"Big Country Sports (

Arsenal did not make any big moves in the summer. Most of the staff adjustments were carried out in their own youth training echelon. Future stars and capable players such as Martin Keon, Tony Adams, Michael Thomas, David Rocastle, etc. Officially promoted to the first team this season, they will all get more playing time.

But after mid-August, the popularity of football in various places has declined. During this time, the biggest sports hotspot is "swimming", and the biggest focal point in swimming is naturally Shen Lang, who has the title of "Prince and Emperor of Swimming". Up.

Shen Lang is known as the "Prince of Swimming" in China, mainly because he is not very old. Shen Lang, who was born in 1966, is actually only 20 years old. The prince is naturally a more suitable nickname.

However, according to Western media reports, Shen Lang, who has won six championships in a single Olympic Games, broke his own record for the first swimmer in every competition. Of course, he has to be called the "Emperor".

If the football kings are divided into different eras, then Shen Lang's performance in recent years is the unprecedented first person since the birth of swimming.

This year’s Fifth World Swimming Championships will be held in Madrid, Spain. In addition to swimming, diving, and high platform diving, women’s water polo has also become an official event. A total of 1,253 athletes participated in the competition. The Chinese swimming team sent 42 People participated in most formal projects.

China naturally attaches great importance to this team of swimming teams going to Spain, but it is still not as good as the Men's Basketball World Championship to be held in September, or even the Men's Basketball World Club Cup in August.

However, in the news and public opinion in Europe and the United States, the influence of this swimming team, with the blessing of Shen Lang, is actually more valued than the Chinese men's basketball team.

The performance of the Chinese swimming team is worthy of this attention. The diving event is the first for this World Championships, and this is also one of the main events for China to win gold in the Olympics.

For the women’s team, 16-year-old rookie Gao Min won the women’s three-meter springboard championship, her 582.42 points also became the highest score in the history of the World Championships; 17-year-old Chen Lin won the women’s ten-meter springboard championship; Gao Minhe 14-year-old Li Qing also won a silver medal in the women's three-meter double springboard; 14-year-old Yan Yingying and 15-year-old Ding Feng won bronze medals in the women's double platform.

The men’s team did not pull their hips this time. The 10,000-year-old second Tan Liangde finally won the three-meter springboard competition before retiring; Li Kongzheng won the men’s 10-meter platform championship.

In addition to the newly joined women's water polo event, the Chinese women's water polo team also won a bronze medal after their debut.

These results prove that the Chinese diving team was not a short-lived in the Olympic Games two years ago, but their outstanding performance did not attract too much attention, because the attention of water sports was basically in swimming.

And when it comes to swimming, the focus of the world will automatically fall on one person, who of course is Shen Lang!

In this World Swimming Championships, everyone is concerned about how many events Shen Lang will participate in? How many gold medals can he get? Will you break the world record you set again?

Shen Lang himself didn't care about these very much. What he was most satisfied with was the random inspection of this World Championship.

During the entire World Championships, the World Anti-Doping Agency only sampled him three times, but it should be known that this was based on the premise that he participated in a full 7 competitions. Therefore, the frequency of random inspections was higher than before and after every game in the Olympic Games. Urine is much better at once.

The FINA and the World Anti-Doping Agency are of course not so easy to talk about, but it occurred to Shen Lang that he had not won the six gold medals two years ago, and Shen Lang obviously did not go all out at the Asian Swimming Championships in June this year. He once again won the personal championships in 6 projects, and once again broke his own world record by a slight advantage, knowing that this guy is unlikely to fight drugs.

Of course, the protests of Chinese football at the World Cup, the occupation of FIFA by alien fans, and the "unexpected deaths" that made a lot of noise, each made FINA and the World Anti-Doping Agency dare not. Then deliberately embarrass Shen Lang, because these are lessons from the past!

Those alien fans are terrible, but fans of the swimming emperor are not easy to mess with.

Another identity of their swimming emperor, but the world-renowned cartoonist, his fans may not be worse than aliens!

But the main thing is that Shen Lang can’t find any tricks. Take this World Championships as an example, the International Anti-Doping Agency has officially launched new detection technology, but it turns out that Shen Lang has nothing to do. Instead, the United States and the Soviet Union have two Germans. Players from Australia, Britain, Canada and other countries have been found to be tricky, and many famous players showed their feet in this World Championships.

This makes FINA very embarrassed, especially in the men's 100m freestyle final, there was a rare situation where only 6 people participated, because two seeded players were disqualified because of the previous test positive.

But for those who only focus on Shen Lang, these episodes are not even counted, because the emperor participates in the competition, no matter whether other people's results are good or bad, the final champion will be the same name. , And the gap will be so big that it is impossible to recover even if you take drugs.

In the Olympic Games two years ago, Shen Lang reduced the world record for the 100-meter freestyle to 48.52 seconds. At the Pan Pacific Swimming Championships last year, he further shortened the record to 48.40 seconds. In the past few years, he has also reduced the record in Asian competitions. The record increased to 48.31 seconds, and this time he set a new record of 48.04 seconds.

