Chapter 292 Too happy, right?(1/2)
In this 200-meter medley final, although Shen Lang underwent a urine test before the game, there was no group test, which means that other players were once again exempted.
This is naturally the retaliation of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee. Since you won’t receive the award through group testing, then just continue to test you alone.
But testing sometimes and not testing at other times made the other players anxious. Before the final, only two bold guys showed a significant improvement in their condition, while the rest still did not dare to act rashly.
Shen Lang didn't mind them having a collective orgasm, because the power of chemicals and drugs might allow these players to improve their best times by one or two seconds, but it was impossible to improve the world record by three or four seconds like him.
At this time, the Western media also knew that Shen Lang would probably continue to win the championship, but the ratings of this final were still very high, because "medley" has been the most watched event in swimming since it was added to the Olympic Games.
The so-called "mixed", as the name suggests, means swimming a quarter of a mile each in the four strokes of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle in order.
The reason why these four swimming styles use "butterfly" as the first starting action is mainly determined by its own special action mechanism, because butterfly stroke consumes the most physical energy. Swimming 50 meters is better, but swimming 100 meters is just one word "
tired".
If this action is ranked at the end, there will not be many athletes who can use the last stage of the race to sprint, so for the sake of viewing, the fastest freestyle among the four swimming styles should be placed at the end to make the last stage of the race more interesting.
Be more exciting.
In addition, among many swimming events, medley swimming can be said to be a much more difficult sport than other swimming events, because it not only tests the players' mastery of each swimming stroke, but also tests the players' ability to turn around when hitting the wall.
The connection between different swimming styles.
But this is an innate advantage for Shen Lang, because he not only has the most scientific training and technology, but also has far longer training time than others. In fact, he has already mastered the four swimming strokes one by one.
.
He has already broken records in four events in this Olympics, but including butterfly and freestyle, he still has a lot of skills that he has not yet shown.
Take the 100-meter butterfly as an example. His current time of 52.62 seconds has been greatly improved from the original world record. However, forty years later, the world record for this event was 49.50 seconds.
The gap of 3 seconds in the 100-meter event is already very large, especially as the world record becomes more and more extreme, every 0.1 second increase will become very difficult.
This also means that Shen Lang is not only not top-notch in terms of athletic talent, he also has a lot of tricks up his sleeve technically.
Shen Lang naturally did this because he was worried that Western players would steal all his unique skills at once and learn them, which would greatly increase the difficulty for the next generation of Chinese players.
In today's 200-meter medley final, Shen Lang once again demonstrated his abnormal starting ability. His jumping start made him almost half a body ahead of the other swimmers as soon as he entered the water, and he was one body ahead after coming out of the water. This
It is also one of his most watched unique skills at present.
In addition, the message he showed to outsiders was that he was invincible in "butterfly" and "freestyle", so he naturally had to show this advantage to the fullest in the first stroke. When he hit the wall after swimming 50 meters, he turned around and switched to the second backstroke stroke.
By that time, he had already surpassed the other runners by two or three positions. This was only 50 meters?
At this time, the time of Shen Lang's first swimming stroke was timely shown on the live broadcast screen. It was actually 0.5 seconds faster than the first half of the 100-meter butterfly stroke when he participated in it. This means that he has definitely retained his strength in the 100-meter butterfly event.
His limit is far beyond 52.62 seconds.
But in the second swimming stroke, Shen Lang's speed seemed to have been suddenly switched from 5th gear to 1st gear.
At this moment, American player Pablo Morales, who was ranked second, and British player Nell Cochran, who was ranked third, actually began to narrow the gap with Shen Lang.
This made tens of thousands of spectators outside the open-air venue cheer in unison. This kind of scene of narrowing the gap with Shen Lang is so rare, it is simply more exciting than winning the championship!
After the 50-meter second leg of the backstroke, Shen Lang was caught up by three swimmers and was only one position behind.
The third stroke of the medley is "breaststroke". This stroke, along with backstroke, is a stroke that Asian athletes can compete with the world's masters. A Japanese athlete participating in the final today also slowly caught up to fourth place.
