When the countdown enters the last second, the door opens, revealing the door panels covered with sponsors.

The first British team to appear in the 8th preliminaries.

After they appeared, they attracted a burst of cheers from the audience, which could be seen that the audience was already impatient for this relay race.

Lamb Tanik reached out and waved to the audience, his face relaxed, and it was obvious that although he did not perform well in the preliminary round, he and his teammates were still confident in the finals.

After the British team, Poland, Canada and other teams appeared one after another. Although their nationalities are different, the same is their confident expression, which is as expected before the game. They are all ready to show their skills in the finals.

After the Canadian team, the Australian team ranked fifth in the preliminary round was followed. The Australians' appearance instantly changed the atmosphere of the venue, and the cheers suddenly turned into inverted color sounds and sporadic booes. The Australians' unrepentance has destined to be unpopular in this venue.

Australian athletes also have a serious look on their faces. As athletes, it is definitely not a good thing to be welcomed by such a welcome ceremony.

Australia is followed by the island team. Perhaps because of the confrontation of being with Australia, the island people who did not take the Chinese team seriously in the semi-finals were instead applauded.

After the island national team, the Chinese team was the weakest in the group and the least favored team, their appearance still attracted explosive cheers from the scene.

If you can reach the finals, this team has won all the respect of the audience.

The Chinese team is followed by the German team led by Bidelman and the American team led by Phelps.

Only after the star-studded American team debuted can the cheers on the scene be compared with the Chinese team when they appeared.

After the players were introduced one after another, they all started their final preparations before the game.

At this time, the commentator on the sidelines also started to learn about it as soon as possible.

"The United States won three gold medals in the previous finals, and the relay race has always been their traditional advantage event. They have a lot of hope to win this gold medal." The commentator analyzed from the beginning that it was not that he had made others angry and destroyed his majesty, but that the other person's strength was there.

"Yes, the US team is very strong, but it is not difficult to win this gold medal. Although the French team unexpectedly failed to enter the finals, whether it is the German team led by Bidelman, the island team led by Yasuke Kitashima, or the strong Australian team, they all have the strength to compete for the championship." The commentator followed and analyzed.

"That's right, the US team is strong in butterfly and freestyle. If their previous players don't keep up, it will be difficult to win this gold medal." The commentator nodded in agreement.

"If we are bolder, if our young man performs well, and with Tang Hao's strength, we will have a certain chance to win a medal." The commentator said with a embarrassed smile, and it can be seen that when he said this, he did not have much confidence in his heart.

"There is still hope. This is our home court. When young people burst out, even if they can't win medals, as long as they exceed one opponent, it will be a victory for them." The commentator also did not have much confidence.

Just as the sideline commentator was commenting, the players were ready, and the first players took the start-up platform one after another.

The first baseball of the Chinese team is Xu Jiayu. Before he got on the court, he was encouraged by his teammates and looked excited. He could see that confidence was reaching a peak state.

"Our competition is about to begin. The Polish team in the first lane ranked seventh in the preliminary results, the Australian team in the second lane, the Chinese team in the third lane, and the American team in the fourth lane..." The commentator quickly introduced the players in each lane.

"The Chinese team is between the United States and Australia. This is a challenge for the young men, but it is also an opportunity. If they can keep up, there is hope!" the commentator said quickly.

"Everyone takes your place."

At this moment, the last prompt sound before departure came from the scene.

The contestants all held the handrail and lifted it up.

The cheers at the scene suddenly paused, and the audience was silent.

"Qua!"

With a gunshot, the contestants all jumped back and jumped into the water. After a period of diving, they began to accelerate wildly as soon as they emerged from the water.

"I set off, Irie Eresuke of the Island National Team is the first of all players! The Island National Team showed their determination to win the championship in the final!"

"There is Australia and then the United States! These are also the three biggest favorites to win the championship before the game!"

"The fourth place is the Chinese team! Xu Jiayu showed strong competitiveness after he came out of the water!"

The cheers of the audience at the scene were deafening at this time, and the cheers cheering for the Chinese team resounded throughout the venue.

After 50 meters, Xu Jiayu was still following closely behind American team player Hayden Stokel, maintaining the fourth position.

That is, after turning 50 meters, Irie Erasuke's leading advantage expanded to half of his position.

At this moment, the camera was given to the comment seat on the sidelines. In the comment seat of the island team, their commentators were imitating Irie Erisuke in a backstroke posture while commenting. It was obvious that he was in a good mood at the beginning of leading so much.

After turning 50 meters, the players of the German and Polish teams began to be weak in the future and surpassed Xu Jiayu one after another, pushing him from fourth to sixth.

However, although he was surpassed, Xu Jiayu was still trying hard to catch up, and he was trying hard to recover it little by little.

"Xu Jiayu! Come on!"

At this moment, the cheers of the audience came from the sidelines.

"Come on Xu Jiayu!" The commentator also shouted excitedly at this time. Although he was not optimistic about the Chinese team before the game, he was his own child after all, so how could he not support him?

Perhaps inspired by the audience, Xu Jiayu swam forward with all his strength, surpassing the players who surpassed him in the Polish and German teams, and once again came to the fourth position.

The scene of being overtaken and returning from overtaken was immediately excited by the audience.

Xu Jiayu finally maintained his fourth position. After touching the wall, he almost collapsed on the pool wall. He grabbed the handrail before stabilizing his body. He coughed violently. It can be seen that this time he really tried his best to do all his strength.

Backstroke is followed by breaststroke.

The most eye-catching thing at this time was the island team. In addition to breaststroke, Katsusuke Kitashima began to play strongly after entering the water. After coming out of the water, he expanded the island team's lead from half a position to half a position.

The commentator of the island national team on site also changed from backstroke to breaststroke and swam with Yasuke Kitashima.

But at this moment, a burst of cheers suddenly broke out at the scene.

Breaststroke is the most vulnerable event of the Chinese team now, and this has been fully revealed in the relay race preliminaries, so Li Xiang, who is the second best, can be said to be the biggest weak link of this team.

To put it bluntly, how far he is thrown away means how far Tang Hao will chase after the last shot.

But in fact, Li Xiang in the swimming pool actually maintained the fourth position after entering the water, and there was a vague trend of attacking the third Australian team.

After the reality and expectations formed a strong contrast, the audience was indescribable and excited.
Chapter completed!
