Chapter 187: Not the last one is victory
Tang Hao and Sun Yang joined hands to get ashore. Their appearance ignited the venue again. The audience cheered and celebrated crazyly for this moment.
As the audience expected, the Chinese team won the first and second place in the 1500-meter freestyle. Although it was different from the situation where Sun Yang won the championship and Tang Hao won the silver medal before the game, as long as he got two medals, it would be the same for anyone to win the championship.
At the award ceremony, after the 400-meter freestyle, the sea crown once again showed two five-star red flags rising at the same time.
"Get up! People who don't want to be slaves!"
The audience sang the Volunteer March proudly and proudly. They no longer squirming their mouths in form, but really sang them.
When the five-star red flag rises, there is no reason for them not to sing.
After the award ceremony, Tang Hao and Sun Yang kissed their own medals and then raised them into the air.
The audience cheered excitedly.
"Ri Tian, Ri Tian!" Some fans kept screaming.
After participating in 6 competitions and winning 5 gold and 1 silver, Tang Hao is undoubtedly the most shining star in this venue. His light overwhelms a group of world-class celebrities such as Phelps and Rochet.
This is definitely the World Championships he became famous.
However, the Chinese team was only excited about the beginning, because in the following events, the US team won 3 golds in the women's 50-meter breaststroke, men's 400-meter medley, and women's 400-meter medley. After winning 13 gold medals, they were immediately on par with the Chinese team's medal count.
In other words, the 4x100m freestyle that will be performed in the end will determine which of the two teams will become the country with the largest number of gold medals in swimming events in this World Championships.
In fact, after the French team, which is most likely to sprint for the US team, performed poorly in the group stage and was unexpectedly eliminated, this gold medal has probably fallen into the hands of the US team.
The Americans have basically locked in the country with the largest number of gold medals ahead of schedule, just like in the past World Championships.
Of course, this is just the idea of most people, and the audience and media from various countries are still supporting their own countries.
Polish Football News: We reached the finals historically. Now, it is time for the world to feel the strength of our Polish people!
Royal British media: British stars, you need to use a medal or even a gold medal to justify yourself and reshape the style of the British Empire's "Royal Navy"!
Asahi Shimbun of the Island Kingdom: Yamato nation performed very well in the preliminary round, but our Warriors still have a chance, Kitajima Jun! Irie San! Let’s bring this gold medal to our Oshima Empire!
Australian National Sports News: The elimination of the French has made us the most powerful team to impact the Americans. Our Warriors are ready to bring another precious gold medal to our country in unfair treatment like the freestyle relay!
...
Media from various countries have expressed their opinions before the game. It can be seen that although the US team is the biggest favorite to win the relay race, other countries also cherish this opportunity to enter the finals and strive to bring a medal or even a gold medal to their respective countries.
In contrast, the Chinese team's media seem much more low-key. It's not that they don't want to be high-profile, but they really can't make it high-profile.
The main reason for this is naturally the absence of veteran Zhou Jiawei. According to the pre-match arrangement, Song Xiaocheng chose young player Shi Yang to play after careful consideration. Wu Peng, who had just won the bronze medal in the 200-meter butterfly, was a choice, but in the end, Song Xiaocheng chose Shi Yang, who had better explosive power.
Such an arrangement is understandable, but all four players are young players. To describe it in a very vivid sentence, this is simply a three-legged scum. This scum is not intentionally attacking the other three people, but compared with the top athletes in other countries, this is a fact.
The Chinese media is pretty good, talking about the hard work of young people, and quoted Tang Hao's words in the championship game, "People must have dreams. If there is no dream, what is the difference between them and salted fish?" In another way, we cheer for Chinese athletes.
However, at this critical moment, the Korean media that failed to enter the finals were a little sour: "Without veteran Zhou Jiawei, even with Tang Hao, the Chinese team could not avoid becoming the weakest team. For them, this final is either the last or the victory."
For such sour words, netizens no longer chose to remain silent because there was no hope as before. They mocked the so-called Republic of Korea.
"Why didn't I see you in the finals in the invincible Republic of Korea?"
"Why can't the Korean media be as low-key as their Park Tae-hwan? This is not worthy of the Chinese team, so this is!"
"Well, I can imagine what kind of scene would be like if the Korean team reached the finals? I believe that the Korean team must have been in the universe at that time, oh no, it is the strongest existence in the entire Galaxy."
...
Netizens made great jokes, while Korean media was defeated like never before. Originally, they didn't reach the finals, which was just a pleasure to talk. However, with the lessons of Tang Hao's previous 200-meter freestyle championship, Chinese netizens' counterattack this time was unexpected.
Of course, this targeting by the media and netizens is just an off-court matter. Whoever can have the right to speak in the end depends on the results of the game.
Although it was both the finals, after a series of renderings before and outside the court, the 4x100-meter medley relay, which is already extremely high in attention, has received unprecedented attention at this moment.
Because it was the last of the competition on that day and the finale of this World Championships, although it was almost 12 o'clock at night, there were more than 15,000 people on the scene in the sea crown. They would never miss this game with the 4x100 medley relay of the Chinese team for the first time.
Similarly, it is something that people from all other countries don’t want to miss.
Media and commentators from all countries took their seats early and broadcasted the game to domestic audiences as soon as possible.
"You have to believe me. No matter what the result is, I will try my best to win this gold medal." At the end of the game, Tang Hao said to the other three teammates.
When teammates heard what Tang Hao said, they all clenched their fists and ignited their fighting spirit in their eyes.
Both young people, although their strength is worse than Tang Hao, they are not inferior to fighting spirit and fighting spirit at all.
"China Team! Come on!" They shouted together with their hands folded.
At this moment, the final countdown of the 4x100m medley relay race began outside the field.
On the athlete's digital display gate, the countdown number is flashing and counting down.
With this countdown, the audience also shouted loudly.
“5!”
“4!”
“3!”
“2!”
Chapter completed!
