How is that possible? !
When the contestants on the scene crossed the finish line one after another, they still did not react at first. The person who crossed the finish line first was actually a contestant from the Chinese team.
And when everyone realized that not only the first runner to cross the finish line was from China, but also the third runner was from China, they finally showed shock in their eyes.
That’s the Chinese team!
Anans held his head in shock. He looked around and saw that he was not the only player who was shocked by this.
Roger from Qatar also stood with his hands on his hips in astonishment. He calmed himself down a little, and then looked at Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen in front of him in astonishment.
In the audience seats, local spectators in Doha were waving flags during the competition. They tried their best to cheer for their country's athletes, but the final result was completely beyond their expectations.
A small number of Chinese audiences were also stunned after seeing the final result on the spot, but after the daze, the Chinese audiences scattered in various corners all fell into carnival as if they had just woken up from a dream.
"Zhang Ziyi!!!"
“Qiu Wen!!!”
“The Chinese team is awesome!!!”
I don't know which audience member it was, but after finally realizing the Chinese team's victory, he shouted at the top of his lungs so loud that the Chinese players in the faraway seats could hear his shout clearly. This shout was also heard clearly by the audience far away in China through the on-site radio equipment.
"This is an unprecedented victory, and it is also a victory beyond imagination!"
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, as early as when Zhang Ziyi was the first to cross the finish line, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were so excited that they could hardly control their voices.
If it weren't for their professional qualities as professional sports commentators supporting them, perhaps they would just want to say the word "awesome" right now!
"This is the first time that China's 400m sprint event has won the championship at the Asian Track and Field Championships!!
Looking back, the Chinese track and field team has taken many detours in the sprint events due to its late start and lack of experience. Compared with many sprint powerhouses in Asia, we have never introduced any naturalized athletes in the sprint event.
Even though it is difficult and the road is long, we always firmly believe that in such a big country like China, our players will not lose to anyone!
Finally, since the Chinese national track and field team participated in Asian-level track and field events, our athletes and our team have conquered the Asian arena step by step, starting with the men's 100-meter sprint!
Our male 100-meter sprinter Fang Yu has broken the 10-second barrier for the 100 meters that was once a shackle for the yellow race, and is now challenging breakthroughs in an even more extreme direction!
Our men's 200m sprinter Wu Yi has already reached Asia's top level in the men's 200m sprint event!
And today, at this moment, at this moment! The Chinese men's 400m sprinter, who was still unknown a year ago, shines at the Doha Stadium today! At the Asian Athletics Championships, the highest-level track and field event in Asia, our Chinese athletes Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen both won the gold and bronze medals in the men's 400-meter sprint! ”
Anyone could hear how excited Shao Minyi's voice was and how deeply the suppressed emotions in his heart were.
"At this moment, the Doha Stadium belongs to the Chinese track and field team, to Zhang Ziyi, and to Qiu Wen!!!"
Li Sen's voice was also full of emotion: "This is the pride of Chinese track and field. This is a stroke worthy of being written in bold and colorful words for Chinese track and field!"
At home, in front of the TV, the audience was initially just looking forward to tonight's game.
They knew that this was the first final for the Chinese track and field team in an important outdoor season event after the end of winter training, but these spectators also knew that the Asian Championships was not the real highlight of this year's track and field events. The real highlight should be the Doha World Championships at the end of September this year.
Everyone originally just wanted to see what kind of results the Chinese track and field team could achieve in this competition, and whether this result could reflect their progress during the winter training period - as long as the results were acceptable, the audience would be satisfied enough.
But……
Who would have thought?
Is this result acceptable?
That's simply amazing!
No one expected that Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen could run a brilliant record that will shine in the history of Chinese track and field - this is the first time that the Chinese track and field team has won the championship in the 400-meter sprint event at the Asian level, and it is also the first time that the Chinese track and field team has won two medals in the 400-meter sprint event at the Asian level... at the same time!
In the track and field kingdom, track and field fans have truly reached the climax of the carnival.
Theme: [First place in the preliminary group, first place in the semi-final group, first place in the final group! ! ! ! ! 】
Topic content: [Fuck! Aaaaaaah, nothing else to say, Zhang Shuai is awesome! ! ! 】
Under this topic post, there were a lot of crazy +1s. Among them were many die-hard fans of the 400-meter sprint event. While they were shouting, tears were already in their eyes.
400-meter dash…
Our Chinese team can also win the Asian championship in the 400-meter sprint! ! !
Among the players suppressed by Zhang Ziyi, Anans and Roger, both have the opportunity to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics! Don’t look at anything else, just look at their personal PBs and you will know.
