Chapter 256 Dark Horses Are Frequent (2/3)

"Are you in London?"

Tang Hao returned the message and waited for a while but didn't see the reply. He was so sleepy that he didn't wait anymore. He threw his phone aside and went to bed.

The next day he got up early and glanced at his cell phone.

Yan Bing had already replied to him that they were in the school group to watch the Olympics, and because they were afraid of affecting his competition, they didn't tell him.

In this case, it is normal for Tang Hao not to find out that Yan Bing is. This kind of group group basically wears uniform clothes when watching the Olympics, and the position is not too high.

He looked at the time and it was still early, so he put his phone in his pocket and went directly to the swimming pool after washing.

The Olympics entered its fifth competition day. On this day, Tang Hao will participate in the preliminaries of the 200-meter backstroke, as well as the 200-meter breaststroke and men's archery competition.

Those who are capable work harder. For him, the London Olympics has a very good taste.

When he arrived at the locker room, he happened to see Xu Jiayu changing clothes there. When he saw him come in, the latter greeted: "Brother Tang, are you here?"

Tang Hao nodded and then began to change his clothes.

"Brother Tang, you have to be careful of a few people on the 200-meter backstroke." Xu Jiayu said while changing his clothes.

Tang Hao turned to look at him. In the swimming competition, backstroke and breaststroke received much less attention than butterfly and freestyle. For Tang Hao, this is also a "side job". He did not take it too far to understand his competitors. In comparison, Xu Jiayu, who specializes in backstroke, is obviously more familiar than him.

"Irie Erasuke, a native of the island country, is very good at making a chance to win a medal or even a gold medal."

Iriege Sukki Tang Hao knew that during the World Championships, Kitajima Yasuke and Iriege Sukki, who were in the top two teams in the island nation, were both very strong.

"But what you are most careful about is your old opponent, Rochet. Rochet is the top four swimming postures. Apart from medley, his strongest is the 200 backstroke, which is the favorite to win the Olympics." Xu Jiayu said emphatically.

"I'll just swim my own." Tang Hao nodded, then put on his clothes, and looked at Xu Jiayu and said, "You should also strive to enter the finals first."

"Brother Tang, don't worry, if you are a role model for me, it's hard for me not to enter the finals." Xu Jiayu said with a smile.

Tang Hao nodded, changed his clothes, put on his swimming goggles and said, "Let's go."

After coming out of the locker room, there were other players in the pool training. Tang Hao saw Rochett, who was chatting with his teammate Taylor Clary.

After looking at the swimming pool, Irie Leyusuke, who appeared in the first group preliminaries, was hurrying to make the final preparations.

Tang Hao and Xu Jiayu soon went into the water for training after they arrived.

Seeing Tang Hao getting into the water, Rochet came over and said hello to him. The two had already had a fight at the World Championships and the Olympics, and they were considered old acquaintances.

After a while, the competition was about to begin, and the contestants all got up from the swimming pool and went to the field.

The swimming competition has entered this stage and the schedule is half over, and the preliminaries are much more than the opening days.

The appearance of the 200-meter backstroke player immediately brought the atmosphere to a small climax.

When Tang Hao went out, he happened to see Ye Shiwen who participated in the 400-meter medley preliminaries.

Ye Shiwen's face was serious, and this seemed to have become her royal expression.

"Brother Tang!" But as soon as she saw Tang Hao, she immediately put down her tense face and ran over and said with a smile.

Tang Hao nodded and habitually reached out and touched Ye Shiwen's head.

Ye Shiwen rubbed her in Tang Hao's hand, looking very enjoyable.

"Go back and change your clothes quickly." Tang Hao said as he withdrew his hand.

"Brother Tang, come on!" Ye Shiwen nodded, waved with Tang Hao, and then jogged into the passage.

"Brother Tang, you are so amazing. I can't see Xiao Ye laughing in the national team, and only when I see you." Xu Jiayu sighed.

Tang Hao smiled and said nothing. Ye Shiwen's current personality is similar to that of her previous life. It is also a good thing that he can bring some happiness.

After the players arrived, the preliminaries began soon.

As expected, Irie Lenosuke in the first group performed well, not only won the top spot in the group, but also achieved a very good result of 1 minute, 55 seconds, 21 seconds.

The second group was followed by the show.

This group of players is not well-known, but Rochet's teammates Clary and Xu Jiayu will appear in this group.

"Come on." Tang Hao encouraged Xu Jia before he came on the court.

"Okay!" Xu Jiayu nodded excitedly and then went on stage.

The second group of preliminaries began soon, and Tang Hao, as a teammate, watched the game in the pool beside him.

As soon as he set off, Xu Jiayu was at the top of all the players, and it was obvious that he had shown great enthusiasm from the beginning.

But it is obvious that it is not enough to rely on energy alone in the Olympics. After leading by 50 meters, he was overtaken by Clary in the swimming lane next door.

In the next 150 meters, Clary led the way, and his results were also eye-catching. The 21-year-old player's score was fixed at 1 minute 54 seconds 96, and his preliminaries were even better than Ieengosuke.

Tang Hao couldn't help but take a look at this Clary again.

One of the biggest characteristics of this Olympic swimming competition is the frequent appearance of dark horses. Although he basically won the championship, if it weren't for him, this gold medal would be the other dark horses rather than those famous players.

When Xu Jiayu's game ended, Tang Hao stood up from the pool as well.

It's his turn to play in the third group.

His appearance attracted another small climax from the audience.

However, Tang Hao did not expect his performance in the preliminaries. He basically used 80% of his strength to play the whole game.

But even so, he easily won the top spot in the group with a time of 1 minute 55 seconds 10, and basically won the semi-finals.

When he came out of the swimming pool, Tang Hao waved his hand to greet the audience's enthusiastic cheers. At this moment, he noticed a familiar figure in the front row.

Alison Stock, the girl who said she wanted to see him yesterday, was really waved at him with a few teammates.

Tang Hao reached out to respond, and then walked towards the contestant's passage.

The 200m backstroke preliminaries were over, and there was an individual archery 16th match waiting for him.

The individual archery competition entered the top 16 stage, and those who were left behind were the best players in competitive archery.

Tang Hao encountered this round of the 12th Northern Dynasty player Li Chengxuan, who was the core of the Northern Dynasty team and was the top 8 players in the archery individual competition at the Kyoto Olympics.

Somewhat similar to Tang Hao, Li Chengxuan's biggest feature is stability, and basically rarely results below the 9th ring.

This can be seen from his previous knockout round that the average number of rings in the 4 rounds is 28.2 rings.

The same is true for the match against Tang Hao. His three rounds scored 28, 29, and 28 respectively, and his performance was quite outstanding.

In any Olympic Games, this result is enough to allow him to advance to the quarterfinals.
