In the Diamond League S City race, Lu Mengfan and Qiu Wen successfully achieved the qualifying results for the Tokyo Olympics.

Several other athletes participating in the competition, such as Zhao Shu in the 100-meter sprint, failed to successfully break their own limits in this competition.

After the Diamond League competition, those domestic athletes who still have potential to sprint for the Tokyo Olympics went to Europe under the arrangement of the national team to participate in a series of training competitions with high international standards that are currently taking place in Europe.

Throughout May and June, those contestants who had not yet obtained the qualification to participate in the competition were constantly trying to compete and sprint for their results. Some succeeded, while others failed.

The athletes who have already qualified for the Olympics have returned to the national team and are conducting final pre-Olympic training within the team. At the same time, they still maintain a stable frequency of participation, directly feeding back the results of their training in the competition, while also stimulating their own competitive instincts through competition.

Amidst everyone's tension and busyness, time passed quickly and silently, and in a blink of an eye it was the Tokyo Olympic Track and Field Trials on June 20, which was also the final of this year's National Track and Field Grand Prix.

At this stage, this Olympic trials is basically the last hope for the athletes. After this game, as the Olympics are approaching, there are almost no large-scale international competitions. As for domestic competitions... the annual largest domestic series track and field Grand Prix is ​​the year-end finals today. Where can they go to get more competitions?

In short, almost all the players participating in this game took a desperate attitude.

On June 20, the National Track and Field Grand Prix year-end finals and Olympic trials officially kicked off.

During the three consecutive days of competition, in order to allow the athletes to have enough passion, the Athletics Management Center and the organizers not only opened all available spectator seats, but also sold these tickets to track and field enthusiasts at extremely low prices. The hope is that a large number of track and field enthusiasts will be able to watch the competition on site as much as possible, and create a Diamond League atmosphere for the athletes on site.

Since it is the year-end finals and Olympic trials, the actual participating athletes are not divided into those who have qualified for the Olympics and those who have not.

All the top domestic athletes gathered together for today's competition, which was somewhat like the final of the National Track and Field Championships. During these three days of competition, there are events in which more than three athletes have qualified for the Olympics, and the final results of the athletes in the competition will determine who will win the Olympic qualification.

For events with no more than three athletes qualifying for the Olympics, it is the last sprint chance for those athletes who have not qualified.

In this competition, players who have already qualified, such as Fang Yu, Zhang Ziyi, Wang Shen, Cui Luoheng, Lu Mengfan, Qiu Wen and others, will actually appear in the competition and participate in this event with all their strength. They will use their strength to create pressure for other players and stimulate their competitive state.

Everything is for the athletes who still have a chance to sprint for the final qualification. Both the athletes themselves and the spectators are looking forward to creating more miracles in this game.

In this selection match, Su Bai once again brought his young players to watch the game. This time, he was accompanied not only by his players, but also by national team coaches such as Pei Jinan and Lu Shengbin, who also came to the game, hoping to see their players seize this last chance of four years.

In the 100-meter sprint event, Zhao Shu is still trying his last sprint chance. His current PB is 10.12 seconds and he has not yet been able to break the 10.10 mark. The qualifying standard for this Olympics is 10.05 seconds.

In the 400-meter event, it is already very difficult to improve the result from 44.97 to 44.90, and the 100-meter race is shorter than 400 meters. It is even more difficult for Zhao Shu to improve his PB from 10.12 to less than 10.05 in just 100 meters.

The 100-meter sprint is a sport that pursues the limits of physical speed. In fact, even Zhao Shu himself knows that he is not young anymore. It was a miracle that he could reach 10.12 seconds last year. However, he did not want to give up until the last moment.

It's not just Zhao Shu who doesn't want to give up, there are also many other players including Zhao Yankai, Ye Wenhao, Li Junhao and others!

Zhao Shu hopes to improve his time from 10.12 to 10.05.

Zhao Yankai's 110m hurdles PB has already been broken once this year, reaching 13.40 seconds, but it is still 0.08 seconds away from 13.32 seconds;

Ye Wenhao is still 1 centimeter away from the high jump standard, and Li Junhao is still 0.17 seconds away from 44.90 seconds...

All these expectations will be pinned on today's game.

Both online and on site, the audiences were anxiously waiting, and they also hoped to see a miracle happen in this last chance.