In this case...
Can they also fantasize that... the Chinese team... their Zhang Shuai also has a hope of qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics? After all, he defeated Anans and Roger, two of the top Asian players tonight!
Oh, right, grades! What is the score?
Zhang Shuai's results... He can win the Asian-level championship. Does that mean that the national record that was just broken in the Asian Six Nations Athletics Joint Competition will have new changes?
This time the change...
Is there any hope that China will break the 400-meter national record?
At the Doha scene, domestic reporters who followed the Asian Championships for coverage had never expected that the track and field team would actually give them such a big move. At this time, their cameras were frantically aimed at Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen on the field. All the lenses followed them closely, and the shutter buttons were pressed non-stop as if they were free.
On the field, at the end of the 400-meter track, all the other contestants had already accepted the incredible reality before them, but Zhang Ziyi, who had already stopped, still had a dazed look on his face.
As the captain of the men's 400m sprint team of the national track and field team, Zhang Ziyi has always had a calm and stable heart. He has always believed that he can control his mental ups and downs well. So far, his most exciting moment was probably when he and his teammates won the silver medal in the 4*400m relay at the Asian Games.
That was the first time that he and his team broke the national record. He even remembered that everyone was so excited that they knelt on the track and kissed the track that accompanied them to win the victory.
After that, Zhang Ziyi has been able to control his emotions very well, and even when he broke the national record for the first time, he was able to appear calm.
He originally thought that he could do the same today, but at this moment, what he heard in his ears was the pounding of his heartbeat, his chaotic breathing that could not be calmed down, the excited shouts from the scattered Chinese audiences in the audience... and the enthusiastic blessings from his countless teammates in the Chinese player seats.
He won…?
He...won!
The world in his eyes had become a little blurry without knowing when. Zhang Ziyi knew that he should be happy and laugh, but he could only tilt his head back and cover his face with one hand, unable to control his tears from falling.
He could hardly control himself. He knelt on the track, straightened his body, and looked up at the sky above the stadium that was filled with blazing lights.
Maybe it was a few minutes, or maybe just a few seconds.
A red shadow directly covered his head. Zhang Ziyi stood up as if he suddenly realized something and grabbed the red shadow on his shoulder with one hand - it was the national flag.
When Zhang Ziyi turned around, he saw Qiu Wen grinning at him, with a national flag draped over his body.
It was not until he draped the national flag over his body that Zhang Ziyi suddenly felt the reality of it all.
He wore the national flag and started to walk around the stadium with Qiu Wen and the other person, accepting blessings from the audience in the stands around the stadium. Chinese spectators who had been sitting in various places in the stands rushed to the front of the guardrails. When Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen walked around in a circle, the cheers even made the surrounding audience excited.
"Zhang Shuai is awesome!!!"
"Xiao Qiu is awesome!!!"
In competitive sports, the worship of the strong knows no borders. Although Roger from Qatar only finished fourth in the division, the Qatari audience applauded and cheered after hearing the shouts from the Chinese audience. Some local audiences also imitated the accents of the Chinese audience and shouted in a friendly manner to Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen.
By the time the two reached the front of the Chinese contestant area, the contestants in the Chinese contestant area had already crowded in front of the guardrail, waving the national flag in their hands and cheering for Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen.
Jiang Wentao and the coaches who came with the team were also standing in their positions at this time, constantly clapping in the direction of Zhang Ziyi and the other person to encourage them. Everyone clapped very hard, as if they did not feel the pain at all.
Below the seats in the Chinese players' area, Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen bowed earnestly to their teammates.
When the two men stood up, the on-site broadcast suddenly sounded, and then everyone's attention immediately turned to the huge screens on both sides of the stadium - the results of the men's 400-meter sprint were finally going to be announced! ! !
Inside the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were nervously staring at the screen that was transmitting the results - what was the final result?
Bang, bang, bang, these are the nervous heartbeats and breathing of countless people.
Finally, the big screen on the scene lit up amid countless expectant gazes, showing the final scores of the eight finalists:
First place: Zhang Ziyi (China), 44.96, (pb) (nr);
Second place: Amestel (Kuwait), 45.10, (sb);
Third place: Qiu Wen (China), 45.27 seconds, (pb);
…
In the eyes of all Chinese audiences, there is no doubt that there are only the top three names. After seeing the top three names, no one will move their eyes down for a while.
"44.96 seconds!!!" Shao Minyi's voice was almost raised to a higher pitch than before: "44.96 seconds! This is the first time in the history of China's 400-meter sprint that a runner has broken the 45-second mark!"
