After a summer vacation, a classmate became an Olympic champion?

Chapter 62 The final battle! Chen Shu's butterfly stroke strength!

Late at night, the Chinese swimming team in the Olympic Village.

Temporary meeting room.

There are still two days before the swimming season ends.

So far, the Chinese swimming team ranks first among all swimming teams with 6 gold, 2 silver and 5 bronze medals; Australia ranks second with 5 gold, 8 silver and 3 bronze medals; the United States ranks third with 3 gold, 13 silver and 7 bronze medals, the most medals among all countries!

So the next two days will be the most crucial battles.

Will the Chinese team have the last laugh and rise strongly as a dark horse, or will the American team turn the tide and still maintain its position as the dominant swimming team, or will Australia fight back and reach the top with an absolute advantage?

This is a major event that all media around the world are paying close attention to.

And now, the entire swimming event still has the last 8 gold medals left to be decided.

Five of these events will be the biggest gold medal opportunities for the United States, especially the 800m women's freestyle and the 1500m men's long-distance freestyle, which have always been dominated by the US team; no one can shake the women's freestyle, and Ledecky has an absolute dominance in this event.

She has never lost and has won nine gold medals, becoming the undisputed world long-distance queen.

And without Sun Yang in the 1500m men's freestyle, it would be the world of the Americans and Australians, especially the Americans.

Originally, Sun Yang had a 90% chance of winning this event, because the Olympic record is still created by him.

So it is hard to say what the final result will be. The US team still has a great probability of returning to the top of the swimming world; even if Australia wins another gold medal, it can also defeat China.

Because China's gold medal events are almost gone in the eyes of the outside world.

Unless the three major relays can win a few gold medals!

Otherwise, China will eventually face the situation of being defeated by the two major swimming powers.

"Although the United States is now ranked third!"

"But the remaining 8 gold medals, women's 800m freestyle and men's 1500m freestyle, are most likely theirs!"

"So we must add these two gold medals!"

"And the women's 50m freestyle, Sjöström has been the champion of this event in recent years, and Yu Fei is slightly inferior in absolute strength!"

Cui Dengrong and team leaders Huang Wei and Zhu Zhigen are still meeting overnight.

Although the National Swimming Center and the General Administration have praised the performance of the swimming team this time, they have exceeded the pre-match established tasks.

But if there is a chance to get the first place, Cui Dengrong and others certainly don't want to give up.

Fortunately, Sjöström, the world's number one in women's 50m freestyle, is a Swede.

"Also, there are no American athletes in the men's 100-meter butterfly final, just like us!"

"Matthew Temple from Australia is the weakest in this group, so it is very likely that Milak from Canada and Hungary will win!"

"The last one is the women's 200m individual medley. Yu Yiting has the strength to win a medal, but Canada's McTosh and the United States' Douglas have the possibility of winning gold in this event!"

"We can't let the United States win the gold medal in this event!"

Zhu Zhigen pointed to the 200m women's individual medley, and everyone nodded slightly: "Yes, so as for Yu Yiting, Director Zheng, you should explain it to her tomorrow!"

"Okay!"

Zheng Kunliang took note.

"If the 5 gold medals above are as we analyzed, the United States should have 5 gold medals and Australia should also have 5!"

"So the decisive game is still on the three major relays!"

Huang Wei looked at Cui Dengrong and the others, and no one refuted.

The game was indeed very tense until today.

Of course, China had no qualifications to challenge the United States and Australia before, but this year, relying on Pan Zhanle and Chen Shu, the Chinese swimming team managed to surpass the other countries in gold medals.

Even Pan Zhanle and Chen Shu have won three gold medals in swimming.

"For these three relays, the female mixed team is far behind Australia and the United States, and the male mixed team depends on Qin Haiyang. How is his condition recovering?"

Huang Wei asked Cui Dengrong, and Cui Dengrong frowned: "The fever just subsided yesterday, and I feel a little weak. It's hard to say before tomorrow night. It depends on the child himself. In terms of mentality, he should have adjusted. He soaked in the swimming pool for most of the night!"

"In fact, I am not worried about Haiyang. After all, his strength is there. If he plays breaststroke at full strength, he will be about 1 second faster than the United States and Australia!"

"Even if he is not in good condition, let him swim together, he can still make a breakthrough!"

"The mixed men and women should be the most stable one among the three relays in my class; the men's mixed team is the key!"

Cui Dengrong held the mobile phone, which was the chat record he had just had with his disciple Wang Changhao, the men's 100-plate player.

"The men's mixed event was originally the most likely to win gold. Haiyang, Zhanle and Jiayu were all world No. 1s. Wang Changhao could also hold his own, but he tried the water today and was not in good condition. Sun Jiajun might have to play!"

"Can Jiajun hold on for two games? Especially in the finals!"

"It would be better if someone shared the preliminaries. If there is only one final, Jiajun can probably hold on!"

"Yes, I think so too, but there are no other butterfly swimmers in the team!"

