In this game, the Chinese relay team finally won the fifth place thanks to the full efforts of several relay team members!
Even the team originally planned to consist of Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen, Chen Yada and Lin Yao did not dare to say that they could achieve such a result in the Olympics. Tonight's ranking, even if they did not make the top four, is enough to make all Chinese people proud.
The atmosphere of joy and excitement spread among the Chinese audience at the scene and on the Internet. During the live broadcast of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen did not hesitate to use words such as "historic" to describe tonight's mixed men's and women's 4x400m sprint event.
Although the entire final lasted only a few minutes, the impact and aftertaste it brought were very long-lasting.
Not to mention the carnival on the domestic Internet that night, the four members of the mixed relay team received a warm welcome and congratulations from their teammates and leaders after returning to the audience seats in the Chinese athletes' area.
Lin Yao has calmed down a lot now. Although her eyes are still red and one can tell at a glance that she has just cried hard, her emotions have stabilized.
However, after seeing Su Bai's congratulations to them, Lin Yao suddenly said to Su Bai: "Coach, I want to try to increase my training volume."
Su Bai glanced at Lin Yao, whose eyes were red but determined, and said seriously, "The current training volume is close to full capacity for you. Adjusting the training structure will be very difficult for you, and the effect may not be very good. Are you sure you want to try?"
"I'm sure!"
Lin Yao almost couldn't wait to answer.
Looking at Lin Yao's appearance, Su Bai smiled and said, "Okay, I will discuss your training plan with Coach Zheng later. Remember, once you have made a choice, you must stick to it!"
Hearing Su Bai's reply, Lin Yao nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
Seeing Lin Yao take the initiative to make a request to Su Bai, Chen Yada on the side was also very pleased.
She is already 28 years old this year. Among female sprinters, her age is definitely considered a veteran. Although she also wants to continue training in the national team, she was able to break through herself this year and qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. She seems to be in very good shape.
However, there is a very cruel saying in the sports circle - you may still be the world number one this year, but at the same time next year, you may not even be able to participate in the domestic qualifying competitions.
As they get older, even if they are unwilling and unwilling to admit defeat, the deterioration of their body functions cannot be deceived. Although the world's top athletes can extend their competitive lifespan through various effective body care methods, Chen Yada knows that her retirement is not far away.
As many people in China are worried about, Su Bai has not trained enough outstanding athletes in the 400m women's team. Once she retires, Lin Huan and Lin Yao will not be able to take over the team. In the women's team, newcomers such as Yang Yi and Lu Xiaolu are still too young...
Whenever Chen Yada thought about the subsequent situation of the women's team after her retirement, she could never calm down.
Now seeing Lin Yao suddenly stand out, Chen Yada suddenly felt that the position of captain of the women's team might be inherited by someone gradually after observation.
That evening, domestic Internet viewers praised the members of the mixed 4x400m relay team over and over again, and then someone called on everyone to get some rest - [Everyone, there are several important competitions in track and field tomorrow. Get some rest today so that you can continue to pay attention to the competitions and cheer for the athletes tomorrow! ! ! 】
Just as this netizen said, there are many key track and field events on the second day, August 1st.
Since July 30, some people in the Athletics Kingdom have begun to review and predict the next day's schedule in advance every day. This was also the case tonight. After the men's and women's mixed relay race was completed, someone posted a corresponding discussion content in the forum's general discussion board.
Topic: [August 1 track and field schedule, and related event discussions and predictions. 】
Topic content: [(As shown in the picture) The schedule for August 1 announced by the national track and field team has just been posted. From the table we can see that the first schedule is the morning session. Big sister Liu Jiaonan will participate in the women's hammer throw qualifying round in the morning. Shortly thereafter, the first gold medal for the Chinese team in track and field events - women's shot put will begin.
As we all know, the US team is the gold medal winner, and Jamaica can also win a lot of gold medals. my country and the British team, which are currently in a stalemate on the medal and gold medal lists, are not much different in strength in track and field.
However, as of today, the Chinese team is under more pressure than the British team in track and field events. As everyone knows, the gold medal in the men's 10,000m final on the first day of the competition was won by a British athlete. If there are no accidents, the men's 5,000m race should also be in the pocket of the British team.
However, in these two days of competition, the Chinese team has not yet been able to win a gold medal, which is not a good start for the overall morale of the track and field team.
And tomorrow, the women's shot put gold medal opportunity is the one that the Chinese team has the greatest chance of winning. If they miss this opportunity, it will probably be a huge pressure on the subsequent gold medal missions of the track and field team.
After the women's shot put competition, there will be another event that everyone is concerned about tomorrow morning - the men's 400-meter sprint preliminaries. Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen from the Chinese track and field team will participate in the competition tomorrow morning to compete for a ticket to the semi-finals of the men's 400-meter sprint.
