I Am Not a Born Champion [Sports]

Before his rebirth, Su Yu was watching the live broadcast of the national team's gold medal sprint coach, Pei Dingshan.

The scene from ten years ago appeared before his eyes.

He was...

Chapter 192 (Four in One)

Chapter 192 (Four in One)

On the court, Su Yu supported his knees with his hands, and took a long time to breathe and adjust himself before he stood up again.

At this time, the electronic screen on the field had replayed the scene when the players finally crossed the finish line in the previous game - the first player to cross the line was undoubtedly Cameron Ewers of the American team, and there was no doubt that Su Yu completely overtook Federico in the last 15 meters or so.

The ones whose results were really hard to distinguish on the field were Federico and Emil. After being overtaken by Su Yu, Emil tried his best to overtake Su Yu in the last 30 meters of the sprint. In the end, Emil failed to overtake Su Yu, but at the finish line, he was already infinitely close to Federico who was also overtaken by Su Yu.

In the last ten or so meters, Federico's condition was slightly affected because he was overtaken by Su Yu, and he was almost overtaken by Emil again. Fortunately, it was only the last ten or so meters at that time, and Emil had no chance to overtake him. The two crossed the finish line almost at the same time.

Even through the replay on the large electronic screen at the scene, we could only see that Federico seemed to be leading by a distance. Most people thought that the two should have crossed the finish line at the same time.

However, for this aspect of the judgment, the referee team has the footage recorded by the finish line camera for reference.

Therefore, soon after the finish line camera footage was shown on the electronic screen at the scene, the ranking between Federico and Emil was also answered.

Although Emil was about to catch up with Federico in the final stage, Federico finally crossed the finish line first and finished third in the group.

When Su Yu stood up, he looked up and saw the final screenshot of the finish line being announced on the large electronic screen. Not far from Su Yu, Federico breathed a sigh of relief after seeing his final ranking - fortunately, although he failed to hold on to the second position, he at least did not drop to fourth.

On the other side, when Emile saw the final ranking, the expression on his face was obviously a bit bad. He wiped his face, then raised his head and looked in the direction of the big screen, waiting for the final judgment of his game.

Soon, after the large electronic screen on site showed the final finishing line of this group, the screen flashed and the final ranking and results of the contestants in this group appeared.

2020 Tokyo Olympics Track and Field Men's 100m Sprint Semi-finals Second Group Final Results -

First place: Cameron Ewers (USA), 9.90 seconds (wind speed +0.4m/s), Q (direct qualification);

Second place: Su Yu (China), 9.95 seconds (wind speed 0.4m/s), WU20R, Q;

Third place: Federico Segli (Italy), 9.97 seconds (.131) (wind speed 0.4m/s);

Fourth place: Emil Erasmus (South Africa), 9.97 seconds (0.139) (wind speed 0.4m/s);

Fifth place: …

When the results of this group of semi-finals were finally shown on the large electronic screen, the audience once again erupted in enthusiastic cheers and screams.

"9.95 seconds! A new world U20 record for men's 100 meters!!!"

In the live broadcast room of the domestic sports channel, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, with their years of commentary experience, had already realized that the overall speed and condition of the players in this game were faster than the first group of the semi-finals. Su Yu was able to successfully take the second place in the group and advance directly, which should have refreshed his personal best record that he had just created in the preliminaries.

But after seeing Su Yu's final result, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming couldn't help but exclaim!

9.95 seconds!

New world U20 record!

In other words, it is a new world U20 record and the world U18 best result!

Tian Ruhui excitedly shouted to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Dear viewers! In the semi-finals of the men's 100-meter sprint at the Tokyo Olympics, our young athlete Su Yu not only broke his personal best record in the preliminaries with a time of 9.95 seconds, but also broke the former world men's 100-meter sprint U20 record of 9.97 seconds set by American athlete Alex Thomas in 2014!"

At the same time, more and more viewers were arriving on the public screen of the live broadcast room because of the explosive trending searches on Weibo and word of mouth among the viewers.

At this time, the original track and field fans, Olympic spectators and new audience friends in the live broadcast room were making a lot of noise.

The public screen in the live broadcast room was filled with people screaming and cheering, some expressing their disbelief, and some laughing out loud.

Needless to say, those who screamed and cheered were those who couldn't believe it. Those who were just spectators of sports events had a certain degree of understanding of the sports, but did not watch the games based on personal judgment.

[Incredible, just saw the trending search on Weibo, Su Yu made it to the Olympic men’s 100m sprint final? ! 】

[Oh my God, can a Chinese athlete also make it to the Olympic men's 100-meter sprint final? ! 】

[I do know that Su Yu also made it to the finals of the World Championships last year, but didn’t everyone at the time say that Su Yu was just lucky?

