Su Bai, as a track and field athlete with no prospects, decided to retire due to a lack of hope for improving his results.
But when Su Bai officially submitted his retirement application, his...
Ever since the national team’s official Weibo account announced the arrival of the Tokyo Olympics qualifying period, track and field enthusiasts who had just separated from the atmosphere of the Asian Championships have regained new passion!
After all, this means that from this stage onwards, track and field athletes from all over the world will go all out to fight for a spot in the Olympics - and this period of time will surely be a peak period for track and field athletes from all countries to achieve explosive performances before the Olympics.
Domestic, Track and Field Kingdom Forum
Topic: [On May 4, the Jamaica station of the IAAF World Challenge will start. The national team will also have many track and field stars going to Jamaica. Who will be the first to cross the qualifying line for the Tokyo Olympics? 】

[If you want to place a bet, think first. I will analyze it first to make you laugh!
First of all, due to the arrangement of the events, there will be no hammer throw, shot put and javelin events in Jamaica on May 4. At present, it seems that several domestic big sisters in these events will not be able to meet the standards in the first batch, but the strength of the big sisters is unquestionable, so there is no need to worry too much.
As for the men's 100-meter sprint, although there is a 100-meter sprint event in Jamaica, as we all know, there will be a World Athletics Relay Games in Yokohama, Japan on the 11th and 12th. This event will determine the relay team's qualification for the Tokyo Olympics.
We have all seen the national team's ambitions for relay events. This time, the national track and field team will go to Yokohama with several different relay teams, including the men's 4x100m and women's 4x100m, men's 4x400m, and mixed 4x400m. These teams are all aiming for the qualification for the Tokyo Olympics.
At present, athletes who are expected to qualify for the Olympics in the 100m and 400m, including Fang Yu, Zhao Shu, Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen, and Chen Yada, are still concentrating on special training for the relay. The Jamaica stop of the challenge on May 4 and the relay race on the 11th and 12th are too close in time. Moreover, one main venue is in Jamaica and the other is in Yokohama, Japan. The round trip is likely to affect the athletes' competitive state in the relay race.
Therefore, we can see at present that the names of the above-mentioned sprint champions are not included in the list of athletes of the national track and field team for the Jamaica Challenge.
I scanned the list again and found that among the participants this time, the athletes with the best hope of qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics in the first batch are Wu Yi in the men's 200m sprint, Cui Luoheng in the 110m hurdles, and Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao in the men's high jump.
At present, it seems that Cui Luoheng and Wang Shen have both exceeded the Tokyo Olympic Games competition standards in terms of their actual personal PB, and they both set new records in the Asian Championships. It seems that they both still have great hope! 】
3l: [The original poster has put it very comprehensively. At present, I feel that the two people who have the greatest hope of obtaining the first batch of Olympic qualifications should be Xiao Cui and Wang Shen. 】
5l: [Speaking of which, is there no one who is optimistic about Ye Wenhao and Wu Yi? Wu Yi's performance improvement from last year to this year's competition is also very amazing. If we really make a comparison, Wu Yi's performance improvement is comparable to Zhang Ziyi. I am quite optimistic about him in this Jamaica station. 】
10l: [It seems that after the Tokyo Olympic qualification is announced, everyone is focusing on the Olympics? It seems that fewer people are paying attention to the qualification for this year's World Championships. I remember that during the Asian Championships, Qiu Wen's time of 45.27 seconds also met the qualification for this year's World Championships, right? But it seems that not many people mentioned this? 】
15l: [……! Oh, the brother on the 10th floor really reminded me. I really didn't react. Qiu Wen has met the qualification requirements for the World Championships, 45.27 seconds. Wow, this result is only 0.02 seconds away from Zhang Shuai's previous national 400-meter record! 】
18l:【! ! ! I just realized Xiao Qiu's result. Oh, wait, it was only this time last year that Xiao Qiu switched from 100 meters and 200 meters to 400 meters, right? This is a total of one year from the time I started training for 400 meters to now, and I almost broke the original national 400-meter record? ! 】
21l: [Oh shit, I was shocked after reading the previous discussion. In just one year, Xiao Qiu is currently the most talented athlete in the 400-meter sprint event, right? 】
26l: […Originally I wanted to refute the brother on the 21st floor, but after thinking about it, if this is not considered the most genius in just one year, I don’t know which other player has more genius ability. 】
28l: [Qiu Wen, it feels like he was born at the wrong time (?), I don’t know if this word is appropriate, but, if he had changed his event a few years earlier, or if Zhang Shuai was not in the 400m event now, then Qiu would probably be the light of the 400m sprint, the kind that we would praise to the sky! 】
33l: [Well, who said it wasn’t? I was shocked when I saw Xiao Qiu's result just now. But during the Asian Championships, I was so focused on Zhang Shuai breaking the 45-second mark, which was so awesome, that I didn't even react to Xiao Qiu's result... I have to say, it's a good thing that Xiao Qiu, this silly kid, doesn't look stupid and doesn't care too much about the attention, otherwise he would be so frustrated. Thinking about his achievements, they are really no worse than Zhang Shuai’s…】
This building, which was originally used to discuss who would be the first to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics, got out of control after Qiu Wen was mentioned in the middle. The whole building was completely tilted. In the end, the owner of the building also joined the discussion. Many people lamented that Qiu Wen's previous result of 45.27 seconds, which was within the qualifying standard for the World Championships, seemed to be invisible. It was really wrong.
