Chapter 038

Swimming Championship Begins-2

The scene of the group stage of the 400-meter freestyle.

“Group 8 is ready!”

Claire took off her long down jacket to maintain body temperature and took off her headphones. Stretched his body a bit.

"Athletes please get on the starting platform! Prepare! "

Claire stood on the starting block, he was in lane seven. He adjusted his swimming goggles, looked at the azure pool, and took a deep breath.

“Ready~Bang!” the starting gun sounded.

Claire took a leap and jumped into the water. First dive deep and glide for a distance until you see the warning line, then surface.

In regular competitions, there is a distance limit for diving. The longest diving distance for athletes in the water is 15 meters. If they exceed 15 meters, they must surface and use other swimming styles to continue the competition.

For the 400-meter freestyle, the length of the swimming pool is 50 meters, and a total of 8 rounds are required. This is a huge challenge to the physical strength and endurance of all young athletes participating.

Claire’s jumping reaction speed is not considered leading. In the first 50 meters, Claire ranked fourth among 8 people.

We’re almost at the pool wall, get in the water and turn around! Push your feet against the wall!

With a beautiful turn, everyone started the second 50 meters.

Claire still maintained her position in fourth place, clinging to third place.

…

Because it was the group stage, there were not many spectators coming to watch the game. Most of the people in the stands were coaches, relatives and friends of the players.

Brother Jerry can be regarded as Claire’s first coach, but it’s a pity that he is not here today. After Claire went to the set to film, she received little guidance from Jerry. Most of the time I manage myself.

The two little girls I met yesterday, Jiadeli and Lunna, were standing by the stands, nervously looking at Claire’s figure competing in the water.

“What should I do, Jiadeli? I’m a little worried. Claire is in fourth place now, and he won’t be able to make it to the semi-finals if he continues like this!” The little fan girl Lunna was extremely worried, and she wanted to go to the battle to help Claire swim in person.

“Don’t panic. Let’s take a look. The 400-meter freestyle is very long and tiring. It takes a full 6 rounds. It’s only the second time. There is a chance to catch up!” Jiadeli was more mature and comforted her. Lunna said.

…

When you’re almost to the pool wall, turn around and kick your legs!

With a smooth turn, Claire was half a body faster than the third place, advancing one place!

Huhuhu~ The third 50 meters!

Claire swam quickly using the most suitable crawl stroke…

Freestyle (freestyle), strictly speaking, is not a swimming style, but a competition event of competitive swimming. Its competition rules have almost no influence on swimming styles. However, crawl swimming has a reasonable structure, low resistance, uniform and fast speed, and is the most labor-saving and fastest swimming posture. Therefore, in competitions where there are almost no restrictions on swimming styles, people often use crawling, a swimming style with low resistance and fast speed.

Turn around! Kick off the wall! The fourth 50 meters!

Claire turned her head slightly, and the second-place swim lane was in lane six next to him.

He can already see his back!

come on! Claire gritted her teeth and said, “Fuck him!” If you exceed it, you will enter the semi-finals!

By the fourth round, Claire’s endurance advantage began to become apparent, and his speed was still maintained.

We are about to hit a wall, take this opportunity!

Turn around! Very good!

Taking advantage of the turnaround, Claire is now neck and neck with second place!

…

In the stands, Lunna almost jumped with excitement.

“Andre! No, Claire, he has caught up with the second place! Come on! There is hope of qualifying!”

…

Finally in the fifth 50 meters, he finally caught up with the second place! With her impressive endurance, Claire distanced herself from the athletes in the sixth waterway next to her!

Second place!

Claire is no slouch! There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind!

Claire shook off the messy thoughts and went after the first place!

The last lap! The last 50 meters of swimming lanes!

The first two were like sharp swords in the water, leaving the other players behind far behind and taking the lead!

The two were locked in a tight grip, with Claire only half a body behind the other.

Claire does not plan to activate the system’s function. There is no need to fight hard in the group stage, qualifying is the only purpose!

There will be a rematch tomorrow! Preserving your energy is the most important thing!

‘drop! ‘The first place lane 4 lights up!

‘Dip’ Claire also hit a wall and came in second place! Successful qualifying!

‘Dip~’

‘Didi~’…

All athletes completed the game.

…

“Huh~huh” Claire put on a bath towel and went to check the results.

[First place: (San Diego) Lloyd Dominic, score 5'02"00]

[Second place: (San Francisco) Claire Dillon, score 5'09"00]

[Third place…]

5'09"00!

This result is close to the level of 5'06"00 for national second-level athletes!

In this group stage, Claire did not explode at all! After all, the preliminaries and rematches are two days in a row, so it is most important to conserve your energy in a targeted and reasonable manner!

Roxy handed Claire the energy drink, “Not bad! Claire! Successfully qualified! Keep up the good work in the rematch tomorrow!”

Claire said nothing, nodded, and took a big sip of the drink!

“Congratulations, Claire! Your performance is great!” Lenna and Jiadeli ran down from the stands to congratulate Claire.

“Thank you for coming to watch my competition! Haha!” Claire responded with a smile, “Jia Deli, is your competition over?” “It’s over!

I am first in the group and successfully advanced!” Jia Deli replied very proudly.

“Wow, so awesome! Congratulations!”

“Hahahaha~~”

…

After the game, Claire did not go out to celebrate or play.

After doing some basic training, I rested early and prepared for the rematch tomorrow!

The number of people in the semi-finals has been greatly reduced, and we cannot just look at the ranking of the group like in the preliminary round. You must be in the top 16 of everyone’s rankings to be eligible to participate in the finals! Therefore, the situation is that the first place in some semi-final groups does not enter the finals, and the top three in some groups all enter the finals! So you must not relax!

The next day, rematch day!

Clare’s schedule is in the afternoon, Group 5!

Jiadeli and Lunna were still standing in the stands, waiting for Claire to start the game on time.

“Bang~” the starting gun sounded! The game officially begins!

Claire jumped down!

Today his jumping reaction speed was pretty good, ranking among the top three!

50 meters! Claire is still fourth!

100 metres! Claire improves one place!

150 meters! Claire is in second place!

200 meters! Keep it up!

250 meters! Claire is less than half a meter away from first place! Almost go hand in hand!

300 meters! Claire first!
