[Competition] The Road to Champion of the Seventh Prince of the Dragon Palace

The athletes of each team have completed the inspection, and more than 30 people crowded every corner of the inspection room.

At a glance, the United States, Australia, and Japan are all acquaintances.

Fan Yuhao was greeting his Russian compatriots again. Ao Ling lowered his head to help He Jiarui stick the number bib, and found that the other person's body was shaking all the time.

Ao Ling asked him suspiciously: "What's the matter with you, are you uncomfortable?"

He Jiarui shook his head: "No, I'm just...so nervous."

"There's nothing to be nervous about, it's just like a normal game."

"Can it be the same? This is the Olympics!"

Ao Ling didn't take it seriously: "What's wrong with the Olympics? After you get into the water, just swim as hard as you can. Keep your mind empty and don't think about anything."

He Jiarui's starting reaction speed is very fast, so he is still the first baton in this relay race.

The pressure on the first and last legs is the greatest, and they happen to be two 18-year-old teenagers who take on this important task.

Fu Xingtu is the oldest among the four, with a stable and mature personality. He was once their coach, so his words naturally carry more weight.

He called Fan Yuhao over, surrounded the four of them, and briefly explained to them: "You two try to hold on to the first two sticks, as long as you don't get too far apart, leave the rest to us."

He turned his head to look at Ao Ling again: "Baby, I will try my best to help you catch up, but the final result depends on your last blow."

I don't know if it was because of the nervousness about the upcoming competition, or because he was too focused on listening to his speech. In short, neither Fan Yuhao nor He Jiarui noticed that Fu Xingtu's name for Ao Ling seemed a bit wrong.

"The task given to us by the coach is to try to get a medal, so don't put too much pressure on it."

If you want to win a medal in the 4×100-meter relay in the Olympic arena where there are many masters, this is already a hell mode.

When they played, the four members of the US team stood there, with their own star aura, each of them had the strength to win the championship in individual events, everyone was full of confidence, as if this gold medal was already in their pocket thing.

The second is the French team. They are the hosts, and they naturally have more confidence in the local battle. When they played, the audience was very lively. This huge cheer alone was enough to deter athletes from other countries.

In addition, Australia, Russia, and Brazil are all traditional strong teams in this event, and all of them have the strength to compete for the championship.

When he came out, Ao Ling suddenly grabbed the hand of Fu Xingtu who was next to him. The latter turned his head, and the two looked at each other.

Fu Xingtu asked him with his eyes: "What's wrong?"

Ao Ling twitched the corner of her mouth: "I really think about it and I'm a little nervous."

Fu Xingtu took his hand into his palm: "Don't be afraid."

His simple two words instantly calmed down Ao Ling's beating heart.

After the introduction of the athletes on the field, everyone began to take off their clothes and make final preparations.

Fu Xingtu was still talking to He Jiarui, and Ao Ling hopped on the spot while shaking his hands. When he took a deep breath, his cheeks puffed up, amusing the audience.

The broadcasting team of the International Olympic Committee is very professional. Knowing that the United States team is the biggest highlight of the game, the camera was given to these four people for a long time, followed by the host team of France.

And because Ao Ling made a lot of circles with his face before the official start of the game, he has attracted widespread attention from the outside world, so the shots are frequently shown on his face, and every time it is a close-up.

His appearance and facial features are already exquisite. He has been soaked in water all year round, and his skin is good. His tanned skin after going to the United States for foreign training has already turned white. Even close-ups can stand the test of the camera.

At this moment, Ao Ling, who was preparing for the first Olympic final in his life, didn't know that he had captured the hearts of hundreds of millions of viewers all over the world with just his good-looking face.

At the last moment, the four of them put their arms around each other's shoulders and formed a circle. It was still Fu Xingtu who was talking. Since Qin Xiao was not selected for the national team, he was now the best candidate for captain, and he was very authoritative when speaking in front of the small players.

He standing here is an inspiration to the three people next to him.

He Jiarui took a deep breath and stepped onto the starting platform.

It was not difficult to see that he was still very nervous, and his legs were trembling slightly.

Ao Ling cheered him up from behind: "It's okay, you can do it, show your best results."

After finishing speaking, Ao Ling looked to the side, and all the top swimmers are world famous players, such as Davis from the United States, Mehra from France, and Nakamura from Japan...

Ao Ling already had a hunch that they might be at a disadvantage in the first round.

Unsurprisingly, although He Jiarui was among the best in the starting reaction, his swimming speed was not comparable to other competitors. In the first 50 meters, his time was 23 seconds, ranking last among all the competitors.

Turning around and swimming about 15 meters, Ao Ling saw that he began to speed up significantly.Based on the location of their lanes, He Jiarui could only see the Japanese players in the next lane from the direction of his breathing.

He knew that among all the players, his own strength was the weakest, but this was a four-person relay race. He didn't want to drag his teammates down, so he could only grit his teeth and desperately followed the Japanese next to him. Players, so as not to be left too far behind by the opponent.

After 100 meters, the Japanese player Zhong Cunyuan took the third from the bottom at 48 seconds, and He Jiarui took the bottom one at 49 seconds.

The first shot of the American team was 48 seconds, and the shot was second. The first was the French team, 10 seconds.