"This is a brand new milestone for us and for Chinese athletics!"
"Please remember this day, 23:28 on April 16, 2019, B City time. This is the first time that the Chinese men's 400-meter sprint broke the 45-second mark. It is also the first time that Chinese athlete Zhang Ziyi won the championship of Asia's top track and field event!"
"We have reason to believe that in the coming days, Chinese track and field and the Chinese 400-meter sprint will continue to improve and create miracles one after another!"
"Let us congratulate Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen!"
Only here did Shao Minyi say with joy: "In tonight's competition, not only did Zhang Ziyi break the 45-second barrier for the first time, but it was also the first time that Qiu Wen broke the 45.30-second barrier! After this result was born, it also means that my country has two athletes in the men's 400-meter sprint event who have qualified for the Doha World Track and Field Championships in September this year!"
After a pause, Shao Minyi smiled and added: "Two athletes have simultaneously qualified for the men's 400m event at the World Track and Field Championships. This is also the first time in our country!"
At this point, both Shao Minyi and Li Sen had finally calmed down, but they were turning their attention to the next event. However, netizens on the Internet were still excited about tonight's men's 400-meter sprint.
In the audience, after seeing the results of the competition and the final outcome, Jiang Wentao let out a long sigh, a gratified smile on his face.
Beside him, tears kept welling up in Wang Ting's eyes until he finally calmed down. He seemed to have thought of something, turned around, and wanted to say something to Jiang Wentao and Pei Jinan, but Jiang Wentao seemed to know what he was going to say in advance.
Jiang Wentao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, no need to say more, Zhang Ziyi did a good job, Qiu Wen also did a good job, it's enough for us to know this."
In China, Wang Zhengsheng and others from the Track and Field Administration Center were of course the first to know the results of Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen - for such an important event, Wang Zhengsheng and others would not miss the opportunity to pay attention to the competition. They also watched Zhang Ziyi move forward step by step, cross the finish line, and win the victory.
Excitement, joy, and excitement, their emotions are no less than any other contestant or spectator.
The official Weibo accounts of the National Track and Field Team and the Athletics Administration Center both immediately released official Weibo announcements of the men's 400m final.
Official Weibo of the National Track and Field Team: [At 18:20 on April 16, 2019, Qatar time, the men’s 400m sprint final of the Doha Asian Track and Field Championships officially kicked off. In this men’s 400m final, my country’s 400m sprint stars Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen won the gold and bronze medals in the men’s 400m sprint respectively. Among them, Zhang Ziyi also broke the national record of 400m sprint created by himself with a time of 44.96 seconds! 】
The official Weibo account of the Athletics Administration Center: [In tonight's Asian Athletics Championships men's 400m sprint final, Chinese athletes Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen completed the event with amazing results. Among them, Zhang Ziyi's score of 44.96 seconds not only broke the 45-second mark for the first time, but also broke the national 400m record he set in January this year. Qiu Wen won the bronze medal with a score of 45.27 seconds, and also successfully won a ticket to the Doha Athletics World Championships in September this year! 】
On Weibo, the popularity of the hashtag #Doha Asian Championships# soared rapidly with the end of the game, and the topic #Zhang Ziyi 44.96# also quickly topped the list.
[qaq Ahhhh, I cried after watching this. Before the game started, I thought it was just an ordinary final. I was busy wondering if Zhang Shuai’s performance could improve this time. Who knew there would be such a surprise in the end? 】
[I was stunned to the end, Zhang Shuai and Xiao Qiu are both amazing, their results really exceeded my expectations. Oh wow wow wow, it's the first time I've followed a track and field athlete, the first time I've followed a competition seriously, the feedback was amazing! 】
[The new 400m national record made me cry... I remember the previous national record lasted for 15 years, but this time the national record didn’t even last 15 months! (Doge dog head saves life)]
[Hehehe, it's okay. Zhang Shuai has broken the 45-second mark. According to the current rhythm of the track and field team, there is always a feeling that Zhang Shuai is running in the front and Xiao Qiu and the others are chasing behind. You see, Xiao Qiu's result this time is 45.27 seconds, which is not far from the national record that had been set for 15 years. According to this rhythm, Xiao Qiu and the others may be able to break the 45-second mark in the near future? 】
New fans of track and field prefer to chat on Weibo, while old fans of track and field tend to gather in the forums of the track and field kingdom.
At this time, in the forum of the Track and Field Kingdom, people were also passionately discussing the results of tonight's 400-meter event.
