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

Chapter 97 "Is this still a human being?"

Pan Zhanle's battle actually symbolizes the alternation of the old and new freestyle kings!

He definitely wants to step on Dressel.

But little did he know that Chen Shu also wanted to be the king of freestyle.

Moreover, he has more advantages than Pan Zhanle in the 50m freestyle event.

So this battle must be his.

"But let Team Pan try the water first..."

After all, Dressel is the current world record holder for this event, and Chen Shu definitely wants to know more about this opponent.

What if he breaks the world record of 20.16 seconds and breaks it within 20 seconds? This is undoubtedly a huge threat to Chen Shu.

But now, he is looking at his opponent in this group. Dressel is destined to meet him in the finals. If he doesn't beat Pan Zhanle, then... he is not worthy of being Chen Shu's opponent.

First, he had to defeat Pan Zhanle before he could get in front of him.

Sure enough, he unexpectedly found a few familiar faces in Chen Shu's group!

Chalmers?

Isn't this Pan Zhanle's competitor?

However, Chalmers' 50m freestyle is average, and 100m freestyle is his strongest point.

The current world record of 100m freestyle in short pool is also held by him, which is 44 87, which is about 3 seconds faster than his 100m freestyle in long pool. It must be said that underwater turning in short pool is a big advantage for European and American athletes.

Among so many short pool world records, only 3 were created by Asians.

One is the 400m individual medley, Japan's Seto Daiya, and the other is Li Bingjie's 400m freestyle and He Shibei's 200m freestyle!

The other 30 items are all monopolized by Europe, America and Australia.

In addition to Chalmers, there are several 50m freestyle finalists in the Paris Olympics. They are also strong, but Chen Shu didn't take them seriously.

How can you talk about courage when you are defeated?

He might be afraid of the rookie, but it is obviously impossible to improve by more than 1 second in such a short time.

Beep——

Soon, the second group's competition officially began.

Pan Zhanle's start and future are obviously good, maintaining his strength in the long pool 100m freestyle, but after turning around, Dressel completely established his leading advantage.

20.24 seconds

Dressel's state is still bursting, and he was not affected by the 100m butterfly an hour ago.

He easily won the first place in the group, while Pan Zhanle was the third in the group, swimming 21.20 seconds!

This result has refreshed his personal best in the short pool 50m freestyle! 27 But obviously there is still a gap.

If nothing unexpected happens, Pan Zhanle will not be able to enter the finals in the afternoon.

The strength of the finalists is within 21 seconds, and the gap between the second and the eighth will not exceed 0.5 seconds!

"Brother Shu, it depends on you!"

"WinThis is a damn competition!"

"Yes, win it hard!"

"Show Europe, America and Australia a warning!"

Chen Juner and others said in Chen Shu's ear, Chen Shu smiled and made an OK gesture.

Men's 50m freestyle, at present, only he can carry this sign.

Chen Shu walked into the player channel with a crowd of people watching him. In fact, they were quite confident in him; after all, they knew Chen Shu's 50m freestyle short pool results very well, and he had swum within 20 seconds several times during training.

Unlike butterfly stroke, Chen Shu had not tested his skills, so even Cui Dengrong didn't know that Chen Shu's butterfly stroke could swim so fast.

There is still a big difference between turning on skills and not turning them on, and swimming at full strength and training.

"Hi, en"

In the player channel, Australia's Chalmers took the initiative to wave at Chen Shu Phew.

Perhaps Pan Zhanle had reported too much during the Paris Olympics. Chalmers had recently apologized to Pan Zhanle on the social media platform. The two of them are actually on good terms now. They follow each other privately and send private messages.

He must have been completely defeated by Pan Zhanle.

This guy even proudly said in a public interview with the media that he was the only one who saw the splashes of water from Pan Zhanle's legs in the final of the men's 100m freestyle at the Paris Olympics.

He said that other people wanted to drink Pan Zhanle's foot washing water but couldn't.

Chen Shu was so amused when he saw it. This guy really knows how to laugh at himself, and his attitude of admitting mistakes can be described as the speed of light.

However, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, Chen Shu also smiled slightly at Chalmers: "Hello, Kyle! ”

The two were chatting in the player channel, and soon the notice to leave the game sounded.

Chen Shu immediately walked out and came to the fifth lane. Chalmers was in the first lane. He really had no competitiveness in this event; his teammate, Chen Shu's opponent in the 50m freestyle in the Paris Olympics, McEvoy was the strongest in this event in Australia.

This guy was in the eighth group, and Wang Haoyu was very unfortunate to meet him. According to Cui Dengrong's pre-match analysis, if Dressel's condition did not recover, then the biggest threat to the 50m freestyle event would be McEvoy.

