Chapter 528 Accomplishes the feat in 24 hours
On the second day of competition in Rio, Duke's task was swimming. The track and field competition www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion has not yet begun, and the cycling and shooting events he participates in will start one after another from the day after tomorrow.
At 13 o'clock, the swimming preliminaries began.
In the preliminaries of the men's 200 self and 100 back, Du Ke easily advanced.
And in the men's 4*100m freestyle relay preliminaries, Du Ke was taken aback.
Ning Zetao swam a time of 48.89 seconds on the first stick, and Yu Hexin and Lin Yongqing on the second and third sticks swam 49 seconds away.
Duke, who guarded the last baton, was the last to last when he took over.
In addition to not driving the rage, Du Ke made a big move in the last stroke, and slashed and convulsed, swimming a total of 3:14.16 in a very thrilling way, and the Chinese men's relay team advanced to the final with the eighth place in the preliminaries, only 0.01 seconds faster than the ninth-place Belgian team.
Du Ke dragged three and almost single-handedly brought the Chinese team to the finals.
Du Ke, Ning Zetao, Yu Hexin, and Lin Yongqing, these four are the original team members of the Kazan World Championships, and they won the second place in the men's 4*100m self at the Kazan World Championships.
The runner-up team of the World Championships arrived at the Olympic Games and almost couldn't even enter the finals, what is the problem?
The main problem lies with Ning Zetao.
"Rely on me." After the game, Ning Zetao said reproachfully.
At last year's World Championships in Kazan, Ning Zetao reached the peak of his competitive form, and it was common for him to swim in 100 seconds within 48 seconds. A year later, in Rio, Ning Zetao struggled to swim within 48 seconds and almost fell outside 49 seconds.
In August last year, Du Ke and Ning Zetao teamed up to win a silver medal in the World Championships.
In August this year, Duke dragged three times, and the situation was very difficult.
Du Ke knew a little about it, in the past six months, because of some private matters, Ning Zetao was a little absent-minded in the pool, and even began to doubt his strength. Confidence and focus, both qualities that athletes need in any event to be able to achieve good results.
If you are not confident and focused, then it is a bit of a problem.
"Baozi, don't think too much, let's give it a go in the 100 free-to-finish finals." Du Ke could only comfort Ning Zetao like this.
A few hours later, at 9 p.m., Doucle returned to the Olympic Aquatics Center, where he warmed up in the warm-up pool for the night races that would begin later.
All swimmers participating in the night race warm up in the warm-up pool, which of course cannot be done in one person.
Everyone sees the stitches, where there is a vacant space to swim to, open the body activity, and find the water in advance.
Duke was pillow on a floating cushion, snapping, and swam in without rowing his arms. The arm stroke is too big, and if you accidentally bump into the people around you.
"Hey, I'm in the same group as Sister Huo, so I don't have confidence." Fu Yuanhui and Du Ke did a similar pillow cushion leg warm-up action, and kept parallel to Du Ke and slowly swam forward.
Du Ke turned his head and said, "She swims hers, you swim yours, what does she do so much?" Fu Yuanhui will later participate in the semi-finals of the women's 100 back, and will be in the same group as Hungary's Huo Sizu.
Fu Yuanhui: "Look at Sister Huo's 400 mixed results yesterday, it's just crushing everything." Huo Sizu is the female version of Du Brush, her various swimming styles are very comprehensive, and she is under a lot of pressure in a group. People swim for 59 seconds casually, and I've never swam 59 seconds in the 100 backs, so if I only swim 50 meters, there might be hope. "She's a little worried, worried that she won't make it to the 100 final.
Du Ke: "There is less than an hour to go, and it is estimated that it will be too late to pour chicken soup for you now, and it will take time for you to digest and absorb it before it can be transformed into direct combat effectiveness." ”
Fu Yuanhui: "Are you so inspiring to your teammates?" Dashen Du, I need your strength, lend me some strength. ”
Du Ke changed his leg to kick his leg, patted Fu Yuanhui's head with his hand, and said, "Okay, I have given you the top and entered the power of the wilderness for you, come on Master Fu." ”
"What? The power of the wilderness? That's fake, fiction in the novel. "Fu Yuanhui is not so easy to coax, and he is not Liu Xiang.
