The Call of Sports Arena

Chapter 167: The Storm Resurrected (5/5)

In large-scale competitions, players who do not have competitions on match days will be arranged for training in the swimming pool next door, but sometimes, in order to relax the mindset of athletes and give athletes some rest time, the coach will choose to give the players temporary holiday.

Tang Hao and Sun Yang, two freestyle swimmers, enjoyed this treatment today. They chose to come to the arena to relax.

Their arrival also instantaneously detonated the auditorium. On the first day, they hand in hand to win 2 gold and 1 silver.

Tang Hao also experienced the feeling of being sought after for the first time in a real sense.

A little bit floating.

It wasn't until the game was about to start that the fans around them returned to their original positions under the guidance of the security guard, but from the sights cast from time to time around, they could see that they could not wait to sit together with Tang Hao and Sun Yang.

The next morning is the men's 50m butterfly and women's 200m medley. Zhou Jiawei, Shi Yang of the Chinese team and Ye Shiwen of the women will all play.

The youngster Shi Yang appeared in the first group. This group of well-known players is Matthew Taggart from Australia. The latter is mainly engaged in butterfly swimming, but it is also the first day of Australia to win the 4X100m freestyle relay championship. One of the team members.

Shi Yang's debut attracted a burst of cheers from the audience, but Taggart's debut attracted a lot of boos.

From this booing, the audience's dissatisfaction with Taggart or the Australian swimmers can be clearly felt.

This booing soon attracted Taggett's dissatisfaction, frowning expression that he was trying to control his emotions.

After the players were ready on the take-off platform, they all jumped into the water with an electronic gunshot.

The cheers of the audience rang, and the cheers were deafening.

Both Tang Hao and Sun Yang had heard this kind of cheering in the pool before. At this time, they were sitting on the stands and felt a tremor of eardrums, and the enthusiasm of the audience was like fire.

Shi Yang's talent and strength are very good. In the cheers of the home audience, he tried his best, and finally swam out his personal best score of 23 seconds and 67, ranking second in the group, and successfully entered the half In the final.

It was Australian Taggart who won the first place in the group. The latter was excited after the victory, and even some emotions were out of control. After the game, he continuously issued words beginning with F to the audience to vent his dissatisfaction.

This soon attracted another boo from the audience, but the Australians were enjoying themselves this time, nodding constantly.

Tang Hao couldn't help looking serious.

He has watched the interview video of Australia yesterday. His speech is full of disdain and discrimination against Chinese swimmers and even Asian swimmers. They thought that after the Internet exposure, these people will always converge, but they did not expect it to happen. Still with this attitude, it seems that they are like the American American Pete Allison who met in the archery competition.

The preliminaries of the 50-meter butterfly stroke continued, and veteran Zhou Jiawei played well, and finally only got the third in the group, missed the next semi-final, and ended the 50-meter butterfly stroke in advance.

After the group stage of the 50-meter butterfly is over, the preliminary round of the 200-meter freestyle is followed.

Because of Ye Shiwen's debut, the emotions of the audience were ignited again.

Ye Shiwen's strength in the medley has already been revealed in the championship. At this time, she also completed the group stage with ease and pleasure. She finally won the group first with a score of 2:11.21 and advanced to the semifinals.

After the game, Ye Shiwen waved in the direction of Tang Hao and Sun Yang repeatedly, which caused another cheer from the audience.

In the morning, the men's 100-meter breaststroke and women's 100-meter butterfly stroke will be held.

Because China's strength in these two projects is relatively poor, Tang Hao and Sun Yang did not stay on the scene and left the auditorium before the game started.

Although the coach allowed them a day off, in order to maintain the state of the game, they still have to consciously train in the afternoon.

In the semifinals in the afternoon, youngster Shi Yang played abnormally in the game, and finally ranked fifth in the boy, missed the final in the evening.

Such a result was expected. Speaking of this is Shi Yang's first participation in the World Series. It is inevitable that there will be fluctuations in his mentality.

But in the pre-match interview, the Australians who couldn't calm down provoke things again.

The reporters will conduct an interview with the athletes before the game. During the interview with Taggart, the player who enjoyed the boos of the audience twice in the group stage, first vomited the disrespect of the audience for the players, and then talked about When Shi Yang missed the final, he said bluntly: "This is the strength of Chinese players. Without the help of other things, they can't even make it to the final. This is the best proof."

Taggart used the word "something" in the interview, which refers to something. This thing can be understood in many ways, but with the interview video of the first day of the game, it is obvious that this thing is alluding to doping.

Such remarks soon attracted a condemnation from netizens, and well-known sportsmen directly Aite the Chinese Swimming Federation on Weibo. After continuous fermentation, dissatisfaction has reached a climax.

It is against this background that when the 50-meter butterfly competition was played at night, the Australian famous players Taggart and Jeff Hughier were defeated, and the Brazilian swimming star Cesare Ciello who won the championship became the audience and Netizens' hotspot ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is even called "Friend of China".

Netizens responded strongly, but at the same time, they also explained one thing from the side. No one in the Chinese men's butterfly swimming can only rely on this kind of foreign friends who forcibly draw relationships to find some comfort.

Fortunately, in the next 200-meter freestyle final, Ye Shiwen played well. He pressed Australian star Alicia Cutts and American star Ariana Cookes to win the Chinese swimming corps in the next day. The first piece is also the only gold medal.

When the national anthem sounded, many people on the scene burst into tears. The Chinese nation suffered humiliation and discrimination in the last century. Now it has entered an era of rapid economic development. However, in sports, they still suffer from discrimination and non-discrimination from time to time. To be fair, the lyrics of the national anthem, in a sense, are precisely the dissatisfaction of this kind of encounter.

It is against this background that the World Championships ushered in the third day, which is also the first multi-item competition day.

In this competition day, there are a total of 5 items to be preliminaries, the schedule is very compact, and more importantly, a small event with the highest attention will be played on this day, 100 meters freestyle. (To be continued.)
