[Competition] Strive for the top

After the Chinese team moved into the Athletes Village, athletes from various countries also arrived in the metropolis of Shanghai, China one after another, and began to adapt to the venue nervously, preparing for the Shanghai World Swimming Championships.

On July 7, the women's 24x4m freestyle relay preliminaries kicked off the first shot at the Shanghai World Championships.

Also this morning, Wen Hao and Liu Lang participated in the preliminaries of the 400-meter freestyle together, and entered the finals with good results of No.2 and No.3 in the preliminaries respectively.

On the first day, there was no competition, and the fun revolved around the big brother, especially before the finals in the afternoon, there were massages and chocolates, and Yuan Zheng, who followed behind, had red eye circles. Recalling so far, this job seems to have always He did it for the amusement, and he has never enjoyed it.

You Le understood Yuan Zheng's big black face, and deliberately hummed like a disgusting person: "It's a girlfriend, a girlfriend~~"

Wen Hao was drinking water with his head up, when he heard the words, he spit out a sip of water, and cursed: "You want to die, don't you?"

Yuan Zheng glanced at Wen Hao, then at You Le, turned back and forth twice, didn't know what to think of, and smiled strangely, rubbing You Le's head hehe, quite happy.

You Le raised his hand to poke Yuan Zheng's waist, and cursed hypocritically: "I hate it~~ What did you think of you?"

Wen Hao's goosebumps popped out immediately.

You Le quarreled with Yuan Zheng for a while, and seeing that the time was about the same, he left space for Wen Hao to adjust himself, so whether it was playing tricks or avoiding, he hoped that Wen Hao could get a good ranking this time.

little time.

The final of the women's 4x100m freestyle relay is in full swing, and the roof of the swimming pool of the Oriental Sports Center is about to fly amidst the fierce cheering.

Meanwhile, Wen Hao and Liu Lang were already quietly taking their positions backstage, making final pre-match preparations.

At the end of the women's relay race, the Chinese women's relay missed the medal with a difference of 0.12 seconds, and only got No.4.

The warm atmosphere in the arena continued, and the finalists of the men's 400m freestyle entered the arena.

Both Liu Lang and Wen Hao are very popular in the team, so as soon as they entered the field, the Chinese team shouted, and whistles and horns sounded one after another. enthusiasm.

You Yue has a small trumpet in his hand, and he also blows it when he sees people, but he is cheering for Wen Hao in his heart.Maybe he has a good relationship with Liu Lang, but he is not as good as Wen Hao, and after watching Wen Hao practice hard day and night for half a year, drinking Chinese medicine while pinching his nose, if he can, he really wants to help Wen Hao swim.

The anxiety suffocated in his body was beyond words, as if he was suffering in a fire, but he still couldn't exert his strength.

Wen Hao's preliminaries result was 3:46, ranking third. This result can be regarded as Wen Hao's best result so far.

Liu Lang ranked ahead of him, which was also a rare good result.Ranked first is the Tunisian star Melori, only 1.21 seconds faster than him.If such a gap is placed in the short distance, it is absolutely irreversible, but in the 400-meter long-distance race, there is a great chance of overtaking.

And in this event, Kim Shin-in, the No.7 Korean player in the preliminaries, who also has the championship strength, can be said to be the strongest opponents of Liu Lang and Wen Hao to win the gold.

Ye Shuwen frowned in the stands, pulled his clothes anxiously, held the stopwatch tightly in his hand, and finally couldn't help standing up from the seat, walked to the railing, and stared at Wen Hao.

To put it eccentrically, when he returned to the national team this time, it can be said that he put more than half of his enthusiasm on Wen Hao.After all, You Le was brought out by You Mingjie, and Yuan Zheng was also the top horse of You Mingjie's Bole point. It was not easy for him to interfere too much with these two people, so all the knowledge and enthusiasm in his head burst into Wen Hao, who had considerable potential.

Although, sometimes he would say that it is good to do his best, but in fact he still hopes that Wen Hao can win the gold medal under his guidance, which is like a continuation of a dream, a kind of sustenance.

He also knew that he was forcing Wen Hao, even imposing his dream on the other party, which was overbearing and unreasonable.But from another perspective, he is really optimistic about Wen Hao, and feels sorry for the child who died halfway, hoping that he can stand up and find confidence one day.

As long as a gold medal is needed, a gold medal can turn this child's future upside down...