The Olympics is much more grand than the World Championships, and those top athletes usually attach more importance to the Olympics. I saw the pre-match analysis, and most of them said that Su Yu should have no chance of making it to the Olympic finals, and the only glimmer of hope should be Zheng Tianxi... But Su Yu actually made it? ! 】

[My friend mentioned above, it’s more than just success! And it’s 9.95 seconds! ! 9.95 seconds at the age of 17! My God, what kind of person is this...】

【Not only did he make it to the finals, but he also broke the U20 100m world record! 】

The above were just expressions of shock, while those who laughed out loud were purely targeting Tian Ruhui's explanation.

[Hahahaha, Teacher Tian, ​​your tone sounds very impatient! 】

[Laughing to death——Former world record, these five words are really clearly arranged. 】

[This is incredible. When Su Yu ran 9.98 seconds in the preliminaries, some people said that Su Yu was not far from the U20 record...]

After all, Alex's previous U20 record for the 100 meters was 9.97 seconds, which was only 0.01 seconds away from Su Yu's 9.98 seconds at the time.

However, most people still think that it is not so easy for Su Yu to create a new WU20R at the current stage - after all, just look at Feng Chuming, who successfully broke 9.99 two years ago. Even though he maintained high-intensity training and competitions, he only ran 9.99 again in the Olympic semi-finals.

Even if this is due to Feng Chuming's declining condition, one can still imagine how difficult it is for an athlete to break his own record after approaching his peak.

However, Su Yu is a 17-year-old young player in his rising period after all, so most people believe that Su Yu will definitely be able to achieve better results - probably in the next season or even later in the future.

Who could have imagined the result? !

A day later, in today's men's 100m sprint semi-final, Su Yu successfully broke the original world U20 record of 9.97 seconds with his amazing performance, and brought this record to 9.95 seconds!

Looking at the record created by Su Yu, many viewers who had been following Su Yu before the Olympics couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

They still remember that before the Olympics began... or before the end of the IAAF Challenge in Osaka, Japan, there were many comments on the Internet questioning Su Yu's performance in the new season.

Looking back now and comparing those remarks with Su Yu’s current achievements, it is really a slap in the face.

And those who said before the Olympics that Su Yu’s schedule wasn’t that tight…

Now it seems that Su Yu’s schedule is more than just as simple as predicted before the start of the game? !

The track and field enthusiasts who made the schedule predictions at that time did not dare to predict that Su Yu could advance to the men's 100m final, so all the predictions for Su Yu's individual events were only for the preliminaries and semifinals.

But now, Su Yu also made it to the finals in the men's 100-meter sprint after the World Championships, and the pressure of the schedule on Su Yu is undoubtedly greater.

At this moment, the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly realized that in Su Yu's semi-final, the results of the top four players had reached 9.97 seconds. In other words, Feng Chuming, who was originally ranked first among the remaining players in the first group of preliminaries, missed the Olympic finals with his result of 9.99 seconds.

[Alas, it’s a pity for Feng Chuming…]

Many people sighed and expressed regret for Feng Chuming in the live broadcast room, but glory, honor, sweat and regret coexist, which is one of the charms of competitive sports.

After the regrets, there is more excitement and carnival.

Not only the spectators who were watching the game on site and online, but also Feng Chuming, who was standing in front of Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong and had just watched Su Yu's game, cheered loudly for Su Yu when he saw Su Yu cross the finish line and saw Su Yu's results.

When seeing Su Yu's ranking and results, Feng Chuming couldn't help but have tears of excitement welling up on his iron-like face.

At that moment, he seemed to have understood the belief that Su Yu wanted to convey - don't worry, the future is in my hands.

***

When everyone in the Chinese athletes' area saw Su Yu's result of 9.95 seconds, enthusiastic and excited cheers once again resounded throughout the area.

However, some people were excited, while others quickly began to devote themselves to the necessary preparations.

After Sun Gaoshu successfully crossed the finish line in Su Yu, he excitedly hugged Zheng Sheng, Liu Qinlong and others for a while, and then quickly remembered - logistics! !

He immediately called the person in charge of the logistics team.

"How's the preparation going in the lounge?!"

The person in charge of the logistics team had obviously already known the good news that Su Yu had successfully advanced to the semi-finals: "Coach Sun, don't worry! Everything is ready. As long as Su Yu returns to the backcourt, he can immediately enter the liquid nitrogen cryotherapy chamber. Everything else has also been arranged. The massage team leader Liao Yongming is also on standby at any time!"

