Although there are many events on the schedule for October 3, there are no related events for the Chinese team.
It is now the seventh day of the World Championships. Most of the athletes of the Chinese Track and Field National Team have already finished their competitions. In the last three days of the schedule on the 4th, 5th and 6th, the key events that the Chinese team still needs to pay attention to are only the men's high jump final of No. 4 Wang Shen, and the men's 4x400m preliminaries and the expected finals on the 5th and 6th.
Without the pressure of competition, many athletes came to the scene to be stress-free spectators. Even Wang Shen, who will have the high jump final tomorrow, has also come to the scene, looking very relaxed.
Among the events on the 3rd, the final of the mixed 4x400m relay seemed to be the most emotionally complex for domestic audiences.
The public opinion that was originally noisy during the day today was caused by Su Bai's speech and Qiu Wen's confused question "Didn't we break the national record?", causing many viewers who originally thought they were quite righteous to lower their heads in shame.
Perhaps because of this reason, there were fewer people discussing related topics on the Internet tonight. It was not until the end of the men's and women's mixed 4x400m final and the final champion, runner-up and third place were announced that people on the Internet expressed their feelings.
Originally, the results of the powerful teams in yesterday's preliminaries were already amazing enough. It was not until today's finals that the audience once again realized the level of these world-class teams.
Tonight's mixed 4x400m champion has directly broken the 3:10 mark. The top 5 runners all had results within 3:12. Among the 8 teams, the last one had a time of 3:15.73.
In the audience, Jiang Wentao had a hint of envy and emotion in his eyes after watching the final results of the eight teams.
What I envy mainly is the talent of the athletes from these countries. Black athletes really have too much advantage in sprinting.
Listening to Jiang Wentao's sigh, the race walking coach beside him suddenly smiled and said, "It's okay, Director Jiang, you see, they are also quite envious of us in the long-distance race walking event."
puff.
As soon as these words were spoken, Qiu Wen, who was squatting at the back and craning his ears to listen to the gossip, laughed. Then Zhang Ziyi covered his mouth with his hand and he quickly put on a fake appearance of sitting upright.
Jiang Wentao turned around and glared at Qiu Wen unhappily, then he started laughing himself.
The old coach of the race walking team was right. Look at the women's 20km race walking, which swept the gold, silver and bronze medals. Which team from other countries would not be envious?
But of course there are some shortcomings: "Alas, old man, although we have an advantage in the race walking event, the performance of the men's team this time was not very good..."
When the race walking team's coach Weng heard this, he smiled good-naturedly, but he still defended his team members: "It's not bad, it's still good overall."
Jiang Wentao didn't really have the intention of criticizing anything. After hearing what Coach Weng said, he smiled and changed the subject to another direction.
On the way back from watching the game, Su Bai thought about it and posted another Weibo.
【Step by step, we are moving forward. 】
He did not make any additional promises, just a very calm narration. However, looking back on the public opinion storm over the past day or so, his words seemed like a perfect response.
The Chinese team's 400-meter sprint event is indeed moving forward step by step. They are down-to-earth, have their own goals and direction in mind, and do not need too much worry and doubt from the outside world.
The next day, October 4, was the eighth day of competition at the Doha World Championships. For Chinese audiences, the most concerned event in today's schedule was the men's high jump final in which Wang Shen would participate.
Two days ago, Wang Shen's performance in the men's high jump qualifying competition was quite outstanding. At that time, Wang Shen easily cleared a height of 2.29 meters and successfully advanced to the finals as the first in the group. His posture is still imprinted in the minds of many people.
In addition, after last year's Asian Games, Wang Shen changed his past slump in the finals of various major competitions. At this year's Asian Championships, Wang Shen even refreshed his PB to 2.35 meters, including a score of 2.33 in the Jamaica Track and Field Challenge, easily qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics.
It can be said that before Ye Wenhao can catch up with his results again, he has currently secured the throne of the number one high jumper in the country.
Faced with such a Wang Shen, the domestic track and field fans, whose hearts had been suppressed for two days due to the public opinion incident of the mixed men's and women's 4x400m, were ignited again today.
On the forum of Track and Field Kingdom, high jump enthusiasts began to cautiously discuss whether Wang Shen has the opportunity and strength to win a medal in tonight's high jump event.
Su Bai and others who were watching the game in Doha felt that the atmosphere at this time was completely different from that of the previous days. The reason was that tonight's men's high jump final not only included Wang Shen, who has attracted much attention from Chinese audiences, but also Abdallah, a talented high jumper from Qatar.
Although Abdullah lost to Wang Shen at the Asian Championships earlier this year, in a Diamond League this year, Abdullah jumped 2.36 meters, which is the best result in the world so far this year.
In the preliminaries the night before, Abdullah and Wang Shen were not in the same preliminaries group, and he also won the first place in the second preliminaries group with a 100% one-time pass rate in the preliminaries the night before.
