Chapter 181: The Last Match Day
August 4, the last day of the 15th World Swimming Championships.
There are only three finals today, the 1500m freestyle final, the 400m medley final, and the 4*200m freestyle relay final.
St. Hodi Aquatics Center, the preparation area of the Chinese team.
"Time flies, it's been a month since we came to Spain." Du Ke said to Sun Yang.
Sun Yang put on his swimming cap and said, "Yes, the days of the competition are always tense and fulfilling. Du Ke, you have become a god this time, hehe, big brother, I will have to mess with you in the future. Brother Du, take me. ”
"Brother Sun, don't run me." Du Ke smiled, and suddenly sighed melancholy: "Hey, I'm so tired." ”
Sun Yang said with concern: "This event, you are indeed too tired, except for today, the remaining 7 competition days, you have to swim an average of seven or eight games a day, which is very hard." From tomorrow onwards, you need to relax. ”
Du Ke nodded: "Yes, I have to rest for a while, it's almost a year off, and I'll come back next year just in time for the Asian Games." ”
Looking at Du Ke's seriousness, Sun Yang was a little surprised: "It's almost okay to take a month off, take a year off, what do you want to do?" ”
There was longing in Du Ke's eyes, and he pleaded with Sun Yang pitifully: "Coach, I want to play basketball." ”
Sun Yang was stunned for two seconds, and then scolded with a smile: "Get out!" You're Mitsui Shou, and I'm still Rukawa Kaede. He was deceived by Du Ke's realistic acting skills just now, and thought that Du Ke was really going to take a year off, but now he suddenly found that Du Ke was pretending to be forced.
"No, I'm going to play." Sun Yang got up and prepared to go to the 1500 freestyle finals.
Du Ke high-fived Sun Yang: "Come on, let's win another gold, and finally hit the 200 self-relay race, and everyone will be happy with the perfect ending." ”
"Okay." Sun Yang agreed with Du Ke's point of view and moved towards the departure area.
Up to now, not counting the relay event, Du Ke + Sun Yang have won a total of 13 gold medals in individual events, and after a while, 13 may become 15.
Therefore, the 17 gold medals in individual events are very likely to be divided between two countries, China (15) and South Africa (2).
This is truly an incredible World Swimming Championships.
Duke didn't really want to play basketball, he joked with Sun Yang, but he might go to open up a second battlefield for other sports. Of course, we'll talk about everything after all the games are over today.
At this time, the women's 1500m freestyle final was over, and the American women's Ledesky won the championship, which was also the 11th gold won by the American women's swimming team (9 individual + 2 relay races).
In the subsequent men's 1500 freestyle final, Sun Yang defeated American Jagger again and won the gold medal, which was also the 15th gold medal won by the Chinese men's swimming team (14 individual + 1 relay race).
Sun Yang won all three gold medals in his three events (400, 800, 1500), and his gold medal rate was 100%, which is higher than Duke. Duke won two silver medals (50 breaststrokes, medley relay), so he couldn't have achieved a 100% gold medal.
Sun Yang won three gold medals with a 100% shooting rate, which can be called the king of the middle and long distance freestyle, and if he and Du Ke's 200 free relay team can win another gold, this World Championships will be perfect for Sun Yang.
After the 1500m freestyle, the final of the last individual event of the World Championships began - the 400 mixed final.
As the queen of the medley event and the double champion of the Olympic medley, Ye Shiwen played abnormally in the 200 mixed final yesterday, only finishing fourth, and did not even win a medal.
She is the world record holder in the women's 400m medley event, and Yip will have to prove herself in the women's 400m mixed final, and she needs a gold medal to boost her morale.
However......
In the first women's 400 mixed final, Ye Shiwen played even worse, she didn't even keep the 4th, she only won the 7th place, that is, the penultimate one.
The coaching staff of the Chinese team let out a sigh, and after going ashore, Ye Shiwen herself shed tears of remorse.