Sun Gaoshu responded with a "OK".

In fact, he should have gone to the backcourt lounge now, but with Su Yu's results coming out, the second group of semi-finalists withdrew, and Zheng Tianxi from the third group was about to take the stage.

Sun Gaoshu had an unrealistic thought in his mind - Su Yu had successfully advanced to the finals, so what about Zheng Tianxi? !

Two players from the Chinese team advance to the finals at the same time... Is this possibility possible?

Sun Gaoshu held the phone in his hand and kept looking towards the backcourt, while at the same time he couldn't help but look at Zheng Tianxi who was about to appear on the court.

Zheng Sheng and Liu Qinlong who were standing nearby also rarely saw Sun Gaoshu so nervous and restless.

Finally, Zheng Sheng patted Sun Gaoshu on the shoulder and said, "Coach Sun, Zheng Tianxi will be here soon. Let's watch it first before we leave."

"Cui Daize is watching over the backfield. There are special staff members, doctors from the research team, and Liao Yongming from the massage team watching over all the work. What can you do in the backfield?"

Perhaps what Zheng Sheng said made sense, Sun Gaoshu finally stayed at the scene, ready to wait for Zheng Tianxi's game that was about to begin.

***

In the waiting corridor, Zheng Tianxi, who was in the third group of the semi-finals, had been waiting for the next game for a long time.

During the long waiting time today, although he behaved as usual, Zheng Tianxi knew that he was in a highly tense state.

He knew that being overly tense was not good, but facing the last Olympics of his career, he really couldn't calm himself down.

For him, as a player who led China's men's 100m sprint from the 10-second mark to the world of under 10 seconds, as a talented, ambitious, responsible and mission-leading Chinese sprinter to the pinnacle of the Olympic 100m has always been his most persistent desire.

And when the Olympic arena that he most desires as a sprinter and the captain of the Chinese sprint team is right in front of him...

Even with his firm belief and ability to withstand stress, he could only ease his emotions slightly.

Zheng Tianxi knew that his current condition was a bit bad and it was difficult for him to control his speed well, so just in case, after the warm-up for the semi-final began, he made up his mind - no matter what, in this semi-final, he needed to exert all his strength directly!

Of course he knew that for the sake of his final result, the best option was to keep his better condition for the finals.

But he had no choice.

After all, if he fails to lead the Chinese team to the finals, his deepest desire will not be achieved. What is the point of being in better shape then?

...This thought remained in my mind until the end of the second group of the semi-finals.

When Zheng Tianxi saw Su Yu successfully cross the finish line as the second in the group, his eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't help but take two more steps towards the TV in the waiting passage.

Then, what he heard was the overwhelming and enthusiastic cheering outside the waiting passage, mixed with the familiar Chinese voice.

All the voices were shouting in unison - Su Yu!

"Su Yu..."

At this moment, Zheng Tianxi looked at Su Yu, who was so exhausted that he couldn't stand up on the TV screen, and the panting child on TV. Zheng Tianxi remembered what Su Yu had said in the post-match interview of yesterday's preliminaries -

[Now you are supporting me in front of me, and I will do the same in the future. 】

Zheng Tianxi's heart skipped a beat.

He also understood what Su Yu meant in this game - this kid did not wait for the vague future, but has already begun to support a new world for the Chinese team and his teammates.

This kid...!

Zheng Tianxi suddenly remembered that at the end of the warm-up for the semi-final, Su Yu once said to him: Captain Zheng, just don’t worry and play well.

All the heavy pressure that was originally on Zheng Tianxi was simply lifted at this moment.

The 17-year-old boy relieved the pressure on him in the most direct way.

At this moment, Zheng Tianxi suddenly closed his eyes - the heavy pressure on him seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

Zheng Tianxi could feel that his ability to control his body had returned.

When he opened his eyes again, his face was filled with complete determination and confidence.

Su Yu has already removed the heaviest burden from him - if under such circumstances, he is still unable to best arrange his condition and performance, then how can he have the face to go back to see his teammates after the game? !

***

Finally, after confirming their results, the contestants in the second group of the semi-finals began to leave the venue in an orderly manner under the guidance of the on-site staff.

At this moment, the contestants in the third group of the semi-finals also entered the competition venue one after another.

“Zheng Tianxi!!”

In the live commentary room of the domestic sports channel, as the third group of semi-final players appeared on the stage, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming excitedly turned their attention to Zheng Tianxi.

