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

Chapter 137 Pan Zhanle kneels down!

On the evening of October 24, 2024, Incheon Station, Wenhe Park Tae-hwan Swimming Center, South Korea.

The last game tonight, the men's 4*100m freestyle relay final is about to start.

The eight teams from the eight countries participating in the final have already stood by the pool, waiting for the moment when the "starting gun" sounds.

Chen Shu is of course the first in the third lane.

Obviously, there is no surprise to the other players that he swam the first leg, but generally speaking, the strongest ones swim the last leg, such as Dressel of the American team and Chalmers of Australia, who are the last to enter the water.

But who made the Chinese swimming team have two world-class players who are out of the game.

There is one that has already made other countries jealous, and this is two directly. The United States and Australia are not thinking about winning the gold medal in this event.

The two countries have put in all their efforts and now only want to win the silver medal.

The last runner Pan Zhanle was enough to make them drink a pot, and with the super abnormal Chen Shu, other countries no longer had any idea of ​​competing for the championship.

Squeak!

Chen Shu fixed his goggles and stood on the starting platform.

Ding——

Everyone walked up, and the next second the electric whistle sounded suddenly.

"The game begins!"

"Chen Shu entered the water first again!"

"Another extreme reaction time of 0.11 seconds!"

"Now no one in the world should doubt that Chen Shu was swimming with a gun, or relying on luck. This is completely his true reaction, with the best reaction time of an athlete!"

"..."

Niu Yinhao's commentator was shouting excitedly, and Pan Zhanle stared at Chen Shu without blinking after he entered the water.

For Chen Shu's other events, even if Chen Shu broke the world record again and again, he would only feel happy for him. Only in the 100m freestyle, Pan Zhanle felt a strong pressure.

The feeling of "If there is Yu, why is there Liang" has been ringing in Pan Zhanle's ears every moment during this period.

Although he and Chen Shu are teammates and brothers, they are real opponents and comrades in the men's 100m freestyle!

"Brother Shu, I feel that there is no difference in speed from the previous 100m freestyle?"

While Chen Juner was talking, Wang Haoyu was already standing in front of the starting platform, ready to complete the handover of the second baton with Chen Shu.

"No, he has become faster!"

"Really faster!"

The person who knows you best must be your opponent.

What Chen Shu didn't know at all was that Pan Zhanle had studied Chen Shu's swimming videos.

Especially the 100m freestyle videos, he watched them many times.

"Before, he had to swim until the second turn before starting his 100-meter freestyle sprint. Now, he starts his sprint right after the first underwater turn after 25 meters!"

"Players like Chalmers and Dressel could catch up with Chen Shu before, but now...I probably can't catch up. Even if I catch up, I will be overtaken quickly! "

Pan Zhanle observed very carefully, and also pointed out the difference between Chen Shu's previous 100m freestyle and the current 100m freestyle.

It's just a sprint in advance.

A sprint time of 32 seconds is of course different from 23 seconds!

It's 9 seconds faster, which means it can be about 20 meters ahead.

This is Chen Shu's progress.

Pan Zhanle saw it all.

You are faster than Chen Shu. Compared with 25 meters and 40 meters, the latter is definitely easier to catch up.

"Brother Shu, if nothing unexpected happens this time, you will break the world record again!"

Pan Zhanle said speechlessly.

This is not what Pan Zhanle saw by looking at the time, but an estimate of the time in his heart and his confidence in Chen Shu.

"Chen Shu's condition is as good as ever! ”

“He kept the lead after entering the water!”

“Although he didn’t swim very fast in the first 25 meters, he quickly accelerated by raising his legs during the turn, and he completely pulled away from the other seven opponents!”

“The gap between him and the second-place Australian player McEvoy is getting bigger and bigger!”

“I remember that the last time Chen Shu swam the 100-meter freestyle, he didn’t have such a terrifying dominance. Every turn seemed to open up a body position!”

A gap of more than 5 meters, this is the distance between Chen Shu and the second-place McEvoy.

“Too strong! ”

“Brother Shu is at least 2 seconds ahead…”

Chen Juner was saying this in astonishment. In his sight, Chen Shu had already passed the third lane and was sprinting towards the straight road of the finish line.

Shua——

Amid the cheers of countless Chinese audiences, Chen Shu arrived at the finish line like a flying fish.

Wang Haoyu had already entered the water.

“How much? ”

Pan Zhanle raised his head suddenly and looked at the big screen which showed the time of each runner in the first leg.

Because Chen Shu was the first runner, this result was included in the world record of men's 100m freestyle.

42.33 seconds!

When Chen Shu's result came out, not to mention Pan Zhanle, even the entire Chinese swimming team's backcourt was a little suffocated.

42.33 seconds... 1.16 seconds faster than the world record of 43.49 he created before!

"Fuck, did this guy take aphrodisiac this time?"

"42.33 seconds... How did he do it? It's more than 1 second faster than the last time?"

"In one week, he has improved so much?"

