"All out?"
Zhang Ziyi had never expected that Wang Ting would call him aside before leaving and say something like this.
"No... there are still preliminaries for the men's and mixed 4x400m relay tomorrow..."
Instinctively, Zhang Ziyi thought of this question first.
Wang Ting's first reaction when he saw Zhang Ziyi was a relieved smile on his face: "Okay, run a good race for me. This is also agreed by your coach Su. Your coach Su also said that you should run well."
"Your coach Su said that after training for so long, it's time to show off."
After hearing what Wang Ting said, Zhang Ziyi was sure that it was indeed Su Bai who said this. However, he also knew in his heart that Su Bai would not say this for no reason. It must be that his coach mentioned something to Su Bai.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Wang Ting's encouraging eyes, he closed his mouth.
He knew that if Wang Ting and Su Bai could speak to him like this, they must have considered what would happen next. Whether it was the 4*400m race or the pressure of team performance, they were ready to shoulder it all.
At this time, it is unnecessary to tell them to refuse or to consider the overall situation.
Zhang Ziyi was silent for a moment when he thought of this, and then he looked up at Wang Ting: "Coach, I understand. I will definitely try my best in this competition!"
Wang Ting looked at Zhang Ziyi's serious and determined eyes and smiled: "Go ahead, Coach Su and I are watching you!"
Here, after the two finished talking, Zhang Ziyi and Wang Ting returned to the gathering place and got on the bus.
Zhang Ziyi walked to the seat that Qiu Wen and Li Junhao had specially reserved for him, and saw Qiu Wen looking at him eagerly, with gossip clearly in his eyes, as if to say, "What did Lao Wang ask you to do?"
Seeing Qiu Wen's expression, Zhang Ziyi immediately laughed. Qiu Wen was indeed a kid whose thoughts were too easy to guess from his expression. One could tell clearly what he was thinking just by looking at his face.
Zhang Ziyi sat down, thought for a moment, and said to Qiu Wen seriously, "In the game later, we will be opponents."
?
Qiu Wen was confused for a moment and didn't quite understand: "Of course! We are rivals!"
After a pause, Qiu Wen finally realized what Zhang Ziyi meant. Then Qiu Wen's eyes flashed with confusion, puzzlement, and then excitement. He grinned, his eyes flashing with a burning fighting spirit: "Okay, let's have a good fight on the field in a while!"
Li Junhao was standing by and also listened to the conversation between the two. He waited until Qiu Wenxing finished talking to Zhang Ziyi before turning his head to the side and pretending to be casual, "You are old, so you should take it easy in the relay preliminaries tomorrow."
Hearing Li Junhao's words, Zhang Ziyi immediately laughed, and then responded with a good-tempered "OK".
From yesterday to this morning, this Asian Championships has indeed attracted quite a lot of attention in the country. After all, it is the first outdoor competition after the winter training of track and field events.
It was only after watching the competition that many viewers began to realize that there are so many events in track and field alone.
From short-distance running to long-distance running, as well as race walking, marathon, long jump, triple jump, men's and women's all-around, etc., these events are dazzling to many people. For viewers who have just started watching track and field events, it is a bit difficult to sort out the relationship between these competitions, not to mention the various details in the competition, the various athletes' techniques, and the various results of the competition.
In the past two days, in addition to questions such as "How come a certain contestant was able to enter the finals when his performance was obviously not as good as that of another contestant", there have also been confusions and questions about various topics.
A whole new group of track and field spectators have been truly introduced to the world of this sport, and these newbie questions have brought a fresh sense of vitality to track and field enthusiasts.
Some self-media in the track and field circle also saw a large number of questions raised by the audience on the Internet, and saw new opportunities from them, so they began to carry out a series of popular science on track and field events in their respective media public accounts.
Regardless of what new events the audience has taken a fancy to during the two-day competition, for these new fans of track and field who came from "Track and Field Idol Training Camp", the 400-meter sprint will definitely be their original intention in track and field events.
At 5 p.m. on April 16th local time in Doha, Qatar, it was already late at night at 10 p.m. in China, but even at this time, there were still many viewers watching TV.
From the first indoor competition after winter training to today, they finally waited for the final of the first outdoor competition after winter training.
