"The Chinese national track and field team won the first place in both the gold medal and medal lists ahead of schedule!" 》

"Making History - The Glorious Moment of China's 400m Sprint!" 》

Almost at the same time when the news broke, a large number of reports were pushed out on the Internet. In order to grab the first-hand news, many of these media had already written plans for various outcomes in advance, just to push out the content as soon as they received the news and grab the readership.

Although such news content is not as informative as the news reports from on-site reporters, at the moment, as long as there is any news content related to this game, there will be netizens willing to click in to take a look at the exciting and proud text content between the lines of all the reports.

This is a feast of national carnival. After receiving the news, Weibo has already pinned the relevant news of the Asian Athletics Championships to the top of the topic. In addition to the pinned Asian Championships topic, topics such as #400m relay first Asian Championships gold medal# have also been pushed to the top 10 of the hot search list due to the enthusiastic interaction of netizens.

On the Internet, those viewers who have been following the competition for many consecutive days, if in the early days when they were watching the competition, they only looked at the athletes from the variety show "Track and Field Training Camp" with the mentality of "let's see what kind of results the contestants in the variety show I used to be a fan of can get", after the previous indoor tour and this time's Track and Field Asian Championships, these viewers can be said to have been completely pulled into the track and field pit.

[I really thought that there was nothing interesting about track and field competitions. I didn’t know what I was watching when I saw a group of people running and jumping. It felt so lonely... When I watched the training camp variety show, I really treated it as an ordinary variety show. I just knew that it was really not easy for these athletes. Until I tried to watch a few games these few days...I really think these track and field athletes are really handsome and awesome on the field! 】

[After these few days, I finally feel like I understand the game. I feel nervous along with the audience and players at the game. I know our strengths and weaknesses. I no longer feel bored when I accidentally watch the game like before...]

[#亚冠军# This is my first time watching a race. I’ve only watched the 100m and 110m hurdles races before. I think these short-distance straight-line races are really exciting. Now I can also enjoy watching the 400m race. _(:3)∠Hey, I feel like I’ve been elevated…]

【? ? However, everyone, there is one last race today, don’t forget the mixed 4x400m relay! ! 】

When everyone was celebrating, it was this voice that made the audience suddenly remember - oh, yes, there is only one last game left!

Doha, Qatar, Asian Championships

In the audience, all the members of the track and field team sitting in the Chinese athlete zone had completely relaxed at this point. After all, at this point in the competition, there was really no suspense for the Chinese team.

With this gold medal for the men's 400m relay team, even if Bahrain wins the next mixed 4x400m race, it will not be able to shake China's ranking in the gold medal table.

When the staff began to guide the 4x400m men's relay runners off the field, Qiu Wencai scratched his head, remembering that Guo Dun and Li Junhao still had a race to go.

In the commentary booth, Shao Minyi and Li Sen had calmed down from the excitement of winning the gold medal in the men's 4x400m relay. At this moment, they had begun to reintroduce the mixed men's and women's 4x400m relay event.

"The next event that will be held is the last one of this Asian Championships, the mixed 4x400m relay. This event has also received widespread attention before the competition. Some viewers may have already known that the mixed 4x400m relay will appear for the first time at the Tokyo Olympics next year. Therefore, the mixed 4x400m relay is gradually gaining more attention."

"Yes." Li Sen also said: "After the mixed men's and women's 4x400m relay entered the Olympic arena and entered the official event list, we can see that various countries are stepping up the talent reserve of men's and women's 400m runners. Obviously, in this event, both men's 400m sprinters and women's 400m sprinters need to have strong individual strength and relay tacit understanding."

"Yes, we can see that in this competition, the athletes from the Kingdom of Bahrain did not achieve particularly outstanding results in individual events, but the overall level of the athletes in the Kingdom of Bahrain is relatively balanced, without obvious shortcomings. This gives them an advantage in the mixed men's and women's relay that is difficult for other Asian countries to have."

Following the introduction by Shao Minyi and Li Sen, many viewers suddenly realized that the mixed men's and women's 4x400m event was actually a new event that made its debut at the Tokyo Olympics.

On the barrage, the audience also became curious about the news.

[If that's the case, it seems like this game has become more important? 】

[Haha, I just thought that I had already secured first place in both the gold medal and medal rankings, and that nothing would be a big deal next. But it turns out that there’s still this mixed men’s and women’s relay waiting here! 】

[Oh, the contestants are here. Huh, there are only 6 teams? 】

At this Asian Championships, there were a total of 8 teams originally scheduled to participate in the mixed men's and women's 4x400 events, but one team withdrew from the competition just before the preliminary round, and another team withdrew from the competition just before the final, so that by the time of the final, there were only 6 teams left, namely the Kingdom of Bahrain, Japan, China, India, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan.