The unexpected loss of the 200 mixed may have caused a certain psychological pressure on Ye Shiwen, causing her to continue to slump in the 400 mixed final.
At this time, the coaches of the Chinese team felt that a talent like Du Ke was a real horror.
After losing the 50 breaststroke final on the third match day, Duke ushered in his peak moment, and then he won 10 golds and broke the world record every day, and finally became a god.
Now that the Duke of Terror is on the platform in lane 4, Duke will compete in his final individual final.
The start order sounds, and the men's 400 mixed final begins!
Even if Rochette signed up for the 400 hype, he is no match for Douc right now. This 400 mixed final was the easiest of all the individual events in which Duke participated.
Duke, who is full of energy and can stunt at full speed, established a clear lead after the first round of the 100-meter butterfly swim.
After cutting the frog back, entering the breaststroke round, Duke was already three positions ahead of the second-place finisher Kosuke Ogino of Japan.
At this point, Duke only performed two stunts, a thousand miles of jumps, and a dolphin turn.
Because he had to wait for the final of the 4*200m freestyle relay, Duke left three dolphin turns to correspond to the relay race. The CD is 8 leg beats in 1 hour, and he is not going to open it, so he also saves it for use in the relay race.
By this time, Duke had completed the breaststroke turn and entered the final round of the 100-meter freestyle.
Duke turned on the big waterwheel and sprinted, and after one last turn, he was already five positions ahead of Kosuke Ogino.
In fact, after entering the breaststroke round, there is no suspense about the outcome of the game.
In the end, Douc touched the wall first with a huge lead and won the men's 400m medley.
It was his 13th gold medal (12 people + 1 relay).
Duke's time of 4:03.99 did not break his own world record.
The world record of 4 minutes and 03 seconds he set in the 400 mixed preliminaries is already very perverted, this record was brushed by Du Ke after adding attributes, full of physical strength, and all stunts are in full swing, and it is not so easy to break.
After the men's 400 mixed final, all the gold medals in the individual event were produced, Du Ke won 12 gold medals in the individual event, Sun Yang won 3 golds, and Van der Bergh and Le Clos of the South African team won the gold medals in the 50 frogs and 200 butterflies.
The men's 17 individual gold medals were divided between two Chinese and two South Africans.
A group of male star athletes from Europe, the United States and Australia collectively covered their faces, except for the American men's team won a gold medal in the medley relay, they had nothing to gain.
The men's athletes from Europe and Australia only have one last chance to redeem, and they only have one last race left, the 4*200m freestyle relay.
Naturally, the U.S. men's swimming team wants to snatch the gold medal in the 200 free relay so that they can win two gold medals at this World Championships.
Of course, the Chinese men's swimming team's Duke of Terror and Sun Tianwang also want to end perfectly, will they give European, American and Australian players a last chance to redeem?
In the final of the women's 4x200m freestyle relay, the U.S. women's team won the championship, winning all three gold medals in the women's relay event.
Missy Franklin of the U.S. women's team has brushed up six gold medals at the World Championships, and without Duke, the U.S. Flying Fish would be the brightest star at the World Championships.
Compared to Duke's 13 golds, Franklin's 6 golds are slightly thin.
The women's swimming landscape hasn't changed, and the U.S. women's team remains unassailably dominant.
In the preparation area of the U.S. team, coach Lachman is making the final mobilization of the upcoming U.S. men's relay team, "Guys, be strong!" Are you not even as good as women? Yesterday you did a great job, you defeated the invincible Chinese team, I am proud of you! Now, I'm going to say to you, keep doing it again! The Duke of Terror is actually not terrifying at all, don't scare yourself, if you want to cry, you have to cry secretly for Lao Tzu to go home, do you understand? ”
Locht, Dwill, Hodchney, Burns and other four people shouted in unison: "Understood! We will definitely wash the Chinese team in blood and capture the duke alive! (To be continued.) )
