Since the morning heats, there have been many upsets, which seems to indicate that today will be an extraordinary day.

The first to be the women's 100m backstroke heats, the 2012 London Olympics women's 100 back champion, the 2013 World Championships women's 100 back champion, the Grand Slam winner in this event, the most vocal champion before the game, the American Franklin, she finished 17th in the women's 100 back heats this morning, missed the semi-finals, and was eliminated.

There was an uproar at the swimming pool, this upset was too exciting, and the defending champion of the women's 100 back, Franklin, couldn't even enter the semifinals.

Missy Franklin was shocked to see the overall preliminaries standings, and she couldn't believe it was true.

In the individual event of 200 meters and below, the top 16 runners in the preliminary round will advance to the semi-finals, and the top 8 in the semi-finals will advance to the finals. The overall table of the Women's 100 Back Heats is:

First place, Hungary's Hosizu, 58.78 seconds. This result is very fierce, Huo Sizu swam in the preliminaries within 59 seconds, she is known as the European Iron Lady, all kinds of swimming styles are quite comprehensive, she mainly attacks mixing, back, secondary butterfly, self, can be called the female version of Du Brush.

second place, Australia's Siboam, 59.02 seconds;

third place, another Australian, Wilson, 59.08 seconds;

……

Sixteenth, China's Fu Yuanhui, 1:00.58. Fu Yuanhui is considered the best women's backstroker in China after Zhao Qing, but she has never swam in 59 seconds, and winning a World Championships medal in the 100 backstroke event is a major breakthrough for her, although this is not easy to do, and the 50 backstroke may be more certain for Fu Yuanhui.

Seventeenth, American Franklin, 1:00.60. The defending champion of the United States was eliminated by just 0.02 seconds slower than Fu Yuanhui.

After the preliminaries, Franklin declined all interviews, and she hid somewhere in the athletes' tunnel and sobbed silently.

Duke was just coming out of the locker room and going through the athletes' tunnel to participate in the men's 100 breaststroke preliminaries, when he found a blonde girl in a black swimsuit crouching in the corner crying, looking so sad.

Recognized by the blonde athlete, Duke crouched down next to the blonde and asked with concern, "Missy, what's wrong?" He and Missy Franklin are old friends, having won the Laureus Award together and were hired together as the new FINA ambassador last month, and they are partners in the swimming business.

As soon as Franklin saw Duke coming, she couldn't hold back any longer, threw herself into Duke Ke's arms, and changed her low sobbing to crying loudly: "Duke, woo woo, I'm eliminated!" Woowoo...... The preliminaries are out......"

"Oh?" Duke was quite surprised, Franklin's strength was very clear to him, Franklin didn't even make it to the semifinals of the women's 100 back, and it was indeed an upset.

Duke could only comfort Franklin: "You may have let go in the preliminaries, and the scale was not right. In yesterday's men's 100 back semi-finals, I also let go in the back and finally finished 7th in the semi-finals to advance to the final, which was also more thrilling. Recently, there have been a lot of newcomers with excellent strength, so we can't be careless in the next games, let's work together. Missy, you're still going to compete in the 200 back and 200 free, forget about today's episode, life and competition have to go on, don't you? ”

"Woo woo, I can't forget...... Hug me, hold me tight, I need your hug. "Franklin actually started to sell cute, of course, she is not very old, just turned twenty, and she can sell cuteness for a few years.

Duke hugged Franklin, friendly and warm, hugging can bring comfort to the wounded, and Doucle's old friend Miss Franklin needs his loving hug.

After a few seconds, Franklin wiped away her tears and stopped crying, and she said to Duke earnestly and gratefully, "Thank you, thank you for your comfort and hug." You are the most charismatic athlete in the world, the most considerate and refined gentleman, and ignore the stupid words of that idiot from Horton, I will always support you, Duke! ”

After saying that, Franklin cheered up and went back to the locker room to take a shower and change into casual clothes.

Duke sent Franklin away, and also sounded a warning bell for himself: release the water in moderation, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

In the subsequent men's 100 breaststroke and 200 self preliminaries, Du Ke did not dare to let go too loose, and he won the first place in the preliminaries of these two individual events and successfully advanced to the semifinals.

After the preliminaries, Du Ke, Sun Yang, and Fu Yuanhui took a bus back to the athletes' apartments.

Duke participated in the 100 breaststroke and 200 free in the morning, and Sun Yang and Du Ke registered the 200 free together, and he advanced to the 200 free semifinals with a third place in the preliminaries. Fu Yuanhui advanced to the semifinals of the women's 100 back.