Among these six teams, the strongest ones are still the Kingdom of Bahrain, India and Japan.

"Tonight's game is more about training for the Chinese team."

When introducing the teams present, Shao Min sighed: "The original players of the Chinese team were supposed to be Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen, Chen Yadan and Lin Yao, but when we checked in and reported the final list before tonight's game, our list was changed to Guo Dun, Li Junhao, Chen Yadan and Lin Yao."

"As you all know, during the four days of competition, Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen have run five consecutive high-intensity races, which is a great test of their physical fitness. In the men's 4x400m relay final that just ended, Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen used up all their physical strength to establish the advantage of the Chinese relay team, and finally won us the gold medal. As we said before, replacing Guo Dun and Li Junhao is not a way of avoiding the battle, but a way for the two athletes to take responsibility for the game."

"Of course, Guo Dun and Li Junhao are also the top 400m runners in China. With the participation of Guo Dun and Li Junhao, we may have hope of winning medals in this competition."

On the live broadcast barrage, the audience was watching the live broadcast and chatting happily on the public screen. After hearing the commentary of Shao Minyi and Li Sen, some old track and field fans couldn't help laughing.

[Oh, no, this won’t work. How many years have Lao Shao and Lao Li been commentating on track and field events? Why is it swelling now? 】

【? 】

Some people don't understand why people say that Shao Minyi and Li Sen are arrogant.

[Tsk, in the past when we participated in the 400m event, even with a full lineup, we couldn't say that we had 100% chance of making it to the finals. Now with Lao Guo and Ah Hao coming on as substitutes, Lao Shao and Lao Li can both say that they have hopes of winning medals. If Zhang Shuai and Xiao Qiu take the field, won't we be competing for gold and silver medals again? 】

[Hahahaha, I really didn’t react if you didn’t say it. 】

[Oh, it’s swollen, but it’s swollen in a good way. What happened to Lao Guo and Ah Hao? Didn’t you see how hard the two of them fought in the game just now? That kid Ah Hao has been quite reliable in the fourth batting position from last year to now! 】

It can also be seen from the discussions on these public screens that the audience still feels very relaxed about this mixed men's and women's relay race.

At the scene, among the players, whether it was Guo Dun, Li Junhao, Lin Yao, or Chen Yada, none of them regarded this game as a game that could be given up.

The mixed 4x400m relay does not limit the gender of the athletes in each leg of each country's team. Each country will arrange the order of its male and female athletes appropriately based on the actual situation of its athletes.

In today's game, four teams, including China, India, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan, all chose to arrange female players to play in the first baton. The arrangements for the next two batons had slight differences, but the differences were not big.

Among the six teams, only the Kingdom of Bahrain and Japan chose to arrange male players in the first baton and placed the two female players in the second and third batons in the middle.

Although each country has its own different arrangements, there is generally an established rule. That is, among each country's teams, if the strength of two female players on the field is relatively balanced, or the strength of the two female players is above the average of the overall female players, the two female players will be connected together, and the male players will take on the leading and trailing batons.

If there is a difference in strength between two female players, the ranking will usually be determined by alternating the baton between men and women.

However, no matter how the first three batons are arranged, the last baton will be arranged for the strongest male athlete to make the final sprint.

In fact, the original baton-passing order of the Chinese team for the mixed men's and women's 4x400m was Zhang Ziyi, Lin Yao, Chen Yada and Qiu Wen. However, after replacing Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen, although Li Junhao could still sprint for the final leg, Guo Dun could not create as much advantage in the first leg as Zhang Ziyi did. In order to prevent Lin Yao from falling too far behind in the second leg and affecting Chen Yada's performance in the third leg, after the replacement of the players, the baton-passing order was adjusted to Lin Yao, Guo Dun, Chen Yada and Li Junhao.

In this race, the Chinese team was in the third lane. Lin Yao had already adjusted her starting blocks at the starting position on the curve. After a brief test run on the track, she straightened her back again, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and adjusted her overall state.

This is her second game tonight. If you ask her if she is tired, of course she is. But if you ask her if she wants to give up this game, her answer is definitely no.

In the last women's 4x400m race, Lin Yao felt powerless and could not catch up with the players in front of her. She knew that in this mixed men's and women's 4x400m race, the Chinese team still had no advantage, but she still wanted to give it a try. How could she be content without giving it her all?

In fact, as long as they step onto the field, no one really wants to give up. Even though this is the last game of this Asian Championships, everyone on the field is still full of energy and wants to fight well in this last battle tonight!

When all the teams' players had made their arrangements and were ready at their respective starting points, the starting signal sounded again on the live broadcast.

"Everyone, get ready."

A simple starting command made the scene quiet again, and then there was the crisp sound of the starting gun - "bang!"