Seeing this result, Ao Ling felt a little bit in his heart. Sure enough, it was the Olympic field. He was 100 seconds behind his opponent in the first 0.8 meters, and there were three more to go, so the difficulty further escalated.

Fu Xingtu's hand was always on Ao Ling's shoulder, and Ao Ling occasionally raised his head to look at his side face, seeing the unwavering determination in his eyes, and his heart also settled down.

The second was Fan Yuhao. Although this kid is the main event of butterfly, but because of his strong body and strength, he can also swim well in freestyle.

After entering the water, he started chasing wildly with mana, which made Ao Ling on the shore a little excited.

Xiaolong Cub got a little carried away when he was excited, and when he got to the side, the referee looked down, and he looked down with the probe, and was stared at again.

Perhaps the athletes had an instinctive fear of the referee, so Ao Ling shrank her neck and took half a step back.

Originally wanted to hide behind Fu Xingtu, but forgot that his boyfriend was standing on the starting platform at the moment. When he raised his head, Fu Xingtu's huge body flew out smoothly and straightly like a sharp sword ready to go.

Fan Yuhao was really fierce, and caught up to the fourth position in one breath. However, the second best American player was even fiercer. He was the only one among the eight players who swam to 48 seconds. Although Fan Yuhao is currently in the fourth position, but The result is still about 0.8 seconds behind the first American team.

This result put tremendous pressure on Fu Xingtu, who was the third runner-up, and Ao Ling who stood on the starting platform was even a little disheartened.

Although the coach gave them the goal of winning a medal, in Ao Ling's heart, his goal has always been the gold medal.

Looking at Fu Xingtu, who was still desperately catching up, and then at American player Evans who had the last shot a few lanes away, the gap was only 0.8 seconds, and the opponent was the strong and average American team. Ao Ling felt that this was almost An impassable distance.

At this moment, Ao Ling couldn't tell what was going on in his heart. He knew he shouldn't give up, but he couldn't help but think in a negative direction.

At this time, the third rod turned 50 meters away, and Fu Xingtu had already come to the third place. His speed was so fast, the sense of strength when paddling, the splash of water, and the shoulder and back muscles that fluctuated with his movements... ...All of this brought a strong visual shock to the audience and the audience in front of the TV.

The little negative emotions in Ao Ling's heart were swept away in an instant. Even if they were as strong as the American team, they still had no chance at all.

Ao Ling's eyes kept moving back and forth between Fu Xingtu's figure and the timer on the big screen. Fu Xingtu's stage results were amazing, and Ao Ling was a little stunned. His 50-meter score broke into 22 seconds!

At the moment of handing over the baton, Ao Ling did not see the final score, but according to his speculation, Fu Xingtu's score should be around 47 seconds.

As far as Ao Ling knew, this should be Fu Xingtu's personal best ever.

The moment he entered the water, Ao Ling's mind was full of Fu Xingtu's hard work just now.

From a certain point of view, he and Fu Xingtu are actually the same kind of people. They don't think too much when they are in the water, and they only have to fight forward indomitably.

Fu Xingtu has already caught up to the second place, and the gap with the US team has narrowed to within 0.4 seconds.

The last U.S. team player, Evans, once swam 100 seconds in the 47-meter freestyle event.

If he still swims out this result today, it is impossible for Ao Ling to catch up with him.

Because in that case, the time has already far exceeded the world record.

However, so far, Ao Ling has not broken a world record.

But Fu Xingtu shortened his time by 0.4 seconds. This 0.4 seconds will become impossible. No matter who the opponent is or how powerful the opponent is, he will fight for his teammates, for his motherland, and to live up to Fu Xingtu. At the cost of his life, he had to give it a go.

Yan Yifei and Zhao Di still serve as partners to explain the swimming events of this Olympic Games together.

Zhao Di looked at Ao Ling in the swimming pool: "There is still half a body away from the US team. Evans is also a talented young man who has emerged in the US team in recent years. The two talented young men met in advance in the relay event. I don't know What will be the result."

Yan Yifei interjected: "I believe Xiaoqi, he has turned defeat into victory in the last 50 meters countless times, and brought us too many famous scenes of reversal of opponents, and he will certainly be able to do it today."

Zhao Di said: "In the history of the Olympic Games, we have never won a medal in this event, and the best result is to enter the final. At present, it seems that a medal should be no problem. In fact, the boys have already made history. .”

"That's right," Yan Yifei's voice was extremely firm, "but I don't think Ao Ling will be satisfied with a silver medal. He and Fu Xingtu must both go for the gold medal."

Because Fu Xingtu rushed too hard, his physical strength was seriously exhausted. The referee reminded him three times before he reluctantly came to the side sprinting lane.

When she turned around, Ao Ling was ready to turn around.

大屏幕上的成绩显示，美国队的阶段成绩是2分45秒05，中国队的成绩是2分45秒34。

The gap between the two men narrowed to 0.3 seconds.

傅星图根据埃文斯50米的成绩大约估算了一下，最终成绩应该在47秒20左右，那么敖凌的成绩就必须在46秒90左右才能逆转夺冠。

The world record is 46 seconds. In the past few decades, no one has ever swam this result.
