Chapter 1936 Is This Really the Height that Humans Can Reach?
The 400-meter medley is indeed not Yun Hua's strength.
However, in her current state, her abilities are more than enough to make up for her technical shortcomings.
In the second 100 meters, the situation was already clear. Yun Hua and the second place were already separated by two positions, and the gap was still growing! This is incredible!
The short pool is 25 meters in length, and the standard long pool is 50 meters. Generally speaking, the long pool has greater influence in the world, and the targeted training of athletes in country Z is also aimed at the long pool.
Another problem is that because there are more turns in the short pool, it is more advantageous for players in Europe, America and Australia who have advantages in physical strength. However, for players from country Z who are slightly shorter and lack strength, the short pool is more advantageous. Chi was at a disadvantage.
Usually in short course competitions, European, American or Australian players take the lead, and Asian players rarely excel. However, the distance of 400 meters is already a medium to long distance, and it is a greater test of endurance. The most important thing for Z country athletes is endurance. Therefore, the 400-meter race can be regarded as the strong point of athletes from country Z, especially since country Z also has a talented girl Li Xingqi who is younger than Yun Hua.
So at this moment, this final is simply suffocating the audience watching the game around the world. What the hell, all three are from the Z country team. This... This kind of situation is simply unheard of in short-pool competitions, okay!
Yun Hua rode away from Juechen. Although Wen Shishi was pulled further and further away from Yun Hua, he was still ranked second. Li Xingqi, a talented girl who was two years younger than Yun Hua, was holding on to Wen Shishi and ranked second. Third and fourth is a Spanish player, one position behind Li Xingqi.
But at this moment, the other players were no longer important. The audience was surprised at first that the top three players were all players from Country Z, but then they discovered that Country Z seemed to be a bit too powerful against the first place player. …
Because by the time of the last round, she actually... surpassed the second place by a full track distance.
This is a world-class competition, and usually the gap between the players is not too big.
And looking at it this way...
Many viewers couldn't help but hold their breath, waiting for the last moment to arrive!
Yun Hua finished first, and her score was shown on the electronic display, 4 minutes, 08 seconds and 25 seconds!
A new world record is born.
It broke the world record of 4 minutes, 21 seconds and 04 set by athletes from China last year, which was a full 12 seconds and 79 seconds faster!
When the organizers announced the results of the previous world record and the new world record set by Yun Hua, the audience was already boiling.
This is simply...incredible!
The entire audience spontaneously burst into applause, calling themselves champions and heroes.
This is the charm of sports competition. Even if the races are different, even if the countries are different, the absolute strength will definitely conquer the world's audiences and gain the respect of the world!
Of course, another reason for this is that Yun Hua's record is too terrible, breaking the previous world record by more than 12 seconds. This... this is simply breaking the limits of human beings!
This world record is so amazing that the news that the second place Wen Shishi and the third place Li Xingqi are both from Z country is not so shocking. After all, although Wen Shishi and Li Xingqi won the second and third place respectively However, their results did not break any records, and the gap between them and fourth place was not big. Against the background of Yun Hua's amazing results, they would not look so impressive!
When I went to take a shower and change clothes, the backstage was already filled with joy.
The leader, coach, team doctor and staff of the Z country team were all going crazy. If they weren't afraid of accidentally injuring Yun Hua, they would have wanted to pick Yun Hua up and lift him high!
When Yun Hua came out of the water, Fan Zitong continued to sigh, "Oh my god, I can even imagine what the news will be like tomorrow. Other gold medals are nothing. You... are against the sky. Hua Hua , tell me honestly, have you been slacking off during training? I dare say, if you achieve this result in training, will the coach dare to report all the non-conflicting events to you?"
Yun Hua smiled and said, "I didn't expect to achieve this result."
"Tch, you didn't expect it? It's weird that you didn't expect it! The audience can't see it. You think I didn't see it. You were slow to take off. You haven't adapted to the first 100 meters, and you haven't picked up the speed yet. At the fourth 100 meters, it seemed that you were far ahead of Shishi, and you deliberately suppressed your speed. I really can’t imagine what results you could achieve if you tried your best!"
Yun Hua smiled lightly but said nothing.
This achievement is already astonishing, why should we try our best again? I'm afraid it won't scare the referee to death.
Sure enough, the organizing committee soon arranged for Yun Hua to undergo a urine test. Not only did they take urine samples, they even drew blood to ensure the test results.
In the area of urine testing, the organizing committee has always been very strict with country Z. There is no way, because these events are all decided by European and American countries. In fact, the history of doping in country M is even worse, but the ones that were seized are really Few, and in country Z, once a team member violates the rules, it will immediately be publicized by the Western media and known to the world, and he will be severely fined.
Not to mention how shocking Yun Hua's results were, even if he didn't break any records and only got first place, he would still be repeatedly checked for doping issues.
It doesn't matter if she checked it out, after all, this result is terrible, and there must be many, many people who suspect that she used excitement.
She is not afraid of inspections or sampling, but there are also things to pay attention to. For example, the organizing committee needs to ensure that the samples taken are really the athletes' samples and not substituted by others. The athletes also need to ensure that the samples sent for testing are indeed genuine. It's my own sample, it hasn't been mixed with anything, and it hasn't been changed by anyone.
This link has been tricked many times, and now the Z country team is also very rigorous, especially Yun Hua's results are enough to shock the world. They had suspected her of doping when they were in China, but no matter how they tested, they never found it. Any illegal drugs. She also ate with everyone at the base, and stimulant drugs usually don't last too long, and her results in training have always been stable, so Team Z itself believes that Yun Hua definitely did not use stimulants. Yes, but others won’t believe it easily.
It's okay to take samples from Yun Hua. This is a formal procedure, but the relevant staff of the Z National Team must ensure that there are no flaws in the samples sent for inspection!
In fact, such concerns are not unreasonable.
Just after Yun Hua's results came out, there were voices of doubt on the Internet.
"It improved the world record by 12.79 seconds. Is this really something that normal humans can achieve?"