The last game of this Asian Championships has officially begun!

From the second track to the seventh track, on the six tracks, six figures sprinted forward at the same time as the starting gun sounded.

Although Lin Yao had run one shot in the women's 4x400m relay before, this time, perhaps it was the unwillingness in her heart that motivated her. Her condition could be said to be very good. Judging from her reaction to the gun, her reaction time was among the best!

Not only in terms of reaction to the gun, but also in the starting phase, Lin Yao's burst and speed can be said to be the strongest among the four female players.

However, the first runners present are not the only women. The first runner in the second lane is a Japanese mixed-race 400m strongman, Sora Akiyama, and the one in the sixth lane is Bahraini runner Lakasa.

There is a huge gap in strength and speed between male and female athletes. This gap is reflected in the current competition. No matter how hard Lin Yao tries, she can feel that Akiyama Sora behind her is gradually approaching her!

"On the track, we can see that Lin Yao is performing very well. She is gradually closing the gap with the top female runner from Kazakhstan. But we can also see that behind Lin Yao, Japan's Sora Akiyama is also rushing forward."

In the commentary booth, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were also introducing the current situation of the game to the audience.

"It can be said that the mixed 4x400m race is completely different from the men's 4x400m relay or the women's 4x400m relay in terms of viewing experience and viewing effect." Li Sen looked at the scene with some emotion in his eyes: "From the chase between the first runners, we can clearly see the difference in speed and explosiveness between male and female runners."

"This feeling of players of different genders working together and competing on the same field is something that you absolutely cannot feel in a single-sex field."

On the field, Lin Yao was rushing forward with all her might. She had greatly narrowed the gap between her and the first runner from Kazakhstan on the fourth track. However, at the same time, the gap between her and Sora Akiyama of the Japanese team had narrowed even further, and she soon overtook her completely at the second bend.

Of course, such overtaking on the field is not limited to Akiyama Sora and Lin Yao. Bahrain's first runner Lakasa in the sixth track also easily surpassed India's first female runner in the seventh track. Due to the different starting lead points of the athletes, Lakasa was located in the sixth lane, the outer lane. So when Lakasa surpassed India's first female runner, the distance between them and the other teams was greatly widened, and it seemed that they were far ahead.

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, many people were shocked by the comments on the public screen.

[Shit, the sixth one, that’s too much, right? 】

[How the hell can we compare?] ? ? 】

Of course, there are also spectators who know that after the second leg, the advantage created by Bahrain in the first leg will not be so obvious. But in fact, these spectators who can see clearly know that the next two female players from Bahrain are not easy to deal with. With the psychological advantage of the first leg, it will be difficult for players from other countries to catch up with Bahrain in the next two legs.

Lin Yao on the field certainly had no energy to consider what the audience was thinking. When she reached the final 100-meter straight, she was already very tired due to the pressure accumulated from the previous game. She could feel that it was difficult for her limbs to maintain perfect technical movements while running. Also, the tearing and stinging sensation of breathing made her feel very painful during the running.

[Do you want to give up?] ……】

This thought briefly flashed through Lin Yao's mind, but soon, her eyes became more determined - why would she give up? !

If she gave up at this stage and affected the final result of the entire team, she would never be able to forgive herself!

Finally, Lin Yao gritted her teeth and in the final stage, she surpassed the two players from Kazakhstan and Tajikistan step by step, almost at the same time as the first female runner from India, and passed the baton to the second runner Guo Dun.

As soon as he received the baton from Lin Yao, Guo Dun started running forward quickly. In the second leg, unlike the first leg, there were more male runners in the second leg, and the second leg of Bahrain and Japan was replaced by a female runner.

Whether it is Guo Dun or the second runners from Kazakhstan, Tajikistan or India, they are all moving forward at full speed, intending to catch up with the gap between the first female runner and the Japanese and Indian teams.

However, there is a certain difference in strength between the second-run male players. Although Guo Dun is not as strong as the second-runner from India, he still has a considerable advantage over the two players from Kazakhstan and Tajikistan.

In addition, Lin Yao overtook the players of these two teams in the first leg, and when they passed the first bend and started to merge lanes, a position ranking of Bahrain, India, Japan, China, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan had been formed on the field.

"The Chinese team is currently in fourth place. Guo Dun is holding on to that position and trying to overtake...he has found his chance!"

In the commentary booth, Shao Minyi was always keeping a close eye on the real-time changes on the court.

Japan's first runner Sora Akiyama did gain a lot of advantages, but the second runner failed to maintain this advantage. After she was overtaken by India's second runner, Guo Dun soon saw the opportunity after entering the second straight, cut to the outside lane, and then overtook Japan's second runner.

