Ye Shaohua lowered her eyes and pulled her hand tendons, trying to stretch her body.
Waiting for the relay race in the afternoon.
This relay race was very important to her. She only had one chance in the whole field.
This task was different from the previous ones. If she missed this one, she would have to wait for another four years.
So, she could only succeed this time. She had to bet everything on this one throw!
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, Ye Shaohua's group finally arrived for the freestyle relay race.
The commentator was commentating passionately on the spot.
Su Xiao sat on a chair to rest. The chief coach and Coach He were whispering about Su Xiao's upcoming training, not caring about the schedule of the four of them.
"Hello, everyone … Now we can see that the first eight swimmers are already waiting …" The commentator was a Merican. He first introduced the first swimmers on each track.
Then, they waited quietly for the referee to blow the whistle and then the gun to go off.
Mei Jiamin was the first swimmer, Liu Ke was the second, Shang Yihan was the third, and Ye Shaohua was the fourth.
Although they didn't want to admit it, it was true that Hua women's freestyle was weaker than other countries'.
Not to mention that the first three swimmers weren't outstanding internationally. The first swimmer was three seconds behind the first and 0.35 seconds behind the seventh.
Don't underestimate 0.85 seconds.
In this kind of international competition, 0.001 seconds could determine your ranking.
Because every swimmer was the best in their country, even if they were worse, the difference wouldn't be too big!
One second could make a difference of three rankings.
In the last World Championship, the first place in the 200m freestyle was 153.1458, and the second place was 153.5216. This showed how big the difference of one second was.
After Liu Ke came out, he was three seconds behind the first place.
Another three seconds behind the first place, adding up to six seconds.
He was one point 27 seconds behind the seventh place.
Hua Nation's bullet screen was unbearable.
"My God, you can't even compete with the N people. Why did the national team send you?"
"That's crazy!"
"So disappointing!"
"Hurry up and finish it. I just want to see Su Xiao. Thank you!"
The third swimmer was Shang Yihan.
When Shang Yihan went up, Ye Shaohua patted her on the shoulder. "Come on, don't be afraid. I'll help you get back if you fall."
Shang Yihan heard the words and looked at Ye Shaohua, then pulled down her goggles and stood on it.
After the handover with Liu Ke, the moment Shang Yihan fell into the water, there was nothing in her mind. Only Ye Shaohua looked at her pair of deep eyes — —
As for the ones that fall, I'll help you get them back!
At this moment, Shang Yihan didn't know where the courage came from, but a surge of strength gushed out from her bones. Her upper body dashed forward, and the only thought in her mind was that she would never drag the team down!
She felt that she had never felt so powerful before.
This time, Shang Yihan still didn't surpass the seventh place, but she fell to the eighth place by 0.08 seconds. However, the gap between her and the first place was still 8.88 seconds.
The top three were all great swimmers, and each of them was stronger than Shang Yihan.
Even if Shang Yihan managed to surpass him, she wouldn't be able to match their speed.
There was a gap of two seconds between first and second place.
The second and third places were the contestants from Merica and Australia respectively. The gap between them was only 0.45 seconds. It was very likely that they would overtake Merica in the final wave.
In the last leg, Ye Shaohua stood by the seventh lane and waited for Shang Yihan to come back.
Coach Xu patted her shoulder as a sign of encouragement before she entered the mall.
Hua Nation's bullet screen couldn't help but comment on it.
"Where's Su Xiao? How could it be Ye Shaohua? "
"What an eyesore!"
"Ye Shaohua! How can you participate in this kind of competition when you're so bad? You're nearly ten seconds behind the first place! "
If it weren't for Su Xiao, Hua Nation's results wouldn't have caused such a big reaction from the public.
However, it was precisely because of Su Xiao's comparison that Hua Nation's results looked very disgusting.
The audience had gone through their expectations, and then performed so poorly. Naturally, their disappointment was obvious.
"I think the women's swimming team should be disbanded except for Su Xiao!"
"Did you guys forget that Ye Shaohua was the one who fought for the World Championship? Let's wait and see. Maybe a miracle will happen. "
"As people from Hua Nation, it's fine if we don't cheer for them, but there's no need to slander a group of people who bring glory to our country, right?"
"Can you believe in Ye Shaohua?"
Everyone in the audience had some expectations for Hua Nation's swimming team.
That was why they couldn't help but curse when Hua Nation's swimming team kept ranking seventh.
Ye Tongtong, who was watching the live broadcast at the Ye house, couldn't help but laugh when she saw that Ye Shaohua's only relay race was ranked eighth.
Especially the bullet screen comments that urged Ye Shaohua to quickly get off the stage and replace her with Su Xiao.
"That's it, Ye Shaohua. This kind of ranking is very compatible with you. Grandpa is already prepared to remove your qualifications as the successor …"
On the field, it was already the last leg!
The last leg was very important. It was filled with the best people from each country.
When the commentator introduced the last person, he would emphasize the introduction.
"The second track is Betsy from Country E. She once broke the world record for the 200-meter freestyle with a time of 152.1458 seconds. This time, we're very much looking forward to Betsy's performance!"
The camera even focused on Ye Shaohua's face. The commentator still had some impression of her. "This contestant from Hua Nation is Ye Shaohua, who successfully squeezed out the contestants from Country H, Country L, and other countries. I'm also very much looking forward to her performance this time."
"However, we're still looking forward to Betsy from Country E. She's on stage!"
This was the first time that the commentator introduced an athlete from Hua Nation before the contestants had even dived.
One had to know that during the first three, they did not introduce Ye Shaohua at all.
From this, it could be seen how eye-catching her original performance in the international competition was!
Hearing the commentator's words, Su Xiao also heard it. She was originally listening to the head coach, but when she heard the commentator introduce Ye Shaohua, she glanced at Ye Shaohua, who was standing by the pool, expressionlessly.
Looking forward to Ye Shaohua's performance?
