The Call of Sports Arena
Chapter 182: The charm of competitive sports
In the championship game, because there are not many players, the players were divided into two groups: the fast group and the slow group, but the World Championships are different. After the number of players increases, the two groups obviously cannot meet the demand. Naturally, there will be a group stage .
The existence of Tang Hao and Sun Yang, a former world record holder, and a current world record holder, made the 1500m project also receive additional attention.
When warming up before the game, the two naturally couldn't escape the reporter's chase.
Because Tang Hao still has to participate in the medley relay race in the morning, he mainly warms up during training, and goes ashore after swimming for two laps.
As soon as he went ashore, he was surrounded by reporters. Most of them were domestic reporters, but there were also many foreign reporters.
"Tang Hao, today you are going to participate in the 1500 and 4x100m medley relay preliminaries in a row, will there be any physical problems?"
"Tang Hao, many netizens and sports people suggest that you give up a project selectively. What do you think of this?"
"Tang, your opponent at night is mainly teammate Sun. He has defeated you in your trial before. Are you confident of defeating him, or are you planning to give up strategically, leaving this gold medal to Sun, and then keeping your strength? On the 4x100 medley relay?"
...
Tang Hao was not very interested in these questions from reporters, but the last reporter's question made him frown.
He looked at the reporter who asked the question last.
This is a foreigner. The press card on her chest shows that she is a reporter from Australia.
Because of the series of practices by Australian players and the government after the start of the game, all Chinese, including Tang Hao, are quite unhappy.
Faced with this pitted question at this time, Tang Hao responded unremarkably.
"The biggest charm of competitive sports is that competition, better opponents inspire stronger self, do you have to give up because your opponents have their own teammates? Or because there are Australian players in the game, I will get out of them soon is it a lot?"
The Australian reporter frowned, but before she answered, Tang Hao continued: "Obviously not, because this does not meet the basic requirements of competitive sports, and the most important point is why you have the illusion that I don’t have the physical strength. Complete 1500 and 4x100 relays at the same time?"
As soon as these words came out, the reporters were surprised.
1500 meters require long-term endurance, and 4x100 relay race requires a short period of super explosive power. Normal people have to complete these two projects in succession. Their physical fitness is definitely stretched. Now Tang Hao asks why there is such an illusion? !
How confident is this to speak this way!
However, after the initial consternation, Chinese journalists involuntarily showed a strong sense of pride.
Self-confidence, the source is strength, which Chinese people dare to speak in front of the media like this? But now Tang Hao said, and there are already 4 gold and 1 silver medals, no one would think he was talking big.
This is definitely a burst of breath.
The Australian reporter was speechless for a while. She originally hoped to use this to provoke the relationship between Tang Hao and Sun Yang, or to get some negative news about the Chinese swimming team, but Tang Hao's self-confidence made all his plans fizzle. Too.
Coincidentally, Sun Yang, who came out of the swimming pool, also appeared confident in the interview. When the reporter relayed what Tang Hao said in the interview, he expressed the same saying as Tang Hao. Competitive competition, the core is competitive, stronger opponents , Will only inspire a better state of play.
What the two Chinese players said in the interview was also highly praised by netizens. Compared with the constant complaints and doubts of Australian players before, this is the purest sports game!
There are four groups in the 1500m group stage. According to the rules, the eight players with the best results advance to the final in the evening.
Sun Yang was in the first group and Tang Hao was in the fourth group.
Perhaps it was because of the interview before the game, or maybe it was not necessary to participate in the 4x100m medley relay competition, or because it was in the first group, Sun Yang chose to play in the preliminaries, and his excellent performance also attracted the scene The audience was extremely excited and cheered.
In the end, his score was fixed at 14 minutes 35 seconds 35, which is only one second away from the new world record he created in the championship game.
Such excellent performance also made netizens and sportsmen fry. They have already determined that Sun Yang has put the gold medal in the bag in advance.
Compared with the first group, the games in the second and third groups are a bit bland. The players have selective retention in the game. Canadian star Ryan Cochrane and Hungary star Gergi Kish, All advanced to the finals in the evening.
In fact, Tang Hao played in the last group, which is also the best thing for him.
Because the three groups of players have already finished before, and the results have all come out, he only needs to ensure that he enters the final, so that he can minimize physical exertion.
His final score was 14 minutes, 45 seconds and 23, ranking second in the group, and the seventh place of all players advanced to the finals in the evening.
After the 1500m preliminaries, Tang Hao had a period of physical recovery~www.wuxiaspot.com~Wait for the final period of the afternoon, he also ushered in another crucial qualifier.
In swimming competitions, the attention of relay events is often higher than that of individual events, because relay events not only reflect the individual level, but also the overall level of a country.
Among the three relay events, the most watched and the most enjoyable is the 4x100 medley relay competition.
Because it includes four swimming strokes, if you want to win the gold medal in this project, you must have relatively excellent star players in all four swimming strokes.
Teams like Australia, Canada and France are among the representatives.
Of course, there are exceptions, the most typical of which are the island team and the US team. The former's backstroke and breaststroke are the world's top level, often able to gain an advantage in the first 200 meters, while the US team is quietly the opposite. They basically rely on the back. Two strokes of butterfly and freestyle to achieve the final victory.
There are 2 groups in the 4x100m medley relay. The top four teams in the group will be qualified for the evening finals. Although it seems that there are a lot of places, the Chinese team has not had a strong swimming style in this project before. It is difficult to reach the finals. It's very big in itself.
And unfortunately, in this grouping, the Chinese team is in the same group as the US team, the Japanese team and the French team. It is more difficult to advance to the final.
"Medley relay, we are not a strong team, freestyle relay, we are also not a strong team, but we finally got a gold medal, which proves one thing, if you don’t work hard, you will have nothing, but you work hard Everything is possible." Song Xiaocheng cheered for the players before the game. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Tang Hao.
The meaning was obvious. The freestyle relay took Tang Hao's hand and Tang Hao is now in the medley relay. (To be continued.)