In tonight's schedule, the women's 400m sprint and men's 400m sprint events are scheduled at 6:10pm and 6:20pm Doha time respectively, followed by a series of events including the men's 800m, all-around high jump, hammer throw finals, etc. The men's and women's 100m finals are scheduled at 8:20pm Doha time as the finale of today's full-day competition.
At this point in the domestic Internet, there are already various posts and Weibo topics discussing the evening event, and most of the topics are about whether Qiu Wen can break the 45.30 second World Athletics Championships qualifying line tonight.
Occasionally, there are some voices discussing what kind of results Zhang Ziyi can achieve tonight. Most people expect that Zhang Ziyi can once again break the national record in tonight's race. It would be even better if he can break the 45.20 mark.
Topic: [I checked the top three results of the 400-meter sprint in the past few Asian Championships. As long as you can get a result within 45.40 seconds, it will not be a problem to be in the top three. 】
Topic content: [=w=Then the question is, it is known that Zhang Shuai and Xiao Qiu can now run within 45.40 seconds, so in the end will the performance level of the top three in the 400m of the Asian Championships rise, or will Zhang Shuai and Xiao Qiu make it into the top three together? 】
6l: [? The original poster asked a good question, but hasn’t it been said before that our domestic standards are not even up to the top levels in Asia? How come in the blink of an eye, we have to consider whether Zhang Shuai and Xiao Qiu can make it into the top three together? 】
10l: [to the 6th floor, what was said before was correct. Apart from anything else, last year, Zhang Shuai's personal PB was only 45.57 seconds. This is a PB, which means that Zhang Shuai cannot run this result under normal circumstances. At that time, Zhang Shuai only occasionally ran a result of 45.7 or 45.8 seconds. How could she have the ability to compete for the top three ranking within 45.40 seconds? 】
12l: [This past year, every time I think about it it feels like a dream. Who could have imagined this? Now we can all dream of having two 400m contestants take the top three places together. 】
16l: [Let’s bet on Zhang Shuai to be the runner-up and Xiao Qiu to be the third place. I don’t know if Xiao Qiu can qualify for the World Championships tonight. 】
20l: [Speaking of qualifications makes me angry. The track and field qualifications for the Tokyo Olympics are simply crazy. The qualifying line of 44.90 seconds is only a good thing that the Japanese can give it! I remember the 400-meter record for the yellow race is only 44.78 seconds, right? 】
In the topic forum of Track and Field Kingdom, there are many forums like this one, which start with discussing the 400-meter event and then gradually go off topic. People are chatting while watching the live broadcast on Weibo or in forums, and at the same time waiting for the arrival of the two 400-meter sprint finals.
When it reached 6 o'clock in the evening Doha time, Chen Yada and Lin Yao were the first to step onto the field.
In front of domestic TV sets, the audiences had already cheered when Chen Yadan and Lin Yao appeared on stage - both Chen Yadan and Lin Yao had accumulated a lot of fans in previous variety shows. This time, both of them made it to the finals, which also made the domestic audiences feel very happy.
In the women's 400m sprint final, apart from the two Chinese athletes Chen Yada and Lin Yao, the remaining athletes were from several countries including Bahrain, Kazakhstan, India, Japan and Qatar.
When the players came on stage, the atmosphere between them seemed a bit tense. Besides the tense atmosphere, there were also some curious and inquiring eyes in the arena.
In the commentary booth, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were also introducing the players on the field. After seeing the composition of the players on the field, Shao Minyi and Li Sen both had smiles with pride on their faces.
"In tonight's women's 400m sprint event, the eight women's 400m sprinters in the final are from six countries. Among them, only my country and the Kingdom of Bahrain have athletes qualified for the final!"
In the final, only two teams, Bahrain and China, had two players standing on the field. Looking back at the last Asian Championships and last year's Asian Games, there was not even a single Chinese female 400m sprinter in the final.
Although the Chinese team had already shown its ambition and sharp claws in the 400-meter sprint event at the Asian Six Nations Athletics Joint Competition on New Year's Day, many Asian countries still have not really realized that the Chinese team is different from the past.
Until the official venue of the Asian Athletics Championships.
On the field, Nashar from Bahrain is a dominant athlete in the women's 400m sprint in Asia. Not only in Asia, but also in the world, Nashar is also a top 400m sprinter.
