the men's 200 butterfly, said to Du Ke: "If I play at the usual level, I shouldn't be able to win this 200 butterfly bronze medal, but I just want to do something, so I took a second wind and grabbed a bronze medal to come back." Half of the credit for my bronze medal belongs to you, Du Ke, of course, you have brushed 9 gold and 1 silver, and it will not be rare for me to win the bronze medal. I also want to break the world record and help you share the pressure of urine output, but unfortunately I really can't do it! ”
"Haha, Brother Chen, good job, let's fight together in the final of tomorrow's medley relay race! Come on! Du Ke and Chen Yin hugged each other to celebrate, and his brave performance also inspired his teammates to perform at a high level, and strong team cohesion will make a team invincible on the field.
As for things outside the arena, it may need more energetic and influential organizations and teams to go to public relations, the Chinese Swimming Association, Chinese officials working in FINA, their right to speak in FINA is actually not high, there are historical factors in this, not overnight can change the dynasty, dare to call the sun and the moon to change the sky.
In that special period before the 80s, the Chinese team missed many international competitions, and the Chinese Swimming Association was even removed from the FINA, and after the 80s, the Chinese Swimming Association became a full member of FINA again. In fact, at that time, the Chinese Swimming Association voluntarily withdrew from FINA because FINA allowed a certain Chinese region to participate in international swimming competitions as a sovereign state. We don't settle old accounts, but some people just miss the old very much, and the international situation is complicated and difficult to explain.
The competition continues at the St. Hoddy Aquatics Center with the start of the final round tonight, the 100m breaststroke final.
In the women's 100 breaststroke final, Lithuanian woman Merutet won the championship. After that, the final race of the night, the men's 100m breaststroke final, is about to begin.
According to the results of the latest FINA survey, in the minds of ordinary viewers, the 17 individual events are the most concerned in order: 100 (19.2%), 50 (18.1%), 100 butterflies (11.3%), 200 mixed (11.1%), 200 mixed (9.8%), 400 mixed (7.3%), 200 butterflies (5.2%)...... The voting rules are that one audience member who is surveyed can only cast one vote.
The 100 frogs came in 10th place, 0.1% behind the 50 butterflies in 9th place, and the 1500m freestyle in 17th place with just 0.5% of the votes.
It can be seen that the short distance freestyle is the most popular event for spectators, while the longest distance of 1500m freestyle is the most neglected. It makes sense to think that for the average sports enthusiast, the sprint race looks like an enjoyable and exciting one, and the longer the race, the more intense the bayonet fight will gradually decrease.
Except for the 50 free, the other three 50m strokes are not Olympic events, so the 50m butterfly, frog and back are ranked behind seventh.
In the top-ranked swimming styles, we can see that freestyle, medley, and butterfly are the swimming styles (events) that are focused on, and the freestyle and butterfly are more ornamental, while the medley, in a sense, is more ornamental than this four-in-one event, and it is not popular to mix and match now.
According to the poll results, although the 100 frogs can only be ranked last in the TOP10, this men's 100 frog final has been hotly discussed by all parties.
South Africa's Van der Bergh in lane 4 and China's Du Ke in lane 5 were on the board before the 100 breaststroke final.
Cameron Vanderberg said in English: "Duke, we meet again. ”
Duke: "Yes, good evening. ”
Vanderberg had something to say: "Rochette is old, so you can beat him twice." And I'm still very young. ”
Duke quoted Van der Berg and improved it: "It's not about age, and you're 25 years old, Uncle Cameron." And I'm younger than you. ”
The muscles in Vanderberg's face twitched, and he said aggressively in Afrikaans: "I don't care how many gold medals you can win, at least in my field, 50 frogs and 100 frogs, you will get nothing." ”
Duke didn't understand the Afrikanese dialect, so he stopped talking to Van der Bergh and immediately looked ahead and was engrossed in preparing for the game.
The preparation order and the departure order sounded one after another, and the men's 100 frog final began!
