Chapter 256: Dark horses frequently (two/three)

"Are you in London?"
Tang Hao returned a message and went back. After a while, he didn't see the reply. It was too sleepy. He didn't wait any longer. He threw the phone aside and went to sleep.
The next day he got up early and glanced at his phone.
Yan Bing has sent back news to him. They came to see the Olympics in a school team. Because they were afraid of affecting his game, they did not tell him.
In this way, Tang Hao did not find Yan Bing to be normal. This kind of group basically wears uniforms to watch the Olympics, and the position is not too forward.
He looked at the time, and early, he put the phone in his pocket and went to the swimming pool after washing.
The Olympic Games enters its fifth competition day. On this day, Tang Hao will participate in the 200m backstroke preliminaries, as well as the 200m breaststroke and men's archery.
The talented person is hardworking, for him, the London Olympics has a kind of hurry.
When he went to the dressing room, he happened to see Xu Jiayu changing clothes there and saw him come in. The latter said hello: "Brother Tang, are you here?"
Tang Hao nodded, and then began to change clothes.
"Brother Tang, you have to be careful about a few people in the 200-meter backstroke." Xu Jiayu said while changing clothes.
Tang Hao turned his head to look at him. In swimming competitions, backstroke and breaststroke attracted much less attention than butterfly and freestyle. For Tang Hao, this is also a "sideline", and he did not take it too far to understand This competitor, Xu Jiayu, who specializes in backstroke, is obviously more familiar than him.
"The strength of the islanders in Jianglingsuke is very good, he has a chance to hit a medal, even a gold medal."
Entering Jiangling Jie Tang Hao knows that when he was in the World Championships, the top two teams of the island national team, Kojima Kitajima and entering Jiangling Jie, were all outstanding.
"However, what you care about most is your old opponent Rochette. Rochet's four stroke styles are top-level. In addition to the medley, his strongest is the 200 backstroke, which is the championship heat of the Olympic Games. Xu Jiayu emphasized.
"I'll swim my own." Tang Hao nodded and put on his clothes. Instead, he looked at Xu Jiayu and said, "You also strive for the final."
"Brother Tang is assured that you can set an example for me. I don't think it will be difficult to make it to the final." Xu Jiayu said with a smile.
Tang Hao nodded, changed his clothes, put on his swimming goggles and said, "Go."
From the locker room, other players were already training in the swimming pool. Tang Hao saw Rochet, who was chatting with his teammate Taylor Clary.
After looking at the swimming pool, Jianglingsuke, who was in the first group preliminaries, was making time for the final preparations.
Tang Hao and Xu Jiayu also went into training soon after arriving.
Seeing Tang Hao go into the water, Rochet came over to say hello to him. The two had already played against each other in the World Championships and the Olympic Games, and they were considered old acquaintances.
After a while, the game was about to start, and the players got up from the pool and went to the arena.
At this stage of the swimming competition, it has been more than half of the schedule. The number of spectators arriving in the preliminaries is much more than the opening days.
The appearance of the 200-meter backstroke player brought the atmosphere to a small climax.
When Tang Hao went out, he just saw Ye Shiwen who had participated in the 400m medley preliminaries.
Ye Shiwen's expression was serious, which seemed to have become her imperial expression.
"Brother Tang!" But when she saw Tang Hao, she immediately put down her tight face and ran over and said with a smile.
Tang Hao nodded and habitually reached out to touch Ye Shiwen's head.
Ye Shiwen rubbed in the hands of Tang Hao, very enjoyable.
"Hurry back and change your clothes." Tang Hao said withdrawing his hand.
"Brother Tang, come on!" Ye Shiwen nodded and made a wave with Tang Hao, then trot into the channel.
"Brother Tang, you are so amazing. I can't see the little leaf with a smile in the national team, and only when I see you." Xu Jiayu said with emotion.
Tang Hao smiled and did not speak. Ye Shiwen's character is similar to that of his previous life. It is also a good thing that he can bring some happiness.
After the players arrived, the preliminaries soon began.
As expected, the first group's entry into Jiangling was very good. Not only did he get the first place in the group, the score of 1 minute 55 seconds 21 was also very good.
The second group followed.
The popularity of this group of players is not high, but Roacht's teammates Clari and Xu Jiayu will appear in this group.
"Come on." Xu Jia encouraged him before playing.
"Good!" Xu Jia nodded in excitement, then went on the court.
The second group of preliminaries soon began, and Tang Hao watched as a teammate in the pool beside him.
As soon as he started, Xu Jiayu grabbed the first place of all the players, and he could see that he had taken the initiative from the beginning.
However, it is clear that motivation alone is not enough in the Olympics. After leading 50 meters, he was overtaken by Clari in the next lane.
The next 150 meters, Clari led the whole journey, his results are also impressive, the 21-year-old teenager scored at 1 minute 54 seconds 96, the preliminary results were even better than entering Jianglingsuke.
Tang Hao couldn't help but glance at this Clary.
One of the biggest features of this Olympic swimming event is the frequent appearance of dark horses. Although basically the champions are taken by him, if he is not, this gold medal is also other dark horses and not those famous ones.
After Xu Jiayu's game ended~EbookFREE.me~ Tang Hao also stood up from the pool.
It was his turn to play in the third group.
His appearance drew another small climax from the audience.
However, Tang Hao did not want to be too eye-catching in the preliminaries. He basically played the whole game with 80% of the strength.
But even so, his score of 1 minute, 55 seconds and 10 easily won the first place in the group, basically getting the semi-finals.
When he came out of the swimming pool, Tang Hao waved to greet the audience with warm cheers, and it was then that he noticed a familiar figure in the front row.
Alison Stoke, the girl who said yesterday that he would come to see him, was really beckoning him with several teammates.
Tang Hao reached out and responded, then walked towards the player's channel.
The 200m backstroke preliminaries were over, and there were individual 16 rounds of archery waiting for him.
The archery individual competition has entered the top 16 stage, leaving only the best players in competitive archery.
The encounter with Tang Hao in this round was Li Chengxuan, the 12th North Korean player who was the core of the North Dynasty team. In the Kyoto Olympics, he was the top 8 in the archery individual competition.
Similar to Tang Hao, Li Chengxuan's biggest feature is stability, and basically no results below 9 rings.
This point can be seen from his last round of knockout, the average number of rounds in 4 rounds is 28.2.
The same is true of the game with Tang Hao. His three rounds of results were 28, 29 and 28, respectively, and he played quite well.
In any Olympic Games, this result is enough to make him advance to the top 8.
The only unfortunate thing is that his opponent is Tang Hao.
