Chapter 136: We Will Not Bow Our Heads! (5th Watch)
According to the big screen at the San Hodi Aquatics Centre, Duke swam 46.88 seconds in the men's 100m freestyle heats in Group 8, which is faster than the men's 100 self-set world record.
Junior high school students can also judge in three seconds that Duke set a new world record in the men's 100 seconds with a time of 46.88 seconds, which is faster than the current world record of 46.91 seconds.
However, at the scene of the San Hodi Aquatics Center, the FINA referee team gave the opinion that the results of the preliminary round of Group 8 are pending and need to be reviewed.
Eight assistant referees stood on the edge of the eight lanes of the diving platform, supervised the eight players in the 8th group, and told the players that they could not go ashore for the time being, and that they could only go ashore if the results were finalized.
It doesn't matter who swims in the other 7 lanes, it's okay to swim again.
Duke is very so-called, why revisit? It doesn't make sense.
He grabbed the handrail on the pool wall and saw a crowd of foreigners in black trousers and light-colored lapel outfits gathered on the shore, mostly white, who were FINA referees.
The referees were also accompanied by two middle-aged white men in suits with FINA logo badges pinned to their left chests, and these two white men were FINA officials.
Seven or eight referees and two FINA officials are reviewing the results of Group 8 around three data terminal displays. There was a monitor showing the preliminaries of Duke's Group 8.
"It doesn't make sense, it makes so much sense!" Zhou Jianlin, the assistant coach of the Chinese men's team, is very angry, he is in charge of the freestyle under 400 meters, and he is now nominally the head coach of Du Ke.
"That's it, racism, huh?" Instructor Pei and Instructor He suppressed a wave of anger, "What other results do you confirm?" Duke didn't jump again, what is there to confirm this? ”
Even Butterfly Coach Yang, who has the most general relationship with Du Ke, was indignant, and he looked at the direction of the referee team and said: "If they cancel Du Ke's 100 self-qualification results, or ask to swim again, it will be Chi Guoguo's prejudice and contempt, and prejudice and contempt for us Chinese." ”
At this time, in the referee area, an FINA official in a suit pointed to Du Ke, and exchanged words with another official next to him, who didn't know what he was whispering.
Zhou Jianlin couldn't hold back anymore, he couldn't bear it anymore, the ghost guy was ready to attack Du Ke! With a rush of enthusiasm, he strode towards the referee team.
The referee area is a restricted area, and no one is allowed to enter it at will except for the referees and FINA officials. Athletes can only enter the referee area to sign and confirm the results with the permission and leadership of the referee and assistant referee.
As soon as Zhou Jianlin rushed to the periphery of the referee area, several FINA staff stopped him and did not allow him to enter.
"I'm the coach of the Chinese team, and I want to talk to your boss." Zhou Jianlin said in English to the staff of the swimming federation that although he was angry, his attitude was quite polite.
A white staff member, speaking with a pure British London accent, said coldly, "I'm sorry, sir, but the coach is not qualified to communicate with our boss." If you want to communicate with an FINA official, please ask the first official of your national swimming association to submit an application according to the FINA rules and procedures, and we will arrange a meeting within 15 working days. ”
The grassroots staff of FINA played an official tone, prevaricated Zhou Jianlin, and did not give a reasonable explanation for Du Ke's performance review.
Angry, humiliated, unspeakable, and Chinese unjust encounter, Zhou Jianlin couldn't bear it anymore, and he shouted at the FINA officials in the referee area: "You guys are deliberately making things difficult!" Why do you need to confirm Doucle's results? Blind people can tell that he broke the world record! ”
Zhou Jianlin called for fairness and justice for the unfair treatment of Chinese athletes, and he quickly attracted the attention of FINA officials and referees.
The referee was a white man with thick eyebrows, he walked up to Zhou Jianlin, pointed to the direction of the exit of the swimming center, his tone was cold and threatening: "Mr. Chinese coach, please leave the St. Hodi Swimming Center, on behalf of FINA, I officially issue an expulsion order to you, please leave this swimming pool within 5 minutes, otherwise FINA may cancel the results of all Chinese athletes who have participated in the competition, yes, we will reserve this right." ”
Zhou Jianlin stopped talking, his eyes burned with anger, but he dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, aggrieved, very aggrieved. He knows that the top officials of FINA are basically white people from Europe, the United States and Australia, and they say that if they want to cancel the results of the Chinese team, as long as they grasp the slightest so-called handle, they will really do it.
Zhou Jianlin's current feeling is like watching a group of robbers rush to his house, take his wife, and dominate his land, but he can't do anything but watch the robbers act recklessly, which is this sense of grief and indignation.
Finally, Zhou Jianlin didn't say a word, he glanced at Du Ke, who was still in the pool, and then turned around and left the referee area, and walked directly out of the exit of the San Hodi Swimming Center.
Zhou Jianlin went to seek justice, but was expelled and threatened. This scene, Du Ke in the pool saw it in his eyes.
Compared with Zhou Jianlin, Du Ke is calm, although he is not happy and has to review the results, but since he arrived on the side, he has not complained to the assistant coach on the shore.
Until this moment, his head coach Zhou Jianlin, the head coach who brought himself into the national team and was regarded as a mentor, was expelled from the field by the referee like a lost dog, and the anger in Du Ke's chest had burned to the extreme.
But Douc didn't have a seizure, on the contrary, he smiled.
Crying with joy, laughing with anger, an emotion boiling to the extreme evolves into a diametrically opposed external representation.
After a 10-minute review, FINA finally recognized all the results of the 8 lanes in the men's 100m freestyle preliminaries group 8.
There were no problems, and the referees could not find any reason to reschedule Group 8 to swim again.
Moreover, this round of the 100 self-preliminaries has been broadcast live by many TV stations around the world, and without a good reason, international swimming will not dare to casually cancel a new world record.
At this time, the assistant referee on the shore of lane 2 told Duke in English: "Go ashore, go to the referee's area to sign, your score counts." ”
Du Ke then went ashore, and after going ashore, he smiled and took the initiative to shake hands with the assistant referee, who was quite embarrassed by the assistant referee.
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, the assistant referee saw that Du Ke was quite obedient, and said in his heart: After this Chinese touched the wall, he did not complain, it is good to be obedient, and the Chinese just have to be obedient.
The assistant referee led Du Ke to the referee team work area and asked Du Ke to sign on a printed A4 paper, which is the result confirmation form, and the example card came.
Brushing and brushing, Du Ke signed his English name "K.DU" and asked the referee "OK?" ”
The referee said OK and said you can go.
After signing, Duke's new world record of 46.88 seconds will be officially recognized by FINA, and as long as there is no problem with the urine test, he will become the new men's 100m freestyle world record holder.
With a smile on his face, Duke slowly paced towards the periphery of the referee's area.
FINA officials are very satisfied with Duke's performance, as long as you Chinese are obedient and know how to compromise, then everything can be negotiated, this Chinese athlete is much more sensible than their coach.
Du Ke had already left the referee area and was located on the left side of the pool, when he suddenly stopped and stopped moving towards the preparation area of the Chinese team.
Duke stood still, turned, and faced the judges' area, his smile fading, replaced by the majesty of a lion. He clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly because the force of the fist was too strong and his extremely boiling emotions.
Du Ke faced the referee area, raised his head and looked up to the sky, and roared in the extreme voice he could scream: "Long live China!" China will win! The Chinese never back down! ”
After being suppressed for too long, this Chinese lion roared out the bloody ambition of Chinese men and the fighting belief that Chinese will never compromise and bow to those who act recklessly!