Audiences who often follow track and field events know that Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming have always been very cautious. Whenever a competitor comes on stage, they can't wait to give the competitor a thick layer of 'buff' to tell the audience how difficult the competition is and how fluctuating the athletes' competitive state is.

But today, facing the upcoming Olympic semi-finals, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming could not help but discuss another possibility -

"Here they come! The third group of semi-finalists have come on stage. Zheng Tianxi, our country's top male 100-meter sprinter, is in this semi-final group."

"Just now, our talented young athlete Su Yu successfully won a ticket to the Olympic men's 100-meter sprint final with a score of 9.95 seconds. In the next game, can Zheng Tianxi also play his outstanding form and snatch another ticket from the eight opponents on the field?!"

“Let’s wait and see!”

The audience in the live broadcast room and in front of the TV listened to the passionate voices of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, and everyone's expectations were raised to the highest point in an instant!

yes!

In the second group of the semi-finals, Su Yu has successfully entered the finals... But who stipulates that the Chinese team can only have one player successfully enter the finals of the Olympic men's 100m sprint? !

Su Yu can do it, Zheng Tianxi... of course also has a chance to advance!

When this idea popped up in everyone's mind, the audience in front of the TV were once again worried!

As for the new viewers in the Jigu video live broadcast room, they originally thought that they had missed the second group of Su Yu's semi-final match, but unexpectedly, the next one was Zheng Tianxi's semi-final!

so……

Perhaps they really have a chance to see Zheng Tianxi break through the siege in this semi-final and enter the final? !

When this thought came to mind, everyone tensed up nervously.

At the same time, in the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were introducing the eight contestants in this game:

"In the men's 100-meter sprint semi-finals, the runners in lanes 2 to 9 are Brayan Manfredi of Italy in lane 2, Brandon McLean of the United States in lane 3, Romario Ferguson of Jamaica in lane 4, Zheng Tianxi of China in lane 5, Louis Payne of Australia in lane 6, Emmanuel Okoye of Nigeria in lane 7, Miguel Talbot of Britain in lane 8, and Chedrick Ferns of South Africa in lane 9."

The runners on the eight tracks were called out one by one. When Zheng Tianxi, who was in the fifth track, was called out, Zhou Jiming smiled and said, "In this Tokyo Olympic sprint event, perhaps 5 will be the 'lucky number' for the Chinese team."

The audiences in front of the TV and on the Internet all smiled knowingly after hearing what Zhou Jiming said - it can be seen that Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming are expecting Zheng Tianxi to continue Su Yu's performance in the second group of the semi-finals, and successfully win the final qualification for the next semi-final!

After introducing the countries and lanes of this group of players, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming also briefly introduced the preliminary results of these players.

In fact, the performance situation can be slightly glimpsed from the lanes of the athletes - like the American athlete Brandon McLean in this group, who is actually an athlete who ran 9.77 seconds this season, but he did not perform well in the preliminaries.

In the preliminaries, Brandon was in the same group as Su Yu, and he only made it through with fourth place in the group. He ultimately qualified for the next round based on the ranking of the remaining players, so in this semifinal, he was only in the third lane.

In a similar situation was Miguel Talbot, a British athlete in lane eight. This British star who had the ability to break 9.90 seconds did not try his best in the preliminaries and only barely advanced.

And for example, Australian athlete Louis Payne in lane 6, his personal best this season is actually only 10.01 seconds. For these athletes who know they are not strong enough, they often try their best in the preliminaries to fight for a place in the semi-finals. Therefore, sometimes their ranking in the preliminaries will appear to be better than that of stronger athletes.

However, this kind of excellence can only last until the semi-finals - unless they can break through themselves in the semi-finals and run a time that breaks the ten-second mark, thereby winning the qualification to advance to the finals.

The situation of the players in Zheng Tianxi's group is similar to that in Su Yu's group - or in fact, judging from the players' performance values, the opponents in Zheng Tianxi's group are more difficult to deal with than those in Feng Chuming and Su Yu's groups.

For example, in the semi-finals, there were only five players who failed to break the ten-second mark, of which Feng Chuming and Su Yu were in two each. In Zheng Tianxi's group, only the Australian player Louis Payne had a personal best of 10.01 seconds.

The results of the other contestants have all broken the 10-second mark for the 100 meters.

In terms of the upper limit of the athletes' performance, this group includes American athlete Brandon McLean, who just ran 9.77 seconds this season, and British athlete Miguel Talbot, who also broke his personal best this season with a time of 9.89 seconds.

In addition, Jamaican talented young player Romario Ferguson successfully entered the World Championships finals at last season's World Championships and ran a good time of 9.93 seconds. At the same time, this season, he also refreshed his personal best to 9.91 seconds.

