119 Just Go

"...So fast!"

"Wait! Is he...doing the butterfly stroke?"

"Butterfly?! What... Tang Yan's actually using the butterfly stroke!"

...

Even Guo Yong was stunned, his mouth so wide open you could fit an egg in it. Okay maybe not that wide open.

Whilst the front crawl wasn't the stipulated stroke for freestyle, it was the recognized favourite and for good reason. Even FINA recognized it as the fastest stroke, followed by butterfly, backstroke and breaststroke.

But Tang Yan chose the butterfly stroke and whilst still trailing he was keeping up to pace with Tian Yang.

One meter, two meters, three meters...

In a blink of an eye, Tang Yan was beginning to match Tian Yang.

Gou Yong's face became scrunched up in confusion then realization, whilst studying Tang Yan's stroke style.

Tang Yan was doing a hybrid butterfly-crawl. A mixture of the two styles.

He had changed from the front crawl he used in the first race.