The three stunts that can be used in the 100 frog race, the big water wheel, and the dolphin turn are all available, and Duke jumps with a thousand miles, he jumps farther than Vanderberg, and is in first place after entering the water.
Vanderberg entered the water and began to slide, and he made a very covert performance of Fan's stunt, stealing a few dolphin legs.
Relying on the extra thrust provided by the dolphin legs, Vanderberg came out of the water and went neck and neck with Duke, and the two tied for first place.
Duke lost once to Van der Bergh in the 50 final, and the 50 is the only event in which Duke has lost a gold medal so far at the World Championships.
Winning or losing is a common thing in soldiers, winning 9 gold and losing 1 gold, Du Ke is not unaffordable. It's just that Van der Bergh provoked before the 50 breaststroke final and said after the game that you can't kill me, which made Duke quite unhappy, so in this 100 frog final, Duke had a very strong desire to win: he had to fight back!
Duke, who endured Van der Bergh for three days, is determined to take revenge in this 100 breaststroke final, which is the last breaststroke final, and if he doesn't beat Van der Bergh, he won't have a chance in two years.
After gliding out of the water, Duke began to take the rhythm, bringing with him the strong pressing rhythm that he was familiar with and good at.
Even though Vanderbergh caught up with Duke in the underwater sliding phase with a "little trick" of illegal leg hits, he was suppressed by Duke in the first 50 meters of swimming.
As soon as Duke came out of the water, he turned on the big waterwheel and implemented a mandatory hanging tactic against Vanderbergh.
With a clear lead, Duke turned first, and after making the dolphin turn, Duke continued to lead.
Van der Berg was also in a hurry, the cruel words had been released, and the foul tricks were used, but he was forcibly beaten by Du Ke in the first 50 meters, and the situation was extremely passive.
The South African frog king can't accept this cruel reality!
Vanderbergh took the plunge and turned around and kicked the wall, and he again used the illegal method of stealing the dolphin's leg in excess of the limit of 1 time. He hit the dolphin leg several times in a row, and after two more hits, the breaststroke had to be swam into a freestyle by the frog king.
Jumping, turning, 50 meters away, Van der Bergh twice violated the leg, I have to say, this violation technique is still very effective. Of course it works, but if it doesn't, why would anyone risk committing a foul?
Relying on the sneak of the dolphin leg after turning, Vanderbergh narrowed some of the gap with Duke.
However, this is of little use.
In the final 30 meters of the sprint, Duke made ultra-high frequency rises, entered the water, rowed arms, kicked legs, pinched water, and risen...... The rhythm of the breaststroke loop, full speed towards the finish line!
Vanderbergh couldn't catch up with Doucle, he was blown up.
Duke was the first to touch the wall, he won the gold medal in the men's 100 frog, the 10th gold!
In the 100-meter breaststroke final, Duke, who was determined to fight back, played extremely well, and he suppressed the South African frog king from the starting point to the finish line, and hung the whole way.
Once on the side, Duke smiled at Vanderberg in the next lane: "Dear Cameron, it looks like we're even." ”
Vanderberg's face was ugly, but he didn't have a seizure either. How else can it happen? The foul was also committed, and he was still beaten by others, no matter how awesome it was, it would be unreasonable. So the South African frog king can only endure it, and sooner or later he will have to pay it back.
At this time, the results on the big screen were brushed out:
Lane 5, Duke Duke, China, 58.39 seconds.
Not only did Duke win his 10th gold, he also broke the original men's 100 breaststroke world record of 58.46 seconds!
He set a new 7th world record.
Duke turned to Vanderbergh and smiled, "Oh, Cameron, we were level just now, but now, I seem to be a little bit ahead. ”
Vanderberg's face became more and more ugly, not only did he lose the 100 breaststroke final, but he also broke the men's 100 breaststroke world record of 58.46 seconds, which he had held for four years, in front of him. At this moment, the South African frog king is broken inside...... (To be continued.) )