At this time, there was another female athlete next to Du Ke, it was none other than Huo Sizu, who was also warming up.
"Hey, Duke, see you again." Huo Sizu also swam in with a floating cushion on his legs, speaking English and greeting Duke as he went.
Duke nodded, "Hello, Katinka." Huo Sizu's full name is Katinka-Huo Sizu, Du Ke calls her Katinka, and the two know each other very well.
"Wow!" Fu Yuanhui suddenly shouted, "Sister Huo is surprised!" ”
Huo Sizu looked at Fu Yuanhui and smiled: "Hi, hello." She is not familiar with Fu Yuanhui and doesn't know what to call Fu Yuanhui.
Du Ke said to Huo Sizu: "She is my teammate, Fu, the backstroker. In the women's 100 back semi-finals later, Katinka, please be merciful. ”
Huo Sizu asked, "Oh, so, are you a couple?" Informal couples? ”
"Poof! Ahem! Fu Yuanhui can also understand English, and choked on a startle.
Fu Yuanhui said to Du Ke: "I can listen to English but I can't speak it very well, you tell Sister Huo that we are good friends, not an abnormal or informal couple." We are pure friends, not ****. ”
Du Ke smiled: "Europeans are very open to men and women, she is just joking, what are you nervous about?" Look at you like this, you haven't had a boyfriend yet, have you? ”
"If you have time to have a boyfriend, you might as well buy a new phone." Fu Yuanhui was a little anxious, so he sped up the frequency of his legs, swam to the shore at once, and went ashore.
"Very cute little girl." Huo Sizu said to Du Ke, commenting on Fu Yuanhui.
……
At 10 p.m., the men's 100m breaststroke final is about to begin, and this individual award will produce the first swimming gold medal of the night.
The eight finalists lined up and waited for the ready signal.
The entire Brazilian audience stood up and shouted, "Juan! Juan! ”
The noise was so loud that the referee had to repeatedly broadcast a reminder to the Brazilian crowd to be quiet and blow the whistle immediately.
Juan Gomez, the Brazilian breaststroker who is not a big swimmer, played at home, and he won the craziest support from the crowd, even surpassing Duke's popularity.
"The Brazilian crowd was very enthusiastic and they did their best to cheer every time a Brazilian player came out. But the protagonists of this 100 Frog Final should be Duke and Adam Peaty. The on-site commentary seat, Zhou Feifei explained.
Mr. Han is holding an A4 piece of paper in his hand, and the relevant data are all on this paper, "In fact, we can't ignore the defending champion Van der Bergh, everything is unpredictable in the Olympic final. Of course, we are looking forward to Du Ke making history, Du Ke, who has two gold medals in hand, if he wins one more Olympic gold medal in swimming, he will become the first Chinese swimmer to win the Olympic Games, and will tie the record of Li Ning and Zou Kai with three gold medals. ”
No Chinese swimmer has ever won three gold medals at one Olympic Games, with the previous record being two golds, with Sun Yang and Ye Shiwen each winning two gold medals at the 2012 London Olympics.
The record for the number of gold medals won by Chinese athletes in all sports is three gold medals in one Olympic Games, and Li Ning and Zou Kai won three Olympic gold medals in gymnastics in the 1984 and 2008 Olympic Games.
Duke, who has already won two Olympic gold medals in the 400 mixed and 400 free, will refresh and equal these Olympic glory if he can win this 100 breaststroke gold medal.
At this time, the audience finally quieted down, and the referee signaled that the men's 100 breaststroke final began!
Adam Peaty's jump start was very fast at 0.55 seconds. Douc had the second-fastest start reaction at 0.60 seconds.
