Chapter 157

In China, although we cannot see the men's 400m qualifying competition for the World Championships, track and field fans are still very concerned about this qualifying competition.

Although there was no live broadcast of the event, reporters were not prohibited from interviewing. Almost as soon as the results of the qualifying match came out, reporters from various countries quickly edited the players' results and sent them back to their respective media editors as soon as possible.

The official Weibo account of the National Track and Field Team also immediately released the final result of Su Yu's 400m qualifying competition:

Official V of the National Track and Field Team: [#Suyu once again breaks the 400m sprint record# At 16:08 on September 30, 2019, Doha time, our athlete @SuyuV easily won the first place in the group with a score of 45.32 in the World Championships Men's 400m Sprint Qualifying Preliminary, and successfully qualified for the World Championships Men's 400m Sprint Main Race! At the same time, this result also broke the national men's 400-meter sprint record previously held by Su Yu himself! 】

Due to the high volume of attention on the Internet, soon after this topic came out, it was pushed to the top of the hot search list by track and field fans and the general public.

[Okay, okay!] Su Yu Niu Boyi! ! 】

[After yesterday's 200m preliminaries, many big Vs commented on Su Yu's condition, saying that Su Yu was under too much pressure and was probably reaching his limit. I also saw a big V saying that Su Yu might have to give up the 400m today... As a result, hey, what do you think happened? The 400 meters that was expected to be "given up" by Su Yu has now broken the national record again! 】

[Although, actually, what those big V sports people said yesterday made sense. After all, Su Yu said in his own interview yesterday that the state of the preliminaries exceeded his imagination...]

[But Su Yu also said in his interview that he is confident about today's 400m preliminaries. You can't just believe half of the interview, right? 】

…

These days, as the World Championships have officially started and more people have watched the games, the topic of whether Su Yu is responsible for so many events at the same time has been brought up again.

But for most of the audience, they don't care how many events you compete in. Even if you compete in ten events, as long as you can achieve outstanding results in these ten events, everyone will just think you are awesome.

So even though there was a lot of noise, it actually didn't cause much impact.

Just like after Su Yu’s 400-meter result came out today, the spectators would only happily @ those who felt that Su Yu had no self-awareness and was irresponsible for the project, and then ask them - how was it? Our Yudi has broken the record again, isn’t that awesome!

***

Zhou Yuang: [@Su Yu, fuck fuck fuck, Su Xiaoyu! You are so awesome! ! 】

Zhou Yuang was worried that Su Yu would be under too much pressure from competing in consecutive competitions, so even though he saw Su Yu's improved condition this morning, he was still a little worried. Also, considering that Jiang Yuan had a competition tomorrow, he came to the scene alone with the national team. He just jumped and cheered for Su Yu in the audience.

After the final results came out, Zhou Yuang posted the competition video he had just recorded and the final electronic screen score in the group.

Ye Minghao and Jiang Ruohui in China were also following Su Yu's 400m qualifying competition, so after Zhou Yuang sent them the first-hand video footage of the event, they both quickly clicked on it...

Then, I was caught off guard - I turned my phone to silent mode.

In the dormitory of the G Province Sports Team, Ye Minghao and Jiang Ruohui rubbed their ears, both feeling that their ears were almost deafened by the earphones just now.

"This Angzi..." Jiang Ruohui looked at his phone with a lingering fear on his face: "Is Zhou Yuang the reincarnation of a screaming chicken?!"

Ye Minghao: “…”

Ye Minghao was originally rubbing his ears in a daze, but when he heard Jiang Ruohui's complaints, he couldn't help laughing: "You can't let Angzi hear this, otherwise he will definitely yell in your ears until you become deaf."

Jiang Ruohui thought about the scene and took off his headphones in fear. He planned to watch the video in public, so he shook his phone and looked up to ask Ye Minghao: "Ye Zi, let's watch it together?"

Ye Minghao had no objection, so he moved closer to Jiang Ruohui, and the two of them watched Zhou Yuang's terribly messed-up video, which was full of crazy shaking and screaming.

