The men's 4x100m medley relay final was the final race of the day, with the U.S. winning the race in 3:29.06.

The Chinese team finished second with a time of 3:29.10, which set a new Asian record in the men's 4x100m medley held by the Japanese team.

Duke won his second silver medal at the World Championships, and his current record is 12 golds and 2 silvers, which is quite impressive, and all the athletes in a country together do not have more medals than he has won alone.

Doucle won 14 medals alone, and the U.S. men's swimming team won 1 gold, 8 silver and 4 bronze medals for a total of 13 medals, and their entire men's team won one less medal than Doucle, of course, plus the total number of medals of the U.S. women's swimming team (10 gold, 4 silver and 3 bronze), they are far more than Doucle.

The U.S. women's team still dominates the women's swimming world, but the U.S. men's team was almost beaten by Doucle alone in the individual event.

Duke now represents not only the power of China, but also the power of Asia.

In Asian swimming, there are actually only three powerful teams: China, Japan and South Korea.

The South Korean team, which lacks Park Tae-hwan, can only be regarded as a third-rate team in this World Championships. After the seventh day of competition, the Korean team won a total of three medals (1 bronze in the men's event and 1 silver and 1 bronze in the women's event).

The overall strength of the Japanese team is actually very strong, and without Duke, their men's team can win at least 1 to 2 golds. As of August 3, the Japanese team has won a total of 7 medals (3 silver and 2 bronze in the men's event and 1 gold and 1 bronze in the women's event).

Japan + South Korea, men + women, the remaining two of the top three in East Asia have won a total of 10 medals (including 1 gold medal), and Japan and South Korea together have not won more medals than Du Ke alone.

Finishing second in the medley relay + setting a new Asian record, Duke earned 25 bonus points and currently has 105 bonus points remaining.

Duke saved up these 105 bonus points and did not continue to pile up attributes or upgrade stunts, because he found that with his current attributes and stunts, he basically had no opponents in the swimming world.

His only opponent may be himself, or maybe the world records. The challenge of extreme results is certainly never-ending, and now the theoretical limits on each event can be called known limits, so no one can say what kind of height the unknown limits of mankind will reach.

There is no opponent, and the feeling of brushing the world record alone is actually a bit lonely......

To be a person at this height, it is normal to feel a little lonely like snow.

Target?

Duke's recent goal has been achieved, he has won 12 gold medals in the World Swimming Championships, and the twelve Golden Saints have been gathered, counting Garon (400 mixed) and Shi Ang (200 free relay), who have not yet appeared, he has a good chance of forming a Golden Saint Seiya reinforcement team.

Medium- to long-term goals?

Of course, Duke also has, the Olympic Games, the World Championships, the Asian Games, for Chinese swimmers, all the gold medals in these three competitions have been won, which can be called the "Swimming Grand Slam", this kind of character is a big winner with complete merits, and can enter the Chinese Swimming Hall of Fame. There are not many such figures, and among Chinese male swimmers, only Sun Yang has won a Grand Slam so far.

Du Ke also wants to complete the swimming grand slam, the gentleman has three stands, morality, meritorious service, and speech, who doesn't want to have a reputation for the ages?

Next year is 2014, and the 14-year Asian Games will be held in Incheon, South Korea, and it will be easier for Duke to blow up the Asian Games than the World Championships...... This goal will be achieved next year.

In the 2016 Rio Olympics, Du Ke will not miss it, in the hearts of the Chinese people, the status of the Olympic gold medal is higher than the gold medal in the World Championships and the World Cup in various events (except for a few sports such as football and tennis). If he hadn't won an Olympic gold medal, Duke felt that the system had been given for nothing.

The '14 Asian Games in Incheon, the '15 World Swimming Championships in Kazan, and the '16 Rio Olympics are the only three swimming events that will pique Duke's interest in the next three years.

In fact, in the field of long-course swimming, there are not many well-known and influential international large-scale competitions, and there are only the above three events. There are also some international competitions such as Grand Prix, but the level is not high, and countries do not organize national teams to participate in the Grand Prix, and players sign up for the competition in their individual names.

These Grand Prix are almost equivalent to training matches, test matches, ticket swiping matches, and warm-up matches, where reserve potential players from various countries go to brush tickets (Olympic Games, World Championships), accumulate experience in international competitions, and go back from injury to find their form, which is about this nature.

As for the short course game, Duke is not very interested, and the difference between the short course and the long course is probably equivalent to the difference between an indoor soccer game and an outdoor standard field soccer game. Messi and Ronaldo occasionally go to play two indoor football games, so they should relax, but they will never waste time doing this every day, and that's the reason.

So, Duke found that in the next three years, it seems that there are only three major events to participate in, and why spend eight days a year participating in the competition, and the remaining 357 days?

Domestic swimming competitions are no longer attractive to Du, at most they will be used to make tickets to the next World Championships and the A standard of the 16 Olympic Games, which is still early.

Du Ke, who has returned to his residence, has entered a daze mode, and he is thinking about his future life......

"Swimming, long-distance running, air pistol, archery, tennis."

"Swimming, long-distance running, air pistol, archery, tennis."

"Swimming, long-distance running, air pistol, archery, tennis."

He was lonely, in a daze, so he bored and toured the system, and the five items he repeated three times were his default skill items.

"Is it possible that I'm going to work on a new project other than swimming?" Duke had a whim.

Theoretically, with the system in hand, it is possible for Duke to become a versatile athlete in the sports world.

Throughout the history of world sports and the Olympic Games, there are not many all-round talented players who can do anything and become famous, but they have indeed appeared.

Duke thought of Michael Jordan, who retired after winning his first three-peat, and moreover, he went to the American Professional League Baseball. Of course, the reasons for this are too complex to be defined.

Another well-known figure is the famous goalkeeper of Mexican football, known as the "Flower Butterfly", Campos, who played surfing in his spare time off the football pitch and was ranked in the top 10 in the world rankings.

East Germany's Rotenburger has competed in three Winter Olympics and won two gold and one silver medal. The German girl probably thought that the Winter Olympics were all about, so she suddenly changed her career and took up cycling, and participated in the '88 Summer Olympics in Seoul, where Rotenburger won the silver medal in the track cycling at the Seoul Olympics.

There is also the British men's Chabros, who signed up for weightlifting and Greco-Roman wrestling at the same Olympics, and although he did not win a medal, he finished in the top eight.

The World Swimming Championships do not limit the entry of competitors, you can do it, so Duke began his brush journey. Not only can he participate in swimming competitions, but he can also sign up for diving, water polo, open water and other events at the same time, and the swimming is mainly gender-restricted, so Duke cannot sign up for synchronized swimming.

The Olympic spirit advocates that the focus is on participation, breaking through the limits, being higher, faster and stronger, swimming, long-distance running, air pistol, archery, tennis, ...... If you can make an A score or the world ranking meets the requirements for the Olympic Games, you can go all, you can go up, as long as you arrange the time between the major events.

The more Duke thought about it, the more excited he became, and he felt that this was very feasible, the most comprehensive wizard in the history of sports, proficient in everything!

Why not give it a try? (To be continued.) )