Duke and Adam Pitty in lanes 4 and 5 had a fierce battle from the start, and only the two of them in the world could swim in under 58 seconds in the 100 frog event.
Just after 30 meters, Van der Berg, who finished third, was thrown off half of his body by Duke and Peaty.
In the Olympic-level 100m breaststroke final, it is impossible to beat the opponent by 10 seconds, and if you can win by one or two seconds, it is considered a big victory, which is not a 400m event.
Zhou Feifei explained nervously: "Pitty's rowing frequency is very high! In the first 50 meters, Pitty and Douc alternated leads! ”
Douc in lane 4 and Adam Pitty in lane 5, the two of you have a head over me, and they have never been able to extend their advantage to more than a head distance.
The British coach Fournis, who watched from the shore with his arms folded, was equally nervous: "Adam, you have to win, we need a gold medal!" After turning around, go all out! ”
Touching the wall in the first 50 meters, Douc was slightly ahead.
1. Du Ke, 26.61 seconds;
2. Adam Peaty, 26.68 seconds;
3. Vanderberg, 27.24 seconds;
4. Gomez, 27.50 seconds;
In the 50-meter segment, Douc was 0.07 seconds ahead of Peaty, who was more ahead of Van der Bergh in third.
Turned, this turn was decisive.
There was only one turn in the 100 frogs, and Douc finally opened the lead after diving out of the water with [Dolphin Turn].
Duke was half a body ahead of Peaty, and with 35 meters left, he turned on the [Big Water Wheel].
After Pitty turned around and came out of the water, he found that the situation was very critical, and Duke opened up half a body distance with one turn, and it was too late if he didn't work hard!
Pitty sped up his leg movements and chased after Duke, and in the breaststroke, he mainly relied on his legs to get the thrust of swimming.
"Adam! Hurry up! There is hope! "The BBC commentators and guests shouted.
The BBC commentary seat was next to the CCTV 5 commentary seat, and Mr. Han nervously stared at the screen of the broadcast equipment in front of him: "The last thirty meters, Pitty is chasing fiercely, he has touched the world record line!" The world record is 57.10 seconds, held by Doucle.
The rest of the group has been unable to catch up with Peaty and Ducco, with third-placed Van der Bergh more than a position behind the world record line of 57.10 seconds.
Duke knew that Adam Pitty was in hot pursuit, and after opening the [Big Water Wheel], after a round of arm and leg kicks to warm up, Douc accelerated twice.
Zhou Feifei stared at the screen intently: "But Du Ke is faster, he is waist pressing the world record line, keep this speed to the side, Du Ke will definitely rush into 57 seconds!" There are only 20 meters left! Come on, Duke! ”
"Doucle, hurry, hurry! Hold on, hold on! Su Yun in the stands, she couldn't see the world record line, this green line was made by the TV director for the TV audience to see. Su Yun's seat was facing the jumping platform, and from her vantage point, Duke was not much ahead of Peaty.
In the last dozen meters, the world record line in the live TV screen drew the line between Duke and Peaty.
Adam Pitty struggled to paddle out, his fingertips just touching the green line.
And Duke, his back-up rhythm is still high-frequency, and he has pressed the world record line!
"Chase! Chase! ”
"Can't catch up! Can't catch up! ”
The commentary seats of the Central 5 and BBC are separated by an aisle less than 2 meters wide, and the expressions of the commentators and commentators in China and Britain look similar, all nervous and excited, but the words shouted are completely different.
Pitty, who went all out, wanted to catch up with Douc, but he really couldn't catch up, and there were only 5 meters left.
Duke's face pressed the world record line and touched the wall first, the champion, the third gold!
Teacher Han suddenly raised his eyebrows: "56 seconds 29!" Duke swiped the men's 100m breaststroke world record to within 57 seconds, a big refresh! Congratulations to Duke Duke, who became the greatest athlete in the history of Chinese swimming, and won his third Olympic gold medal in swimming! To accomplish this feat in the history of Chinese swimming, Duke only took 24 hours! (To be continued.) )
