When the Oceania audience at the scene saw this scene, their first reaction was to question whether Gu Kun had committed a foul.

Because in their impression, no one has dived backstroke for that long.

In the 1950s and 1960s, there were Chinese breaststrokers who broke the 50-meter breaststroke world record and won the gold medal by swimming without breathing. They did this by pushing off the wall of the pool and swimming to the end in one breath, without coming up at all.

However, since that time, FINA has modified the rules of the competition. From now on, breaststroke is no longer allowed to take one breath and multiple strokes. Instead, it is necessary to float up and take a breath once.

However, laymen see the excitement, while insiders see the door.

The coaches and players of the Oceanic team on the field all knew that it was not possible to say that Gu Kun had committed a foul yet, and that further investigation was needed.

Because even so far, the rules only prohibit breaststroke and diving, while backstroke depends on the situation.

When backstroke is underwater, you can only rely on twisting your legs to provide power, so there is no advantage in backstroke swimming underwater for a long time.

If Gu Kun really allowed Schwenk and Ross to swim faster with their hands and legs than the opponent using both hands and feet, what would they have to object to?

In fact, Gu Kun finally surfaced, which shows that he cannot hold the opponent's arms for a long time. For the time being, he stretched his arms forward for a while, just because Gu Kun's body streamline resistance was small, and the initial push against the wall was not efficient.

high.

"Quickly retrieve the footage from the overhead camera! See if Gu Kun's arms are paddling when he's underwater!" the coach of the Oceanic team immediately ordered.

Gu Kun's movements while underwater were not clearly visible from the stands next to him due to the reflection of the water surface. Only a camera shot from directly above the swimming pool and looking down could make it clear.

In fact, they didn't have much expectations, because the referees were always watching the surveillance videos, and they would have called out if there were any problems.

The results came out quickly.

"Gu Kun was very honest. He kept his arms in front of him when he was underwater and did not paddle illegally."

This made everyone really frustrated for a few seconds. It showed that Gu Kun could paddle faster than Ross.

This guy didn't use his full strength at all! He still has some energy left!

Seeing this slightly contemptuous move towards the opponent, the morale of the Oceanic team's coaching staff was immediately hit.

The 100 meters is very fast, it only lasts about fifty seconds, and the argument is over after a few dazed sentences.

When he came to his senses, Gu Kun was already five or six meters ahead of Ross, seven or eight meters ahead of Schwenk, and reached the finish line.

Within the Oceanic team, Ross specializes in the 100 meters, and Schwenk specializes in the 200 meters. Of course, they both swim both distances, so this result is not surprising.

The Lanfang Islands easily won the gold medal, while the Ocean team suffered a defeat and only got the silver and bronze.

When it came to the final result, Rose had already performed extraordinary. He held his breath and swam a super result that was slightly 0.15 seconds better than Gu Kun's result in the final of the Fukuoka Universiade last year.

It's a pity that this super result came at the wrong time again, because he was 0.06 seconds slower than Gu Kun's record-breaking time in yesterday's Olympic preliminaries, and it was even more incomparable with Gu Kun's result today.

In the afternoon, the 200-meter race soon arrived. With Rose's failure as a foreshadowing, the top seed of the Oceanic Team in the 200-meter race in the afternoon, Schwenk, felt less psychologically stressed, and even failure did not seem so embarrassing.

In the end, the Ocean team performed stably, not surprisingly, with one silver and one bronze. Of course, the gold medal went to Gu Kun.

"Why! Why! When did those yellow people have greater speed and strength than white people!" Many Oceanic male spectators in the stands burst into tears.

There are many real water sports enthusiasts among them, and they never thought that in a certain Olympic Games, all men's individual events of the Oceania swimming team would have their heads shaved.

I believe that many viewers watching the live broadcast in front of the TV have complicated emotions that are difficult to express at the moment.

On the other side of the ocean, in China, Gu Kun's feats have obviously caught the attention of countless viewers. All his matches were broadcast live on CCTV.

Although more than one billion Chinese people know that Gu Kun's nationality is not Chinese, his ancestry is definitely Han Chinese. Of course, the Chinese people are proud of Gu Kun's every success.

…

However, opportunities always coexist with challenges.

After the 200-meter back final, before even waiting for the awards, Gu Kun was wearing only a pair of swimming trunks and was about to return to the locker room when he was stopped by a reporter from Fox TV.

Gu Kun noticed that there seemed to be a different reporter today, not the one that Fox usually sent to interview him.

This slight difference made Lao Jianghu Gu Kun feel that something had changed.

After a few polite greetings, the other party asked: "Gu, do you have anything to say about the recent rumors about the relationship between your grades and drugs?"

It turns out that in the outside media circle, some people have been spreading relevant rumors since the night before yesterday, ready to throw stones and set the pace to test the reaction.

But Gu Kun was more focused before the game, adjusting his own rhythm and not caring much about public opinion.

The Lanfang team has so few people. Apart from him, there is only one team leader, Luo Haili. Unlike other teams, there are press officers who monitor public opinion, so no one knows about it yet.

Gu Kun was obviously really surprised: "Are there any rumors about this? I'm sorry, I really don't know. But these issues have their own technical notarization, so I have nothing to comment on."

The reporter pursued him tactfully and asked: "Does that mean you insist on stating that you have not used illegal drugs?"

