After a summer vacation, a classmate became an Olympic champion?

Chapter 127 One versus Eight! This is Chen Shu!

In the player channel.

Chen Shu and his four companions were the last group to go on stage.

The four-person team from the United States and Australia had actually been staring at the entrance of the Chinese player channel. They all wanted to know what kind of lineup China had sent out.

Although their coaches had told them that it would be Qin Haiyang, Zhang Yufei, Yang Junxuan and Xu Jiayu.

Because the 4*100m mixed men's and women's relay at the Paris Olympics was won by the four of them with a slight advantage of 0.05 seconds.

Of course, the American team still remembered it clearly, because today was a battle of revenge.

However, when Chen Shu was the first to come out, there was a commotion and discussion in the entire player channel.

Obviously, Chen Shu's appearance disrupted everyone's rhythm.

"Zhang and Qin didn't play?"

Walsh glanced at his teammate Husk beside him in surprise, who shrugged slightly: "It should be Chen Shu's butterfly stroke, the time is faster than Zhang and Qin combined!"

"But he is only 14 after all, and his physical fitness is definitely not as good as Qin's!"

"Huaxia is really crazy, letting Shuguang swim again for a gold medal!"

"Okay, girls, please focus on the next last game, that is the key to our American medal turnaround!"

Ryan Murphy, as a senior in the team, was talking to the two young female players.

Although, these two girls are very fierce.

"Ok, we are just confused!"

"In this case, Tori's opponent is Shuguang, I wish you good luck!"

Walsh shrugged at his partner Husk. After all, everyone knows that it is extremely difficult to swim in the same lane with male players.

Fink was relieved. His opponent became a Chinese female player. He was not stressed at all.

The Australian team was also surprised by Chen Shu and his team. They were also discussing quietly.

Chen Shu and his team were warming up as if nothing had happened.

Soon, the reminder sounded.

Chen Shu looked at his system panel. Even though his physical strength was still a little short, his status had recovered to 100. However, there were still 5 minutes before the start. If it was his third turn to enter the water, he should have about 8 minutes left.

He should be able to recover his physical strength to 100.

And the two most practical grandmaster-level skills for him, acceleration and sprint, were about to light up.

As expected, the skills were restored just when the game started.

At that time, Chen Shu would recover to a state where his physical strength was double 100, all skills were unlocked, and he would give his all.

There is no stronger time than this.

If they can't win the championship even with this, then it can only be said that the American team is too strong.

Wow——

The last Chinese quartet to appear on the stage really made the whole audience excited.The audience was a little surprised.

The Qin Haiyang and Zhang Yufei they imagined did not appear, but Chen Shu and Tang Qianting?

At this moment, the cheers from the audience resounded throughout the venue.

After all, they had no idea whether Chen Shu could swim one more time. In their opinion, Chen Shu could still participate in a competition, and they simply made a fortune.

Currently, the most popular swimmer in the country must be Chen Shu, who is on more than a dozen hot searches on major social platforms every day.

"Chen Shu! Chen Shu!"

"Come on!"

"You must win!"

The whole audience cheered for Chen Shu and the other four in unison.

Even CCTV commentator Niu Yinhao said in disbelief: "I didn't expect that the players sent by China for the 4*100m mixed men's and women's short-pool relay this time were Chen Shu, Tang Qianting, Yang Junxuan and Xu Jiayu!"

"It's not the Feiyang combination we are familiar with!"

"But China sent such a lineup, and it should also believe in Chen Shu's butterfly speed. He should be the key to whether the 4*100m mixed men's and women's short-pool relay can win this time!"

"The only worry should be his physical fitness, whether he can support another baton!"

"But since the Chinese swimming team let him play, they must believe in his strength!"

"I hope the four of them can swim to their true level!"

Following Niu Yinhao's introduction, Chen Shu followed Xu Jiayu to the second lane. The Japanese team, Australia and the United States next to him drew a good lot and swam in the fourth lane.

"I'm already getting nervous!"

"Why do I seem to be the only female breaststroke swimmer?"

Looking around, she was the only female swimmer in the nine finals teams, and the others were all men.

This made her feel a little overwhelmed.

"Sister Qian, relax, I'm here!"

"You must swim at your own pace, don't worry, no matter how far behind, I can pull it back!"

This is the confidence of the world record holder in the 100-meter butterfly event.

"Okay!"

"You must catch up, Sister Xuan is still waiting for you to win!"

The last baton was Yang Junxuan. If Chen Shu was not the first to pass the baton, the gold medal would basically be lost.

If he could create a 0.8-second advantage for her, he would be confident that he could win the championship.

Because Yang Junxuan and the last freestyle swimmer of the US team, Walsh, the world record holder of the 100-meter freestyle women, were only 0.6-0.8 seconds apart!

