no.1——46.77!
The moment this time appeared on the first line, there was a pretty amazing letter above the red highlighted font—WR!
worldrecord, the abbreviation for world record.
And this time, obviously belonged to the first place, Pan Zhan Le.
“Damn, world record?!!!”
“Holy shit, Zhan Le just broke the world record casually!”
“This state, insanely fierce!!!”
“Too godly, this guy is definitely going to break the world record this time!”
“I can finally experience what it’s like to have a Bolt on the team. He’s completely freaking flying!”
Even Cui Deng Rong looked at the number 46.77 and was momentarily lost in thought.
Although this kind of time in the team’s training match doesn’t count, being able to swim this time during regular practice means he might be able to swim even better in the official competition.
Of course, he might also perform worse.
Or maybe, he might never reach this number in his lifetime.
China’s 100-meter sprinter, Su Shen, has secretly practiced and run a super amazing time of 9.75 seconds.
But he has never run under 9.80 seconds in competition.
But 9.83 is still incredibly godly.
The 100-meter legend, Bolt, is even more fierce.
It is said he ran under 9.3 seconds.
But he set the world record at 9.58 seconds!
It is actually normal for training times to exceed world records.
The difficulty lies in breaking through in official competitions.
Because you can practice many times, but there are only a few chances in competition.
Creating miracles within this limited time is still quite difficult.
But the ability to create miracles means that it is achievable.
Those like Wang Hao Yu, who can’t even break the record during practice, will have a much harder time exploding in the official competition than Pan Zhan Le, who frequently breaks world records.
“46.77, that’s a full second faster than Wang Hao Yu in second place!”
Wang Hao Yu in second place is also very fierce, he swam under 48 seconds.
His 100-meter freestyle time was 47.93 seconds, which is also one of his rare good results.
The most shocking thing for the entire crowd, besides Pan Zhan Le breaking the world record, was Chen Shu in third place.
48.20!
Chen Jun Er was faster than just now, 48.40, but he was still 0.2 seconds behind Chen Shu.
As for Ji Xing Jie in fifth place, let alone, he also swam faster than his first attempt.
But the gap with Chen Shu widened from 0.1 seconds to 0.45 seconds!
He was completely dizzy.
“Again!”
Ji Xing Jie refused to believe it.
Damn it, he clearly swam faster and was in better condition than just now.
This little kid is even more fierce, he improved by 0.5 seconds? !
What kind of crazy improvement is this.
Normally, improving by 0.1 seconds in a month is enough to brag about for a while, but this guy, he improved by 0.5 in two rounds, this shows that his true strength was never what we saw in the first round.
Swimming, while not as difficult to improve in as the 100-meter sprint, for example, many track and field athletes never get close to breaking the 10-second barrier and hitting 9.99, still requires years of hard work.
Improving by 0.1 seconds is truly a very difficult feat.
But here, Chen Shu casually just improved by 0.5 seconds, he’s like freaking Pan Zhan Le back in the day.
Improving by a level every month.
“48.20, even Pan Zhan Le at 13 wasn’t this fast, was he?”
“No, Pan Zhan Le was only just breaking into the 48-second range at 15, Chen Shu just broke through the 49-second barrier two months ago, now he’s broken the 48-second barrier, this progress is too fast!”
“Test him again, maybe we need to change the 100-meter relay team!”
Cui Deng Rong said that, his eyes flickering.
This is the advantage of young athletes, they are still in their developmental period, anything is possible, unlike adults, every 0.1 second improvement is very difficult.
Pan Zhan Le improved by over 2 seconds during his developmental period without any difficulty.
And boys are different from girls.
The changes in girls’ bodies during their developmental period affect their swimming style and rhythm, making them slower; for boys, they just go up, because their height, muscles, etc. are all increasing.
Everyone in the audience obviously saw that Chen Shu was in better shape during both matches.
But how to put it, training matches don’t mean anything.
The focus is on the official competition, the goal is to make sure you can advance.
So young athletes are very likely to get nervous or stage fright during their first major competition.
Especially Chen Shu, he’s only 13, he’s one of the youngest Olympic swimmers ever.