Three days passed. On the first day of competition, the 110-meter hurdles event started first. Cui Luoheng and Lu Mengfan did not let up at all in this game, but Cui Luoheng has indeed crushed Lu Mengfan in strength. In the end, Cui Luoheng broke his own sb of the season with a time of 13.09 seconds and easily won the championship of the 110-meter hurdles trials.

Lu Mengfan also performed very well in this game. Although his result of 13.32 seconds failed to refresh his own PB, it was also within the Olympic qualifying standard. Two consecutive good results in a short period of time also allowed everyone to see the progress and stability of Lu Mengfan's current personal performance and status.

After the two of them, Zhao Yankai's result in this game was also very outstanding, 13.35 seconds. This result has broken his personal PB. Unfortunately, while breaking his PB, this result is still 0.03 seconds away from the Tokyo Olympic Games' participation standard of 13.32 seconds.

After seeing the final result, Lu Mengfan, who was also on the field, hugged Zhao Yankai tightly, and Cui Luoheng also patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

13.35 seconds, this result, if it were two years ago, would have been enough to defeat Lu Mengfan, but now, there are still two big mountains, Cui Luoheng and Lu Mengfan, ahead of him, and he is still only the third in the domestic 110-meter hurdles.

If it were him two years ago, he might have already lost his balance by now, but Zhao Yankai is now much more rational than before.

His conceit and arrogance are still buried in his heart, but he will no longer blame anyone else for his inferior performance. Instead, his conceit and arrogance have become a belief that supports his progress on the 110-meter hurdles track - others are geniuses, and he, Zhao Yankai, is also a genius. If others can achieve what he can, he can definitely achieve too!

In today's game, Zhao Yankai only got third place and was basically certain to miss the Tokyo Olympics. He was really unhappy at the moment, but he did not think that he had no hope of stepping into the Olympic arena.

He is 25 years old this year. In 4 years, he will only be 29 years old...

So what if you’re past the prime age for hurdlers? He believes that four years later, he will be able to step onto the Olympic arena and journey!

Over the next two days, one match after another was held continuously.

In the past few days, not only have the stronger teams successively decided on their Olympic places, but some new players have even reached the Olympic qualification line during the competition.

However, the events that have not yet been fully qualified for the Olympics have not been going too smoothly during the past two days of competition. So far, no athlete has been able to meet the qualifying standards in this competition.

In fact, it is understandable if you think about it. These players have been sprinting for more than half a year. This is not just one or two attempts, but a long sprint cycle.

Most of the contestants who were really not far from the final qualifying line successfully crossed that standard line during this challenge cycle, and the contestants who remained were indeed those who were far from the qualifying line.

It’s just that, although people knew about these things, when faced with the result that no new contestant was qualified to participate, both the audience online and the audience in person seemed to be a little depressed emotionally.

The turning point of these three days of suppressed emotions...came during the countdown event on the last day of the competition.

In this competition schedule, the men's high jump competition was scheduled for the afternoon of the last day. When the competition started, the audience seemed a little depressed due to the disappointment of the past few days.

When a player passes the pole, there will be sparse applause from the audience, without the previous passion.

Today's match was a long-awaited twin star showdown between Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao. Wang Shen's condition was as stable and beautiful as ever. He maintained his excellent condition from last year to this year, and even gave Wang Shen a nickname of "Constant Intelligent AI" on the Internet.

This completely unpretentious nickname for a straight science and engineering guy refers to Wang Shen's stability, as well as his high IQ and EQ.

Ye Wenhao's condition is much more ups and downs than Wang Shen's, but the ups and downs are also relative. When he is in average condition, he can only jump 2.20 meters. When he is in good condition, 2.30 meters is no problem. He also refreshed his own PB with a result of 2.32 meters in the previous Diamond League S City Station. Unfortunately, this result is still 1 centimeter away from 2.33 meters.

This afternoon's final will determine whether he can break through the 1-centimeter barrier and qualify for the Olympics.

However, this trial was also the final of the domestic Grand Prix, and there were more contestants than just Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao, so the horizontal bar of the competition started from a height of 2 meters and rose upwards.

If the height of 2 meters was used before the "door frame theory" became popular, people would probably laugh at it. However, after the "door frame theory" became popular, the height of 2 meters is equivalent to some low door frames. Even if there are viewers who really want to say that this height is not acceptable, they will shut their mouths after looking at their own door frames.

After all, let alone a 2-meter door frame, how many people can jump over two-thirds of the height of a door frame?