Nashar's presence seems somewhat out of tune with the generally weak strength of women's 400-meter sprint in Asia.
Generally speaking, for Nashar, there is no player at the Asian level who can allow her to give her all her strength.
Originally, for Nashar, today's competition was just a game at the top level in Asia, but it was still nothing special. The only opponent she needed to pay attention to was Nirmila from India - a player who could run under 50 seconds. Sometimes Nashar also needed to take her seriously.
However, after the actual competition started, on today's field, Nashar suddenly realized that in today's game, the one who kept chasing her and giving her a sense of oppression seemed to be another player.
Is that a player from China?
When Nashar realized this, she was a little surprised, but she immediately thought of the New Year's Day trip to China to participate in the Asian Six Nations Athletics Joint Competition. The runner-up in the women's 400-meter sprint was also a player from China.
but……
Didn’t the Chinese player at that time give her such a strong sense of oppression?
On the track, the women's 400-meter sprint race was already halfway through. As it was about to enter the second bend, Nashar was gradually overtaking others. Her speed was still the fastest, and athletes from other countries could not catch up with her. However, the athlete from China, who was some distance behind her, was following closely behind her, with no sign of slacking off.
Among Asian players, Nashar had only felt this sense of urgency in Nirmila, but today, the appearance of Chen Yada made Nashar more vigilant.
On the track, Nirmila was in track 6 in today's race, while Nashar and Chen Yadan were in track 4 and track 3 respectively.
Nirmila, who was in the front, had been on guard against Nashar's pursuit. However, as the race entered the third 100-meter stage, Nirmila not only waited for Nashar, who gradually surpassed her, but also waited for the Chinese player who surpassed her in the final stage of the Six Nations Joint Competition.
When the race entered the last 100-meter stage, the field almost repeated the final scene of the women's 400-meter race in the Asian Six Nations Athletics Joint Competition, but with a slight difference from that time. In the last 100-meter stage, Chen Yada was originally in fourth place, and it was by relying on the final sprint that she reversed the situation from fourth place, and finally won second place with an amazing performance.
But today was different. The last 100 meters of the track became a contest between Nashar, Nirmila and Chen Yada. However, Aisha from Qatar was eliminated early today and was unable to fight. When entering the last 50 meters of the race, Nirmila, who was originally in a tug-of-war with Chen Yada, was successfully suppressed by Chen Yada. Even though she was still trying to speed up, the distance between her and Chen Yada could no longer be narrowed.
In this women's 400m sprint final, in the final stage, there seemed to be no suspense between the three people who crossed the line one after another. Nashar still crossed the line easily, and the distance between Chen Yada and Nirmila was also clearly visible.
However, after crossing the finish line, Nashar gradually slowed down her pace and turned her gaze to Chen Yada. She looked at Chen Yada seriously, as if she was memorizing her appearance in her heart.
In China, the audience in front of the TV did not notice this scene. When Chen Yada crossed the finish line, they were only concerned with excitement.
In the commentary booth, the voices of Shao Minyi and Li Sen also sounded very happy and joyful.
"Congratulations to Yadan for successfully adding another medal to the Chinese track and field team!"
"Yes." Li Sen said with a smile: "This medal is not easy to come by. The audience here may not know that Chen Yada is a veteran in the domestic women's 400m event. At the age of 27, she has no advantage among female sprinters. But Chen Yada did not give up easily. It is precisely because of her belief in the pursuit of victory that she was able to win her first Asian-level medal in today's competition!"
On the track, Chen Yada seemed a little out of breath after stopping. She also looked at Nassar in front of her with a bit of stubbornness.
She is a player at the top of the Asian throne. Her existence seems to be telling other Asian female sprinters that you are not qualified to lay your hands on the throne that belongs to her.
But, how can we really just not get involved?
In the last 100-meter stage of today's race, Chen Yada had already shaken off Nirmila, who had given her a hard time chasing a few months ago. But even so, even though she had performed very well throughout the entire race, in the final stage, Nashar in front of her was still able to firmly suppress her, leaving her no chance of overtaking.
This is a strong competitor in the women's 400-meter sprint event, and... she is also a young strong competitor.
Nashar is only 22 years old this year. For a female sprinter, she has just entered her golden age. However, Chen Yada is already 27 years old this year.
For female sprinters, at this age, they have already lost their advantages in age, physical fitness and condition.
