In front of the live camera, Su Bai and Ryunosuke Arakawa each received a whiteboard from the TV station staff, wrote down the two teams they predicted would advance directly, and then wrote down their predicted final results for the Chinese women's team.

After finishing writing the contents on the two whiteboards, Su Bai and Arakawa were turned over to the live broadcast stage.

Obviously, both Su Bai and Arakawa planned to show the results written in their hands after the preliminary group competition was over.

In the live broadcast room, after seeing the two dunking the whiteboard, the host Uchimura Hirotoshi also showed an expression of admiration on his face: "Ah, from the beginning, the atmosphere between Arakawa-kun and Su-kun has become different. Does this mean that the duel between the two talented coaches is about to enter the most intense stage?"

"I can't wait to see the outcome of the duel between the two!"

“Although I was just writing the predictions on the whiteboard, just watching from the sidelines gave me the feeling that my fate had already been written on the board. I wonder if this is what it feels like to witness a showdown between geniuses in person?”

After admiring the extra match between Su Bai and Arakawa, Uchimura Hirotoki finally turned his attention to the competition scene: "Gentlemen, we can see that the blue track is ready, and talented contestants from seven different countries are ready at the starting point of the competition!"

"I believe you all understand that this is a battle of fate that will determine the qualification for the World Athletics Championships and the Tokyo Olympics. In this battlefield that determines the qualification for each country, I believe that no matter which team it is, they will definitely fight with all their will to win this decisive battle of fate!"

Hirotoshi Uchimura is a well-known sports anchor of Yokohama TV. As a track and field enthusiast who is passionate about running, his heart is filled with pride, honor and excitement for the two-day relay competition.

He passionately narrated the scenes on the field to the viewers in front of the TV, introducing which country each of the first runners on the field was from.

However, his passionate commentary was indeed full of Japanese Chuunibana characteristics. Su Bai, who was in the live broadcast room, had a slight distortion on his face, which had originally looked very indifferent, after listening to the simultaneous interpreter of the Japan Athletics Association retelling these Chuunibana lines in their original form.

…

A battle of geniuses?

The writing of destiny?

A fateful battle?

What else...the land king from the United States, with the agile figure of a black panther, and the strongest queen of 400 meters from the Chinese Empire who is burning with the blood of will.

After hearing the translated contents, Su Bai could only twitch his lips, and then barely suppressed the sudden burst of anger in his heart.

Su Bai, who was in the live broadcast room, certainly couldn't cover his face without caring about his image, but the audience who were watching the live broadcast did not have such concerns.

Wang Daning is just an ordinary international student studying in Japan. In the past two days, she has noticed the trend of public opinion among Japanese influencers and classmates. She was one of the first international students to sort out the hot topics in Japan and forward them back to China.

After today's competition officially started, Wang Daning, who usually has no interest in track and field relays, also turned on Yokohama TV and watched the live broadcast of the event on Yokohama News Channel.

As an international student who has lived in Japan for one or two years, Wang Daning has become accustomed to the exaggerated language used by the Japanese. However, at this moment, after seeing a compatriot of his own country on the live broadcast of the TV station and seeing him accepting such exaggerated flattery attacks from the Japanese, he suddenly burst into laughter, and Wang Daning gave a sympathetic laugh to Su Bai, whose eyes had obviously twitched for a few seconds.

Also in China, some viewers who managed to watch the live broadcast of Yokohama TV were holding their stomachs and shedding a few crocodile tears because of the laughter at Su Bai who was being praised in the live broadcast room.

At the Yokohama Stadium, in the Chinese players' section of the audience stands, Jiang Wentao, Pei Jinan and other staff members were sitting in their seats, and the expressions on their faces were not pleasant.

The Japanese event had a large number of spectators and their enthusiastic feedback on the competition, which made them very envious. However, they thought that in such a scene, the Japanese team's players would definitely run very frantically on the field in order to live up to the support of the audience.

This realization also made the two of them feel solemn.

Of course, at this time, in the women's 4x400m relay sprint event, it is not yet the turn of the Japanese women's team. Now on the field are the members of the Chinese national women's 400m relay team.

Before the game, when Pei Jinan and Jiang Wentao got the preliminary group table, their faces looked very bad.

The truth is, the gap in strength between the Chinese team and other teams in the first group of the preliminaries is really too big.

From the Chinese team's 3 minutes 33.88 seconds to the United States' 3 minutes 23 seconds, the strength gap between the teams in the first group of preliminaries was more than 10 seconds.

This is just a comparison with the US team. Teams from other countries, such as Italy, the Netherlands, France...these countries' teams all have the ability to run under 3 minutes and 30 seconds.

Although Su Bai had communicated with them before the game and said that the women's team still had room for improvement based on the Asian Championships.