However, Shen Lang's condition still did not improve after changing to breaststroke, and the gap continued to be narrowed by the players behind him.
This made the audience cheer even louder, especially when they saw that before hitting the wall for the last time, Pablo Morales and Nell Cochran both completed the overtake, even the one whose name could not be found at all
The Japanese players also kept pace with Shen Lang, and the entire audience almost peed with excitement.
But after entering the fourth swimming position, this roaring roar was like the surrounding space suddenly falling into a vacuum, and the whole world became terrifyingly quiet at this moment!
This is because they saw an astonishing scene. Shen Lang changed his swimming style to freestyle, as if using a cheating acceleration prop. In an instant, he quickly surpassed the leader who had just been leading at a dizzying speed.
Pablo Morales and Nell Cochran.
But the performance was not over yet. After Shen Lang regained the first place, his speed was still increasing. He was like a small torpedo advancing rapidly, still accelerating to widen the distance from other players, and finally ended up with a desperate result.
The advantage hit the wall first, and the score given on the electronic screen was - 1 minute, 59 seconds and 31 seconds!
There is no doubt that this is another new world record. Shen Lang not only improved the original world record by a full three seconds, but also became the first human being in the world to swim under two minutes in the 200-meter individual medley.
Pablo Morales and Nell Cochran naturally looked desperate after hitting the wall. They did feel that they had hope of beating Shen Lang for a moment before the last 50 meters.
But when Shen Lang completed the overtake with astonishing explosive power in the last 50 meters, they really lost their confidence in competing against this terrifying Chinese again.
In this game, they completely pushed themselves to the limit with external help, because their results also broke the original world record.
But unlike Shen Lang who directly improved the new world record by 3 seconds, they only improved the original record by 1 second.
Shen Lang is only 18 years old now. He has time to perfect the breaststroke and backstroke that he is not good at, and once again expand the world record to an incredible level.
This means that they cannot defeat him in this project now. In the future, the gap with Shen Lang will only become further and further out of reach, and they will never be able to defeat him.
As for tomorrow's 400-meter medley final, the two of them don't have the slightest confidence. Although the doubled competition distance will double Shen Lang's shortcomings in backstroke and breaststroke, it will also make it worse.
His advantage in butterfly and freestyle has doubled. Doesn’t this mean the gap is even bigger?!
But this gold medal is also the final gain of the Chinese delegation today. On this competition day, the Chinese delegation only received 3 gold medals, two of which came from Shen Lang.
Although he has become the athlete with the most gold medals in a single session in the entire history of the Olympics with five gold medals in a single session, the upward momentum of the Chinese delegation seems to have begun to slow down.
But from a personal level, Shen Lang's incredible performance naturally shocked the world!
Now the whole world is no longer talking about the Chinese delegation's 17 gold medals in four days, but about this once-in-a-century swimming prodigy.
At this time, only Wu Jie paid more attention to the results of the United States. They had already caught up to 15 gold medals on the gold medal list on this day. Now the gap with China is only two gold medals. How long can the Chinese delegation maintain this advantage?
########
On the second day, the performance of the Chinese delegation improved somewhat, mainly because gymnastics began to appear on the stage, which is also China's traditional advantage.
Lou Yun of the Chinese gymnastics team took the lead in helping the Chinese team win the gold medal in the men's vault event in the morning, while Ma Yanhong helped China win the gold medal in the women's balance beam in the afternoon.
These two gold medals were honors obtained from the original level. Lou Yun and Ma Yanhong were the favorites to win their respective events, so Wu Jie only used two gold-level cards to ensure that these two gold medals would not be unexpected.
The men's parallel bars gold medal in the afternoon was an unexpected surprise, because Xu Zhiqiang, who participated in this event, is not considered a world star, or in other words, he is still at the bottom among world stars for the time being.
Therefore, Xu Zhiqiang in the original plane did not enter the top three, but after Wu Jie used a platinum-level card to support him, Xu Zhiqiang's performance today was extraordinary, especially in terms of the number and connection of his weak flying moves, he almost excelled.