By the time they finished watching, Ye Minghao and the others both felt a little dizzy, but the exciting atmosphere on the scene and Su Yu's absolute leading advantage made Ye Minghao and Jiang Ruohui very excited.

After watching the video, Ye Minghao and Jiang Ruohui immediately left messages in the group to congratulate Su Yu. Ye Minghao sent out red envelopes as usual, and when he finished sending out the red envelopes, he saw that his good brother next to him was still in deep thought.

Ye Minghao rarely saw Jiang Ruohui like this, so he gently patted Jiang Ruohui on the shoulder: "Huizi, what's wrong?"

After hearing Ye Minghao's voice, Jiang Ruohui hesitated for two seconds and asked, "Ye Zi...you say, if I want to try running 400 meters now, is it too late?"

When Ye Minghao heard Jiang Ruohui's question, he was stunned for a moment, then said seriously: "Of course it's not too late. We are only 17 years old this year. Many players only decide on their main events after they become adults. It's definitely not too late to change events at 17!"

But after finishing speaking, Ye Minghao looked at Jiang Ruohui hesitantly: "But Huizi, are you going to turn 400 meters?"

Jiang Ruohui thought for a moment and said, "I do have some ideas..."

At this point, Jiang Ruohui said to Ye Minghao: "Didn't I say this before? The coach who discovered me actually thought I might be a good candidate for the 400-meter run. But he told my parents at the time that there was no future for running 400 meters in China. If I really want to practice, I have good speed and can definitely run 100 meters."

Jiang Ruohui was silent for a moment when he said this: "My parents went home and checked the overall results of the 400m in China at that time, and finally decided to let me try the 100m."

Ye Minghao and Jiang Ruohui are good friends who grew up together, but Jiang Ruohui has never talked about his initial project selection in the past.

"My parents later told me not to talk nonsense. They probably thought the 400-meter race was not a good thing and were afraid that if I brought it up, I would be hard to refuse if asked to learn the 400-meter race."

Ye Minghao nodded in understanding: "So what are you doing now?"

Jiang Ruohui laughed: "Haven't the bad habits of the 400-meter circle been curbed? Since Xiaoyu's interview with Lin Zekai, the whole circle has been

Didn't the whole country organize a special 400-meter race? Didn’t Mr. Zhou from our team’s 400-meter team go to the national team and attend more than a month of seminars and training? ”

"I've seen that after Lao Zhou came back, he trained the 400m runners even harder, and they've achieved some results in recent competitions."

"It turns out that it's not that our Chinese team's coaches and players are incompetent, but that no one has been so ruthless before."

At this point, Jiang Ruohui straightened his face and said, "Actually, my 100-meter result is not bad either. I ran 10.49 seconds at the age of 17. I wouldn't have dared to dream of such a result two years ago. I originally thought it would be good if I could break 10.50 seconds before I turned 20."

"But my 100-meter speed ability is still no match for you, Ye Zi, let alone Su Yu."

"Oh... But I didn't want to change my sport because I felt I couldn't beat you guys in the 100 meters. It was mainly because I felt that my speed and endurance training had improved quite fast during this period, and I remembered what the coach who discovered me said."

"You said, since I have both the 100-meter speed and the speed endurance required for the 400-meter, I have also tried the split timer training privately before, and I think my control over speed is pretty good..."

After listening to Jiang Ruohui's words, Ye Minghao understood what his good brother meant: "So you came up with the idea of ​​switching to the 400-meter race."

Jiang Ruohui nodded and pointed to the video that had just finished playing on his phone: "The main thing is that I watched some of Su Xiaoyu's competitions and found that I am quite interested in the 400 meters."

Ye Minghao understood. As for his good brother's idea, as long as it was not a sudden whim but was the result of careful consideration, Ye Minghao would not blindly oppose it under the banner of doing it for his own good.

He nodded to Jiang Ruohui: "Okay, since you told me this, you must have thought about it for a long time. I support your idea."

"But I think you don't need to tell the team about this for now."

