After the women's 400-meter freestyle preliminaries, the total results came out, and the two 400 freestyle competitors of the Chinese women's team, ranked 12th and 20th in the preliminaries, and both missed the finals.

Xu Jiayu was even more nervous: "Brother Du, the pressure is great!" Shao Yiwen and Zhang Wenjing are both very powerful female players, and they are the best 400 self players in China, but when they get here, they can't even enter the 400 self finals! The World Championships are really strong. ”

"The game, it's normal to win and lose, calm down, Xiao Xu, don't mess around." Du Ke comforted Xu Jiayu, but there was also a sense of oppression in his heart, Shao and Zhang did not play well, they played normally, and the reason why they did not enter the finals was that the opponent was indeed too strong.

At this time, the men's 400 self-qualification round began, and the two players representing the Chinese team in this event were Sun Yang and Hao Yun.

Sun Yang, who took the lead in the first group of the preliminaries, is also an Olympic champion and won two Olympic gold medals, but Sun Yang's popularity at the St. Hodi Aquatics Center is much worse than Ledesky's.

Except for Chinese journalists and a handful of Chinese students, no one cheered on Sun Tianwang anymore.

Sun Yang doesn't care, he often goes abroad to compete, and many things are used to it. The race began, and Sun Yang advanced at his own pace and won the first place in the group with a time of 3:44.67.

Hao Yun then came out and finished second in Group 3 with a time of 3:47.79.

In the end, Sun Yang and Hao Yun advanced to the men's 400 free finals with the first and sixth places in the preliminaries.

Sun and Hao's middle and long-distance double insurance is also reassuring, and they have finally made a good start for the Chinese swimming team.

After the group change, it was immediately entered the backstroke preliminaries round, and the women's 200m backstroke preliminaries began first.

Another strong American female athlete appeared, and the European audience and Western media at the St. Hoddy Aquatics Center were boiling as if welcoming the queen.

The American female titrant who reached 185CM is Missy Franklin, 18-year-old Franklin is known as the female flying fish, she is the women's version of Phelps + Rochette, in last year's London Olympics, Franklin won four golds and one silver, and broke two world records, it is indeed tough.

Franklin swam casually and advanced to the semifinals of the women's 200 back with a first place in the preliminaries.

Fu Yuanhui, the female player of the Chinese team, did not play well, ranked 19th in the preliminaries, and was eliminated. Of course, she focuses on 100 and 50 back, and 200 is not her strong point.

After the women's 200 back heats, the men's 200 back heats began.

The men's 200m preliminaries are divided into six groups, and the top 16 runners will enter the semi-finals.

The preliminary groups are randomly selected by FINA, and in principle, two athletes from the same country are not in the same group.

Du Ke was randomly placed in Group 4 of the men's 200 back preliminaries, while Xu Jiayu was in Group 6.

At this time, the men's 200 backstroke group 1 preliminaries were about to begin, and Japanese backstroke star Ryosuke Irie appeared. Irie is the silver medallist in the men's 200 back at the London Olympics and the Asian record holder in the 200 back.

Irie is quite popular in Spain, and the European audience at the scene gave him some applause, and needless to say, Japanese TV and sports reporters must be filming Irie, and some mainstream sports TV stations in the West, including ESPN and Canal+, also gave Irie a close-up of his face.

These well-known Western TV stations do not broadcast every preliminaries, and they will only broadcast the matches in which there are famous players. Of course, celebrities are selected according to Western standards, and Franklin and Ledesky are evaluated according to the standards of Western media. So the preliminaries in which these two American women will participate were broadcast live on Western television.

Sun Yang participated in the men's 400 self-preliminaries group stage, but no European and American media broadcast it live. Is Sun Yang a celebrity? Objectively speaking, he is definitely a world-class star in the men's middle and long distance freestyle events, but people just don't bird you, what can you do?

Of course, what we can do is to do our part and kill pride and prejudice with strong results.

It seems that in Europe, one Olympic silver medal by Japanese Ryosuke Irie is more effective than the two Olympic gold medals of Chinese Sun Yang, and ESPN and Canal+ are broadcasting the men's 200m backstroke preliminary group 1 competition in which Irie participates.