His ultimate level.
This also allowed him to upset the American star Barthold Connell and the Japanese star Nobuyuki Kajitani with a score of 19.475 points, helping the Chinese team win a gold medal in the weak parallel bars event of gymnastics.
These three gymnastics gold medals also allowed the Chinese delegation to stabilize the situation, although in the evening they were still only one short of being caught up by the energetic American delegation in terms of gold medals.
At this time, Shen Lang stood up again. Not only did he not miss in the 400-meter medley final in the evening, he did not even overtake him in the third stroke yesterday, although his results in backstroke and breaststroke were average.
, but still maintained a one-body lead before entering the final freestyle.
This was enough to let audiences around the world know the final outcome. Sure enough, Shen Lang turned into an electric dolphin in the last 100 meters. When he finally hit the wall, he had already left behind Tamas Darny of Hungary and David of the United States.
·Wharton is as high as 4 or 5 positions.
Shen Lang's final time in the 400-meter medley was 4 minutes, 14 seconds and 89 seconds. Not only did he break the world record again, he also habitually improved the new record by two or three seconds.
It is said that more than 300 million people around the world watched this game on TV, because everyone wanted to see if Shen Lang could really create an unprecedented record?
In the end, he announced the answer without any suspense. There are really people in this world who can sign up for 6 swimming events at the same time and win gold medals in all of them.
At this time, many people were extremely shocked and couldn't help but think about something deeper.
If the Chinese swimming team can add a few more second-rate players in the world, will Shen Lang and these teammates participate in relay events and win a few more gold medals?
This hypothesis is very possible in theory, because the individual competitions and team competitions of swimming categories in the Olympic Games are held separately, so that athletes who participate in individual events in the first half can participate in team events in the second half.
The terrifying level Shen Lang has shown, if he is paired with a few second-rate swimmers in butterfly and freestyle events, then he is fully capable of leading this team to win medals.
If the players in this team can all reach the top second-tier level, then there is a great chance of hitting the gold medal!
This is actually Shen Lang's plan. After the Olympics, he will use his soaring influence and huge financial resources to quickly select dozens of good seedlings from all over the country.
Swimming is not like track and field. Even a good prospect in the latter cannot achieve results without ten years of scientific training.
But swimmers produce results very quickly. If they are really good, they can usually start swimming in 4 to 6 years.
So after a few months, dozens of good young people aged 8 to 12 were selected from across the country and trained by him personally. Four years later, some of them could be his helpers.
If that doesn't work, he can upgrade a few good prospects in their twelfth or thirteen years old to four-star physical talents.
This kind of physical talent, coupled with his technical training, actually has the strength to compete for medals.
However, after Shen Lang won his sixth gold medal and became the most prominent figure in the world of sports, even many Chinese viewers forgot that they also had a dominant genius in gymnastics!
Of course, this person is Li Ning. Shortly after the end of the men's 400-meter medley, in the men's pommel horse final held in another venue, Li Ning defeated the United States' Peter Vidima and Timothy Da with a score of 19.150.
Gate, successfully won the fourth gold medal for the gymnastics team today.
The four gold medals won by the Chinese gymnastics team not only allowed the attention that was suppressed by the shooting team and weightlifting team to finally begin to recover, but also allowed the Chinese delegation to barely withstand the pursuit of the American delegation, and finally held on before the end of the fifth competition day.
took the first position.
But it is a pity that Shen Lang's 6 gold medals are too dazzling. His brilliance alone overshadowed the gymnastics team that made great contributions today.
In addition, today's big ball sports have also reignited the war. These competitions have also made it difficult for gymnastics competitions, which are not so entertaining, to get much attention.
But in fact, the men's football team, women's basketball team, men's volleyball team, and women's handball team have basically qualified early, and today's game is not that important.
The women's basketball girls, who have attracted much attention recently, faced the Australian women's basketball team today. This women's basketball team is similar to their men's basketball team. They are both among the top second-tier players in the world, and can also be said to be the first-tier goalkeepers.