Only Wang Changhao and Sun Jiajun qualified for the men's 100 butterfly.

Other athletes who can swim the men's 100 butterfly are 2-3 seconds slower than Sun Jiajun. The butterfly stroke is different from the freestyle. The freestyle is a project that many swimmers have learned since childhood and is the basis of all swimming styles.

Butterfly stroke requires arm and leg frequency. If you don't practice it often, the gap between you and the top players is really outrageous.

This is also the reason why the US team does not have any good butterfly swimmers now. They are also short of talent in this area.

“It's okay if Jiajun performs normally in the preliminaries, the main thing is the finals!"

Zhu Zhigen has read the chat records between Cui Dengrong and Wang Changhao. He hopes to rush to the preliminaries with his illness, and then leave the finals to Sun Jiajun!

But this is too risky.

If Wang Changhao makes a mistake and doesn't make it to the finals, no one can take the responsibility.

"2 seconds!"

"A gap of 2 seconds is worth a try!"

"Tomorrow morning I will test the other butterfly swimmers. If they are no more than 2 seconds behind Sun Jiajun and Wang Changhao, they can take the place in the preliminaries and get the finals first! ”

Cui Dengrong calculated for a long time and finally came to a conclusion.

He is a professional in this area, and Zhu Zhigen and others also know it.

With Pan, Qin and Xu, if they perform normally, other countries will have no chance, and some countries will open up a gap of at least 2 seconds.

And according to the competitions in previous years and this year, Australia and the United States are likely to use substitute players.

This will not only win more gold medals, but also save energy.

So this is the opportunity Cui Dengrong said.

"Let Wang Changhao have a good rest!"

"Let's find another one in our team to take over! ”

Finally, several coaches and team leaders finally discussed the result. The main reason was that the men's 100-meter medley was too crucial to the final victory.

If they lost, the US team would win the gold medal.

If they won, the US would lose one gold medal and China would gain one. In this way, the US would definitely lead the rankings.

"That's it!"

"Director Cui, Haiyang should not go. Let him have a good rest tonight. Ask him about his situation tomorrow morning!"

"Adjust and allocate at any time! ”

As Huang Wei said this, several people stood up and walked towards various dormitories.

Many viewers in China obviously didn’t know that the swimming team was still worried about the final gold medal that night; the competition was like this, it was impossible to go smoothly, and there were unexpected accidents at any time, and this time the swimming team had many twists and turns, and their luck was indeed a little worse.

But the only thing to be thankful for is that almost all the medals that should be won were won, except for Qin Haiyang’s one in the men’s 100-meter breaststroke.

However, there were two big surprises, the rise of Pan Zhanle and the strong rise of Chen Shu.

These two people are the biggest "breathing bucket" of the Chinese swimming team in this Paris Olympics; without them, this year's Paris would really be in jeopardy.

"This kid, won't give me another surprise tomorrow morning? ”

After returning to the dormitory, Cui Dengrong suddenly thought of Chen Shu who was still practicing in the evening, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, but he didn't think much about it and quickly suppressed it.

After all, this kind of thing is too mysterious and unreliable, it is better to think more about Qin Haiyang being able to restore his condition and physical strength.

This guy beforeCui Dengrong was scared to death after days of vomiting and diarrhea.

In addition to the positive test, he actually had more of a stress response from the competition, which he could only overcome by himself!

…

The next morning, the second last day of the swimming competition.

Chen Shu slept until he woke up naturally.

Last night, he actually swam a few laps and went ashore to go back to the dormitory to sleep. He picked up his phone and checked the time. It was exactly 7:30. (To read a thrilling novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

The domestic media has obviously exploded about Chen Shu's 20-second championship yesterday.

"Leading the pack! Brother Chen Shu won the fourth individual gold medal of this year's event!"

"The first time in human history that a 50-meter freestyle swim was completed in less than 20 seconds!"

"19.88 seconds, a magical record comparable to Bolt's on land!"

"Another world record has been broken! Brother Chen Shu is going crazy! 》[]

《Who else? 50-meter sprint leads the second place by more than one body length! 》

……

Compared to the 200-meter relay that let the team win 7-1, there are even more hot searches; after all, that was a relay race, while this time it was Chen Shu's individual event, and he broke the world record so much, so the domestic media must make a big fuss about it.

Originally, many people felt that Pan Zhanle was already strong enough, but they didn't expect that there would be another Chen Shu.

The popularity of the swimming team seemed to be welded on the hot search, and it has not come down for many days, and it is still rolling with new news materials dug out every day.

There are interviews with Chen Shu's grandfather, interesting things in his childhood, Chen Shu in the eyes of his classmates, and the god of war on the Internet... Anyway, many of Chen Shu's past and external information have been turned out one by one, and almost every one of them has been on the hot search.

They almost always use different methods to increase and decrease the popularity again and again.

As long as the word "Chen Shu" is included, it will be traffic.

There are hundreds of entries, but when you open them, they always have the word "Chen Shu".