So, although everyone no longer had any illusions about Ye Wenhao breaking through 2.33 meters, due to the strange mentality of "watching people jump over the goal frame", everyone was still quite interested in watching the men's high jump competition.

From the very beginning of the competition, other domestic contestants applied for a trial jump one by one. Only Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao were calm and composed. Every time the referee's eyes swept over them, their answer was - apply to be exempted from the jump.

From 2 meters to 2.05 meters, 2.10 meters, 2.15 meters, and 2.20 meters, domestic athletes were eliminated one by one in the competition, while Ye Wenhao and Wang Shen's current valid high jump results are still 0.

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, when the horizontal bar was raised to 2.20 meters and Ye Wenhao once again raised his hand to request to be exempted from the jump, the audience finally became a little impatient.

[Oh my god, is this mentality so stable and confident? He’s already 2.20 meters tall! The initial height of the crossbar in the World Championships Diamond League is about this height, right? Why don't you try jumping? Don’t want grades anymore? 】

[Ahhh, Wang Shen’s words don’t matter. His current state is as stable as if programmed by AI. But Ye Wenhao is different! His condition fluctuates greatly. Today he's over 2.20 meters tall and he's still exempted from jumping? 】

[It is understandable that Ye Wenhao wants to maintain his condition and better challenge the height of 2.33 meters, but a trial jump is still necessary, right? You always have to find the status, right? He couldn't just go all the way to a height of 2.33 meters and then try again? 】

[That's impossible!] Except for Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao, the highest PB of other players in the competition is 2.26 meters, and now it is 2.20 meters. After this jump, it is hard to say how many people will be left in the competition. It is impossible for the two of them to continue to be exempted from the jump. 】

On the public screen of the live broadcast room, the online game was being discussed a lot, and everyone was speculating on what Ye Wenhao's attitude was.

Finally, the 2.20-meter trial jump was over. Apart from Ye Wenhao and Wang Shen, there were only three players left on the field. For the next jump, the height of the horizontal bar was directly raised to 2.23 meters.

This time, Wang Shen finally did not apply for exemption from the jump. After raising his hand to signal, he started from the running starting point, and then after a standard relaxed eight-step run-up, he easily jumped over the 2.23-meter horizontal bar.

Wang Shen's posture in the air was relaxed and free, which made the audience who had been watching the game and struggling at the same time couldn't help but admire the beauty of his pole passing.

At the same time, the audience also clearly felt the huge gap in strength between Wang Shen, who successfully passed the pole, and other players.

After Wang Shen, it was the turn of the challenge for three other contestants. Among these three, only one successfully cleared the pole, and the remaining two failed in their first jump.

Then, it was Ye Wenhao's turn to be the contestant.

Ye Wenhao did not disappoint all the audience. He also made his first trial jump in this competition and then easily and neatly jumped over the bar.

The audience gave Ye Wenhao enthusiastic applause of encouragement - Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao's first jump clearly demonstrated to the audience the style of the domestic high jump twin stars.

The two athletes who failed to clear the bar in the first jump tried their second and third jumps respectively. Unfortunately, neither of them successfully cleared the bar in the subsequent two jumps, and finally their scores remained at 2.20 meters.

Next, the height of the horizontal bar was raised to 2.26 meters. This height also blocked the third player besides Ye Wenhao and Wang Shen from the subsequent competition.

Starting from the 2.26-meter stage, this match truly became a duel between Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao!

On the public screen barrage in the live broadcast room, the audience went from worrying and complaining about Ye Wenhao and Wang Shen not appearing on the field before they reached 2.23 meters, to being relieved after the two appeared on the field, to being amazed when only the two of them were left on the field. The changes in their emotions and mentalities can be said to be very rich and full.

In the real-time topic square on Weibo, some people also expressed their feelings about the confrontation between the twin stars.