"Beep!" The starting gun sounded.

At the same time, Ye Shuwen and You Le, who were trapped in their own thoughts, were awakened.At the moment of returning to their senses, the two of them simultaneously set their sights on the third path.

From take-off to entering the water and then exiting the water, it is perfect, fast response, good angle, great start, a very good start!

The white waves rolled in the swimming pool, and the three-way Wen Hao was wearing a black swimming cap, and the five-star red flag on the side was very conspicuous.Once the line of sight stops, you can find that his upper body movements are very standard.

Wen Hao's freestyle movements are just like his external impression. His arms are extremely stretched, his slender and powerful arms stretch forward to the extreme, and the frequency of movements when he holds the water back is slow, revealing an elegant taste.

You Mingjie once said that if Wen Hao's upper body movements and You Le's leg movements are combined, let alone an Olympic champion, it would not be difficult to break the world record once a year.

Of course, strictly speaking, there is still a gap between You Le and Wen Hao, at least Wen Hao's arm movements can be practiced, and You Le's leg movements have hardly been copied so far.But this still shows Wen Hao's plasticity in freestyle, and why Ye Shuwen is very optimistic about him.

400米自是个偏向激烈的比赛。可如果说50米和100米都是200%的压榨自己的能力，那么400米自由泳就应该是120%的激发自己的潜能，全程游下来，远比短距离要辛苦很多。

The team members all know that those who can resolutely turn to the long-distance main event and swim well are those with great perseverance.After all, there is still a fundamental gap between 100 meters for life and 400 meters for life.

The competition in the arena has just started, and at a glance, everyone's strength is very even at the rolling white waves.

After 25 meters, the players of the First Legion finally stood out!

They are the Tunisian player Meloli in the fourth course, the Chinese player Liu Lang in the fifth course, the Korean player Jin Xinren in the sixth course, and the Chinese player Wen Hao in the third course.

"What a great start!"

Whether it is the Tunisian anchor, the South Korean commentator, or the Chinese CCTV anchor, they all speak like this.

At the beginning of 40 meters, the Tunisian anchor shouted happily: "Oh! I saw it, Melori is in the first place, he is in the first place! He will turn around first in the first 50 meters!"

However, after turning around, it was the Korean commentator's turn to exclaim: "It's Kim Shin-in! It's our country's Kim Shin-in! The exciting moment has come! He's in the leading position!"

The anchor of my country Central Television said very calmly: "Two players from our country are in the first team, namely Liu Lang from the fifth team and Wen Hao from the third team. The gap between them and Jin Xinren, who is temporarily leading, is very small. Just bite, maintain their tactics, and make a more effective impact!"

But God knows, how can the players who compete in the swimming pool have any tactics at all?This is the final of the World Championships!If you don't go all out, how can you strive for the top and win the gold medal?

Wen Hao is very calm at this time. Although his body is exhausted to the extreme, his brain is very clear. He pays attention to every movement of his own, ensuring the integrity of every movement, and does not try to go too fast. The point is All are placed on each effective stroke.

Wen Hao is not very clear about how many competitions he will be able to participate in after this competition, just like he feels that he may not be selected for the 2012 London Olympics. Every recent competition has a sense of fear, it is the passage of time, is it Time flowed through the fingers like fine sand, and a sense of fear that could not be grasped emerged.

To be honest, he still wants to stay on the field. Of course, after tasting the success, he really wants to stay for a few more years until he can no longer compete.

However, he is different from those young athletes. They are allowed to fail and can adjust to rematch, but he can't. Once he loses in a certain field, it means that he will be punished more severely It is necessary to give way to those younger players.

As a veteran, this is indeed a kind of helpless grief... But on the other hand, it is also a kind of squeeze-like motivation!

The battlefield of the World Championships, he has never been so confident since the year he won the silver medal five years ago. Last year's Dubai World Championships can be said to be a failed game, with the kind of unspeakable loss , After a year of hard training, he stood up again.

Wen Hao stared at the transparent bottom like tens of thousands of pieces of glass in front of him, and swam forward with both hands and feet. Although his body was still exhausted, he was still a little proud in his heart... He experienced ups and downs, and after several twists and turns, he finally stood up again. Back to the World Series!

Will it succeed this time?

This time, we must succeed!