Gu Kun completely understood the other party's position. He couldn't help but put his hands on his hips: "Since someone is spreading rumors, it doesn't matter what I say. Just wait for the conclusion. I just want to say one thing:

On this planet, I mean, has the biomedical technology and biochemical technology of our earth civilization developed to such an advanced level? Can an ordinary person achieve my results by taking drugs?

Rumors stop with the wise. If you think this is possible, you can do a comparison experiment and find a competitor who won the silver medal under me, whether it is Gary Hall, or Ross, Schwenk, or even Lucia's wave

Either Bofu will do.

Even if you use the most powerful drugs in earth civilization to strengthen them, you have agreed in advance that it is just for science and an exemption experiment to see if they can reach my level after strengthening.

As long as it works through physiological and chemical principles, instead of directly making artificial humans and transforming people like in Japanese animation, I don’t think any human being can swim faster than me. This is not something that drugs can do. This is the best

answer."

The Fox reporter looked confused.

This interview footage is still being broadcast live!

He was completely shocked, how could anyone say such arrogant words.

"You...you mean, you think your results are impossible for others to achieve even if they use banned substances? Are you really saying that?"

Gu Kun patted the opponent on the shoulder: "I do have the idea of ​​conserving my physical strength now, but it's not because I want to break my competitive spirit and break several world records. It's just because I have to participate in many events and I have to maintain my physical strength.

But now that those despicable and vicious rumormongers have succeeded in irritating me, I will make some adjustments. By the time I get to the last few projects, you will understand what I mean!”

…

"He thinks other people who take medicine are not as good as him?"

When they saw this interview response on TV, the coaching staff of the Oceanic team, including Daniel, were also astonished from ear to ear.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case.

After all, the current performance of the Oceanic team is more or less with the help of "legal asthma medicine". This is no longer the performance of normal people. They are using all means to tap their potential.

Even if it is opened again, the level of improvement cannot reach the level of 10 meters faster in 200 meters.

But Gu Kun's performance in the 200 meters was more than 10 meters faster than the Oceanic team's top seed in the event, Schwenk!

Do people still use medication?

Gu Kun has a saying that is both rude and reasonable.

Instead of doubting that I am taking medicine, you should do a whole-body CT and MRI first to confirm that I am not an artificial person, a biochemical person or an adjuster.

"What's the feedback from public opinion?" Daniel asked through gritted teeth.

"Public opinion is also in an uproar, but they generally support Gu Kun. Everyone thinks that he is already a hero on a human level, a person who has created history and human limits. They think this is obviously not a height that can be achieved by taking medicine."

"Many TV stations conducted street interviews to investigate this issue. When the vast majority of interviewees mentioned this issue, they believed that other people could not eat as much as Gu Kun no matter how they ate."

Several group coaches and assistants truthfully summarized and reported the collected information.

"Fortunately, we didn't act rashly, otherwise even if we were framed by fabricating evidence, it would have greatly damaged our image and put us in a quagmire." Daniel sighed, secretly congratulating himself.

Unfortunately, he did not rejoice for long. The coach next to him, who had warned him to be cautious before, reminded him again: "Head coach, Gu Kun said something during the interview, saying that he would let the rumor mongers succeed in angering him...

…How do you think he will fight back? How can we guard against it?”

Coach Daniel was stunned: "Counterattack? After the 100-200-meter competition, our Ocean team has no seed players to compete with him in the remaining events. How can he counterattack? Even if he counterattacks, it will only prevent us from getting it.

Gold medal, we can’t have any other losses.”

The group coach who reminded him couldn't understand and could only agree: "I hope this matter ends here. We did useless work from the beginning. There are only some long-distance events and relay races left. There is really no risk...

…”

In the 1996 Olympics, because many famous swimmers signed up for multiple events, the organizing committee left the long-distance competition until the end in order to allocate everyone's physical strength.

In this way, everyone can call it a day after the tour and can do their best without worrying about being exhausted the day before and not performing at their best later on.

In racing events, white people do not have such a clear advantage when competing for endurance. Because endurance events require relatively short stature, people with lighter weight have an advantage.

Just like Sun Yang of China in later generations, who can steadily win the championship in the 1,500-meter freestyle. It is also like the current Chinese female general Wang Junxia who can win a rare track and field racing gold medal in the women's 5,000-meter run.

Daniel had seen the schedule. In the 400-meter event, the Ocean team had several rookies running with him, but in the 1,500-meter event, no one could advance to the finals. It was impossible for these people to conflict with Gu Kun.

He regarded the matter as a matter of course and refocused his attention on the key to the Oceanic team's gold medal: the two-team relay gold medal competition.

After another three days of intense competition, the Ocean team managed to win two precious gold medals in the men's team relay race - namely the 4x100m freestyle relay and the 4x100m medley relay.

Even though all individual events were wiped out, these two relay gold medals finally saved the bottom line.

While the Oceanic team was busy preparing for the gold medal, Gu Kun also quietly won another gold medal in the 200-meter mixed event. This was his eighth gold medal in this Olympic Games.

Finally, only endurance races of 400 meters and above remain.

Daniel feels that he has stabilized and will not conflict with Gu Kun anymore. If Gu Kun wants to humiliate those hot-tempered sparring players of the Ocean Team to vent his anger, he can just humiliate him casually. Daniel doesn't care.
Chapter completed!
