Nan Ye and Alex both set new world records

With the arrival of the third round, the competition also entered its final stage.

In fact, static apnea, generally speaking, is a matter of going all out in the first round, then declining in the second, and exhausting oneself in the third.

Therefore, many contestants will go all out in the first round to prevent their condition from declining in all aspects later on.

However, Nan Ye’s first two attempts were both 18 minutes, which did not reach his true limit and could only be considered a warm-up.

His condition was still very stable!

"official top"

"1, 2, 3, 4, ... 10!"

It wasn't until the last second of the scheduled start time that Nan Ye submerged his head in the water.

This time, he was going to give it his all!

As Nan Ye broke the Asian record and still had the final round of competition, more and more people flooded into Zhao Ge's live stream.

Looking at the live stream audience reaching 40 million, Zhao Ge felt like he was dreaming.

This must be the peak moment of his life!

"The third round of the competition has reached the 16th minute, and I believe the results will be out very soon!"

"Huh, Sakai Kouji moved. It seems he was affected by Nan Ye. His condition in this round has clearly declined."

At 16 minutes and 39 seconds, Sakai Kouji got up, looking completely dejected.

In the end, Sakai Kouji's result was settled at 18 minutes and 36 seconds from the second round.

He is currently ranked 19th.

This result is already quite good for an Asian.

The problem is, he was boasting at the beginning, but in the end, he lost to Nan Ye, and was even suppressed by him twice, losing face completely.

This is the legendary 'hoisted by his own petard'!

If he can't break free from this cocoon, then Sakai Kouji's life is probably at its end, and it will be difficult for him to break through himself in the future...

Netizens glanced briefly at Sakai Kouji before turning their attention back to Nan Ye.

Because Nan Ye seemed to be about to break history again.

Zhao Ge zoomed in the camera, focusing entirely on Nan Ye:

"It's currently 18 minutes and 20 seconds. Can Nan Ye break Asian history again?"

"18 minutes and 30 seconds, closer to the previous record!"

"18 minutes and 42 seconds, Nan Ye is amazing... another record broken!"

Zhao Ge was so excited that his voice cracked a little!

But the audience didn't feel anything was wrong, because their mood was as excited as Zhao Ge's!

"Exactly 19 minutes, Nan Ye is currently ranked 12th!"

"He's still holding on, his body is still very stable, showing no signs of struggle, which means he is very likely to push for 20 minutes again!"

"19 minutes and 20 seconds, Nan Ye has entered the top 8!"

"19 minutes and 40 seconds, fifth place, Nan Ye has entered the top five!"

"20 minutes reached, Nan Ye has finally reached the highly anticipated 20 minutes."

"Currently, Nan Ye has achieved third place. Congratulations to Great Xia Country for winning another medal!"

The audience in the live stream could no longer contain their excitement:

[This is awesome, Xiao Ge really reached 20 minutes. It seems what he did on the variety show was real!]

[This fully shows that Xiao Ge was just playing with Sakai Kouji earlier, otherwise crushing him would have been a matter of minutes.]

[Go Xiao Ge, if you can win a gold medal, that would truly be a magnificent feat!]

[It might be a bit difficult. The contestant next to him, Alex, is the static apnea record holder, 22 minutes and 10 seconds, very strong!]

[At the 20-minute mark, every additional second is the limit, let alone 2 minutes. It's indeed extremely difficult to surpass him.

Anyway, Xiao Ge should just go for it and see how far he can get...]

By this time, most of the contestants had finished their competition.

There were only two people left in the entire competition area: one was Nan Ye, and the other was the record holder, Alex from Bull Country.

It had already exceeded 20 minutes, reaching the critical moment. Many contestants, referees, staff, and even coaches from various countries gathered around.

At such a moment, it was very likely that a new historical record would be witnessed.

However, most people were gathered around Alex. If anyone could break the record, it would most likely be himself.

As for Nan Ye, these foreigners were not optimistic.

A Daxia person does not have a great advantage in static apnea.

Even if he had already surpassed 20 minutes, it would be difficult to continue further.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon it reached the 21st minute.

The Great Xia Country national team coaches and members were all squatting on the shore near Nan Ye.

They clenched their teeth, afraid that their voices would affect Nan Ye.

Seeing that their palms and the backs of their hands were covered in sweat, they knew they were more nervous than Nan Ye himself.

Having broken the Asian record, could Nan Ye break the world record?

Bull Country, Potato Country, United States, and other countries cast unbelievable glances over.

It was understandable that Alex could hold on until now, after all, he was the record holder. If he was in good condition, he could normally exceed 21 minutes.

But why Nan Ye, this Daxia person?

Zhao Ge's voice became increasingly shaky, "It's 21 minutes and 30 seconds, folks. We're 40 seconds away from the record. I wonder if Nan Ye can go further?"

"Exactly 22 minutes, 22 minutes! Only 10 seconds left, the final 10 seconds, come on, folks..."

In the last 2 minutes, the audience in the live stream surged significantly, approaching 45 million at this point.

When Nan Ye started participating in the third round, People's Daily not only liked the trending topic of Nan Ye breaking the Asian record but also specifically published a Weibo post:

Congratulations to Singer Nan Ye, who participated in the freediving event today, breaking the Asian record and becoming the first person in Asia.

There is also the third round of competition, and I believe he can reach another level...

It was this Weibo post, after fermenting, that made more people aware of this matter, and they flocked to Zhao Ge's live stream.

When they arrived, it was also the final moment!

At this time, there was a noisy sound coming from the live stream, which was the sound of the foreigners' astonishment:

"My god..."

"My heavens, it's already 22 minutes and 12 seconds. Both of them have broken the historical highest record."

"Alex and this Daxia are amazing, they broke the record at the same time."

"It seems Daxia are not as bad as we thought!"

"This young man has changed my view of Daxia people. I underestimated them before..."

"..."

The foreigners' astonishment made the Daxia people feel great:

[Surprised, little foreigners? You used to think Daxia people were no good, that's because Nan Ye hadn't made his move yet.]

[It has to be Xiao Ge, slapping those foreigners who looked down on Daxia people!]

[I have to say, Xiao Ge is truly amazing, he directly broke the world record.]

[Now let's see who will be the final first place, Nan Ye or Alex...]

Sakai Kouji, who was standing by, widened his eyes incredibly wide.