Jiang Ruohui was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"

Ye Minghao said: "Have you forgotten that we are going to the Olympic Training Base for training soon?"

When Jiang Ruohui heard this, he slapped his head - he almost forgot.

Ye Minghao said: "We will go to the Olympic training base for training, relying on our 100-meter results. If you tell the team now that you want to change your event, the team may consider replacing you first."

"Also, at present, the coaches of various provincial teams, including our G Province, are more adept at training 100-meter runners. Although Lao Zhou has participated in seminars and training with the national team, if you really want to switch to 400 meters, I still suggest that you go to the Olympic Training Base, and after you have a good performance, you can communicate with the national team coach."

Jiang Ruohui was thoughtful after listening to Ye Minghao's suggestion. He had only thought about switching events and trying the 400 meters, but he didn't expect all the twists and turns that would follow.

Ye Zi is right. He has no basic knowledge of 400 meters. His 100-meter performance is the reason why he can be seen by others. In addition, he has a coach and other reasons...

He nodded: "Okay, I understand. Let's talk about it after we get to the Olympic Training Base."

…

***

At the same time, in the Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar, although Zhou Yuang felt that it was a bit strange that Ye Minghao and Jiang Ruohui disappeared after showing up, everyone usually has their own things to do, and no one stipulates that group messages must be replied to immediately.

He was so excited watching the 400m qualifying race that Ye Minghao and Jiang Ruohui didn't show up, so the group chat became just a carnival of nonsense for him -

Zhou Yuang: [@苏渚, Su Xiaoyu is awesome! ! 】

Zhou Yuang: [@Su Yu, Su Xiaoyu, when did your 400m become so much stronger? In the last game, you released about 10 meters, right? And he ran 45.32 seconds? ? If you didn't slow down the 10-meter pace, you would have run under 45.30 seconds, right? That means you have already passed the qualifying line for the World Championships! 】

Zhou Yuang: [Su Xiaoyu, what is your current 400-meter strength? You can't be running under 45.20 seconds already, right? If that's the case...hiss, the qualifying score for 400 meters at next year's Tokyo Olympics is 44.90 seconds...you won't have a chance to meet the 400 meters standard directly next season, right? ? ? 】

After Su Yu got the phone, he opened WeChat and saw a series of messages coming at him, interspersed with a few congratulations from Ye Minghao, Jiang Ruohui and Jiang Yuan, and the rest were all Zhou Yuang's chatter.

Su Yu: [……]

Su Yu: [@Zhou Yuang, you are hurting my eyes. 】

Zhou Yuang: [Xiaoyu angry gif, you are so good, Su Xiaoyu, brother just cares about you! 】

Su Yu: [I know, but you still hurt my eyes. 】

Zhou Yuang: [Xiaoyu humming gif, it’s okay to quarrel, so what! Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, Su Xiaoyu, what is your current 400-meter result? 】

Facing Zhou Yuang's repeated questions, Su Yu had no intention of hiding anything. He thought for a moment and said, "Probably around 45.25 seconds." 】

The continuous competitions he had played in the previous few months had greatly improved his ability to control himself, and during the intensive competition period, his level in different events and his ability to control himself had increased to a certain extent.

A stronger ability to cope with consecutive high-intensity schedules, an overall improved strength level, and a unique talent for physical recovery.

All these combined together gave Su Yu the confidence to fight continuously in the World Championships - although after actually stepping onto the World Championships arena, he found that this confidence was actually a little thin.

Judging from his condition in the past two days, Su Yu originally thought that it would be difficult for him to run better results in 400 meters and 200 meters, but fortunately, his belief in facing every event with all his strength allowed him to wait for today's turning point.

Compared to Su Yu, Zhou Yuang didn't think so much. He took a look at the data reported by Su Yu - although it was not as he expected that he could advance to 45.20 seconds, but 45.25 seconds was already exaggerated!

After all, Su Yu only started running 400 meters this season. Within one season, he broke the Chinese men's 400-meter record that had been untouched for more than 30 years and entered the World Championships. Moreover, his strength in the 400-meter race has improved by 0.25 seconds compared to the original Chinese men's 400-meter record of 45.50 seconds...