Fu Yuanhui looked at Du Ke and Sun Yang, and sighed with deep emotion: "It's not easy to be a god. ”

"Oh? Why did Fu Ye say this? Du Ke and Sun Yang asked together.

Fu Yuanhui pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "You gods who are famous in the swimming world, you should win, and it is incredible to lose." Just like Franklin, she won the championship as a matter of course, but if she was eliminated, she had to bear the blame from all sides, which was not easy. ”

Duke smiled: "You squeezed Franklin out of the women's 100 back semifinals and pulled her off the altar, and now you sympathize with her again?" ”

Fu Yuanhui: "My main attack is 50 back, and as soon as I turn around at 50 meters, my combat power instantly becomes 5." I'm not very good at 100 backs, so I can only fight with all my might, and sometimes I'm barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, that's it. ”

Du Ke: "Your single focus still has to be on the 100 pitch event, or even the 200 pitch. We all know that 50 is not an Olympic event, do you just want to be a World Championships player? ”

"Hey, I don't want to." Fu Yuanhui spread his hands and said, "But I don't have much ambition, it's good if I can make a breakthrough anyway." People tend to lose to their unrealistic desires. Hope, so don't expect too much, just be yourself. ”

Du Ke and Sun Yang looked at each other: "How did Fu Yuanhui become so wise today?" ”

Fu Yuanhui smiled but didn't say anything, so profound.

Everyone was talking and laughing, time passed quickly, and after returning to the athletes' apartments, they had lunch, rested, and prepared for the evening competition.

At 18:30, the night game began.

The first race of the night was the women's 100m butterfly final.

Chinese women's butterfly swimmers Lu Ying and Chen Xinyi both entered the finals, and they launched a strong attack on the medal and even the gold medal.

However, the opponent was too fierce, and the Swedish butterfly queen and the world record holder in the event, Soström, made the other girls give up their thoughts on the championship in the first 50 meters.

In the end, Soström broke her own world record when she won the women's 100 butterfly with a new world record of 55.64 seconds. Lu Ying grabbed a valuable bronze medal, and Chen Xinyi was sixth.

TV commentators from all over the world were excited: "Oh! A world record was broken in the first race of the night, could it be a sign that tonight will be record night? The men's 100m backstroke final will be played next, and the world record holder in this event, Du Ke, will be on the field, and he will be in lane 1...... Duke, who finished seventh in the semifinals, was placed in lane 1 in the final, which is a rare sight. I wonder if Duke will be able to create a miracle on the side and bring us another exciting match after Southtrom? ”

The men's 100m backstroke final is about to begin, and Du Ke and Xu Jiayu advanced to the men's 100m backstroke final together.

Of the remaining six foreign backstrokers, Du Ke and Xu Jiayu know half of them and know the other half.

The two backstrokers of the U.S. team are Greaves and Murphy, Greaves is an Olympic champion and has been famous for a long time, and Greaves takes a young man, Murphy, to swim in the final, and it is not clear where Murphy came from.

Australia's two backstrokers are Draney and Larkin, and the veteran driver Dragin took the newcomer Larkin to the final.

The remaining two, with a tattoo on his right arm, is the handsome French man Camille Lacu, who became famous at the '08 Olympics. Raku is a famous male model in the swimming world, and he has long occupied the top spot in the men's swimming beauty list, until this year, when he was pulled off the top position by Duke.

The last little fresh meat is Russia's Lilov, who is 18 years old this year and is unknown before and difficult to find relevant information.

Mr. Han, who was commenting on the competition, said: "The eight players in the men's 100 back final can be described as old and young, Greaves, Delany and Raku are all in their thirties, and the rest of the players are in their early twenties, or even less than twenty years old. ”

Zhou Feifei continued: "The current training methods are becoming more and more scientific and data-based, so the golden period of swimmers has come in advance. We salute a few veterans and look forward to the surprises that up-and-coming stars will bring us. Judging by the semi-final results, all eight competitors swam under 53 seconds, which is quite rare in recent years. Duke swam 52.88 seconds in the semi-finals and finished seventh. Xu Jiayu fought very fiercely, with a semi-final score of 52.53 seconds, ranking fourth. ”

Mr. Han: "Duke was assigned to start in lane 1 in the final, which is not what he is used to. Okay, the game begins, let's follow the game! (To be continued.) )