But they don't think that this so-called room for improvement can allow the Chinese team to directly surpass the previous teams and advance to the top two places.

Jiang Wentao rubbed his forehead and sighed: "Alas, ever since Su Bai took charge of the 400m event in the national team, I have never felt so distressed watching our 400m race as I did today."

"Who said it wasn't?" Pei Jinan also sighed: "Since Su Bai took over the team, our 400-meter event has been going too smoothly."

"It's just that with our current strength, we might be able to compete for gold and silver medals in Asia, but we need to step onto the world stage to see what's going on and then we can clear our heads again."

"No matter what the result of this competition is, it is a wake-up call for us. I think it's good." Pei Jinan still looked at Chen Yadan who was lowering her head and adjusting her condition on the track with some reluctance: "It's hard for the girls on the women's team. They are all stubborn and arrogant. I hope the setback in today's competition will not affect their condition."

At the scene, as the first group of the women's 4x400m preliminaries was about to begin, the atmosphere in the audience seats began to become more heated.

Cheers, whistles, and tambourines, every audience member present was eagerly anticipating the upcoming game.

The Japanese spectators who came to the scene were of course there to cheer for the Japanese track and field team. The "battle of revenge" that broke out the day before had sparked heated discussions in China and was even more popular in Japan.

Although the core of the 'Revenge Battle' is the men's 4x400m event, the Japanese women's team was also outclassed by the women's 4x400m team from China in the previous Asian Championships and took away the bronze medal.

From the 400m individual event to the 4x400m relay, many Japanese people only realized after the public opinion of the "battle of revenge" exploded that in the 400m sprint event, the Chinese team had completely left Japan behind in just one year.

After having this clear awareness, the resentment in the hearts of many Japanese citizens broke out again, and this topic, which was originally only launched by Yokohama TV, was completely ignited in domestic public opinion.

At this time, on the field, the Chinese women's 4x400m team was about to start the battle, and the audience on the scene seemed very agitated. They were waiting, waiting for the final result of this Chinese team!

Chen Yada stood behind the starting blocks. After entering the field, every minute and every second seemed to be so long that it was almost torturous for her.

She felt that her body seemed to have cooled down a little due to the long wait, so she quickly jumped a few times on the spot, then patted and rubbed her body with her hands to keep herself in the best possible condition.

When she first learned about the groups, she was indeed panicked. Like her teammates Meng Qiujie, Lin Huan, Lin Yao and others, she was filled with resentment.

She knew that their relay team was only average in strength among all the teams in the world. She also knew that all they could fight for was the qualification for the Group B finals. But they also didn't want to look too embarrassed in this game.

However, as the race was about to begin, standing on the track, Chen Yada's thoughts changed again.

Facing the agitated Japanese spectators and the six rivals scattered on the curved starting point behind her on the left, Chen Yada's heart suddenly got rid of her previous unwillingness.

There is nothing to be unwilling about. They are indeed not as strong as others, so they just need to fight hard.

Even if they can only run to the last place, they still have to fight with all their might to let the opponents ahead know that the last team is accumulating all their strength. If the ones ahead dare to slack off at all, don't blame them for being rude!

After establishing such a belief in her heart, Chen Yada's expression and posture became much calmer. What she needed was to burn her blood on the field instead of complaining about herself before the game started.

In the live broadcast room of the domestic sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were still responsible for the commentary. At this moment, the live broadcast screen happened to sweep over Chen Yada. From the screen, we can see that Chen Yada's eyes were full of determination. Even in the face of such a fierce battle, there was no trace of cowardice or retreat on Chen Yada's face.

"Today's competition will be a series of fierce battles for both our 400m and 100m men's and women's teams. But we can see that at the starting point of the track, there is no sign of giving up in Chen Yadan's eyes."

"Yes." Li Sen nodded and replied, "Yadan's performance has also made great progress in the past year. As a 27-year-old female athlete, she can definitely be called a 'veteran' on the field, and such a 'veteran' is also the core member of the women's relay team. Just like Zhang Ziyi on the men's team, as long as she is on the field, her determination and her attitude will bring the same firm attitude to other members of the women's team!"

At the same time, in the sports channel or the live broadcast room of Ku Ku Zi, as the shot just flashed by, a large amount of text content was also displayed on the barrage.

[Ahhhh, Sister Yadan, come on! ! ! Fuck him! 】

[Fuck, I was feeling uneasy at first, but the scene just now, the look in Sister Yadan’s eyes… Damn, I was blown away. With Sister Yadan like this, I will continue to support her no matter what! 】

Just as the commentators and commentators were still discussing, the starter's instructions suddenly came from the on-site broadcast, and the noisy shouts that were originally boiling at the scene came to an abrupt end the moment the instructions appeared.