This result is so outrageous that anyone would say it is outrageous.

Therefore, after reading it, Zhou Yuang just posted another sentence in the group: "Su Xiaoyu is awesome."

After expressing his admiration, Zhou Yuang remembered that Su Yu would participate in the men's 200m semi-final in a few hours, and he couldn't help but say... In the 200m semi-final later, could Su Xiaoyu still be able to directly advance to the finals?

But after this thought popped up in his mind, Zhou Yuang patted his head and suppressed the thought.

While patting his head, he said to himself in his heart - Zhou Yuang, Zhou Yuang, it's okay to praise your friends, but you can't praise them to the point that they can't come down from the ground.

If it was some other event he was not familiar with, he might still brag about it without thinking, but his main event now is the 200-meter sprint, and he has some idea of ​​what kind of results are needed to advance to the finals of the World Championships semi-finals.

Among the athletes who advanced to the finals in the men's 200m semi-finals of the last World Championships, the eighth-ranked athlete in the semi-finals had a time of 20.22 seconds.

In this session, the strength level of the athletes has generally improved. Zhou Yuang suspects that in tonight's World Championships men's 200m semi-final, if the athletes want to advance to the finals, they will probably have to run under 20.20 seconds.

It’s true that Su Xiaoyu is in good shape now, but can he run under 20.20 seconds all of a sudden? You know without even asking that this result is not very realistic.

***

Zhou Yuang was alone in the Chinese player zone seat, scratching his head and thinking. After the game and the interview, Su Yu had already returned to the backcourt lounge.

Shortly after he returned to the backcourt locker room, Zheng Sheng, Liu Qinlong and Pei Dingshan returned to the locker room one after another. After seeing Su Yu, Pei Dingshan asked, "How do you feel?"

Su Yu nodded: "I think it's okay."

He felt that his condition was really good. Compared with his condition after the men's 100m semi-final the day before, he ran quite relaxed in this 400m race. And after finishing the race, he felt that his overall competitive condition had improved.

After hearing what Su Yu said, Pei Dingshan also turned his head and looked at Dr. Liao.

Doctor Liao was also giving Su Yu a simple massage to relax her. After hearing Pei Dingshan's question, he nodded and said, "Yes, it's not bad. Although there is definitely some tension in the muscles due to lactic acid accumulation after running, the lactic acid accumulation disappears very quickly. In my opinion, it will not have much impact on the 200-meter semi-final tonight."

On the side, Zheng Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this affirmative answer.

Liu Qinlong couldn't help but turn his head and sneer when he heard Zheng Sheng's relieved expression, and whispered to his old friend: "Nervous, huh? You deserve it!"

Zheng Sheng's face was twisted by Liu Qinlong's complaints. Imagining the state of the two of them half an hour ago, it was really "fortunes turn around, it's my turn this year".

After taking a deep breath, Zheng Sheng said, "Don't forget to replenish your energy after the massage. It's only 4:30 now. The 200-meter semifinal will be at 20:50. Don't forget to eat or you'll be hungry by then."

The national team's nutritionist had been waiting in the lounge for a long time. After hearing what Zheng Sheng said, he immediately came out and said, "Coach Zheng, don't worry. No one can let our national team's precious kids go hungry!"

As they were talking, the door of the lounge was opened, and the second group of contestants who had arrived at the Khalifa Stadium entered the lounge. Among them was Zhan Youming, who would also be competing tonight.

When he pushed the door open, he happened to hear the last sentence and immediately teased, "Eh? That's not right, Old Zheng. Am I still your only baby?"

When Zheng Sheng heard what Zhan Youming said, he rolled his eyes unhappily: "Don't overthink it. It's none of your business!"

The players who arrived in the locker room at this time listened to the interaction between Zheng Sheng and Zhan Youming, and there was laughter and joy all over the place, making the entire Chinese team's backcourt locker room seem extremely lively.