However, at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, Li Zhe Si also made the national team at the age of 13.
He became the youngest swimmer to compete at the Olympics at that time, only two months older than Chen Shu.
He performed poorly on his home turf.
The Olympics, this is the highest level competition in the world, the pressure is unimaginable.
So, Cui Deng Rong’s heart was quite hesitant at this moment.
……..
Meanwhile, Chen Shu once again received the beautiful notification sound of his system rewards.
This team selection competition was simply a way to get experience in bulk, Chen Shu loved these events, he wished he could compete ten matches a day.
Ding!
【Congratulations, Host, for achieving third place in the Paris Olympics 100*4 freestyle relay team selection competition, rewarding 200 experience points!】
【Through persistent attempts and efforts, you have unlocked a new skill—Entry Reaction!】
【Entry Reaction lv0】：Beginner, provides an additional 0.1-second reaction boost, higher level means faster reaction.
Shua!
Chen Shu didn’t care about the 200 experience points, instead, his eyes looked towards the Entry Reaction ranking.
Pan Zhan Le was in first place with 0.65 seconds, while he was 0.83, last place.
The other athletes were mostly hovering between 0.6 and 0.7 seconds.
He was undoubtedly the worst.
In swimming competitions, the starting entry reaction time is also a key factor in winning.
The starting reaction time refers to the time from when the athlete hears the starting whistle to the actual start of the jump.
Jumping too early can lead to elimination or penalties.
And a reaction time that is too long may result in losing valuable opportunities.
FINA regulations state that the starting reaction time limit for swimming competitions is 0.10 seconds.
Therefore, athletes need to react quickly after hearing the starting signal to fully utilize the advantage of the jump.
Generally, the most elite swimmers have reaction times in the range of 0.5-0.6 seconds.
“So these 200 experience points, should I upgrade Entry Reaction or Acceleration?”
Master level Sprint needs 1000 experience points for every minor level, Chen Shu definitely doesn’t have enough.
And Underwater Turn hasn’t reached a major stage, that is, the improvement from beginner to intermediate, intermediate to advanced, so it actually has limited impact on the final result.
Unless it upgrades at once.
If Underwater Turn can go from intermediate to advanced, then Chen Shu would definitely upgrade it.
But now he’s only rewarded 200 points, it’s definitely best to maximize experience gains.
After all, the competition is tomorrow, any improvement in performance is good.
In the end, Chen Shu chose to upgrade Acceleration.
【Acceleration lv12】：Intermediate, provides an additional 24 seconds of acceleration time, higher level means longer acceleration time.
This skill gains several seconds of added acceleration time for each level.
And major stages will double it.
For example, Beginner level Acceleration only gains 1 second for each level.
But Intermediate is 2 seconds!
Advanced, Chen Shu guesses it should be 3-5 seconds.
This way, each level upgrade will result in a significant improvement in Chen Shu’s final score.
For example, in the upcoming 100-meter freestyle, Chen Shu originally needed to activate acceleration after the 50-meter turn, now he should be able to do it at 40 meters….because he gained an additional 2 seconds of acceleration time.
The entire 100-meter swimming segment takes 48 seconds, with 10 seconds of sprinting, then acceleration can undoubtedly be activated earlier.
24+10, 34 seconds.
Previously it was 22+10!
And Acceleration and Sprint skills can even be combined.
It will have a 1+1 greater than 2 effect.
Chen Shu has already tried this before, so he usually starts halfway through, so the final 10 seconds of sprinting actually also have the effect of acceleration.
So, this is why Chen Shu chose to upgrade his Acceleration skill.
This skill is the most helpful for improving his performance in the future.
Clap clap clap!
Cui Deng Rong started clapping after the eight athletes rested for a moment.
Obviously, the third trial of the team selection, the final chance, is about to begin.
Chen Shu glanced at Wang Hao Yu, who was not far away.
For this second seed in the team, Chen Shu really wanted to see who would be faster in the next match, him or Wang Hao Yu!
Chen Shu had already completely disregarded Chen Jun Er, the third seed, and Ji Xing Jie, the fourth seed.
Now, he is ready to launch an attack on the second place!
