America’s Road To Fame - Chapter 388

Tuesday, July 26.

This morning, Chen William started the first event of the competition at 9 o’clock, which was the men’s 50-meter breaststroke qualifier.

After the competition, he can still get enough rest. At 18 o’clock in the afternoon, the first competition is the highly anticipated final of the men’s 200-meter freestyle.

The men’s 50-meter breaststroke preliminaries will be held at 9:00. A total of 56 players will participate in the competition. The competition will be divided into 7 groups. The top 16 players in the final score will enter the semi-finals.

For example, the 50-meter short-distance competition in swimming competitions tests the explosive power of the players. Therefore, it can be clearly seen that the players participating in the competition are generally younger than the players in the 200-meter freestyle. Younger batch.

After having yesterday’s game experience, Chen William has some experience in how to control the rhythm of the game. But in the final analysis, the 50-meter short course race is relatively short after all, so compared to the 200-meter freestyle, it is more difficult to qualify for the semifinals without exposing all of your strengths.

In the end, William Chen basically achieved his goal. His final time in the 50m breaststroke was 26.78 seconds, and he almost failed to break the record.

The men’s 50-meter breaststroke world record is 26.67. This record is also a world championship record, set by South African player Vanderberg at the 2009 Rome Swimming World Championships.

In addition to Chen William, Brazil’s Da Silva was second in the qualifiers. He swam in 27.19 seconds in the sixth group, and Slovenian Markci won 27.36 seconds. Third in the preliminaries, Slovenian Duganjic came in fourth in the preliminaries with 27.47 seconds.

It is worth mentioning that Gu Biaorong, a 23-year-old Huaguo player, ranked in the fourth group. As a result, he ranked second in the group with a time of 28.14 seconds. In the overall ranking, Gu Biaorong only ranked 19th and did not win. Semi-final qualification.

After his appearance in yesterday’s game, Chen William has already conquered the audience with his outstanding performance that exceeded most people’s expectations. Therefore, today, he seems to be in his own home, whether it is before the game or the game. Afterwards, they all received encouragement and applause from everyone.

In this regard, Chen William also specifically waved to the audience when he walked to the sidelines, expressing his gratitude, which caused a burst of screams from women. Crazy female fan, rushed down and didn’t know what to do…

Even so, at that time, the bold female fans could still hear the shouts of “husband and husband” one after another, giving people the illusion that this was not a swimming pizza scene, but some idol fans. meet up.

Interestingly, at this time, the TV broadcast was naughty to Paris, who was in the audience, and it could be clearly observed that although she was happy with Chen William’s achievements, she heard that. Those female fans still clearly rolled their eyes when they shouted “Husband Husband” to William Chen.

I have to say that not only Ivanta, but even Paris is learning Chinese intermittently, not to mention anything else, she still knows the meaning of “husband” that these female fans call.

Just like that, at 18 o’clock in the afternoon, the men’s 200-meter freestyle final, which has attracted much attention, officially started.

All the players stood on the starting platform. In this competition, two American players Phelps and Rochette occupied the 2nd and 3rd lanes, and Chen William, who was the first in the semi-finals, occupied the 4th lane. France’s Agnell, who was second in the final, was on track 5, Germany’s Bidelman and South Korea’s Park Tae-hwan were on lanes 1 and 6, respectively.

When it came to the game where the medals were decided, the atmosphere of everyone was very solemn.

With the sound of the command, all the players jumped into the pool at the first time, swimming rapidly. On the field, the loudest voice that can be heard is the cheering for Chen William.

Because there were no Chinese players in this final, Chen William, who is very well-known in China and has Chinese blood, became the object of support from the audience, and this place instantly became his home court.

At the beginning of the game, Phelps showed a strong desire to win, and he occupied the first position when he turned in the first 50 meters.

And his teammate Rochette was in third place behind Phelps by 0.28 seconds. Of course, the second place was William Chen!

He still used the previous strategy. In the 100 meters of the race, he tightly grabbed the leading competitor, but he would start to exert his strength in the last 100 meters.

For the next 50 meters, Phelps also maintained his strength, as if he had returned to the Water Cube in the Yanjing Olympics, calmly leading his opponent.

Of course, with Chen William following closely behind, whether he is really calm, only he knows.

When entering the 150-meter competition, Lochte started to exert his strength. With high-quality strokes, Lochte, who was not very frequent, completed the overtake of Phelps at this 50-meter, and turned around to lead Phelps. 0.64 seconds, but at this time, he can only rank second.

Because at this stage, William Chen has also started to accelerate, and after passing Phelps, he maintains the leading position, even if Rochette tried his best, he could not surpass the one in front of him. It seems that he will never Tired figure.

French teenager Agnell ranked third with a difference of 0.61 seconds. After the last 50 meters, all the players began to exert their strength, and the final sprint is what Rochette is good at. It was once considered to have the most speed reserve. , Park Taihuan was completely suppressed when he was able to perform amazingly when sprinting.

But these efforts of his were all in vain after all, since Chen William entered the third leg of the stroke, he has firmly held the lead and left the others behind.

In the end, William Chen was the first to touch the wall, and his final score was 1:41.45!

After seeing this final result and confirming that it is valid, the commentator on the live TV said excitedly:

“William Chen! William Chen won! He won the gold medal with a time of 1:41.45! This means he beat the 1:42 set by German Paul Biedelmann at the 2009 Rome Championships. A new world record is born!

“At this time, in this competition, there were former world record holder Biddleman and former former world record holder Phelps, who did not know that at this time they saw William Chen breaking the world of the men’s 200m freestyle. Record, and beat them and win the gold medal, how does it feel?”

At this time, both the audience on the field and the audience in front of the TV can see the final result of the game. William Chen broke the world record and won the gold medal with a score of 1:41.45.

Rochette of the United States won the second place with a time of 1:44.44 and won a silver medal; Phelps won the third place with a time of 1:44.79, but still failed to win the World Championships. The first gold medal, but won the second bronze medal; Germany’s Biedermann won the fourth place with 1 minute 44 seconds 88.

After the competition, the award ceremony for the men’s 200-meter freestyle at the World Swimming Championships was held on the spot. William Chen, Lochte and Phelps won gold, silver and bronze medals respectively. Interestingly, they are both American nationals. , But this time, Chen William participated in the World Championships in his own name, and Atlanta has not yet joined FINA and the International Olympic Committee.

Therefore, when the awards ceremony was held, the second and third positions of Lochte and Phelps were raised by the American flag, while William Chen’s championship position was raised by the FINA meeting according to regulations. The flag, the music played, is also the anthem of FINA.

This scene is the first time in the 38-year history of the World Swimming Championships since the first session was held in 1978, and Chen William also made history with it.