As for the second place, his performance is still a gap between Shen Lang two years ago, only 48.74 seconds, this 0.7 second gap in the 100-meter race is already a step behind.

Shen Lang has always broken his own record in every competition, so the world record of the 200m freestyle was shortened by him to 1:44.38.

In addition, in the 100-meter and 200-meter butterfly events, he also shortened the new world record to 52.03 seconds and 1:55.82.

There is also a 200-meter medley, and he also shortened the new record to 1:58.51 again, giving no chance to touch the taillights.

But if only these five events win the championship, I am afraid that it will not be able to cause too much shock. After all, he won the six games in the Olympic Games two years ago and the Pan Pacific Swimming Championships a year ago, including the Tokyo Swimming Invitational. A gold medal, and can break his previous record.

Now if you still use the same script, or even miss a 400-meter medley, everyone will be somewhat aesthetically tired.

Shen Lang himself knew this, so he cancelled the 400-meter medley at this World Championships, but over-reported the individual events of the 100-meter breaststroke and 100-meter backstroke and played a true tetraathlon.

Now the Japanese and the British are depressed, because the best players in these two events in the past two years are Japan's Suzuki Dadi and the British David Mulhouse.

But since these two pieces of gold have been favored by the swimming emperor, naturally there is nothing else to do.

In the first 100-meter breaststroke, Shen Lang set a new world record of 1:01.09 in one fell swoop, which directly shortened the original world record by as much as 0.5 seconds.

This situation is similar in the 100-meter backstroke. Shen Lang also successfully shortened the new record to 52.40 seconds, bringing the best result of the event to within 53 seconds for the first time.

Now even the FINA does not think there is any problem with Shen Langneng. The biggest reason is his dominance!

This swimming emperor is truly talented beyond the era. Everyone can see that he has been improving. Not only will he break his world record every time he is in the competition, but the most terrifying thing is that everyone can see him every time. In the sprint phase, there is a clear deceleration behavior.

Then think about it one more level. Not only did he participate in one or two events, but this time he broke the record of participating in six events at the same time, participated in seven competitions alone, and finally won all of them in a record-breaking way.

This is really horrible. Swimming is such an energy-consuming competition. In the past, he registered for two or three events at the same time, but he alone won seven gold medals.

This makes people wonder. If he only signed up for one or two projects and went all out, would he be able to expand the world records of these two projects to an unbelievable level? Where is his limit?

These questions are worth pondering, but at least everyone understands a simple truth-he has never encountered an opponent, and no one can force him to use his full strength, so why use external forces to improve his performance? ?

Therefore, FINA is too lazy to always test him, so if you don't want to be embarrassed and end up with FIFA, it would be very bad!

During the World Championships, media all over the world were reporting on Shen Lang like a god, but he himself turned his attention to his teammates.

After Wu Jie became famous, he cared more about men's football, and Shen Lang also cared more about his swimming team.

The progress of the Chinese swimming team in recent years is also not trivial. There is a knock-on effect brought by his idol role, and Wu Jie also feeds back most of the income earned by Shen Lang to swimming events.

Wu Jie's eyes are more than just football. What he wants is that all sports in China are like football.

Shen Lang has used his income in recent years to help the Chinese swimming team cultivate and strengthen a group of newcomers.

Therefore, he is no longer a polished commander in this World Swimming Championships. Finally, a younger generation has begun to emerge behind him.

But what is more embarrassing is that the Chinese players who took the stage to receive the award at this World Championships are all female athletes except Shen Lang, and there is not even a male man.

The 15-year-old Qian Hong helped the Chinese swimming team win the first women's medal in the 100-meter butterfly final. She was also the first Chinese female swimmer to stand on the podium of the World Championships, even though she was only a bronze medal. But she is 15 years old enough to show her potential to the world.

The 14-year-old Zhuang Yong and Yang Wenyi are younger. Although they failed to get on the podium in their own projects, the results of the two girls in the finals are still worthy of attention in the industry.

The 16-year-old Huang Xiaomin performed better. She won a silver medal that broke history in the 100-meter breaststroke. In addition, in the 200-meter breaststroke, she only lost to East German stars Katherine and Bate by a small margin, but once again stood on the podium.

If these achievements are placed in front of Shen Lang, it is naturally difficult to look at them.

But in the eyes of professionals from all over the world, especially Japan, the former top swimming country in Asia, the performance of these young girls has seriously threatened them, and they even now have the level to beat Japanese female swimmers because of their skills. The results surpassed the Japanese players in this World Championships.

But there is one person who really made the whole world look at him again, and that person is naturally Zhang Tianxin, a true self.

On the podium for the 100-meter women's breaststroke, Huang Xiaomin stood in the runner-up position, but the one standing in the championship position was still not an outsider. There was still a Chinese athlete, and her name was Zhang Tianxin.

This is also a real person. Zhang Tianxin, who was born in 1972, was just 14 and a half years old. Normally, this age has just entered the period when female swimmers are beginning to show results, but winning the championship is still a miracle.

Generally speaking, male swimmers have to be at least 16 years old to start showing results. This is already a very precocious super genius.

