At the 100-meter freestyle final, the atmosphere in the entire clubhouse was quite lively.
Five gold medals will be decided in this venue today, three of which are for men's events.
Jiang Fan participated in all three events: 200-meter freestyle, 200-meter backstroke and 100-meter freestyle.
Since among the twenty-five individual competitions Jiang Fan participated in, swimming accounted for ten and track and field accounted for eight, which are the two categories with the most events.
Therefore, the swimming events selected by Jiang Fan will basically be completed before the track and field events begin.
As for the competitions in the other seven events, they will be interspersed between these two categories.
During the most intensive days of competition, Jiang Fan even had to travel back and forth between three different venues.
Even when such a game plan was submitted to the Olympic Organizing Committee, it actually caused huge controversy within the Olympic Organizing Committee.
Although the Olympic Games does not limit the number of events that athletes can participate in, there are basic performance requirements after all.
Only those who meet Olympic standards can be allowed to participate.
And Jiang Fan has to participate in so many events. Except for some track and field events that have reached Olympic standards in corresponding events, other events have to be wild cards.
This kind of thing may not be considered big at all, but it is actually not small at all.
Mainly, if it's just a wild card for a few projects, it might not be a big deal.
At most, he would be eliminated in the preliminaries, which would not attract any ideas.
But if a person participates in as many as twenty-five competitions, even if all of these competitions are eliminated in the first round of preliminaries, it will definitely attract the attention of interested people afterwards!
After all, the Olympic Games in modern society are often observed and reported under a microscope.
No matter what, it is impossible for a person to participate in so many events and hide it.
So once such a crazy wild card application is approved, it means that the Olympic Organizing Committee will be involved in the whirlpool of public opinion.
Unless Jiang Fan shows sufficient competitiveness in all of these twenty-five events, and at least wins gold medals in some of the cross-event competitions, this whirlpool of public opinion will be directed positively.
Otherwise... various conspiracy theories and other extended troubles may even form a huge scandal.
But correspondingly, if Jiang Fan can really achieve eye-catching results in all 25 events, then the positive effects brought by this will also make this Olympic Games the most popular in the splendid history of the Olympic Games.
A session to remember.
The benefits brought by this are also immeasurable.
More importantly, Jiang Fan's 100-meter and 200-meter results were extremely astonishing, making Jiang Fan's athletic ability at least one of the best in the world.
If you really participate in the competition, it shouldn't be too embarrassing.
Countries submitting applications for wild cards at the same time are also reasons why the Olympic Organizing Committee itself must carefully consider them.
If something like this happens in some small countries, there is no need to hold a meeting to discuss it, and they can just refuse to fight back.
As a result, after intense discussions, Jiang Fan's wild card applications were all approved due to the huge driving force behind him.
So from the first day of the Olympic Games, there has actually been a group of people paying attention to Jiang Fan's competition.
Before a group of reporters discovered the New World, this group of people had been watching the game very nervously.
It wasn't until Jiang Fan successfully won two shooting gold medals that most people breathed a sigh of relief.
At least I have a gold medal as a foundation...the worst outcome won't be too disastrous.
And then Jiang Fan successfully won the gold medal in judo and entered the finals of three swimming events, which made the people of the Olympic organizing committee completely relieved.
So... is there really such a genius in this world?
At this time, Jiang Fan was already wearing swimming trunks and appeared on the venue for the 100-meter freestyle final.
Following the close-up of the camera, he raised his hands and greeted all around.
There were spectators from China, as well as local international students from Edo Castle or Chinese, sitting in groups in the venue, with national flags painted on their faces and often holding small national flags in their hands, cheering happily and excitedly.
In peacetime, international sports events can best arouse the patriotic enthusiasm of the whole people, especially events like the Olympic Games, where you can really see that the Chinese people all over the world are one family.
A large number of sports reporters have focused their attention on this. Jiang Fan has already won three gold medals. If he can win the fourth today, it will be a huge miracle for this Olympic Games.
Because these four gold medals will come from three completely different projects.
After all the eight people participating in the finals were introduced, they all stood on the preparation stage.
Listening to the referee's voice, these athletes took corresponding preparation postures. As the starting gun sounded, eight figures jumped up at the same time!
The distance Jiang Fan jumped out was obviously much longer than that of the other seven people.
This is still under the condition that Jiang Fan intends to retain it. If he really tries to jump up, even the entire platform will be directly trampled to pieces by the huge force.
Entering the water, Jiang Fan quickly swung his legs, and the splash caused by the huge force was much larger than that of other athletes in the adjacent lanes.
Similarly, Jiang Fan's speed is far higher than the other seven athletes!
Almost as soon as he entered the water, Jiang Fan gained a huge advantage. At the same time, as the swimming distance increased, this advantage continued to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye!
When Jiang Fan finished swimming the first 50 meters and started swimming the last 50 meters, the gap between the second place and Jiang Fan was already more than one and a half body lengths!
Such a huge gap is almost impossible to appear in a 100-meter race.
Only in those long-distance swimming competitions can the distance between first and second place be extended to more than two or three positions.
In a 100-meter race, if the final distance is about an arm's length, it can be considered a huge difference in strength.
But this position difference... continues to widen!
When the 100-meter freestyle swim was finally completed and Jiang Fan was the first to touch the pool wall, the results displayed on the big screen instantly plunged the entire venue into a dead silence!
Forty-two seconds and three, improving the original Olympic record by more than five seconds?
This...is this still a human being?!
So much so that when other athletes hit the wall later, they didn't attract any attention at all.
Everyone's eyes were turned to Jiang Fan in the swimming pool, because such a result already represented Jiang Fan's absolute speed in the swimming lane!
If nothing else happens, Jiang Fan will definitely dominate the others in the next swimming competition!
Sure enough, this judgment was confirmed shortly thereafter.
In the following 200-meter freestyle and 200-meter backstroke, Jiang Fan also won the gold medal with a significantly improved new Olympic record!
The news spread back to China immediately.
Suddenly, the whole country was in a state of excitement!
