Song Xiaocheng looked at Tang Hao, and everyone else looked at Tang Hao. Finally, they nodded hard.
Obviously, Tang Hao is now their backbone, and as long as the backbone is there, they will have the confidence to fight.
This time, the Chinese team sent a young lineup. The backstroke and breaststroke players were Xu Jiayu and Li Xiang respectively. Both were post-90s, not to mention Tang Hao. Of the four, only Butterflystroke is veteran Zhou Jiawei.
This lineup, the good point is that the old brings new ones, but in fact, there is no talent, all of them are mainly training young people.
Before the start of the preliminaries, the media of each country also made an outlook on the performance of their respective teams in the relay.
The well-known American sports media Fox Sports: We lost to the Australian in the freestyle relay. We have no reason, and there is no reason to lose again in the medley. The 14th gold medal belongs to us.
Australian National Sports: The host of China has shown a very unfriendly side to our national swimming team, but just like the freestyle relay, our team will prove at the medley relay that we are the strongest in the world Swimming country.
Island Media: In the past World Championships and Olympic Games, we have won too many bronze and silver medals. This time, our team members are at the peak. It is time for us to win this gold medal!
...
Looking at Leopard from the perspective of the media of various countries, it can be seen that they are inevitable for winning this gold medal, especially the island team, these players are the main lineup of the Kyoto Olympics, at this time they are at the peak, they are also the first Once shouted the slogan to win the championship.
During the training at noon, the island's absolute core, the world famous breaststroke star, won the 100m and 200m breaststroke gold medals at the Athens Olympics and the Kyoto Olympics, and the current men's 200m breaststroke world record holder Kitajima accepted before the game I was very confident during the interview. I admit that this time the medley relay was successful only if I got a gold medal. Bronze or silver medals have failed for them.
What's more worth mentioning is that when the reporter of the Chinese team asked whether the Chinese team seated in Tang Hao would impact them, the world-famous general's answer also seemed very intriguing.
"The Chinese team is the host. They will be able to play well at home, but our goal this time is the gold medal. We are confident."
Kosuke Kitajima said it was more euphemistic, but the implication is that individuals can understand that the Chinese team can indeed play well at home, but it is only limited to this. If you want to impact the gold medal of the island country team, this is still not necessary. realistic.
After the interview video went out, it quickly attracted the indignation of many netizens, cursing the islanders for not respecting the Chinese team, but more people chose to be silent. After all, the strength of the island country in the freestyle relay was there. At this time The vent is like a dog jumping over the wall.
It is against this background that the Chinese team ushered in their 4x100 medley relay group stage.
The registration result of the Chinese team ranked 14th among 16 teams. In this group, they ranked second to the bottom of the group.
As a result, their lane is in lane 7.
Three other compelling teams in this group, the French team registered the first place, they are in the fourth lane, the American team is in the fifth lane, and the island team is in the third lane.
Although the strength is limited, it does not hinder the enthusiasm of the audience to watch the game. The main reason here is naturally Tang Hao. Like the other three players in the relay race, as long as Tang Hao is present, everything is hopeful.
When the Chinese team members reached the final warm-up behind the jumping platform, the audience on the spot had already begun to become impatient.
However, this is only limited to the audience. Players of other national teams are doing warm-up and communication. Strong teams and strong teams have a common topic that can cross national borders. As for the strong teams and the weak teams, there is nothing good. Chat.
The Chinese team in the corner is in such a state at this time. Even the Dutch team in the next lane is turning to communicate with the British team on the other side.
The home team looked at an indescribable silence at this moment.
However, the players did not care about this. The final communication between the players and the players was before the game. Although the young players had limited strength, they were victorious in fighting.
Soon, the referee rattled and signaled the players to prepare for the game.
The first team players of each team also stood on the diving platform and then all jumped into the pool.
The medley relay race is carried out in four strokes: backstroke, frog, butterfly, and freestyle. Xu Jiayu is the first player of the Chinese team.
Xu Jiayu won the fifth place in the 100-meter backstroke at the World Championships. Among the four strokes, he was the strongest except Tang Hao.
"Everyone."
With the electronic sound on the sidelines, the best players from each team grabbed the platform and the whole body was lifted up.
"Oh!"
Along with a burst of electron guns, the contestant entered the water backwards, and after diving for some distance underwater, followed the shot and started to draw water.
"It's started! Xu Jiayu of the Chinese team started very well. He ranked behind the island team and the French team and ranked third among all players!" As the game began ~EbookFREE.me~ The live commentator also shouted with excitement.
The first two shots of the island national team are indeed top-level. The first shot is the world-renowned backstroke player entering Jianglingjie. He is the world record holder of the 200-meter backstroke. As the distance continues to increase, his leading advantage is also constant. expand.
Although France's famous player LaCour has been pulled away a little bit, he still has a lot of advantages compared to the players behind. Xu Jiayu strives to catch up, but it is really difficult to overtake.
After entering the 50-meter turn, players from the United States and the United Kingdom began to show their power one after another, overtaking Xu Jiayu one after another.
"Chinese team! Come on!"
The audience on the sidelines saw Xu Jiayu falling behind and shouted loudly to cheer him.
The shouts of thousands of people soon came into effect. Xu Jiayu worked hard to overtake the British team's famous star Lam Tanick in the last 10 meters and hit the wall for the fourth time.
This performance also attracted a burst of excitement from the audience. The Chinese team has great hopes of breaking into the final in accordance with this trend.
But soon, the second-best Li Xiang explained how weak the Chinese team's breaststroke was.
Although Li Xiang is struggling to catch up, with the recommendation of the distance, he fell from the fourth to the fifth, then to the sixth, and after the 50-meter turn, he has fallen to the seventh.
This result made the audience see a burst of vomiting blood, but it is no wonder that Li Xiang has no talents at the current stage of Chinese breaststroke. Li Xiang is a kind of general who pulls short.
In the end, Li Xiang, who tried his best, maintained his seventh position and touched the penultimate wall. At this time, the distance between the first island team and the first team was close to a position.
The ideal is very full, but after the first two swams, it turns out that the words of Kosuke Kitajima are indeed the truth, and the reality is so cruel.