In addition, the strength of young player Emmanuel Okoye from Nigeria should not be underestimated.

Facing such an opponent lineup, Zheng Tianxi remained in a highly tense state ten minutes ago. He originally planned to try his best to lead the Chinese team into the Olympic final regardless of his own condition in the final.

But now, standing in front of the starting blocks in the fifth lane, Zheng Tianxi was unusually calm and at ease.

When the live camera swept over Zheng Tianxi, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming in the live commentary room of the domestic sports channel could not help but praise Zheng Tianxi after seeing his condition -

"Zheng Tianxi looks very good!"

Zhou Jiming also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Zheng Tianxi currently looks relaxed and seems to have some confidence in this semi-final."

Tian Ruhui also said with emotion: "Teacher Zhou, it seems that I haven't seen Zheng Tianxi in such a relaxed state before the game for a long time."

Zhou Jiming responded with a "yes".

As for why Zheng Tianxi was able to be so relaxed in tonight's Olympic 100m semi-final, which was related to his career dream?

Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming looked at each other and both understood that all this was due to Su Yu's existence.

For Zheng Tianxi, he originally had a heavy burden on his shoulders. Even though Feng Chuming could share some of the burden for him in the past, this heavy burden still remained on Zheng Tianxi's shoulders.

This is the inevitable result of the talents and strengths of Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming.

Just like tonight's semi-final, if Su Yu was not there, then when Feng Chuming failed to successfully advance to the finals, the pressure on Zheng Tianxi would never allow him to deal with the semi-final so easily at this time.

No matter how strong a player is, it is difficult for him to relax when he is alone - this is the responsibility that a strong person must bear.

Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were looking at Zheng Tianxi on the field and were sincerely happy for him.

——As the Optimus Prime of China's sprinting program, Zheng Tianxi has been supporting the team on his own for too long. Now, as he embarks on the last Olympic event of his career, he has teammates around him who can provide him with support.

——Inheritance.

The day before, this word that Su Yu said in an interview after the preliminaries finally echoed deeply in the minds of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming.

Yes, inheritance.

In any event, if there is only one strongest player but no successors, the former glory will eventually disappear after the player who supports the project retires.

When a project embarks on the path of orderly inheritance and young talented players emerge day by day, then this project will eventually become stronger.

Now, China's sprinting event has undoubtedly gradually embarked on the right track. In addition to Su Yu, young athletes such as Ye Minghao, Zhou Yuang and Jiang Ruohui have emerged.

With Su Yu as a 'big umbrella' holding up the front, China's sprinting project... may really begin to flourish.

***

Zheng Tianxi on the field naturally didn't know anything happening outside the field at this time. He was standing on the track with concentration, looking at the 100-meter track in front of him, with determination and firm belief in his eyes.

For him, in this game, there is only success - no failure!

When the commentator on the scene began to remind the audience to keep quiet, the entire stadium changed from noisy to tense and quiet before the game started.

As the audience quieted down, the official starter on the scene quickly gave the first command -

"Everyone, take your positions!"

On the track, eight athletes quickly circled to the starting line, supported themselves with their hands, and quickly squatted on their respective starting blocks, and began to wait attentively for the next command from the starter.

The starter also did not let the players wait too long. After he confirmed that all the players on the field were in place, new instructions were quickly given -

"preparation!"

In an instant, all the contestants supported themselves on the ground with their hands, raised their hips, and bent their knees slightly. The next second, the starting gun sounded with a "bang"...!

“The game begins!!!”

***

At the Chinese players' area, at the moment the starting gun sounded, the Chinese team members began waving their small flags and cheering loudly for Zheng Tianxi on the field.

"Come on, Team Zheng! Team Zheng, charge!"

“The Chinese team will win!!!”

In the frenetic atmosphere of the stadium, cheers and screams mixed together, and the wild waves of sound swept across the stadium, turning into a force that pushed the players forward with all their strength!

At this time, in the Chinese player zone, Sun Gaoshu's eyes were fixed on Zheng Tianxi on the field.

very good! The start was outstanding! !

Zheng Tianxi is a player who is about 180 cm tall. He has strong leg strength and excellent explosive power, which is also one of his biggest advantages.

Just like the semi-final in front of him, Zheng Tianxi's starting burst was accompanied by a powerful kicking and stretching frequency, a strong and powerful starting kicking and stretching, and a quick push-off to start. His top explosive power and good technique matched him, allowing him to burst out with an unstoppable momentum and posture on the field!