For Abdullah, tonight's final is a great opportunity for him to win gold at the World Championships held in his country, and the audience here is also looking forward to it.
As for Abdullah, he of course deeply remembered Wang Shen, who defeated him in the same arena at the Asian Championships. If he could defeat this opponent who defeated him in the Asian Championships tonight, it would be the most perfect ending!
"In tonight's men's high jump final, Abdullah is undoubtedly the most dangerous opponent, but in addition to Abdullah, the famous high jumper Stratso from Belarus and two neutral athletes from Russia, Dunasev and Dmitrev, are all opponents that need to be paid close attention to tonight."
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen had just finished commentating the 400-meter hurdles final on the field. The live broadcast screen was interspersed to the preparation area of the men's high jump group. The two also took the opportunity to start introducing the men's high jump final that was about to begin.
Tonight's high jump final, as the final of the world's top track and field event, is most directly different from previous events that domestic audiences have watched in the difference in the initial height of the bar.
In the previous Asian Championships, the initial height of the crossbar was 2 meters. Later, when Wang Shen participated in the high jump competition at the IAAF Challenge Jamaica Station, the initial height of the crossbar was 2.05 meters.
It was different tonight. After looking at the preliminary results of the athletes in his hands, the referee raised his hand and set the initial height of the horizontal bar at 2.19 meters.
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, there were originally some sparse comments, but after seeing the initial height of 2.19 meters, several rows of uniform exclamation marks quickly flashed across the public screen which was previously somewhat empty.
[Oh my god, is he so fierce right when he shows up at 2.19 meters tall? 】
[It actually makes sense. These 12 contestants are all talented people with preliminary scores over 2.29 meters. If you ask them to start jumping from 2 meters, then either they will be wasting their energy, or they will have to apply for exemptions from the jumps one after another. There is really no need for that, right? 】
[…Although I know this principle is correct, but when I saw that he was 2.19 meters tall at the beginning, I felt a little weak in the knees. 】
In the barrage of the live broadcast room, the audience was still sighing at the height of the 2.19-meter horizontal bar. On the field, the men's high jump athlete had already stepped onto the bar and was preparing to jump.
The first person to appear on stage was Aguilagos from Cuba. The height of 2.19 meters in front of him obviously did not pose any obstacle for him. After signaling the referee to take off, he started quickly from the starting line, and after a perfect arc run-up, he easily stepped onto the springboard, successfully took off and easily crossed the 2.19 meter bar.
Perfect one-shot pass!
The audience gave Ajilagos warm applause without hesitation, which came purely from their firm self-confidence - after all, their player Abdallah is the current holder of the world's best results of the year, so how could he be afraid of the challenge of these players?
Starting with Ajilagos, the 12 finalists took off one after another, and all of them cleared the bar in one go at a height of 2.19 meters.
"This is the strength we should have in the men's high jump final of the World Championships." Shao Minyi said with emotion.
Any athlete in this arena has the ability to win gold in an ordinary competition. As long as they are in good shape and perform stably, the height of 2.19 meters will not cause any hindrance to them.
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, after seeing this result, some viewers were angrily saying: "Since 2.19 meters does not pose an obstacle to the athletes, why don't they choose not to jump?" Wouldn’t this save more energy? 】
This question seemed to make sense at first glance. As a result, the audience soon watched as the referee decisively raised the bar to 2.24 meters after reaching a height of 2.19 meters.
Oh no!
_(:3)∠)_
The audience who asked that question was instantly silenced.
What does the result of 2.24 meters mean?
At the Asian Championships, there were only five players left on the field after the height reached 2.23 meters. If it had been 2.24 meters, it is very likely that one or two of them could have been eliminated.
And in tonight's World Championships high jump final, the height of 2.24 meters was only the second jump on the field.
By comparing the two, the audience has a deeper understanding of the value of the World Championships men's high jump final.
After the horizontal bar rose to 2.24 meters, the athletes on the field were not worried, but they obviously became more cautious.
Aguilagos, who was the first to appear on the field, came to the field again. Before jumping this time, he took a deep breath to make himself calmer and more stable, and then took a step and started to sprint.
As he easily turned over in the buffer zone, Aguilagos waved in the direction of the audience - and was greeted with enthusiastic applause.
In the audience, Su Bai looked at the players on the field with a serious expression: "The players tonight are all very excited and relaxed." After a pause, he said: "Wang Shen is also in good shape, but now we have to see how stable these players are and their mentality in facing strong opponents."
Tonight's game is a tough one and it will not be easy.
At the height of 2.24 meters, 10 of the 12 contestants on the field still maintained a perfect one-time clearing of the bar. Among the other two contestants, one successfully cleared the bar on the second attempt. Only one contestant, perhaps because of excessive nervousness, failed in all three attempts and became the first contestant to be eliminated.
As the eliminated contestants appeared, some contestants in the preparation area frowned, obviously feeling pressured by the situation.