While some track and field fans were busy discussing, some had already taken action. They went straight to Weibo and posted a topic called #Qiu Wen Athletics World Championships Meets Standard#. They then turned the topic back to the track and field kingdom and called on many track and field fans to support Qiu Wen.
So, half a month after the Asian Championships, a topic suddenly appeared on the Weibo hot topic list and was on the hot topic list.
Some bystanders who were not posting in the track and field kingdom clicked on this topic after seeing it. They originally thought that Qiu Wen had participated in some new event, but the content displayed was that Qiu Wen ran 45.27 seconds in the final of the Asian Championships and won the qualification for the 400-meter sprint in the 2019 Athletics World Championships.
…
…………
?
Many track and field fans who were just watching the show felt a question mark slowly floating over their heads: How was this done? Is the trending search delayed? News from half a month ago was delayed to become a hot topic half a month later?
After the track and field team finished their training in the afternoon, Qiu Wen happily picked up his phone as usual, ready to surf the Internet. However, the moment he opened my Weibo, the entire phone froze.
"What the hell, what happened to my phone?"
Qiu Wen's first reaction was not that too many people @ed him, but whether his phone was broken: "That's impossible, I just changed my phone not long ago!"
Qiu Wen was muttering to himself while looking at his phone with a frown. Before his phone could react, Lin Chuan and Guo Dun, who were walking in front of him, started laughing and turned around. Guo Dun handed Qiu Wen his phone.
"Well, the culprit has been found. Good job, Xiao Qiu. You are so popular on the search list!"
"ha?"
Qiu Wen scratched his head in confusion, took the phone and took a look, then the confusion in his eyes deepened: "...Ah?"
Putting aside the jokes between the Internet crowd and Qiu Wen and others in the track and field team, on the afternoon of May 1, the Chinese team members heading to Jamaica collectively set off from City B International Airport, preparing to fly to Germany first, and then transfer to Germany to arrive in Jamaica.
This journey takes almost two days, and it is a big test for the athletes' adaptability. Whether the athletes can quickly adapt to the local time difference after a long journey and then perform well in the competition is also a key factor affecting the athletes' own performance.
In fact, it was precisely because the journey from China to Jamaica took too much time that the national team gave up the plan to allow sprinters such as Zhang Ziyi and Fang Yu to participate in the competition.
On the morning of May 4, at the local track and field stadium in Jamaica
The athletes of the Chinese track and field team finally arrived in Jamaica the afternoon before. Once they arrived, they took a short rest as much as possible to reduce their fatigue after the long journey.
After a short rest, Cui Luoheng and others went to the hotel's gym for some simple exercises, adjusting their condition to 70% to 80% of their usual level.
After a whole night of rest, everyone finally stepped into the competition venue in high spirits.
Among the athletes going abroad this time, the one with the most experience should be Wu Yi in the 200-meter sprint. In the first three or four years, when the 200-meter sprint was as uncommon as the 400-meter sprint in China, Wu Yi relied on his outstanding talent and strength to make his way to the national team, became a representative of the national team, and began to compete abroad.
Moreover, Wu Yi is a person who is not afraid of competition and is keen on participating in competitions and challenges. He does not like to compete domestically, but spends more time flying around to various countries abroad and has very rich experience in foreign wars.
After arriving in Jamaica the day before, he was also very enthusiastic in explaining to everyone what we should do to adapt to the local time difference as quickly as possible and get back to our competitive form after arriving in Jamaica.
For Cui Luoheng, he is not completely without experience in world-class competitions, but at the moment, although this game is just a track and field challenge, the level and scale of the World Junior Championships and World Youth Championships he participated in are incomparable to this game.
At this moment, standing in this completely unfamiliar arena, Cui Luoheng looked at the unfamiliar environment and the various audiences and contestants who were either black or blond-haired. He felt a slight sense of nervousness in his heart, but at the same time, an eager expression appeared on his face...!
