In the distant Moon Shadow Kingdom, there were quite a number of viewers watching the live broadcast of this match on television.
Although they knew that the chances of winning a medal were slim, the most important thing was to participate. Qin Li successfully advancing to the finals was already beyond many people's expectations.
Beep!
The match began!
The so-called medley was based on the order of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle, each swimming a quarter of the distance. This required a high level of all-round swimming. In addition to knowing all four strokes, one must also be at the top level. If one wanted to get good results, one must also be outstanding in one event.
Different from freestyle and butterfly events, medley was more complicated and had high requirements for the athlete. If he dragged his feet in any one event, he might lose the whole game.
As the competition began, the stadium gradually became lively.
Qin Li had been holding back his strength in the preliminaries, waiting for this moment. Therefore, he did not hold back at all from the beginning. He, who was in the fourth lane, performed very strongly at the beginning. When he was about 50 meters away, he was already half a body ahead of the second place, Hagino Kosuke! Moreover, the distance between the two of them was still increasing!
" Hagino-kun actually fell behind!?"
"Who is that guy? He actually swam so fast?"
Qin Li had been leading by half a body from the start, and the gap was getting wider and wider. This made the Japanese audience in the stadium lose their composure.
This was the competition that Japan had the most hope of winning today!
"Don't panic, it's only 1/4 of the time. Hagino-kun's strengths are the backstroke and freestyle. He'll definitely be able to overtake us in the backstroke.”
" Yeah, I think that guy is only good at the butterfly stroke…"
However, before the Japanese could finish his sentence, he was already silent…
This was because when they entered the second stage, which was the backstroke, the distance between Hagino Kunsuke and Qin Li did not close. Instead, it widened. By the time the backstroke ended, he was already one body behind Qin Li…
The distance of one body could be said to be very large.
Hagino Kosuke, who was in the third lane, was also in disbelief. Backstroke…that was his strong suit!
In the first stage of the butterfly stroke, Hayino Kusuke knew that he was half a body behind Qin Li, but he didn't care too much at that time. After all, the butterfly stroke was not his strong suit. His strong suit was the backstroke in the second stage and the freestyle in the fourth stage.
At that time, he had naively thought that he would be able to shorten the distance between him and Qin Li in the second stage of the backstroke, or even overtake him.
But…in the end, not only did he overtake them, he even pulled further and further away…
This was somewhat unacceptable to Hayino Kusuke.
"Oh my god…is this guy still human? The backstroke is even faster than the butterfly…"
"Are we going to break the record?"
"I don't think so…"
The Olympic and world records for the men's 400m individual medley were both held by the famous American athlete," Fisherman " Phelps. Phelps had set the record in the 2008 Yanjing Olympics. It had been eight years since then, but no one had been able to break it.
Some people even joked that no one in the world could break this record, unless it was " Phelps " himself.
Although it was a joke, it was enough to show how difficult it was to break the world record set by Phelps.
In the next breaststroke, Qin Li was still as strong as ever. He once again pulled away from Hagino Kusuke, who was in second place. Such a huge gap had caused all the Japanese in the stadium and countless Japanese watching on TV to despair.
There was still less than 100 meters between them. How could they chase after him?
Not to mention chasing, it was already good enough to maintain this position and not be pulled away by Qin Li.
Moon Shadow Kingdom
At this moment, it was completely boiling.
There were only 100 meters left, and he was more than a body length ahead of the second place, Hagino Kusuke. It was almost impossible to catch up! The first gold medal of the Moon Shadow Kingdom! It was about to be born!
Ever since the Moon Shadow Kingdom had participated in the Olympics, they had never won a gold medal. The best result they had was only two silver and three bronze medals.
An Olympic gold medal was something that countless people from the Moon Shadow Kingdom did not even dare to think about.
The two hosts in the live broadcast station were already teary-eyed, and they were so excited that they were incoherent.
"Mom, don't be so busy. Come over quickly! Our country is going to win the gold medal!"
"What gold medal?"
"The Olympic gold medal, of course! Hurry up! If you miss this scene, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!”
"Grandpa, quickly switch to the sports channel! Watch the Olympics!"
"Child, what's so good about sports? I like to watch sports.”
"Our country is going to win the gold medal! Hurry up! Otherwise, it'll be too late!"
"What, gold medal?"
Before he could finish his sentence, the channel was switched to the sports channel.
On the screen, Qin Li had already begun his final 50-meter sprint!
Compared to the hustle and bustle before the start of the competition, the Olympic Aquatic Center was eerily quiet.
If everyone doesn't like to watch the Olympics, I'll end it as soon as possible and return to the Moon Shadow Kingdom. Finally, please collect it ~
