Ji Zhengliang participated in two swimming events, namely the 100-meter breaststroke and the 200-meter breaststroke, which fit the cheating method provided by Zhou Hexuan. He was much luckier than his teammates. One of his other two teammates focused on freestyle and the other on backstroke.
, all were eliminated in the second round.
The 50-meter men's freestyle final has ended, and the 50-meter breaststroke final is about to begin.
Yang Nanzhu, the head coach of the swimming team, came over, patted Ji Zhengliang on the shoulder, and comforted: "Don't be too nervous, you will definitely win the championship!"
"Yes," Ji Zhengdian nodded, turned to look at the audience and smiled, "Thanks to Mr. Zhou's method."
With a whistle blowing by the pool, the 50-meter men's breaststroke final officially began.
Ji Zhengliang sat leisurely on the sidelines, staring intently at his next opponent, Tetsuo Hayuro, who had signed up to participate in all breaststroke competitions.
I saw Tetsuo Hayuro swimming quickly to the surface after entering the water. The other players were swinging their arms in the breaststroke, but he was using the butterfly swing. Of course, the leg movements were still breaststroke techniques, because the butterfly stroke leg movements were expressly prohibited. This
The posture is rather ugly. The arms in the butterfly stroke and the legs in the breaststroke can be described vividly as being constantly ups and downs in the swimming pool.
Due to physical reasons, Tetsuo Hayuro was obviously behind the white players in the first half of the race, but he caught up wildly in the second half. Unfortunately, the distance of 50 meters was too short for Tetsuo Hayuro to catch up, and even the top three
None were obtained.
Ji Zhengliang estimated in his mind that judging from Tetsuo's effort in the second half of the race, it was possible for him to win the prize in the 100-meter race, and he would definitely surpass those white athletes in the 200-meter race.
The 50-meter men's breaststroke final ended. When several white athletes began to receive their awards, Ji Zhengliang also put on his swimsuit and began to warm up.
Takeshi Onokura, the head coach of the Japanese swimming team, whispered to Tetsuo Hayuro: "Give up the 100-meter race. Just treat it as a warm-up and conserve your strength to win the 200-meter gold medal."
"I understand, coach." Tetsuo Yamuro said through gritted teeth. He was determined to win the 200-meter gold medal.
"Everyone in your place!"
"preparation!"
"boom!"
The starting gun sounded, and the athletes gracefully jumped into the swimming pool.
Tetsuo Hayuro still used the butterfly arm swing and swam forward unhurriedly. There were already three people in front of him, including two American players and a British player.
The German on-site commentator said on the radio: "Michael, the American player in the fourth lane, is in the lead, and behind him is the British player... Wait! Where is the Chinese player? God, the Chinese player is underwater, and he has never surfaced.
Come on... He has already touched the platform and turned back. He has surpassed the American player, and he is still swimming under the water... Oh, buy it! Is this a breaststroke competition or a diving competition? Unbelievable, Chinese player Ji Zhengliang has already completed the 50-meter race.
, he touched the stage again and turned back. Although it is difficult to understand, he did use the breaststroke posture... The Chinese player is now at least three meters ahead of the American player, and he is still expanding his advantage... Let's guess, what exactly is the Chinese player?
How long can he swim? Does he have to swim the entire distance underwater? Well, the answer is yes, he only has the last 25 meters left... The champion was born, and he is Ji Zhengliang from China. Let's take a look at the results of the competition...
...The record is broken, 1 minute 12 seconds 4, the Chinese athlete set a new world record!"
After the game, all the staff, athletes, coaches, spectators, reporters, referees... all looked at Ji Zhengliang in confusion.
Although Ji Zhengliang used underwater swimming in both the preliminaries and the semi-finals, he would occasionally surface. Because his results were good or not, it did not attract much attention. But now it is the finals, and the Chinese actually broke the world record, and
And the whole trip was scuba diving!
Can you still play like this?
Several referees got together and began to discuss, but they were not sure. After much discussion, everyone finally discovered that it seems that there is no rule against swimming in the breaststroke competition, only the posture...
Countless athletes vomited blood and looked at Ji Zhengliang with depressed faces.
Ye Shitefu looked confused and asked his coach: "What should I do?"
Onokura Ken scratched his head and said, "I don't know either."
"How about I also dive during the 200-meter race?" Tetsuo Yamuro said uncertainly.
Onokura Ken shook his head repeatedly: "No, we can't take this risk. You can try to win the silver medal in the 200 meters, and we can train our diving skills when we return to China."
Ye Shitefu: "..."
Did you promise to win the 200-meter breaststroke championship?
More than ten minutes later, the national flag anthem of the Republic of China was played for the first time in the Berlin Olympics venues. All the people present were so excited that tears filled their eyes.
While Ji Zhengliang was receiving the medal, Yang Xiuqiong and her teammates also started their journey to the finals.
Yang Xiuqiong's advantage is freestyle. She has registered for almost all freestyle events, and only registered for the 50-meter and 100-meter breaststroke events.
After all the women's freestyle competitions failed, it was finally time for the Chinese women's swimming team to perform.
The women's breaststroke final begins!
The first was the 50-meter women's breaststroke final. Yang Xiuqiong and Liang Yongxian quickly reached the finish line and won the gold and silver medals in the 50-meter women's breaststroke. Liu Guizhen and Chen Huanqiong stood outside the court with depressed faces. It was not that they were not strong enough, but that they did not sign up for this event.
,what a pity!
The entire competition venue went crazy. Everyone looked dumbly at the Chinese swimmers trying to win medals.
The most terrifying thing is the women's 100-meter breaststroke. Four members of the Chinese team participated in the finals and took the top four places in this event.
On the flagpole behind the podium, three blue-sky and white-sun flags rose slowly. Head coach Yang Nanzhu smiled from ear to ear. Today felt like a dream.
As for the athletes from other countries, they are still vomiting blood collectively. They feel that they are in the wrong place. This is not a breaststroke competition, this is the Olympic diving finals!
Let’s report the results first. The Chinese women’s swimming team won a total of gold and silver medals in the 50-meter breaststroke, gold, silver, and bronze medals in the 100-meter breaststroke (huh?), gold and silver medals in the 200-meter breaststroke, and gold and silver medals in the 200-meter relay.
Team gold medal.
In all women's breaststroke events, the championship was taken away by the Chinese.
The most ridiculous thing was the men's 200-meter breaststroke final. Zhou Hexuan burst out laughing in the audience.
I saw that the Chinese players were far ahead in the whole process of swimming, and the Japanese players were in second place using butterfly strokes. The Western players behind them were doing breaststroke honestly. They swam and swam, but they couldn't catch up. It was completely like a master.
A desperate situation.
When Ji Zhengliang and Tetsuo Yamuro stood on the podium, countless athletes and coaches were in a state of confusion.
What about the breaststroke competition we were talking about?
The one who won the championship in the diving, the runner-up in the butterfly, and the rest in the breaststroke were all left behind!
The main event team and the referees were equally aggrieved. They felt that the breaststroke competition in this Olympic Games was a farce. All the gold medals were taken away by cheaters, but those cheaters did not break the rules.
"I hope the breaststroke rules can be revised in the future..." The judges all burst into tears.