Even though Chen Yada broke through her own limits, it was still not enough for her to surpass Nashar, the young and talented strong man.
Standing at the finish line of the track, Chen Yada calmed her breathing rhythm, said hello to several female 400-meter runners she knew, and then turned around to wait for the final results on the big screen in the stadium.
On the side, Nirmila from India gave her a thumbs up silently after seeing her movements, obviously praising her strength.
After seeing Nirmila's actions, Chen Yadan was stunned for a moment and nodded to her in a friendly manner.
She was originally in a depressed mood because she couldn't surpass Nashar, but after receiving Nirmila's praise, she felt a little relieved.
Ever since she successfully qualified for the World Championships, Chen Yada has had more desire for her career. She wants to participate in the World Championships, and even... after qualifying for the World Championships, she has been longing for the Olympic arena.
However, she is already 27 years old this year, and the Tokyo Olympics is still next year. Even if she can qualify for the Olympics, she is still worried about how long she can maintain her current state.
She has a strong personality. Ever since Su Bai started coaching the women's team, she has led the girls on the women's team and refused to lose to the boys' team at all.
Perhaps it was because she knew that the inner age of a female sprinter had gradually reached and begun to exceed the upper limit. Although she did not usually show it, and although she also received affirmation from Su Bai, she still felt layers of pressure in her heart.
She thought, if she was only 22 years old this year, then if she couldn't catch up with Nashar in the previous race, she would definitely not fall into a low ebb like she did just now. She would only be more confident, chasing after Nashar step by step, and then... surpass her.
In today's competition, Lin Yao, who also entered the finals, performed very well. She ranked fifth among many contestants. After crossing the finish line, she followed Chen Yada.
"Sister Dan, congratulations! You got the silver medal!"
Lin Yao's breathing was still heavy from the exercise she had just done, but when she said congratulations, her eyes were very clear, and they showed her anticipation for the medal and the result.
Lin Yao didn't notice that Chen Yada seemed to be a little worried when she approached. After congratulating Chen Yada, Lin Yao asked for advice seriously: "Sister Dan, my physical energy distribution is still not good. I ran too hard in the preliminaries yesterday, and I couldn't run the best today. Can you tell me more about your experience in physical energy distribution? I still don't have enough competition experience. Next time I must learn from my mistakes and run better!"
Seeing Lin Yao's appearance, somehow, the last bit of depression in Chen Yada's heart suddenly disappeared silently.
Lin Yao and Lin Huan in the team are both only 22 years old this year, the same age as Nashar. Under her leadership, the women's team has a spirit of not admitting defeat. The members of the women's team seem to have a natural passion for studying competitions and training.
Although the members of the female team were not a little "unfemale" under her guidance, they did not mind at all. Everyone trained, competed, summarized and reviewed seriously.
Lin Yao is summarizing her mistakes, but what about herself?
When Chen Yada thought of this, she regained her spirits. She shouldn't let her thoughts continue to focus on her age - although she was already 27 years old, their coach Su Bai hadn't said that she couldn't do it. Why should she let herself be troubled by this?
Thinking of this, Chen Yadan breathed a sigh of relief again. She turned to Lin Yao and said, "After we go back, everyone should review the results and give feedback to the coach about the questions we encountered during the review. We should train hard and strive to get better results next time!"
Hearing Chen Yada say this, Lin Yao also nodded vigorously.
During the conversation between the two, the results of the women's 400-meter sprint final were finally shown on the large screens on both sides of the stadium.
On the huge screen, the players' rankings and performance data were clearly displayed.
First place, Nashar (Bahrain), 49.97 seconds;
Second place, Chen Yadan (China), 51.51 seconds (pb);
Third place, Nirmala (India), 51.86 seconds;
Fourth place, Aisha (Bahrain), 52.24 seconds (sb);
Fifth place, Lin Yao (China), 52.37 (pb)…
While the two commentators of the sports channel were celebrating Chen Yada's first medal and Chen Yada and Lin Yao's new best, Chen Yada and other women's 400m runners had already left the field one after another under the guidance of the staff.
As the female team players left the field, the men's 400m final players finally took to the field.
When Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen appeared on the stage with their opponents, one of the real highlights of the night finally officially kicked off for Chinese track and field enthusiasts!