But netizens just love to watch.

They look for new materials about Chen Shu over and over again, and never get tired of it.

In addition, Chen Shu's mother Su Wan has also received countless calls from brands during this period, wanting to sign Chen Shu as an endorsement in advance; fortunately, Chen Shu is competing, and Su Wan rejected these brands' calls one by one on the grounds of the competition.

To be honest, Chen Shu admires his mother for this.

Absolutely sober.

But in fact, the swimming center will have a corresponding department to handle this matter.

But because no one thought that Chen Shu would win the championship and become so popular before the game, they didn't even have any emergency plans.

Don’t even talk to him about signing a profit-sharing contract with Chen Shu for brand endorsements like other athletes.

After all, even Cui Dengrong didn’t think Chen Shu could win the championship at first, let alone others? !

But now the swimming center reacted, obviously a little too late.

Everything really had to wait until Chen Shu finished the game before it could be dealt with.something.

The competition transcends everything and cannot affect the athlete's state.

So the outside world is in chaos, but Chen Shu is very calm in the Olympics.

The news in China is all about him, and the foreign network is actually the same.

And there are fewer people questioning his drug use. Under the tk account that just broke through 1 million fans, there are also a group of netizens who admire and flatter him. Many of them are joke makers. Chen Shu can't stop brushing.

Who said that foreigners don't like gold medals and don't worship strong people? Chen Shu is now the most popular Chinese athlete on the foreign network.

The God of Skateboarding, plus the God of 50 meters, skateboarding enthusiasts and swimming enthusiasts have already been fans.

In addition to the previous waves of strong output, a lot of traffic has been attracted to China through VPNs, and there are also athletes abroad who like this kind of hard-core.

More than 1 million fans, just accumulated in these few days.

After breakfast, Chen Shu walked towards the training ground.

The four games at noon will start at 11:00 Paris time.

In addition to the women's 50m freestyle and the men's 1500m freestyle, there are two relay preliminaries; one for men's mixed and one for women's mixed. The preliminaries for men's and women's mixed have already been played, and the finals will be held in the evening.

And tomorrow's last 503 days will be the finals of the two mixed relays.

Squeak!

Chen Shu changed into his swimsuit and was warming up and stretching his body.

Soon, Cui Dengrong, Zhu Zhigen and several coaches came, as well as the team leader Huang Wei.

The key point is that Pan Zhanle and Wang Shun got the news and came to the training ground; Chen Shu was shocked when he saw this.

Good guy, are you here to watch the show?

But he didn't say anything, how did these people know?

Chen Shu glanced at Cui Dengrong. Zhang Zhanshuo was already trying to take credit: "I told you, this guy sneaked out alone, it's not good!"

"..."

Damn, I was careless and didn't dodge.

Chen Shu thought Cui Dengrong said that, and then a group of people came to put some pressure on him.

"Brother Shu, you have finished all the competitions, why are you still in the training hall?"

Wang Shun asked, Chen Shu's name has been used for a while, and no one wants to change it; and Chen Shu's level of four golds is here, no one dares to call him Xiao Chen or Xiao Shu, the name of Brother Shu sounds quite friendly.

After all, he is Xiaohaige.

"Don't tell me that you are already preparing for the National Games!"

Pan Zhanle joked.

After the Paris Olympics, the next big competition is the Chinese National Games, which is a competition that every domestic athlete will participate in.

And this National Games is also of extraordinary significance. It is held in Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao, jointly organized by Hong Kong, Macao and Guangdong Province.

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed.

Of course this is impossible.

Unless the loser is ready in advance,In preparation for the next competition, Chen Shu won 4 gold medals. Everyone would enjoy it. How could he keep training hard? No matter how hard Zhang Yufei fought in the swimming team, she would not do this. Chen Shu was obviously not such a person.

So there is only one possibility, this guy has not given up, and he should still want to compete in some competition.

But the point that everyone does not understand is here. There is obviously no competition for Chen Shu to participate in; he can be a substitute in the 100m mixed relay, but Pan Zhanle has no competition to compete. In his current state, he can obviously play in the preliminaries and finals.

And he and Xu Jiayu are the two who must play, because they must ensure promotion and results.

So, it is almost impossible for Chen Shu to be a substitute.

"Okay, don't make trouble, hurry up, Chen Shu, swim for me!"

"Go all out, if the results are good, we will test again in the afternoon!"

This is the safest way.

Cui Dengrong's idea is very simple. If Chen Shu is not good enough, then we will follow the original plan. If he is, then Sun Jiajun will take over in the preliminaries, and Chen Shu will be the starting lineup in tomorrow's finals.

This is the safest way. After all, Chen Shu sprinted in the morning and lacked strength at noon.

It is best to test it several times, see the possibility in the morning, see the stability in the afternoon, and arrange the official lineup tomorrow.

This is the best plan.

"Okay, Coach Cui!"

Chen Shu took a deep breath and stood in front of the starting platform. .