However, although both the Indian team and the Chinese team successfully overtook the Japanese team, the second female runner of the Bahrain team in front firmly maintained Bahrain's advantage. Although the distance between the second runner of the Bahrain team and the second runner of the Indian team and Guo Dun was once shortened to three or four meters, until Guo Dun completed the baton pass, the position between the two could not be successfully overtaken.

After the second leg was over, the ranking of the teams on the field had basically had an intuitive result - next, in the third and fourth legs, the order of the six teams was all alternating between female and male players. Under this arrangement, the position distance advantages established previously were difficult to change at this stage.

Not only that, for example, with the solid foundation of the first two batons, the Bahrain team's third baton has fallen into the hands of Bahrain's strongest female player, Nashar. Compared with other third-runner female players present, Nashar is not only a top-notch female player in Asia, but also a top-notch female player in the world. With her playing the third baton, it is almost guaranteed that no one will be able to shake the position of the Bahrain team under the impact of female players from other teams.

And in fact, this is true.

In the third leg, the Chinese team naturally sent Chen Yada, while the Indian team also sent India's strongest female player Nirmala.

Seeing the scene in front of him, even Li Sen in the commentary booth couldn't help but laugh: "The top three female athletes here are the top three in the women's 400m sprint event of this Asian Championships. In today's mixed relay, these three athletes have gathered again to compete again in this arena."

In fact, it is not quite accurate to say that it was a competition among the three. With the advantage created by the two Bahraini players in front of her, Nashar was even more unceremonious in the third leg. She firmly occupied the innermost lane and was far ahead, with a distance of almost 15 meters from Nirmila and Chen Yada behind her.

With such a big gap in distance, even Chen Yada couldn't successfully overtake.

The real tug-of-war was between Chen Yada and Nirmila. Nirmila had been defeated by Chen Yada twice before, and this time, she gritted her teeth and ran at full speed, not wanting to be defeated by Chen Yada again.

Both Chen Yada and Nirmila were very tired from the previous women's 4x400m relay, but both of them were very resilient athletes. On this track, they kept close to each other and refused to give in.

Although Nirmila managed to suppress Chen Yada by taking the advantage of taking the inner lane first, Chen Yada cut directly to the outer lane on the final straight, catching Nirmila off guard and finally overtaking her in the final sprint.

When the baton was handed to the fourth runner Li Junhao, Nirmila's fourth baton was also handed over to her teammate, but after being overtaken by Chen Yada in the last distance, the Indian team's advantage was no longer there.

The fourth runner of the Indian team is also the fourth runner of the Indian men's 4x400m. In the previous game, he had already faced Li Junhao.

He had already had a deep impression of the strength of the fourth runner of the Chinese team. When he saw Li Junhao again, the fourth runner of the Indian team felt nervous and could only grit his teeth and chase after Li Junhao desperately.

At this time, Li Junhao did not care about the Indian players behind him. His eyes were fixed on the fourth runner, McKnight, from the Kingdom of Bahrain. Even though there was still more than ten meters between him and McKnight, Li Junhao never gave up the idea of ​​chasing!

The audience seemed to notice that the last runner of the Chinese team, which was in second place, was actually trying to overtake the Bahrain team which had an absolute advantage in front of them. This discovery made them excited again about this game which had already been a foregone conclusion.

The cheers all around were getting louder and louder, all cheering for the Chinese team.

The people in the Chinese contestant seat did not expect that Li Junhao was actually trying to catch up with the Bahraini contestant in front of him.

"Good man...he really wants to overtake!"

Jiang Wentao looked at Li Junhao's fierce look on the court and clenched his fists tightly. Although he knew in his heart that the final result might not be successful, Li Junhao's spirit of daring to think and fight, and his attitude of never giving up were enough to shock people!

"Come on!!! Junhao, come on!!!"

In the commentary booth, Shao Minyi and Li Sen also noticed Li Junhao's thoughts, and they couldn't help but cheer for this guy who refused to admit defeat.

On the track, from Li Junhao's steps, you couldn't tell at all that he had just finished a 400-meter relay race. His steps were still vigorous and powerful, but from the blue veins on his forehead and arms, you could still see that he had already exerted all his will at this moment.

He wanted to win, wanted to surpass others - even if the goal ahead seemed so far away.

Step, step, step... These are the steps Li Junhao took with all his strength. His eyes were fixed on the front, and he was unswervingly pursuing the goal he wanted to surpass!

The last 50 meters...

30 meters...

20 meters...

The distance between Li Junhao and Mike Knight in front of him was constantly narrowing, but the speed of the narrowing was ultimately not enough for him to successfully overtake before the final finish line.

When Li Junhao successfully crossed the finish line, the Chinese team finally won the last medal of this Asian Championships in the last battle of the Asian Championships tonight!