"Crazy, is Xiao Pan really hit hard? ”

“…”

The members of the swimming team were screaming, and in the public area behind the court, many foreign swimmers held their heads and looked at Chen Shu’s men’s 100-meter freestyle in disbelief.

McEvoy swam 45.21 seconds, 2 seconds slower than Chen Shu92 seconds, close to 3 seconds.

In fact, this 45.21 seconds is fast enough, and it is the fastest record of the men's 100-meter freestyle that McEvoy has ever swum in his life.

Unfortunately, even so, his result is completely eclipsed by Chen Shu's 42.33 seconds.

"Did you let it go before?"

Pan Zhanle looked at Chen Shu, who climbed ashore and panted. Chen Shu shook his head, his chest like a bellows: "No... No!"

"No, you swam more than 42 seconds, 43 seconds before, more than 1 second faster?"

"Don't tell me, in just one week, you have improved so much?"

Pan Zhanle's whole body was a little broken, obviously stimulated.

Of course, this can't be blamed on him, but anyone else would actually be like this.

A week ago, the two were clearly similar in strength, with Chen Shu only being 0.3 seconds faster than Pan Zhanle, but Pan Zhanle was still determined to surpass this opponent.

However, in just one week, Chen Shu was already more than 1 second faster than him. How could Pan Zhanle accept this?

"Yes, that should be...right?"

How else to explain the improvement in one week?

"It should be your sister, more than 1 second in one week?"

Pan Zhanle still didn't believe it: "Were you afraid that I couldn't stand it last week, so you deliberately beat me by a few tenths of a second?"

0.2 seconds faster, so that he could accept it.

"What? Don't you know how I was doing after the last swim?"

"Do I need to do this?"

Chen Shu said with disdain. Pan Zhanle thought about it and felt that it was indeed unnecessary, but this improvement...

"I really don't know. It's true that I got faster in one week!"

"Damn, you beast, you're so evil. Why would I swim with you!"

Pan Zhanle pouted with a depressed look on his face. The athletes watching the live broadcast in the backstage didn't see the quarrel between Chen Shu and Pan Zhanle. Their eyes were obviously on Wang Haoyu, the second runner.

Wang Haoyu's 100m freestyle also improved.

In the first runner, Chen Shu helped him get ahead by 2.92 seconds. In the second runner, he expanded his lead to 3.10 seconds and handed it over perfectly to Chen Juner, the third runner.

"Okay, Brother Pan, prepare for the fourth leg well. We are waiting for you to open the champagne first!"

"Don't have any psychological burden..."

Chen Shu was comforting Pan Shuai, and Pan Zhanle laughed at Chen Shu: "Damn it, I will settle the score with you after the swim!"

This means that he didn't take Chen Shu's result to heart, at least it was not affected. Chen Shu was really afraid that Pan Zhanle would be depressed by his 42 seconds.

"An unimaginable result!"

"Chen Shu, the first leg, swam 42.33 seconds, which was 1.16 seconds faster than the world record of 43.49 seconds he set in the men's 100m freestyle short pool in Shanghai a few days ago!"

"This is Chen Shu's condition."(To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"This should be the first swimmer in human history to swim into the 43-second interval!"

"There is only one such swimmer, and Pan Zhanle is also in the 44-second interval!"

"I don't know where Chen Shu's real limit is!"

"The Huaxia team is now in an absolute lead. Although Chen Juner, the third runner, is not as fast as Chen Shu and Wang Haoyu, the other runners in his leg are not fast either! ”

In the end, Chen Juner was still 3.01 seconds ahead of the second-place American team, and he did not let the gap widen any further.[]

Although, in fact, the American team had already closed the gap a little.

But it was only 0.09 seconds, which was almost equivalent to not closing the gap at all.

What was even more terrifying was that the last runner of China was Pan Zhanle, the one who was second only to Chen Shu in the world, but was about 1 second ahead of everyone else.

So, when Pan Zhanle was ahead of the American team's Dressel by almost half a straight to the edge, no swimmer, no one felt that this result was any surprise.

Because, Chen Shu and Pan Zhanle could lead the second place by so much.

The position advantage of more than 9 meters should also be a very outrageous gap between the first and second place in the relay race.

Even the world record was less than 1 meter away from Pan Zhanle.

"World record! ”

“This time, the four relay runners of the Chinese swimming team broke the world record in the 100-meter freestyle again!”

Niu Yinhao could have said it in advance.

Because after Pan Zhanle reached the edge, the world record line in the broadcast screen had not yet reached the edge.

Everyone knows that this must have broken the world record.

The four-person team of Chen Shu, Pan Zhanle, Wang Haoyu and Chen Juner once again won a gold medal.

The Chinese team won 4 1 silver and 2 bronze medals, further increasing the lead of the first place.

After waiting for a long time, when the last German player swam to the edge, the total relay results of the eight countries participating in the 4*100m men's freestyle relay were directly displayed on the big screen in the center of the stadium.

Everyone was actually looking forward to it.

Swish!

2 minutes 57 seconds 53!