When the race reached 200 meters, Kim Shin-in of South Korea was always in the lead, and the South Korean anchors were screaming wildly, because Kim Shin-in swam his best time at 200 meters and broke the world record with 0.20 seconds when he turned around , has been in the leading position.

In the eyes of the South Korean anchors, the gold medal seemed to be in their pockets. They broadcasted at a very fast speed: "Jin Xinren traveled very steadily and has always been in the leading position! After 200 meters, Liu Lang is in the No. .2, it seems that his swimming lane has given him a great advantage. He has been biting our country's Jin Xinren tightly, but the gap is half a body. It is too difficult to catch up! Jin Xinren! Hold on! The champion is you !!"

"It's 250 meters... Oh... The first one to swim is still Jin Xinren from our country!! Faster than Liu Lang, 0.14 seconds!!"

"Swimming out, it seems that the players are starting to speed up gradually!"

"Melori is dead, he's dead, he's too far behind."

"I saw it, the Chinese player Wen Hao from Sandao is catching up! But he can't surpass Jin Xinren, at most he can surpass his teammate Liu Lang. Our Jin Xinren doesn't need to worry about Wen Hao."

"Liu Lang is also accelerating, the distance seems to be a little closer, but our Jin Xinren is also faster!"

"The last 100 meters!"

"Turn around!!"

"Turn around... Let's see who is faster... It's our Jin Xinren!! Jin Xinren is faster!!"

"2 minutes 46 seconds 46!! Faster than the world record by 0.5 seconds!"

"Our Jin Xinren beat the world record by 0.5 seconds!!!!"

"This is the sprint stage! The last and most critical moment has come! Our Jin Xinren, come on!!"

"The last 75 meters!"

"China's Wen Hao and Liu Lang are catching up!"

"The last 350 meters!! There are only 50 meters left!!"

"Shhhhh..."

Wen Hao felt like his soul and body had been separated!

Too tired, excessive fatigue caused his brain to constantly send out dangerous signals, and his body didn't seem to feel slowed down or dulled!

He is afraid of this, once the exhaustion of the body reaches the peak, it will definitely slow down.However, what he is most afraid of now is to slow down even by 0.01 second!

Swimming competition, the difference between minutes and seconds, missed the championship, this kind of frustration I don't want to taste again!Never want to taste it again!Need power, need more power!Even if you die here!Grit your teeth and stick to it! !

Wen Hao! !You hold on to me! !

Ye Shuwen and You Le held their breaths, their eyes widened, and at the same time they shouted in their hearts, Wen Hao, keep going! !Persevere! !

"Shhhh-"

so tired...

But, don't let up, never let up...

Wen Hao, come on...

"Crack" a crisp sound.

As if something was cracked, time suddenly slowed down, and the pain in his body seemed to be pulled away. At that moment, Wen Hao suddenly felt a sense of mistyness like falling into the clouds...

It turned out to be comfortable.

The South Korean commentator was so excited that he yelled: "Jin Xinren turned around at 350 meters and is still in the lead!! He is 0.03 seconds faster than Wenhao and faster than Liu Lang It took 0.05 seconds!!"

"Ah... Wen Hao seems to be catching up, it seems to be a little faster!"

"Our Jin Xinren, come on! The last chance! Hurry up!!"

"I hope Jin Xinren can take the first place!"

"The last 25 meters."

"25 meters!"

"Jin Xinren, come on!"

"The current record is... ah!!! Wen Hao is in the front, leading by a lot!! The last five meters are here!! Ah..."

"Wen Hao's first destination..."

"Ahhh!" You Le sprang up, hugged Yuan Zheng who was also excited, and roared loudly, happier than he won the championship.

You Mingjie gave a thumbs up in Wen Hao's direction.

Wen Hao stared blankly at the scoreboard, pulled off his swimming goggles, and waited until he confirmed and then confirmed again. Suddenly, he stepped on the red water line, waved his arms, and shouted loudly: "Ahahahahaha!! Ahhh Ahhhhh!!!"

Ye Shuwen raised his head, covered his face, and couldn't help but want to cry...

The author has something to say: What's inside...

I believe that the Chinese or sister papers who watch swimming should know who Kim Shin-in is in Korea...

I'd better keep a low profile and use a pseudonym for the matches that happened in reality... After all, as soon as he comes out, people will ask me where Sun Yang is, right?Hmm... Obviously, Sun Mengmeng was dropped by the river crab because of the pig's feet.