"Everyone, take your positions."

After this command, athletes from all countries walked around the starting blocks, bent down, and squatted on their own starting blocks.

After Chen Yada squatted on her starting block, she subconsciously looked forward - as she was in the outermost lane, there were no opponents in front of her.

Since there is nothing now...why not let there be nothing later?

When this thought flashed through Chen Yada's mind, a new command was heard over the radio.

All the runners are ready to start.

Then, with the command sounded on the radio - "Ready", "Bang!"

In just a moment, the seven figures at the starting point of the curve have already stepped on their starting blocks, and the power of their legs burst out, sending each of them onto the starting track for acceleration!

Starting on a curve requires some slightly different techniques than starting on a straight track. Regardless of these techniques, athletes will not use 100% of their explosive power and speed when starting, accelerating, and turning on a curve, because too strong a speed will make the athletes lose control of themselves. On a curve that needs to fight against centrifugal force, too fast a speed is not good for athletes.

The reaction speed when starting on a curve is also different from that on a straight track. Compared with the reaction time of 100-meter and 110-meter hurdlers on a straight track, which is generally within 0.15 seconds, in the 4x400-meter relay, the athletes will not be stingy with this little time when starting on a curve - even if the starting reaction time is 0.3 seconds, the loss of speed within 0.15 seconds will hardly have much impact on the overall situation of the 4x400 event.

However, many people think so, but Chen Yada doesn’t think so at the moment!

From the moment she started, Chen Yada seized all the time and speed she could gain - whether it was the 0.15 seconds of reaction time at the start or the maximum speed on the curve.

Among the 7 contestants present, most of them had a starting reaction time of over 0.20 seconds. In the starting reaction stage, the only contestants who ran within 0.2 seconds were Thompson, the leading female runner of the American team on the fourth track, and Chen Yada on the outermost track!

From the moment she started, Chen Yada displayed her strongest reaction speed and explosive power. She knew deeply in her heart that for their women's team, there would be no room for any mistakes or waste on this track.

Even though she broke out at an unprecedented speed on the curve, it was still a challenge for Chen Yada's control, but she still stared with her eyes wide open and tried her best to control herself.

Start, explode, accelerate and lift your upper body, and continue to explode...!

Tilt the center of gravity of the body slightly inward, control the weight of each step, and use every inch of explosive power to the most extreme state!

Faster, faster, faster!

All that was left in Chen Yada's mind was the ultimate pursuit of speed. On this outermost track, the Chinese team was the only yellow team. Chased by a group of black and white female players, Chen Yada on the outermost lane was like a yellow lightning, or an agile lioness, desperately showing her momentum and chasing towards the goal that had already been set in her heart!

"Incredible speed...! Is this the speed of the strongest 400-meter queen from the Chinese Empire?"

In the live broadcast room of Yokohama TV, Hirotoki Uchimura's voice was filled with amazement.

In fact, the strongest runner on the track right now should be Thompson, the top runner from the United States. She and DiRado, the last runner of the American team, are the strongest runners in the American women's 4x400m relay team. Both of them have the ability to run under 50 seconds.

However, after the start, the first female runner from China ran with a momentum and speed that was no less than Thompson's.

Uchimura Hirotoshi's eyes were full of disbelief, and after seeing Chen Yada's speed, Arakawa Ryunosuke's eyes also showed incredible amazement.

Among the four people in the live broadcast room, only Su Bai looked calm. He even frowned slightly, as if he was judging Chen Yada on the track.

On the track, Chen Yada had no idea how surprised all the people watching the race were at her speed at the moment. After passing the first corner, she quickly turned from the corner into the straight. She had already used up all her speed before, and after entering the straight stage, she no longer needed to use special techniques on the corners.

Almost as soon as he entered the straight road, Chen Yada had already increased his speed to the fastest on this straight road!

Inhale, exhale, exhale, inhale...

She controlled every breathing rhythm in her mind. Even though the audience in the stadium were cheering loudly, all these sounds had been filtered out in Chen Yada's mind.

She almost forgot that she was on the court, and all she could think of was - faster, faster! Faster speed, faster progress!

In a competition like today, she seemed to have found the feeling she had on the track of the Asian Six Nations Joint Competition.

The control of the body, the mastery of rhythm, the use of every inch of explosive power...

She can!

She can run faster on this track with no obstacles in front of her!

"Incredible! Yadan is still in the lead. She has a huge speed advantage over the players on track 7! At this stage, her speed is in the lead, almost on par with Thompson of the American team!"

In the commentary booth of the sports channel, Shao Minyi's voice was very excited.