Subject: [44.96 seconds! ! Brothers, the Tokyo Olympics is just around the corner! ! ! 】
Topic content: [When the track and field standards for the Tokyo Olympics were first released, I was completely depressed and thought that our domestic 400-meter event was probably hopeless. Who could have thought? The first major competition since the start of this season, it’s earth-shattering! ! ! Brothers, the 45-second mark has been broken, 44.90 seconds is not a dream! ! ! Before next year's Tokyo Olympics, Zhang Shuai successfully qualified for the 400m event at the Tokyo Olympics! ! ! 】
3l: [It really isn’t a dream… fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck, I really hadn’t thought about this before. After all, who can be as crazy as Japan? The standard is so high! To be honest, the moment I saw Zhang Shuai's results tonight, I jumped up from the sofa in my home, which scared my parents who were watching the game with me. It was really, really exciting! ! ! 】
10l: [I just came in to say that Zhang Shuai is really awesome! When I watched Zhang Shuai’s games two years ago, I thought she was a bit tepid. But starting last year, her style changed. She ran very aggressively. In tonight’s game, she was both aggressive and strategic…】
15l: [Zhang Shuai is awesome, Xiao Qiu is not bad either. At the beginning of the game, Xiao Qiu’s momentum scared me so much that I almost wanted to shout “Oh my God!” Xiao Qiu's style would be a nightmare for other players if it were put on track nine. Who the hell could have thought that the players in track nine would rush like that at the start? It's like he's risking his life. At the beginning, I thought that Xiao Qiu’s old problem of poor rhythm control had come back, but I was shocked when I saw the end. This kid’s endurance in the later stages seemed to have become even stronger. He rushed forward fiercely in the early stages and even faster in the later stages. Who the hell can withstand this? 】
18l: [(McKnight screenshot), Hahahaha, no, brothers, I must share this screenshot of Mike Knight with you. This old brother from the Kingdom of Bahrain has met Qiu Wen more than once or twice in competitions since last year. Every time he met Qiu Wen, he didn't end well. In today's competition, at the late stage, the expression on this brother's face was so aggrieved that it made me laugh. 】
20l:【? Damn, why are the screenshots on the 20th floor so funny? I've saved them. By the way, the new Japanese guy this time, named Shiraishi Tsururang, also looks very motivated. He ran no slower than Xiaoqiu at the beginning. 】
24l: [Bai Shi is still no match. He was obviously tired by the end. His speed and endurance are not good enough. Unless he makes up for these shortcomings in speed and endurance, it will be difficult for him to be a match for Xiao Qiu and Zhang Shuai. 】
32l: [I think Ameister from Kuwait is more formidable. He rushed forward in the last 50 meters and posed a threat to Zhang Shuai. The final result today was also very beautiful. To be honest, it was quite amazing. 】
…
In the forum, the discussion gradually spread from Zhang Ziyi's achievements to the possibility of Zhang Ziyi qualifying for the 400-meter sprint at the Tokyo Olympics, and then to the possibility of Qiu Wen qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics.
Not only that, the topics discussed by track and field fans are all over the place. When the topic seems to be going too far, someone suddenly replied in the post:
[I have to say, Coach Su Bai is still awesome...]
It was this sentence that made many people immediately change the topic again - isn't it? The domestic 400-meter sprint event before the second half of last year and the current 400-meter sprint event do not seem to be the same team or the same group of people.
The person who integrated China's 400-meter sprint event to its current level is Su Bai.
Speaking of Su Bai, after the popularity of her 400-meter sprint results finally subsided slightly, the women's 100-meter sprint final and the men's 100-meter sprint final of the Asian Championships officially kicked off.
In the women's 100m sprint, Xu Ling, who qualified for both the 100m and 200m sprint finals, performed well and won the silver medal with a time of 11.31 seconds.
Before everyone had time to be excited about Xu Ling's result, the men's 100-meter sprint competition began, and Fang Yu easily won the championship with a score of 9.98 seconds.
Behind Fang Yu, the famous sprinter from Japan tried his best to catch up with Fang Yu on the track, but his final result was only 10.06 seconds. The gap of 0.08 seconds between him and Fang Yu was like an insurmountable chasm for him.
From the silver medal in the women's 400-meter sprint, to the gold medal in the men's 400-meter sprint, and then to the gold and silver in the 100-meter sprint, no one expected that the Chinese team would be able to achieve such brilliant results in the sprint events tonight.
When this series of glories came to an end, even the commentator from Doha said with emotion: "Tonight, the crown of glory belongs to China!" 】