Chen Shu: 42 seconds 33!

Wang Haoyu: 45 seconds 85!

Chen Juner: 46 seconds 16!

Pan Zhanle: 43 seconds 19!

……

"2 minutes 57 seconds 53!"

"A new world record for men's 4*100m freestyle short pool!"

"They are once again written by the Chinese swimming team, created by Chen Shu, Pan Zhanle, Wang Haoyu and Chen Juner! ”

“It’s 1.21 seconds faster than the previous 2:58.74!”

As Niu Yinhao explained, Chen Shu finally heard the long-lost system prompt sound!

Ding!

[Congratulations to the host for winning the 2024 Swimming ChampionshipsThe first runner of the 4*100m men's freestyle relay at the World Cup Incheon Station once again broke the world record for the men's 100m freestyle short-course swimming, and was awarded 500 experience points! 】

Ding!

[Congratulations to the host for breaking the world record for the men's 4*100m freestyle relay short-course swimming at the 2024 Swimming World Cup Incheon Station, and was awarded 3000 experience points! 】

3500 points of reward.

This relay race is quite rich in experience.

Adding the remaining 8600 experience points, Chen Shu now has 12100 points.

"You can upgrade to sprint!"

[Sprint 1v45]: Grandmaster level, temporarily get 35 seconds of sprint time!

"Tomorrow's three races, 100m and 400m, should be faster!"

Tomorrow Chen Shu will have three preliminaries in the morning, namely 100m freestyle, 400m freestyle and 50m butterfly.

The men's 100m freestyle is the first event after the women's, and after the preliminaries of the 1500m freestyle, it will take about 40-60 minutes before the 400m freestyle!

Finally, there will be two more 50m backstroke and 50m breaststroke, and another hour before the 50m butterfly.

So this rest time should be enough.

Mainly in the afternoon, the final time is fast.

Chen Shu will definitely have to make a choice at that time, otherwise his instant status of double 100883 will not guarantee all the games.

Of course, there are at least 10 minutes between each game, from entering the venue to the end of the game, so even if Chen Shu has not recovered enough and his condition and physical fitness cannot reach 100, he can actually reach 70-80, which is enough to barely cope with the game.

"I must get double 100 in the 400m, but it doesn't matter for the other 100m freestyle and 50m butterfly!"

Especially for the men's 100m freestyle, if I break the world record tomorrow morning, I will probably get 200 bonus experience points... There won't even be 100 points in the final tonight, so whether this game breaks the record or not is not that important, it's just 10,000 US dollars less.

Instead, the 50m butterfly will get more experience points.

"However, the 100m freestyle is the first game in the morning and afternoon. Unless you hold back, you will swim at full speed, and you will get double 100 at the beginning..."

Chen Shu was thinking there, and Pan Zhanle had already grabbed his neck with both hands.

"Damn, 42.33 seconds, I didn't even swim under 43 seconds in the last leg!"

"You are such a beast, you treat me to lunch tomorrow!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Chen Shu: "..."

"Okay, okay, I treat you!"

Since the food provided by Wenhe Park Tae-hwan Swimming Pool is too bad, the swimming team has decided to pack it outside, and they can report any problems.

Of course, it's not that delicious, but at least it's better than the food in the cafeteria.

After the interview, Chen Shu and the other four walked towards the Chinese Swimming Team.

Today's competition is over.The Chinese team finished perfectly with 4, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals, leading the second-placed Canadian team by 1 gold medal, and 2 medals ahead of the United States and Australia.

Chen Shu won 3 gold medals alone, tied with Canadian female athlete McIntosh.

However, she won three individual events, while Chen Shu won two individual events plus relay.

"Keep up the good work tomorrow!"

"Come on!"

Cui Dengrong routinely organized the post-match summary, and then led the Chinese swimming team towards the hotel.

"Brother Shu, you have 3 events tomorrow?"

Pan Zhanle looked at the schedule for tomorrow. Chen Shu was quite busy. In addition to the men's 100m freestyle and 50m butterfly in the morning, there was also a 400m freestyle!

"Well, I'm going to give up on the 100m and go all out for the 400m!"

"What the hell?"

Pan Zhanle was a little amused when he heard this: "Are you really giving up?"

"Really!"

"Haha, I won't be polite then!"

Pan Zhanle was waiting for Chen Shu to say this. Cui Dengrong, who was not far away, seemed to have heard it as well. He turned around and said, "Chen Shu, 100m is your strong point. You just practiced 400m. Do you want to guarantee 400m?"

This is a bit putting the cart before the horse, although there is another strong 100m runner in the team.

"Well, it's okay!"

"Don't we still have Captain Pan?"

Chen Shu smiled, and Cui Dengrong shook his head: "You better think about it, don't end up losing the big shot when the time comes!"

In everyone's eyes, it was unwise for Chen Shu to "give up" the 100m and guarantee the 400m.

If neither of them wins the gold medal, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

So many people obviously don’t understand Chen Shu’s decision! .