This relaxed atmosphere also diluted a lot of pre-match tension, allowing the two athletes next to them who were going to participate in the 110-meter hurdles group competition tonight to relax a little and appear less nervous than before.

After Zheng Sheng and his friends finished joking with each other, they turned their attention to the two athletes in the 110-meter hurdles. The coach of the hurdles group was not with the team this time, so the task of comforting and caring about the athletes' condition fell on them.

"Lin Jun, Si Yao, are you two okay right now?"

Lin Jun and Zhang Siyao nodded slightly relaxed.

Zhang Siyao said: "We were a little nervous at first, but with the atmosphere in the lounge right now, it's hard for us to get nervous."

Zheng Sheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Okay, just don't be so nervous now. It's good to be moderately nervous during a competition, but don't be too tense."

After saying that, Zheng Sheng and his team didn't stay in the men's lounge for long before heading to the women's lounge. They couldn't spend all their time with the men's team.

But before leaving, they still said to Su Yu and Zhan Youming very seriously: "You two too, don't be too nervous, we will cheer for you in the audience!"

***

In the Chinese team's backcourt locker room, the atmosphere quickly became quiet again after the coaches temporarily left.

It's not that everyone is unfamiliar with each other, it's mainly because it's the World Championships that will begin soon. With the coaching staff present and Zhan Youming's amusing conversation, the atmosphere seemed more relaxed and lively. But now that the coaching staff left, both Lin Jun and Zhang Siyao couldn't help but become a little nervous again.

There is no other reason for being so tense, it's mainly a stress issue.

In fact, as China's main 110-meter hurdlers, Lin Jun and Zhang Siyao are not bad in terms of the world ranking this season. Zhang Siyao once ran a good result of 13.19 seconds this season, and his best result of the season ranked top ten in the world ranking this season. Lin Jun also ran a good result this season that could rank among the top 40 in the world.

Logically speaking, the strength of both of them is quite good, Zhang Siyao and Lin Jun, especially Zhang Siyao, has helped the Chinese team maintain the first-class level in Asia in the 110-meter hurdles with his achievements, especially the 13.19 seconds this season, which has helped the Chinese team get back to the world's first-class baseline.

But the problem for both of them is that their performance is unstable.

Zhang Siyao's time of 13.19 is his best this season and also his best in history - this time's time of 13.19 is also the only time in his career so far that he has broken the 13.30 mark.

Lin Jun's situation is similar. His time of 13.42 this season was the first time he ran under 13.65. It was with this best result in his career that he was invited to the 110-meter hurdles qualifying round and successfully qualified for today's main race in yesterday's qualifying round.

To be honest, both of them are quite strong, but there are a group of loyal 110-meter hurdles enthusiasts in China, as well as many ordinary passers-by who still remember the style of the hurdles king. The expectations from these audiences are so high that they don't know how to deal with them.

For the players in the latter hurdles era, one of their biggest pressures comes from the excellence of their predecessors.

Fortunately, Zhang Siyao and Lin Jun are also top-notch 110-meter hurdlers carefully trained by the Chinese team. Although they were nervous, after the staff came to inform them that they could go to warm up, they both quickly adjusted their state and went to the warm-up venue in the backcourt before Su Yu and others.

After Zhang Siyao and Lin Jun left first, Zhan Youming turned his head to look in the direction of Su Yu and raised his hand to rub Su Yu's head.

"Su Xiaoyu, how is it going? Are you confident about the game tonight?"

Su Yu was originally lowering his head to reply to messages in the group. When he heard Zhan Youming's question, he blinked and turned to look at him: "What are you sure of? Are you sure of being eliminated?"

When Zhan Youming heard Su Yu's answer, he exaggeratedly made a backward gesture: "Su Xiaoyu, you are not right! Didn't you say in the interview that you should go all out in all competitions to fight for a glimmer of hope?"

Su Yu nodded: "That's right."

But he still looked at Zhan Youming with a puzzled look: "But since I am going all out to fight for a glimmer of hope, it means I am not sure. So Brother Youming, if you ask me if I am sure, then all I have is the certainty of being eliminated..."