In just the first thirty meters, he has already clearly taken the lead and is currently ranked first in the competition!

In contrast to Zheng Tianxi's condition is American player Brandon McLean in the third lane.

As Zheng Tianxi's most threatening and powerful opponent in this game, Brandon's starting burst did not seem so smooth.

His reaction speed at the start is not slow, and his reaction speed of 0.142 seconds can be said to be in quite good condition.

But at the same time, perhaps because Zheng Tianxi's start in the fifth lane was too strong, Brandon felt a strong sense of crisis. Originally, Brandon did not plan to perform too well in the semi-finals. Although the top four in the second group of the semi-finals all ran within 10 seconds, Brandon did not think that would be the norm.

Moreover, even if it is normal, in this race, as long as he can run around 9.95 seconds, he can definitely easily win a place in the finals.

Therefore, Brandon did not have too much pressure before, and he thought he could easily get the top two in the group.

It was not until the starting gun sounded that he saw Zheng Tianxi from the Chinese team in the fifth lane out of the corner of his eye!

He knew Zheng Tianxi and knew that he was an opponent with great prospects and strength. However, he rarely met Zheng Tianxi in games this season, and his memory of Zheng Tianxi only stayed in last season.

Brandon didn't take Zheng Tianxi too seriously, but just now, Zheng Tianxi's momentum at the start made him subconsciously want to catch up with Zheng Tianxi's rhythm during the start, burst and acceleration phase!

It’s outrageous. The explosive power for the future completely crushes others!

Brandon subconsciously wanted to catch up, but his sudden change of mind made his body unable to keep up with the change in his thoughts, so there was some imbalance in his body's movements and explosive power during the process of starting, bursting into action and accelerating.

When he realized this, the alarm bells in his heart instantly rang - it's over!

Brandon started to sprint at full speed, trying to make up for his mistake, but his opponent in this arena was not just Zheng Tianxi!

To his right was Romario Ferguson in lane 4, Miguel in lane 8, and Emanuel in lane 7...

Every capable contestant present does not want to miss the opportunity to advance to the finals!

While Brandon made a mistake, Miguel, a British player in lane eight, had already surpassed him and was following closely behind Zheng Tianxi.

Romario in the fourth lane and Emmanuel in the seventh lane were not to be outdone and kept almost the same pace as Brandon!

At the same time, Zheng Tianxi, who was at the front, maintained his leading position and was sprinting towards the finish line with all his strength!

"First!!!"

In the live commentary room of the domestic sports channel, the voices of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were ignited again the moment this semi-final began!

"Zheng Tianxi is currently ranked first in this semi-final group!!"

“Behind him are Miguel from England and Romario from Jamaica!!”

"American runner Brandon seemed to have an accident at the start and is currently ranked fifth!"

The situation on the field changed rapidly. Emanuel, who was originally in the fourth lane, overtook Romario, who was in third place, at nearly 60 meters, but Romario also held on tightly and refused to let go.

Zheng Tianxi, who was at the front, had already slowed down, but he still maintained a steady pace and sprinted towards the finish line!

Tian Ruhui looked at Zheng Tianxi's face that flashed across the screen. He could see that Zheng Tianxi's face was faintly excited, without too much pressure, and it seemed that he even had a little strength left...!

After this discovery, Tian Ruhui became even more excited: "Zheng Tianxi is in excellent condition!!! Keep it up!!"

"The last 40 meters! 30 meters!!!"

At this moment, the Chinese audience in the audience seats had already fallen into complete madness.

Many of these spectators from China were simply tourists who wanted to experience the Olympic atmosphere. As a result, during the second group of the semi-finals, they witnessed a miracle and history on the spot.

Now, the time has come to the third group of the men's 100-meter sprint semi-finals.

These audiences from China never imagined that at this time they would have the chance to witness the birth of a miracle again! ! !

Watching Zheng Tianxi on the field marching towards the finish line step by step with the first place in the group, the audience, who had screamed until they were hoarse in the previous match of Su Yu, once again shouted loudly and enthusiastically -

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!! Jung Chun-seok!!!”

"Come on, Team Zheng!!!"

Crazy shouts broke through the sky. Everyone was waving the national flag in their hands and shouting loudly with a fanatical look on their faces.

“Come on, come on!!!”

"Go China!!!"

As these passionate cheers gathered above the stadium, this excitement seemed to also ignite Zheng Tianxi on the field.

In the last 20 meters, Miguel, the famous British athlete in the eighth lane, had gradually caught up with Zheng Tianxi who had begun to slow down. But at this time, Zheng Tianxi stabilized his speed and slightly accelerated in the final sprint stage...!