"Well, I'll try!"

"Try to pull more than 1 second ahead of Sister Xuan!"

Xu Jiayu: "..."

The three of them were like listening to a book from heaven.

"Okay, don't put pressure on yourself, just swim freely!"

"Believe in yourself, believe in our team, believe in the Chinese Swimming Team!"

After Xu Jiayu clapped his hands with the three of them, he jumped directly into the water.Chen Shu, Tang Qianting and the other two came to the shore of the second lane.

The Japanese team next to them greeted the three of them very friendly.

After Chen Shu gave a formal smile, he stood behind Tang Qianting and Yang Junxuan.

The battle was about to start.

Xu Jiayu and Murphy both swam two shots in a row, which was a big drain on their physical strength.

Moreover, they had 100-meter backstroke competitions in the morning and afternoon today, so their conditions were not very good.

But the others were actually similar, so they all participated in the competition.

Ding——

The electric whistle of the last game of the 2024 Swimming World Cup in Shanghai sounded, and Niu Yinhao's voice also roared out.

"The game begins!"

Pop!

Xu Jiayu flipped into the water with a look of determination on his face.

The last game!

Hold the position for the last game.

Even though he was exhausted, he could still swim to his full potential for the gold medal and honor.

This is the Chinese swimmer. At some point, faith is stronger than willpower.

So, he was the first to complete the 25-meter underwater turn, and he swam faster than Murphy.

"Brother Turtle is really great!"

"Brother Turtle!"

"Go!"

Tang Qianting and Yang Junxuan were also shouting desperately. The female players were more excited than the male athletes.

"Xu Jiayu's speed is now consistent with Ryan Murphy of the American team. The two are worthy of being the top two in the world in this event. There is almost no difference between the two, and Xu Yu is a few more centimeters ahead!"

"This is almost negligible in a swimming competition..."

"But Murphy was always very tight. He wanted to try to surpass Xu Jiayu, but Xu Jiayu's shot was very high. It can be seen that he has tried his best!"

"This may be the reason why Chinese athletes are more inspiring than athletes from other countries. They are fighting for honor, themselves and the team!"

Plop——

In the end, Xu Jiayu completed the handover with Tang Qianting, the second runner, with a lead of 0.03 seconds.

This advantage is actually almost negligible. After entering the water and standing up, Fink of the American team has already surpassed Tang Qianting.

In the backcourt of the entire Chinese swimming team, everyone was sweating for Tang Qianting.

What they are most worried about is definitely the performance of the second runner Tang Qianting.

She is the only female breaststroke player among the 9 countries in the finals. Even if she is the world's number one, she still can't compare with the male breaststroke.

So her shot must be the last one! (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

But how far behind is the key.

As long as it is within 8 seconds, everyone can accept it.

9 seconds, it's actually OK.

But if it's 10 seconds, it depends on what kind of interval Chen Shu, the third runner, can swim!

Swish——[]

Tang Qianting swam hard in the pool, and the waves of the male players around her squeezed her again and again, making her feel really uncomfortable.

Fortunately, as a world champion, she has a lot of combat experience.

The rhythm is always maintained very well.

Australia, Britain, Japan... breaststroke players surpassed her one by one, but Tang Qianting was unmoved and swam her own way.

"Too fast!"

"This men's breaststroke, Fink's speed is 0.1 m/s faster than Tang Qianting!"

"Submarine, hold on!"

Everyone clenched their fists, cheering for Tang Qianting, while staring at the lonely figure on the big screen.

Tang Qianting is currently in last place. In front of her is a player from the Dutch team, who is nearly 5 meters away from her, while Fink from the American team has completed the last turn.

The gap is so outrageous.

This is the male and female breaststroke, the swimming style with the largest gender gap in swimming events.

"Because the Chinese team's swimming lineup is different from that of other countries, it is currently in last place, but Chen Shu, the third runner, is facing female butterfly swimmers, so he should have an absolute chance of winning!"

"So wait and see, we are waiting for Chen Shu, the third runner, to complete the feat of catching up with seven!"

"He has already started warming up and is standing at the relay. It can be seen that he should be very confident!"

As soon as Niu Yinhao finished speaking, Fink, the breaststroke player of the American team, had completed the handover of the third runner.

Husk, the world's number one in the women's 100-meter butterfly, fell into the water instantly.

Then, it was Australia.

One country after another completed the handover, and China looked at Tang Qianting, who was still 5 or 6 meters away from the finish line, and couldn't help cheering for her.

Swimming in the same lane with the male breaststroke swimmers was indeed very stressful.

She was able to finish at her own pace, which was already very good enough.

"Brother Shu, I leave it to you!"