The two narrators of Canal+ are Villefort and Reno.

Villefort is a full-time sports commentator, and Reno is a former professional swimmer who has been a guest commentator on European sports television since retiring.

Sébastien Villefort and David Reno are both French, and the Canal+ Group is a television and broadcast media group headquartered in France. Canal+ is a media giant in Europe and even in the world, in addition to the French helm, they have branches in Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Scandinavia and other countries and regions, and its media influence is all over Europe.

Villefort and Reno were both at the World Championships in Barcelona, and they were commentating live for Canal+ French.

In fact, the French media paid more attention to this World Championships than the Spanish media, because the Spanish swimming team is not a world-class team, but the French swimming team is a strong team.

"Irie is the best backstroker in Asia, maybe he can cause some problems for Lochette and Clary, what do you think, David?" Villefort explained.

Reno answered, "yes, I think so, Sebastian. As you can see, the Japanese athlete is characterized by a smooth backstroke position, which is very smooth. It is said that when he swims in the river and swims in the backstroke, he puts a bowl of water on his forehead, and not a drop of water will be spilled, and he usually trains like this. It can be said that the backstroke posture of Irie is the most standard in the world, and it can be called a textbook. ”

Villefort: "Irie was the first to touch the wall and won the first place in the men's 200 back heats group 1 with a time of 1:56.98. It seems that he has retained his strength, but this result should also guarantee him a place in the semi-finals. Let's take a break and bring you the matches of Group 3 later. ”

During Group 2 of the preliminaries, Canal+ was broadcasting an advertisement, and a few minutes later, the screen cut back to the World Championships, as Rochette played in Group 3.

Villefort's voice sounded excited: "Rochette is on the scene, he is upright, brave, and never afraid, Roche turned around and walked alone, that's right, Ryan Rochette, he is Captain America, the latest Captain America, the ace of the American men's team!" In the men's 200 back, Lochette is undoubtedly the favourite, with a 72.88% chance of winning. ”

"Sebastian, I completely agree with your previous point." Reno, a swimmer by turn, said, "It's just...... How did you calculate Rochette's 72.88% chance of winning the championship? ”

Villefort laughed: "It's just a metaphor, dear David, maybe 82.88% or 92.88%. What I mean by that is that Lochette is definitely the No. 1 seed in the men's 200 back. ”

"......" Reno wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in his heart, this pure Frenchman is really French, so casual is really the default attribute of the French nation. Although Reno was born in France, he is half German, his mother is German, and his French ancestry is not as pure as that of Villefort.

In addition to the 72.88% who are not aware of it, Villefort's other statements are also accurate. Rochte, who is a year older than Phelps, is 29 years old and is the leader of the U.S. men's team. After Phelps retired last year, Lochte will take on even greater responsibility.

Despite being 29 years old, Lochette was in good form, finishing first in the 200 Back Group 3 preliminaries with a time of 1:55.70.

Rochette naturally retained his strength, and Duke watched the Captain America intently in the preparation area. In the last 50 meters, Rochette slowed down, and even though he saved his strength, Rochette still swam 1:55.70 in the heats.

Lochette swam casually in 1:55.70, faster than the men's 200 Chinese national record of 1:55.81 held by Ducco.

"Brother, Rochette really deserves his reputation......" Xu Jiayu was also observing Rochette, "In other words, Rochette started by backstroke when he first debuted, and I just entered our city's junior sports school at that time, and I grew up watching him swim in backstroke." ”

"Xiao Xu, why are you always like this?" Du Ke was a little unhappy, "Is it interesting to grow the morale of others and destroy the prestige of our army?" ”

Xu Jiayu bowed his head slightly, and said apologetically: "Brother, I'm sorry I was wrong, I won't do this again in the future." ”

"You don't have to tell me you're sorry, you can do it yourself." Du Ke patted Xu Jiayu on the shoulder, "You have to learn from Ning Zetao, learn from the fighting spirit of Baozi, he is still the first time to enter the national team, anyway, he has a firm revolutionary belief that he is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes." Yo, it's time for me to appear, bless me, brother. ”