"Zheng Tianxi!!!!"

In the live commentary room of the sports channel, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming watched this scene, and their excited screams broke through the sky! !

Zheng Tianxi on the field successfully defended his position in the last 20 meters, and won a precious spot in the final in this group of semi-finals with the first place in the group! ! !

"Zheng Tianxi!!!"

Tian Ruhui raised his voice again, and looked at the live broadcast screen excitedly, his voice choked with excitement: "Zheng Tianxi!! Congratulations to Zheng Tianxi, after Su Yu, he also successfully broke into the men's 100m final of this Tokyo Olympics!! "

“Dear audience, this is a miracle!”

"Tonight, our young athlete Su Yu and his senior Zheng Tianxi, the strongest men of two eras in China's sprint events, will meet in the final of the Tokyo Olympics!!"

"They broke the shackles of 'the Olympic 100m final is a forbidden zone for yellow people', and with their strong strength and indomitable momentum, they achieved the centenary of the Olympic Games in Chinese track and field.

The dream of luck! ”

"Once upon a time, the first generation of Chinese athletes traveled across the ocean alone and returned home with regrets when they first stepped into the Olympic arena. Once upon a time, Chinese track and field athletes struggled with the theory that 'yellow people cannot break the 10-second barrier'. Once upon a time, our sprinters were eliminated in the preliminaries in international competitions many times..."

"China's sprint race has been waiting for such a moment for too long..."

In the live commentary room, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming could no longer conceal their sobs of excitement in their voices at this moment.

Once upon a time, once upon a time.

Chinese athletes are still struggling to achieve the qualifying score in an Olympic sprint event.

And now, Su Yu, Zheng Tianxi...

They staged a real miracle in today's Olympic semi-finals!

And the name of this miracle is Chinese Sprint!

In the Chinese player zone, when everyone saw Zheng Tianxi successfully advance to the finals as the first in the group, everyone hugged each other again in tears of ecstasy.

“That’s great!! That’s great!!”

Not only Su Yu, Zheng Tianxi also successfully entered the Olympic 100m final! !

This miracle, which no one dared to imagine before the Olympics, was happening right before their eyes!

Some people couldn't even believe what was happening before their eyes, until their companions rushed over to hug them, and then they started to cheer wildly with their companions!

After Sun Gaoshu hugged Zheng Sheng and Liu Qinlong, he pushed them away and ran towards the Chinese team's locker room in the backcourt.

Zheng Sheng watched Sun Gaoshu's movements and shouted to him, "Coach Sun, the results! Zheng Tianxi's results haven't come out yet!"

Sun Gaoshu ran and replied from a distance: "It's not important!"

Listening to Sun Gaoshu's reply, Zheng Sheng patted his head and said, "Oh, my brain, Zheng Tianxi has already qualified directly as the first in the group, so the result is not important."

After saying this, Zheng Sheng also laughed. But when he turned around and was about to continue speaking, he saw that Pei Dingshan's seat was already empty.

He turned around and looked at Liu Qinlong in surprise: "Old Liu, where is Coach Xiao Pei?"

Seeing Zheng Sheng's surprised look, Liu Qinlong said speechlessly, "He left a long time ago. He went to the backcourt just after the results of Su Yu's semi-final match came out."

Hearing Liu Qinlong's answer, Zheng Sheng was surprised, then smiled and shook his head and said: "This little coach Pei really regards Su Yu as his eyeballs."

Liu Qinlong looked at him speechlessly and said, "Old Zheng, you said that as if Zhan Youming is not the apple of your eye. Look at Coach Sun, isn't Zheng Tianxi also his apple of your eye?"

"Let's not talk about this. Now only Su Yu has Coach Xiao Pei as his supervisor and training coach. If Su Yu was under your name, would you not treat him as the apple of your eye? Let alone under your name, just say that you don't treat Su Yu as the apple of your eye normally?"

Liu Qinlong's series of complaints left Zheng Sheng unable to fight back.

At this moment, the screen on the scene flashed, and the final result of Zheng Tianxi's group appeared on the electronic screen.

2020 Tokyo Olympics Track and Field Men's 100m Sprint Semi-finals Group 3 Final Results -

First place: Zheng Tianxi (China), 9.91 seconds (wind speed 0.9m/s), SB (season best result), Q (direct qualification);

Second place: Miguel Talbot (UK), 9.96 seconds (wind speed 0.9m/s), Q;

Third place: Emmanuel Okoye (Nigeria), 9.98 seconds (wind speed 0.9m/s);

Fourth place: …

When the track and field fans who were celebrating in the Jigu video live broadcast room saw Zheng Tianxi's final result, the atmosphere, which was already completely burning, suddenly reached a new level!