Not only him, but also Ku Ku Zi, who also bought the live broadcast rights, invited a well-known sports critic to commentate. At this moment, the sports critic was also speaking with a trembling voice full of excitement: "Chen Yadan's speed is very fast. Excluding the stretch section of the eighth track, her speed is definitely in the top three at the current scene!!!"

"Oh my god, this is the top three speeds... When did our country have a female athlete who can compete in the world arena with the speed of Thompson of the American team and Garibaldi of Italy?!"

"Chen Yadan's performance has definitely exceeded the imagination of many of us!!"

On the track, the German player who was originally in the seventh lane did not expect that the Chinese player in the eighth lane could suppress her in speed. She originally thought that this was because the starting area of ​​the eighth lane was the closest. However, as everyone entered the last straight track, the German female player was shocked - the female player from the Chinese team actually ran in the top three? !

No……

Her third position is still unstable. The French team's first runner, Lacrabelle, has a strong ability to accelerate in the later stages. She is chasing quickly. Her pursuit has allowed her to gradually approach Chen Yada and she has the opportunity to overtake at any time!

But this is already very scary - you know, Lacrabelle is also a player whose personal PB is less than 50 seconds!

When Chen Yada passed the baton to the second runner Meng Qiujie, although the Chinese team had fallen to fourth place, Meng Qiujie's face was full of excitement and determination.

Fourth place!

This is much better than the last one they once thought!

There is still hope for them!

They cannot give up. Even if they cannot make it to the front row, they must let their opponents know that the Chinese women's relay team can also pose a threat to them! !

With such a spirit, in the next two runs, Meng Qiujie and Lin Huan both ran with all their might. From Chen Yada, the first runner, to Lin Huan, the third runner, after they completed the baton pass, they all knelt down on the track in exhaustion and needed to be helped to the side by staff.

In the sports channel or the live broadcast on Ku Ku's website, the commentator's voice has become hoarse - after the last three runs, even though Meng Qiujie and Lin Huan had indeed tried their best, after the baton was handed over to Lin Yao, the Chinese team still temporarily fell to sixth place. Behind the Chinese team, the Chilean team's fourth runner was also fighting hard, trying to bite off the Chinese team's fourth runner in front.

After receiving the baton, Lin Yao rushed to the track ahead with all her might - at the front, the American team had already gained an absolute advantage, with a gap of at least two seconds between them and the team behind them. Following closely behind were the fourth runners from the Italian and French teams.

At this time, on the innermost track, the German team was trying to overtake the Dutch team in front of them. After Lin Yao took over, the innermost lane began the final competition between Lin Yao and the two fourth runners from the Netherlands and Germany!

The fourth runner of the Dutch team is also a strong batsman with excellent strength. She was initially caught in a competition with the fourth runner of the German team because of some mistakes in handing over the baton. As she entered the straight stage, her speed gradually left behind the German player and Lin Yao behind her. When the gap between the three widened, the Chilean player behind her further chased, and Lin Yao was temporarily caught in the squeeze between the fourth runners of Germany and Chile!

Huff, huff…

Lin Yao's eyes were now somewhat red, and she stared straight ahead. Even though her body's fatigue was constantly stimulating and warning her, she still did not give up any hope or opportunity on the track.

She could hear the breathing of the Chilean athlete behind her and see the back of the German athlete in front of her.

come on……

come on……!

you can!

When the race came to the last straight, the cheers from the audience had broken through the sky, and in many corners of the world that the female team players could not hear, countless Chinese audiences were cheering for them loudly at this time -

Come on...Come on! ! !

"There is a chance. The Chinese team has a chance to break into the top five!" Shao Minyi's voice was a little hoarse, but he had no energy to care about this. His eyes were fixed on the live broadcast screen, watching Lin Yao on the screen decisively cut to the second lane, and then started to sprint in the final stage!

The fourth runners from Germany and Chile are also sprinting at full speed at this moment.

The best thing Lin Yao did was to stick closely to the fourth runner of the German team from the beginning to the end. At this time, her pursuit was already approaching, and the fourth runner of the German team in front was also trying her best to throw her away, but in the final stage, the distance between Lin Yao and her was originally very close.

Sprint! Sprint! ! !

As Lin Yao walked step by step side by side with the fourth runner-up of the German team, and then walked step by step across the finish line almost at the same time as the fourth runner-up of the German team...all the audience watching this scene in front of the TV couldn't help but shout out loud!

Overtake! ! !

At the last moment, even though it was just a difference in the angle of her body leaning forward, Lin Yao's final downward rush helped her successfully overtake at the last moment!

It’s not the last one, nor is it the sixth one that was originally thought to have no hope of overtaking!

In the women's 4x400m preliminaries, the Chinese women's team took fifth place in this death group preliminaries beyond everyone's expectations!

This... is already a victory for the Chinese team!