Zhan Youming: "..."

Zhan Youming rubbed Su Yu's head viciously, and scolded him while laughing: "You are such a bad boy, Su Xiaoyu!"

Su Yu ruthlessly slapped Zhan Youming's claws away, and then threw the question back to Zhan Youming: "What about you, Brother Youming? Are you sure?"

Zhan Youming has always been a bold and heroic person. After hearing this question, he immediately smiled and said, "Of course! Just wait, I will definitely make it to the finals tonight!"

After hearing what Zhan Youming said, Su Yu smiled, and then looked at Zhan Youming seriously: "Then I will wish Brother Youming good luck in the semi-finals later!"

Zhan Youming looked at Su Yu like this, smiled and tapped his head with his index finger: "What about you? I know your character. Even if you think it's a bit difficult to qualify for the 200m final tonight, you always have other goals, right?"

After hearing this question, Su Yu nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

Zhan Youming raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What is your goal?"

Su Yu thought for a moment and said seriously, "Probably... breaking a 200-meter Asian youth record?"

Zhan Youming: "...Puff."

Of course, Zhan Youming still remembers this joke - the kid in front of him is the big shot who swept the U18 records of 100m, 200m and 400m in Asia. Moreover, after the 100m final of the World Championships the day before yesterday, Su Yu's 100m result not only continued to refresh the WU18B, but the result of 10.02 seconds has also become the latest Asian men's 100m sprint youth (U20) record.

As for the Asian youth record in 200 meters, if he remembered correctly, it should be 20.29 seconds.

In the 200m preliminaries last night, Su Yu easily ran to 20.35 seconds - so in tonight's 200m semi-finals, who can say that Su Yu has no chance of breaking the 200m Asian youth record?

Zhan Youming remembered that Zheng Sheng had talked to him about this matter at the beginning. Unexpectedly, he would have the opportunity to witness such a grand event with his own eyes at the World Championships tonight.

- Don't say there's just a 'chance'. The fact that Su Yu said this so seriously basically means that Su Yu is confident that he can run under 20.30 seconds tonight.

As for how much "within", that is another question.

Thinking of this, Zhan Youming looked at Su Yu, rubbed his head, and laughed: "Okay, then I'll wait to see you win another Asian Youth Record!"

As he spoke, Zhan Youming couldn't help but mutter, "Tsk, it's all because the 400m Asian Youth record is too outrageous, 44.27 seconds... If this result wasn't too outrageous, and you came back to sweep the men's 400m Asian Youth record again, wouldn't all the U20 records in Asia be in the hands of our Chinese team?"

Su Yu: “…”

Su Yu struggled for a while, and originally wanted to say, "It's not their fault if their records are awesome," but under Zhan Youming's harsh suppression, he silently shut his mouth.

After a moment, he thought about it and said, "Although 44.27 seconds is difficult to surpass, I still have more than two years. How can I know that there is really no hope if I don't try?"

After hearing Su Yu's answer, Zhan Youming couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then his vicious claws pinched Su Yu's cheeks.

"Hehe, okay, okay, okay, okay, I just like our Su Xiaoyu's arrogant look!"

As he spoke, Su Yu tried to slap Zhan Youming's claws away viciously, but after he finally slapped Zhan Youming's claws away, this guy nodded seriously.

"Well, Su Xiaoyu, your cheek flesh feels good."

Su Yu: “……=_=+++!”

Seeing that Su Yu's face was red from being rubbed by him, he was just about to apologize and comfort the child when they saw the men's 110-meter hurdles group stage officially started on the TV in the lounge.

Among them, Zhang Siyao of the Chinese team will appear in the second group of the group stage, while Lin Jun will appear in the fourth group.

In the lounge, the two stopped laughing at the same time, including Dr. Liao, who had been watching the two playing together, and the team nutritionist and others, all focused their attention on the live broadcast of the game.

This tense atmosphere continued until Zhang Siyao from the second group of the preliminaries successfully qualified for the next round with a score of 13.35 seconds. Then the atmosphere suddenly relaxed and turned into a joyful one.