——【=口=To be honest, although I have always known that Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao are called the Gemini Stars of China, but when they first became famous, there were still awesome seniors in the older generation of high jump in China, and their performance had not yet caught up with their predecessors, so I was a little indifferent to them. Later, Wang Shen's performance soared and he directly became a world-class player. I originally thought that Ye Wenhao would fall behind among the Gemini Stars, but now seeing the duel between Ye Wenhao and Wang Shen... the title of Gemini Stars makes sense! 】

——[Twins are still twins after all. In the domestic men's high jump event, no one is Wang Shen's opponent except Ye Wenhao. Wang Shen has ascended before, but don't forget that before Wang Shen ascended, Ye Wenhao had suppressed him for a year. Who knows if Ye Wenhao will not ascend next? 】

——【Stunning! Ever since Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao came on stage, the entire competition has been dominated by the two of them. The surrounding players are really no match for them at all. I saw a camera scan a player, and the player was stunned when he saw Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao passing the pole...】

After the two came on stage, the bar rose 3 centimeters at a time, quickly reaching 2.29 meters, 2.23 meters, 2.26 meters, 2.29 meters... Then, each time the bar was raised, the two tried to jump without hesitation, and then they jumped over the bar perfectly in one go.

The scene was indeed just as some viewers on Weibo said, the contestants nearby were also a little stunned.

Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao, with their combined strength, raised the atmosphere and level of the men's high jump competition in this qualifying competition to that of a showdown between the world's top athletes.

Someone also had a thought in his mind immediately - under such circumstances, can Ye Wenhao... break through the 2.33-meter line today?

Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao seemed to have created an atmosphere and interest with each other. When the camera on the scene captured the two of them face to face, a lively look could be seen in their eyes.

In the audience, Su Bai glanced at the expressions in Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao's eyes on the big screen, and smiled and raised his eyebrows. Not far from Su Bai, high jump coach Li Mingzhuo frowned tightly, with his arms folded in front of him, staring at the situation on the field - with his exposed hand, one could see the fingers pinching his own arm tightly, and he was obviously extremely nervous.

Although Li Mingzhuo is a coach with a sharp tongue and looks very fierce, he really cares about his players. Regarding the scene in front of him, Li Mingzhuo only hopes that in today's game, Ye Wenhao can break through the 1 centimeter barrier.

The referee on the field obviously understood the purpose of this game. After the height of 2.29 meters, the crossbar was raised again. This time, the height of the crossbar was only 2 centimeters, and the height of the crossbar also increased from 2.29 meters to 2.31 meters.

Experienced viewers all understand that raising the horizontal bar in this way can most reasonably give Ye Wenhao the opportunity to sprint to the 2.33-meter mark.

Between Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao, Wang Shen's number was in front. He took the lead in this trial jump and then easily passed the bar again.

After crossing the horizontal bar and turning over, Wang Shen looked back at Ye Wenhao and nodded slightly in his direction.

Ye Wenhao was also looking at the horizontal bar at the finish line with a fiery gaze at this moment, then he gave a thumbs up to Wang Shen who nodded to him, and finally pointed at himself with his thumb.

On the public screen of the live broadcast room, as the horizontal bar reached this stage, more and more nervous viewers became more and more, and people were cautiously waiting for Ye Wenhao's trial jump - success!

The successful trial jump excited the audience. If 2.31 meters was so simple and easy, then 2.33 meters... must be easy as well, right? !

With such expectations, even the referee's eyes were shining.

Ye Wenhao, he really has the ability and he really has a chance!

As everyone was looking forward to it, the competition came to the first trial jump of 2.33 meters, but under the watchful eyes of the crowd, not only did Wang Shen fail in his first trial jump, but Ye Wenhao also made a mistake in his first jump when his upper body passed the bar first, and he dropped the horizontal bar.

Originally, when Ye Wenhao's upper body passed the bar, some people screamed reflexively...but then the bar fell, and the excitement of the screams quickly turned into frustration.

Wang Shen failed again in his second attempt. This result disappointed the audience at the scene and before the live broadcast, but Wang Shen himself looked fine.

After Wang Shen's second attempt failed, the audience at the scene and the audience before the live broadcast no longer had high expectations for Ye Wenhao's second jump. Even in such a situation, Ye Wenhao started to run from the starting point - even though he had failed once before, even though he only had these last two chances, he still decisively and directly started running and jumping!

This jump... When Ye Wenhao pushed off the ground and stood up, he had a vague and clear premonition in his heart - he could do it!

So, everyone watched Ye Wenhao successfully cross the horizontal bar, then turned over and stood up, quickly looking up at the horizontal bar on the pillar...

The horizontal bar does not move at all!

2.33 meters, he succeeded! !

Chinese male high jumper, Ye Wenhao, successfully broke the Tokyo Olympic qualifying score in this competition!

In an instant, the entire venue was filled with boiling screams and crazy applause!