Of course, there are already a lot of analysis and discussion posts about Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen in the sprint section, so I will not analyze them here. According to the conclusions of most of the analysis posts, Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen will have no problem advancing to the semi-finals.
Then comes the evening schedule. Tomorrow night's schedule is China's second gold medal opportunity, the men's high jump. In addition, Yu Ge will also participate in the men's 100-meter sprint semifinals or even the finals tomorrow night.
In general, the full-day track and field schedule on August 1 can be said to be full of climaxes. I just don’t know whether the athletes of the track and field team can withstand the pressure and perform at their best as we expect.
In short, I hope the track and field team will have a smooth competition tomorrow - I wish the Chinese track and field team will win two gold medals in a row tomorrow! 】
In this discussion thread, in addition to the original poster, there are also shot put enthusiasts who analyzed the current situation of China's famous women's shot put athlete Lin Chunyu. Lin Chunyu was injured at the beginning of the year, and although she has recovered, her training has been affected to a certain extent. It is rumored that in the previous Olympic women's shot put qualifying competition, Lin Chunyu played with an injection. If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow's final will probably be the same.
If this is the case...I'm afraid the result of the game may not be what we want.
As for the men's high jump... Although China's men's high jump twin stars Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao have passed the qualifying round and entered tomorrow's final, Wang Shen seems to have not jumped 2.35 meters or above this season. His old rival, Qatar's star Abdullah, has jumped a good result of 2.36 meters this season, and Russian star Dunasev also jumped a terrifying 2.40 meters this year.
This result is the best in the world from last season to this season, and it also makes people clearly feel that Dunasev is in excellent personal condition this year.
Under such circumstances, it is really difficult for people to place their expectations for the men's high jump championship on Wang Shen.
Regarding these discussions, some people were optimistic, while others were worried. The replies to these discussions pushed the entire post to dozens of pages, making it one of the rare super-long posts in the Track and Field Kingdom forum.
Some people also forwarded the discussion information to Weibo, and then before the game on the second day, many people joined the corresponding discussion.
The next day, on the morning of August 1, the first half of the Olympic track and field schedule was scheduled between 9 a.m. and 12 noon Tokyo time. In fact, before 7 o'clock, the team leaders of the track and field events, such as Jiang Wentao and the head coach of each event, Su Bai, had already woken up and got up.
At about 7 o'clock, Jiang Wentao held a brief meeting with the head coaches of the projects that had competitions scheduled today. However, at this point in time, the meeting could not actually solve any problems. Everyone just told each other to pay attention to the players' pre-match emotions and that the coaches themselves should remain stable so that the players could feel safe after seeing it.
There is no point in saying more redundant content.
However, during the meeting, Jiang Wentao was concerned about Lin Chunyu's condition again - some of the rumors on the Internet were true, while others were not.
Lin Chunyu did get an injection, but not before the qualifying round. Rather, his old injury recurred during the qualifying round, and he had to get an injection to relieve the pain after leaving the game.
Today's final is the match where Lin Chunyu will really play in a closed position.
Lin Chunyu is injured, which is really bad news for the track and field team. After all, the team has held many meetings to discuss this before. The women's shot put, which is a gold medal event, is very important to the track and field team.
Apart from this gold medal opportunity, the only equally stable gold medal opportunity is the women's 20km race walking. However, the women's 20km race walking event is scheduled for August 6, which is too late and cannot achieve the goal of boosting the morale of the Chinese team.
However, no one wants a player's old injury to recur...
When Jiang Wentao mentioned this matter to the coaches, they could only look at each other for a while, then smiled bitterly and sighed.
Because of Lin Chunyu's situation, Jiang Wentao and others looked worried and had no time to think about other projects for the time being. At most, after seeing Su Bai, they asked him - Are Ziyi and Qiu Wen in good condition today?
Su Bai didn't say much, just nodded, indicating that there was no problem between Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen.
No matter how worried you are, the morning game is about to begin.
The first event to start was the women's hammer throw qualifying round. There was no doubt about this qualifying round for Liu Jiaonan, and there was no suspense about her advancing to the finals.
After the women's hammer throw qualifying competition, the women's shot put competition will follow.
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen had already obtained relevant information about some of the players before commenting on the game. It was during their commentary that the domestic audience learned for sure that Lin Chunyu's old injury had indeed recurred and he was currently competing with the injury.
For a moment, the audience on the Internet were all worried.
[Ahhh, qaq why did my old injury relapse...! 】
[Help! My old injury recurred at this critical moment of the Olympics...]
[There is nothing else I can do right now. I can only pray that Chun Yu can perform well today and that his injury does not get worse...]