"Go ahead!"

"Turn on your sprint mode!"

Xu Jiayu, who was exhausted from swimming the first leg and almost lying in the pool, finally recovered a little and patted Chen Shu on the shoulder.

Chen Shu said nothing, looking at Tang Qianting who was about to reach the edge, his body had already jumped into the water like a flying fish.

Tang Qianting just happened to reach the edge at this time.

In the relay race, there can be no error of 0.1 seconds between the batons reaching the edge and taking off.

If it exceeds, it will be considered a foul; if it is within 0.1 seconds, it will be considered qualified.

That is to say, if Tang Qianting did not reach the edge and Chen Shu jumped, the difference between the two was within 0.1 seconds, it would be considered a successful relay.

0.09 seconds!

A very extreme number, Chen Shu and Tang Qianting completed a perfect handover of extremes.

"Brother Turtle, give me a hand, I really can't do it anymore!"

Tang Qianting wailed at Xu Jiayu when she reached the finish line. She was really swimming with all her strength, just like Xu Jiayu.

1 minute 02 seconds 18!

Finally, Tang Qianting's second baton time jumped out, and everyone in the backcourt of the entire Chinese swimming team cheered.

A very good baton interval result.

You should know that the short-course world record for women's 100-meter breaststroke is 1 minute 02 seconds 36. Tang Qianting's interval is faster than the world record. Although she lacks the reaction time of entering the water at the start, this result is still extremely excellent.

"Fink is 55.20 seconds, only 7.16 seconds behind!"

"Add to that the 0.03 seconds of the turtle, and we are only 7.13 seconds behind!"

Everyone reacted quickly.

The gap of more than 7 seconds is a time that can be caught up. It depends on how fast Chen Shu, the third leg, can swim.

At this time, Chen Shu had just completed the first underwater turn of the third leg, and almost reached the 25-meter edge at the same time as the female Dutch player next to him, but after turning, the female player was already nearly 2 meters behind!

It's so exaggerated.

One is that the male player has strong underwater kicking power, and the other is that Chen Shu's underwater turn is more than 0.8775 seconds faster than her.

The two add up to a gap of 2 meters.

And at this time, Chen Shu has already started the master-level sprint!

The craziest 75-meter chase is about to take place.

"Chen Shu surpassed the Dutch player Kiratusan and is charging towards the seventh-placed German team!"

"Oh, he surpassed. Chen Shu surpassed the seventh-placed player in less than a second!"

"He raised his legs, and his speed was much faster than the other female players in the entire pool!"

"He was like teleporting, closing the distance between him and the other female players at high speed every second!"

"Hahaha, do the female players feel the pressure from the butterfly stroke devil?"

1 second, 2 seconds, 5 seconds!

1, 2, 3!

Chen Shu surpassed the fourth-placed player in 5 seconds.

This flying sprint speed also stunned the audience and netizens.

After 50 meters, Chen Shu tied with the fourth-placed Canadian women's 100-meter butterfly swimmer Maggie McNeil, who is the world record holder for the women's 100-meter butterfly short pool!

But it was useless.

After turning around 50 meters underwater, she looked at the two big feet in front of her desperately, which kept beating the waves like propellers.

Chen Shu was already a full body ahead of her.

In front of him, only Molly from Australia and Husk from the United States who was in first place were left!

Less than 50 meters left!

Everyone has started to mourn for these two girls.

Chen Shu was like a cat and mouse. In the first straight of the third leg, he caught up with the Dutch team, and then in the 25 meters of the second straight, he surpassed 5 people!

In one straight, he surpassed 5 players.

"Overtake, Chen Shu!"

"Overtake one more!"

"Go!"

The audience was excited.

When they fell behind, they were worried about Tang Qianting.

But now Chen Shu's rapid surpassing of one opponent after another is simply exciting.

The key is that he surpassed 5 people in 25 meters of a straight!

What kind of terrifying strength is this?

"It's terrible!"

"Anyone who swims with Chen Shu will probably despair!"

"This speed is scary for men, not to mention female players!"

Zhang Yufei said with lingering fear, and at this time, Molly, who was in second place in the pool, was horrified to find that waves were coming from behind her. She was right in front of Chen Shu, so the feeling was extremely strong.

Chen Shu was like a destroyer, swimming towards her fiercely.

From feeling the slap of the waves to feeling the surging waves all over her body, it took less than 1 second.

The next second, Chen Shu's huge figure had already arrived in front of her.

"Oh, God..."

Molly's body was shocked, and Chen Shu in her eyes slid away. The moment the waves rolled over, he seemed to have left!

2 seconds, from lagging behind to leading by half a body position

This is Chen Shu!

At this moment, he only has one last opponent left in front of him - Husk! .