However, female swimmers, due to their physical development advantages, can start to score as early as 14 years old, but it is true that Zhang Tianxin won the World Championships at the age of 14, or broke the world record by winning the championship. Some smell of Shen Lang.

The western media was really taken aback by Zhang Tianyun's age. In particular, after seeing her also reported three events in the 100-meter breaststroke, 100-meter backstroke, and 100-meter freestyle, how could he not think in the direction of Shen Lang?

But it was also because of Shen Lang's miracle before that, Zhang Tianyun shocked the world, and soon felt reasonable, because as long as he thinks of Shen Lang's opening performance since his debut, Zhang Tianxin will debut with a similar trajectory. It's no longer unacceptable.

Zhang Tianxin did not live up to her five-star talent. She not only won all the championships in the three projects, but also won all the championships by breaking the world record.

This is exactly the same as the trajectory of Shen Lang after his debut. The media all over the world can't help but raise a question: Why does the Chinese team have so many incredible talents?

This is true in football, basketball, volleyball, and now swimming is even more excessive, because this is equivalent to the birth of the "swimming king", and even the "swimming queen" will be produced in China.

This girl is only 14 years old. Everyone can see that her potential is far from being tapped. Maybe in the Olympic Games two years later, she can apply for five or six events alone like Shen Lang.

But this is not a presumption. The most speechless part of Zhang Tianyun is the same as Shen Lang, she is also deliberately retracting strength in the sprint stage.

This TM is too similar, right?

You're awesome, you're awesome, who are you looking down on deliberately for waterproofing?

Chinese sports obviously had no sense of existence ten years ago. How could it suddenly become known and shocked?

The Japanese media have also made overwhelming reports on Zhang Tianyun, but their reporting focus is not the same as that of the Western media. Most of the focus of the Japanese media is on Zhang Tianyun's appearance.

This is not surprising, Zhang Tianyun's appearance is very in line with the Japanese aesthetic.

She is not the kind that looks particularly beautiful. The round face with a little baby fat looks even a little too big, but the delicate features and cute eyes make her smile not only clear and sweet, but also very healing.

But this is not the full halo that attracts Asian fans. Zhang Tianyun's voice is as sweet as her own name.

This is a natural talent. What Wu Jie is most satisfied with is not her athletic talent. This thing can be bought through the system. What he is most satisfied with is actually Zhang Tianyun's natural sweet voice.

The voice of this little girl is like her name, sweet and mellow at the same time tactfully and softly, and it feels like a fusion of the characteristics of Teresa Teng and Yang Yuying.

At this time, with her sweet appearance, when she opens her mouth, it feels like eating candy ice cream, as if all the troubles can be forgotten, so you can imagine how much damage to men will be after the addition.

Wu Jie will naturally not let go of this natural good voice. Zhang Tianyun's tone conditions are not inferior to Yang Yuying, but she is even better in appearance. Coupled with the halo bonus of the future swimming queen, let’s not talk about it. Can't be a Britney like Britney recognized all over the world, at least in Asia, it is hard not to be popular.

Western media put their energy on two Chinese geniuses. Shen Lang, the swimming emperor, was enough to shock the world. Now there is another swimming queen.

In the future, in the swimming field, China is afraid that it will be able to compete with the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany, Australia and Canada, and may it even lead the world like football?

This time the World Championships already had such signs. The Chinese national team continued to perform well in diving events and started very high in water polo events. In the past, the biggest weakness in swimming is no longer only Shen Lang a polished commander.

This allowed the Chinese swimming team to finally take the third place in the gold medal list and the sixth place in the medal list of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com. Basically, it is already considered a powerhouse in indoor water sports.

This kind of performance has a great impact on the West, because even if Shen Lang became famous in the Olympics, the overall strength of the Chinese swimming team is limited to him, and the overall strength still cannot be compared with those traditional powers.

But this time, China is not only as simple as another swimming princess. What really makes the West pay attention to is that the Chinese swimming team has many athletes who can hit the gold medal.

These new stars are still very young, all born in the 70s, which means that their future results will definitely improve.

Of course, these new stars are all female athletes. At first glance, there is a feeling of prosperity and decline. Some Asian media use this to mock the Chinese swimming team. If there is no Shen Lang, it will become a team that can only rely on women. .

But a closer analysis will tell why this is happening. If the new generation of swimmers trained in China are all born in the 70s, then the age of these male athletes is now just fifteen or six years old.

Even if this age has the same talent as the female teammates of the same period, it is still not the age to be able to perform, because male swimmers must be at least 17 or 18 years old to begin to perform.

With such a calculation, the Seoul Olympics two years later can verify whether the Chinese swimming team really has a group of outstanding male athletes born in the 70s, and it is also the time for this group of female athletes to reach their peak.

At that time, whether the Chinese swimming team could surpass several traditional swimming powers in one fell swoop was already a question of fear in the Western media.

In other words, the sports talent displayed by this nation has already made many Western countries start to fear.

It has always been said that the yellow peril is the yellow peril. Will the so-called yellow peril be reflected in this way?