[9.91 seconds!] ! ! 】

[Ahhhh, Captain Zheng, you’re awesome again! ! 】

[Help! Is our Chinese team’s sprinting already so strong? In the semi-finals, Feng Chuming scored 9.99 seconds, Su Yu scored 9.95 seconds, and Zheng scored 9.91 seconds! Everyone broke through the ten-second mark! ! 】

[Damn, dammit, let me see who is still saying that the Chinese team has no hope for the future! Look who is saying that the Chinese team’s current results are just a fluke! ! 】

In the live commentary room of the sports channel, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming became excited again after seeing Zheng Tianxi's result.

At the same time, after seeing his final result, Zheng Tianxi on the field waved his hands happily, waved towards the Chinese players' seats in the audience seats and the audience in other directions, and then walked towards the backcourt locker room with the relaxed steps of finally realizing his wish.

When he was halfway through the reporter pit, he was not surprised to see Liu Yu, Lin Weixiong, Feng Chuming and Su Yu all waiting for him there.

After they met, they hugged each other.

Feng Chuming smiled and patted Zheng Tianxi on the shoulder, his tone excited: "Congratulations!"

As teammates for ten years, the friendship and sincerity between them need no further explanation.

After hugging Feng Chuming, Zheng Tianxi also hugged Su Yu solemnly. Looking at the child whose complexion had barely recovered, he said to him seriously: "Xiao Yu, thank you!"

Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong looked at Zheng Tianxi's reaction, looked at each other, and felt quite emotional.

Just now, Zheng Tianxi was not the first person to say thank you to Su Yu. When Su Yu came here, Feng Chuming saw Su Yu and the first sentence he said to him was congratulations, and the second sentence was also thank you.

At first, the two of them didn't know what Feng Chuming meant by "thank you". Lin Weixiong originally thought that Feng Chuming regretted that he could not successfully advance to the finals, so after seeing Su Yu successfully advance, he said thank you to him.

But after thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong.

It was only after Liu Yu thought about the situation of the Chinese team and the pressure on Zheng Tianxi that he figured out the real reason behind it.

Now seeing Zheng Tianxi thanking Su Yu in the same way, he was even more certain of the reason behind it.

After figuring out the key, Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong admired Su Yu even more - at such a young age, with a heavy burden on his shoulders, he was willing to go all out for his teammates.

In the following live interview, before Liu Yu asked this question, Zheng Tianxi spoke first:

"I am very happy to have successfully advanced to the finals today. I would also like to thank my teammate Su Yu. He knew the pressure I was under in today's competition, so in order to help reduce the pressure on me, he went all out in the 100m semi-finals, even though he had a heavy schedule ahead. He successfully qualified for the finals and relieved the huge pressure on me."

Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong were both shocked when they saw Zheng Tianxi's answer - even if Su Yu did make such a contribution in the game, it usually shouldn't be said like this in a live interview.

After all, some viewers may not understand the pressure and mutual support on the contestants and may find it confusing instead.

But Zheng Tianxi still said it.

During the interview, he turned sideways to look at Su Yu beside him and said bluntly: "I don't like to say nice things, but I am very grateful to Su Yu for letting me feel the power of support in this game."

"In the upcoming finals, I will go all out and will not let your hard work and support go to waste!"

Su Yu looked at Zheng Tianxi in front of him, listened to his words, tilted his head, and looked at Zheng Tianxi seriously: "My all-out effort is also for myself."

After saying this, which was also an explanation for Zheng Tianxi, Su Yu raised his right hand with his palm facing down, then turned to look at Feng Chuming.

Feng Chuming quickly understood Su Yu's meaning and put his hand on the back of Su Yu's hand, followed by Zheng Tianxi.

Finally, the three of them looked at each other and waved their hands vigorously: "Come on!"

This was their ceremony before the semi-finals. At this moment, they gathered together again after the game - it was like a look back, and also an anticipation for the next final!

Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong on the side were watching them, and the Chinese audience on the other end of the live broadcast were also watching them. Just as Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong thought, some viewers did not quite understand or comprehend the pressure and dedication that Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi put in to support each other, but there were also more viewers who understood this moment and understood this emotion.

Watching the live broadcast, many people felt the surging power in their hearts at this moment.

——They could feel the firm belief of Zheng Tianxi and Su Yu in the final later.

They will give it their all.

Let’s cheer together!

Including Feng Chuming's share.

Come on, China team!