This guy was messed up by Chen Shu in the Paris Olympics, and he didn't even qualify for the semifinals. This time he must have come with the anger of revenge.

Chen Shu must have paid the most attention to him.

……

"What we are about to see next is the preliminaries of the fourth group of the men's 50m freestyle in this Shanghai Swimming World Cup!"

"Chen Shu appeared in the fifth lane! ”

“He is the world record holder for this event in the long pool. His score of 19.88 seconds is still a world record even in the short pool!”

“So as long as he performs normally, Chen Shu should have no problem advancing!”

CCTV host Niu Yinhao said.

Unlike all the swimmers who were fully focused in the 100-meter butterfly,In this 50m freestyle preliminaries of Chen Shu, everyone seemed much more relaxed.

Until the starting gun sounded, everyone looked at the TV.

Cui Dengrong also stood there with his hands crossed. Chen Shu in his sight was the first to fall into the water.

0.31 seconds!

Still as steady as an old dog's reaction time to enter the water.

Cui Dengrong: "..."

Now if he still doubts Chen Shu's gun pressure jump, then it is obviously unreasonable.

Which smart guy can avoid fouls every time he presses the gun?

This is clearly a self-created technique!

Just like Sun Yang's long-distance "deep hug and shallow push" back then, he was the only one in the world who knew this swimming style at the beginning, and it was also invented by Sun Yang himself. After the Chinese Swimming Team promoted it, freestyle swimming gave birth to Pan Zhanle and Wang Haoyu, a wave of outstanding freestyle swimmers.

His same-side breathing was almost banned by the International Swimming Federation.

Fink, the current long-distance world record holder from the United States, once said in an interview that he watched Sun Yang's competition videos hundreds of times, learning from him frame by frame, and finally mastered Sun's swimming style and became the current long-distance champion.

A careful audience can actually see that Fink's long-distance swimming style is basically a replica of Sun Yang.

This is something that every freestyle swimmer knows.

"This guy just broke the world record. I forgot to ask him about this trick!"

Shi Mingbo was laughing on the side. Wang Shun and others who were watching the game were obviously paying attention to it: "How did Brother Shu practice his water entry reaction?"

"I didn't notice it before. It seems that he has pressed the gun to the limit several times!"

"Fuck, don't tell me, I also observed it!"

"Several times, 0.2, 0.3..."

"This water entry reaction is too amazing!"

"No, I must ask him for advice later!"

A group of swimmers were there As they were discussing, Niu Yinhao's commentary was clearly heard by everyone: "0.31 seconds, Chen Shu's reaction time when entering the water is really amazing!"

"He was the first to enter the water, 0.23 seconds faster than Chalmers, who was in second place!"

"As expected of the world record holder in this event, Chen Shu took the absolute lead after he came out of the water!"

"Completely different from his 100-meter butterfly just now!"

"The distance is still gradually widening!"

At 25 meters to the edge, Chen Shu was already half a body length ahead of the second-place French player.

Yes, 25 meters, half a body length.

Then, Chen Shu quickly completed the underwater turn, and this time Cui Dengrong saw it very clearly.

Chen Shu's turning over was undoubtedly much more flexible than the butterfly stroke, which was a bit like an illusion, but Cui Dengrong's 20 years of experience in swimming coaching made him very confident that Chen Shu's underwater turning this time was completed very smoothly.

It was smoother and more natural than any other time he trained and competed.

Hualala! (To read the most exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Chen Shu has already started to turn back, while the other players in the lane are still within 25 meters.

So all the audience in the audience, in front of the TV and mobile phones, saw an extremely classic scene - 50 meters short pool, 25 meters short distance, Chen Shu has turned around, while the other seven players are still trying to reach the edge!

Another world famous painting that can be frozen at will.

To be honest, such an outrageous scene is completely impossible to happen in a short-distance competition, especially in a short pool.

In general group matches, almost every player turns underwater at the same time, and the difference is at most a few tenths of a second, which is already a terrifying score difference. After all, the strength of swimmers varies, but the difference is not too much, just a few tenths of a second. []

In the first 25 meters, even many players are of similar strength, and they are all competing head-to-head. It is not until the final sprint that a slight difference is made.

It was difficult to capture or take a screenshot of the bizarre scene of one player turning back while the other players had not yet reached the edge in a few tenths of a second.

But now, in Chen Shu's group match, it happened "in full view of the public".

Countless reporters and broadcasters at the scene captured this scene.

After Chen Shu turned around and rushed forward for a few meters, the second player completed the underwater turn, and then the third, the fourth... But Chen Shu had already opened up a full, 4 distance from them.

Even if they tried their best to catch up, they were still more than a body behind.

"This is the dominance of the world's No. 1 in this event!"

"A complete gap-like lead!"

