Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 723 The end of a magical era
7月29日一早，国际泳联执委会启动了正式的投票程序，最终以12票赞成、2票反对的结果通过了这项决议。从明年的1月1日开始，高科技泳衣就将正式的退出历史舞台了。

This also marks the end of a magical era in international swimming that has lasted for several years starting next year.Especially in the past two years, the new high-tech one-piece swimsuits of Speedo Company and Arena Company have been launched in turn, which not only makes the total number of world records refreshed in the international swimming world in the past two years far exceed the sum of the past 10 years, It has pushed many world records to an unattainable height.

Although there have also appeared peerless masters like Guo Zizhao, who can swim with unmatched results by refusing to wear any high-tech swimsuits, but there is only one Guo Zizhao in this world.For most athletes, it will be extremely difficult to break these world records again after next year!
Of course, in the face of this situation, many people have suggested whether it is possible to abolish the world records set by these athletes wearing high-tech swimsuits, or put special marks on these records, and then re-establish a new one without high-tech swimsuits. world record.In this way, it can also treat the later athletes fairly, or play a certain role in motivating them.

However, FINA rejected such a proposal.Because, except for athletes like Guo Zizhao who are clearly opposed to high-tech swimsuits, for these previous world records, it is impossible to check which athletes wore high-tech swimsuits and which athletes did not wear high-tech swimsuits.

If we treat their world records differently now, it would be very unfair to the previous athletes.Besides, wearing high-tech swimsuits in competitions was allowed by FINA before. Now if they are marked separately, wouldn't it be a slap in FINA's own face?
As for whether these amazing world records will be broken again in the future after high-tech swimsuits are banned, the spokesperson of FINA also vowed, "I believe that as the international swimming community With the continuous improvement of training level and technical level, breaking these world records is not out of reach! As we all know, Mr. Guo Zizhao has never worn any high-tech swimsuit, hasn’t he also set 3 top world records? ?”

……

Of course, everyone scoffed at the words of the FINA spokesperson.

Your sister... you actually compare Guo Zizhao with other people. How is this comparable?With Guo Zizhao's strength, does it matter to him whether others wear high-tech swimsuits or not?

Fortunately, Guo Zizhao will retire next year.Otherwise, with Guo Zizhao's strength, wouldn't it be even more horrible to abuse these players who don't wear high-tech swimsuits!

Most people still agree with this resolution of FINA.However, because the time when this resolution was passed was a bit too sensitive, many people made malicious speculations.

Your sister, Phelps just lost to Biederman yesterday, and he publicly expressed his dissatisfaction and made some threatening remarks in front of the media. Why did FINA immediately announce a formal decision!This is simply a shattering of moral integrity!If you say there is no connection between the two, who will believe it...

Of course, FINA also has unspeakable difficulties with this choice!

No way, the pressure from the two international sports giants, Nike and Adidas, is too great!Plus, Biederman, the outspoken guy, was too high-profile this time, pushing high-tech swimsuits and himself to the forefront.

Guo Zizhao will retire next year. Without Guo Zizhao's participation, and once high-tech swimsuits are banned next year, the performance of the entire international swimming world will definitely suffer a big decline.If Phelps makes another move to strike at this time, his influence on the international swimming world will be greatly reduced!
So, now that you’ve decided to ban high-tech swimsuits, you might as well feel free to do it.Taking advantage of the current hype surrounding this incident, FINA immediately made this decision to avoid any trouble in the future!
Of course, this can also appease Phelps's mood. After all, after Guo Zizhao retires, the top stars in the international swimming world will still have to watch Phelps!
……

Although the release of this official resolution by the FINA also caused a huge sensation in the major media, for Guo Zizhao, none of these had any impact on him.

However, in an interview with media reporters before today's competition, Guo Zizhao gave a few words of praise, "Obviously, FINA made a correct decision this time. This chaotic situation can finally be ended. Now, let the swimming event return to its original path!"

"Although in the next period of time, the results of the international swimming world may not be as dazzling and dazzling as they are now, I believe that as people focus more on training and the improvement of swimming techniques, After that, the international swimming world will once again usher in a new development! Just like me now, even without wearing any high-tech swimsuit, I can still set new world records one after another!"

Guo Zizhao naturally did what he said. In the men's 100-meter freestyle preliminaries that followed, Guo Zizhao swam a time of 47 seconds just by using the "shocking leap" skill according to his own habits.

And this result also easily ranked third in the preliminaries, and successfully entered the semi-finals of the night.The American star Walters temporarily ranked first with 47 seconds, and the Frenchman Bernard came in second with 59 seconds.

Another Chinese player, Chen Zha, was also lucky enough to reach the semifinals again, with a time of 48 seconds.Although Chen Zha's performance has improved slightly compared to last year, Guo Zizhao estimates that with Chen Zha's age and talent, this performance has basically come to an end.

等到了晚上半决赛的时候，郭子昭这次可是“惊天一跃”和“华丽转身”两个技能齐出，以47秒21的成绩强势的登上了半决赛第一的位置。法国选手贝尔纳和巴西选手小西埃洛，分别以47秒27和47秒48的成绩排在了总成绩的第二和第三位。

The overall results of this semi-final were just as terrifying as last year's Beijing Olympics. Without a score within 48 seconds, you wouldn't even be able to make it to the finals!The Italian star Magnini, who had been famous for a while in the past few years, only swam a time of 48 seconds this time, and could only miss the final.As for Chen Zha, another player of the Chinese team, it is even worse!

However, after the semi-final, head coach Yao Zhengli had no time to comfort his disciple, because the men's 800-meter freestyle final was about to begin soon.Zhang Lin, another leader of the Chinese team in the men's swimming event, is about to make her debut and once again launch an attack on the gold medal!
在本届罗马世锦赛上，张琳也是一共参加了男子400米、800米和1500米自由泳三个项目的比赛，其中在400米和800米项目上的夺金希望也是最大的。

Unfortunately, in the men's 3-meter final three days ago, Zhang Lin lost to Biedelman. To be precise, she lost to Biedelman's high-tech swimsuit.According to Bidelman's personal admission after the game, the new swimsuit improved his time in the 400-meter event by nearly 400 seconds, and his winning time in the final was only less than 3 seconds faster than Zhang Lin. Only seconds.

So... all of these are crimes other than war!

And this time, Zhang Lin also fought her back in the men's 800-meter freestyle final.If he misses again this time, the popularity and qualifications that Zhang Lin accumulated from winning the Beijing Olympic Games last year will probably be lost...