But unfortunately, this joy could not be maintained to the end - although Lin Jun, who appeared in the fourth group of the preliminaries, had performed well, his final result of 13.63 seconds still made him miss the semi-finals.

In the lounge, someone sighed softly, but no one said anything further.

After watching the 110-meter hurdles group match, the door of the Chinese team's locker room was knocked open, and staff came to inform Su Yu and Zhan Youming that they should go for warm-up preparations.

Zhan Youming and Su Yu stood up almost at the same time. Zhan Youming glanced at the young man who was about to go to the battlefield with him, and smiled heartily: "Okay, let's go, Su Xiaoyu - it's our turn next."

Su Yu nodded without saying anything. He just picked up his sports bag silently. After nodding to Dr. Liao and others, he stood up and left the lounge with Zhan Youming.

***

In the live commentary room of the domestic sports channel, although Lin Jun's elimination in the previous 110-meter hurdles was a bit regrettable, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming are professional commentators after all. After a brief review of the past, they began to look more towards the future.

"In the 110-meter hurdles event, we once had a genius who shocked the world. This undoubtedly shows that the Chinese have great potential in this event."

"15 years ago, the 110-meter hurdles was still an unpopular event in China. But 15 years later, we already have outstanding athletes like Zhang Siyao and Lin Jun. I believe that in the near future, there will be more outstanding 110-meter hurdles athletes in China. All we need to do is to maintain support and wait patiently."

…

As Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming told their stories, the track and field fans and onlookers in front of the TV and the Internet still felt a little regretful. However, this feeling of regret was completely forgotten by most people when Tian Ruhui and others announced that the semi-final of the men's 200-meter sprint was about to begin...!

On the public screen of Jigu Video’s live broadcast room——

[Ahhhh, 200 meters is finally here!] ! 】

[Xiao Zhan, go, go, go. Yu Di, go, go, go!] 】

[I’m getting ready and waiting for this match...! I didn’t get to see Yu Di’s performance in the previous 400m qualifying round. Damn it. I envy those guys who could watch the competition live! 】

[Let me confirm, in the men's 200m race later, Yu Di will appear first, followed by Xiao Zhan, right? 】

[Yes, yes, Yudi is in the first group of the semi-finals, and Xiao Zhan is in the second group of the semi-finals! I even know the order of their moves by heart: Yu Di is the eighth and Xiao Zhan is the sixth! Another six and a hair, Yu Di and Xiao Zhan will definitely win! ! ! Ahhhh! 】

It can be seen that these track and field fans and spectators on the Internet are already eager for the show - there is no way, as they said, of Su Yu's two competitions tonight, the 400-meter qualifying round was not broadcast live.

Originally, no one cared. After all, it was just a qualifying round. As long as it was confirmed that Su Yu could advance smoothly, it would be enough.

Who would have thought that Su Yu could break the national 400-meter sprint record in a mere qualifying round?

After learning that Su Yu's result broke the record, the hungry track and field fans on the Internet were not happy at the time. They squatted under the official Weibo of the sports channel and Jigu Video, clamoring for the official photos of Su Yu's 400m qualifying preliminaries.

Unfortunately, this official video is now only available from the organizers of the World Championships, and the Sports Channel and Jigu Video are unable to produce this game video for those who are eager to watch it.

Track and field fans can only follow the Weibo of the national track and field team staff who are watching the game, or hope that the Chinese track and field fans who are watching the game can be kind enough to show them a live video...

It was just that Han Yiqing and his team, who were watching the game live, were too excited about the previous match, and the game video they recorded was even more crazy than the version recorded by Zhou Yuang.

Domestic track and field fans have been waiting for so long but still can’t get any good news. However, from the news they have dug up, they can finally learn that Su Yu is in very good shape today!

Very good...How good is it?

Everyone couldn't help but look forward to it, eagerly awaiting Su Yu's performance in the men's 200-meter sprint semi-final that was about to begin.