"The second-place player couldn't even touch the waves of Chen Shu's legs!"

"Of course, this is just a group match, and there are differences in strength!"

"We should cheer now--"

"Oh oh oh, the world record line has jumped out again!"

"Oh my god..."

Niu Yinhao suddenly looked at the WR world record line that jumped out on the TV, and it was actually far behind Chen Shu.

Niu Yinhao thought he was dazzled, and he rubbed his eyes.

That's right, the world record line was far behind Chen Shu, more than 1 meter away from him.

More than 1 meter!

Such a situation actually happened in a 50-meter freestyle preliminaries.

You know, the last time someone surpassed the world record line so far was probably Sun Yang; but Sun Yang's was 1500 meters, a long distance, and he was 5 or 6 meters ahead, but now it's Chen Shu's 50-meter short distance!

It's only 50 meters, and the world record has been pulled so far.

"..."

Niu Yinhao's brain was a little blank for a while.

Is this... is this really the world record line?

Why is it left far behind Chen Shu? What an outrageous and exaggerated distance is this?

"This guy is going to break the world record!"

Cui Dengrong was smiling. Although he knew that Chen Shu's 50m freestyle was strong enough to break the world record, he still felt it was incredible that he had pushed the world record of the short-course 50m freestyle so far forward.

"..."

Niu Yinhao watched Chen Shu marching towards the 50m line at the finish line with a swift and clear attitude, and finally shouted again: "The first place in the fourth group of the men's 50m freestyle is——"

"Chen Shu!!"

"He broke another world record!"

"The world record for the men's 50m freestyle in the 25m short course!"

Snap!

The next second, Chen Shu's hand touched the 50m shore.

The world record line that had never retreated was more than 2 meters away from Chen Shu at this time.

As for the second-place French player in the group, let alone, he was pulled 4-5 meters behind Chen Shu, which was the length of two people.

The faces of the coaches from all countries who were watching the game were extremely dull.

Everyone stared at Chen Shu coming out of the water in amazement. After a slight breath, the line that symbolized the world record passed over him at this time; and the second-place French player had not reached the edge at this time!

He was about 3 meters away from the finish line.

It was such an outrageous gap. In a competition of only 50 meters, Chen Shu was about 5 meters faster than them.

A total of 50 meters, 5 meters faster?

Many coaches were completely unbelievable.

But they all raised their heads at the same time and watched the final score sheet pop up.

Not only them, but also the audiences around the world who watched this game actually wanted to know what kind of outrageous world record Chen Shu had set.

The 19.88 seconds in the 50m freestyle at the Paris Olympics had already caused a global sensation.

But the visual difference caused was still not as shocking as the current short-course 50m freestyle.

At that time, Chen Shu's 19.88 seconds was only more than 2 meters ahead of the second-place player Benjamin Proud?

Now, it's 5 meters!

Although it was just a group match.

"Caleb, your record is going to be broken!"

Dressel's teammate, Armstrong, was also watching this game and said to Dressel who had just finished the game and walked into the backcourt.

Dressel sighed slightly and shook his head: "In this event, Chen is already the absolute king!"

"In terms of explosive power and late sprint, no one in the world can be his opponent!"

Probably, only Chen Shu's opponents know how violent Chen Shu's master-level acceleration + master-level late sprint is!

"It's out!"

When the final 8 players of the fourth group arrived at the edge, the results were also close to more than ten seconds and were displayed on the big screen.

Wow——

The audience was in a collective uproar.

The members of the Chinese swimming team in the backcourt also screamed wildly.

Cui Dengrong shook his head. Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Damn!"

Pan Zhanle's eyes widened and he couldn't help but ask, "Is he still a human being?"

"Is he still a human being?"

19.05 seconds!

A number that no one in the world could believe.

It was 1.11 seconds faster than the 50m freestyle world record of 20.16 seconds set by Dressel at the Budapest Short Course World Championships!

"It's incredible!"

"19.05!!"

"Chen Shu swam a world record of 19.05!"

"It's 1.11 seconds faster than Dressel's 20.16 in the short-course men's 50m freestyle!"

"This is also the second world record set by Chen Shu in this World Cup, and the opponent he broke was the previous champion of these two events, Dressel!"

"The new king of 50m freestyle!"

"Congratulations, Chen"

After Chalmers climbed out of the pool, he extended his hand to Chen Shu who was standing there.

Chen Shu shook his hand.

Chalmers' score was 20.99, a full 1.94 seconds slower than Chen Shu.

This was actually ranked third in the group, while the second French player in the group swam 20.78!

One by one, the players came forward to greet Chen Shu. It was obvious that they had been defeated by Chen Shu.

19.05 seconds?

This is a number that they will never be able to reach in their lifetime! .