In the following women's shot put event, every time Lin Chunyu tried to throw the ball, the audience in front of the TV were terrified. People hoped that Lin Chunyu could perform well, but they were also worried that every time she tried to throw the ball, her old injury, which had already recurred, would become worse.
"...It can be said that every trial throw that Chunyu made on the field just now was really tugging at my heart..." Li Sen looked at Lin Chunyu who had completed the trial throw on the field and let out a long sigh.
It should be said that Lin Chunyu is worthy of being a world-class female shot put athlete. Even though she was participating in the competition with an injury, every throw she made in today's competition was remarkable, and she performed at the top level of her career. In the third round of throws, Lin Chunyu almost tied her own PB with one throw.
In the end, Lin Chunyu won the silver medal in the Olympic women's shot put final with a score of 19.53 meters.
Lin Chunyu was very strong, but the recurrence of her old injury eventually affected her personal condition. Although she fought until the last round, she was still one step behind and lost bitterly.
In the audience, after seeing this result, the coaches of the Chinese track and field team couldn't help feeling a little disappointed even though they had expected it.
On the court, after seeing himself defeated, Lin Chunyu closed his eyes for a long time to calm himself down.
Chinese audiences online and at the scene were heartbroken after seeing the result, but the heartache could not change the reality - the cruelty of sports competition lies in the fact that no matter whether you are injured or not, in the end, success or failure will determine who is a hero.
Lin Chunyu is very strong, but she still lacks a little bit of luck in today's Olympic Games.
After the women's shot put final, the audience on the Internet fell into a brief silence - the Chinese track and field team's first gold medal opportunity had passed, but the Chinese track and field team failed to win the first gold medal as they wished.
Do we really have to start looking forward to the men’s high jump final this afternoon?
But... Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao...
In the audience, Li Mingzhuo, the head coach of the high jump project, did not look very happy at this time. With Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao's strength, they had hope of winning medals, but winning an Olympic gold medal...
All of a sudden, viewers on the Internet began to worry about the Chinese track and field team's road to gold. However, most people ignored the fact that after the women's shot put final, the preliminaries of the men's 400-meter sprint began.
In today's game, Qiu Wen is in the first preliminaries group, and Zhang Ziyi is in the seventh preliminaries group. The two's schedules are at the beginning and end, and the time in between can be said to be very long.
Compared with the events the two had participated in before, the number of participants in the Olympic Games can be said to be very large, with a total of 56 men's 400-meter sprint participants. The preliminaries were divided into 7 groups. The top 3 in each group advanced directly, and among the remaining players, the top three were selected to advance.
Although the direct qualifying standard for the men's 400m sprint at the Tokyo Olympics is a terrifying time of 44.90 seconds, in fact, not every competitor can achieve this result.
If the number of people who meet the requirements is insufficient, the athletes will be ranked according to their IAAF points and the corresponding athletes will be selected to enter the Olympics.
But no matter what, overall, the world's top men's 400-meter sprinters are all included here, competing for the qualification to advance to the semi-finals.
When the first group of athletes in the men's 400-meter sprint preliminaries took the stage, many viewers on the Internet were still lamenting Lin Chunyu's previous defeat, and felt that if Lin Chunyu had not been injured, then today's women's shot put Olympic gold medal would definitely be in her hands.
It’s a pity that no matter how much they discuss, they cannot rewrite this history.
It was not until people started discussing whether Lin Chunyu had a chance to participate in the next Olympics that someone started shouting on the Internet:
[#Tokyo Olympics# Dear friends, the Erha competition is about to begin, is no one paying attention? 】
? !
Is Erha’s competition about to begin? !
After hearing this, the audience remembered - oh, yes, this morning's track and field schedule hasn't ended yet! The morning competition also includes the men’s 400m sprint preliminaries between Erha and Zhang Shuai!
Even though it's just the preliminary round, I still have to go and support it!
Thinking of this, everyone quickly shifted their attention from the discussion pages in their hands to the live broadcast of the game on TV, computer, or mobile phone.
Shao Minyi and Li Sen have already introduced Qiu Wen's track and group members. The players in Qiu Wen's group are not too strong, but not weak either. It's just that the first group of players to appear always have a feeling of being a 'warm-up group', which makes people worry that this group of players will not perform well.
In the audience, Jiang Wentao looked at Qiu Wen on the track with a worried look on his face: "How come I was drawn into the first group? Are our contestants' luck a little bad today?"
Su Bai smiled when he heard this and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. I think Qiu Wen has good luck today."
Qiu Wen's path?
Jiang Wentao glanced at the lane where Qiu Wen was - wow! The ninth one!
this……
The ninth lane, which many contestants try to avoid, has become a label of "good luck" for Qiu Wen!
Jiang Wentao smiled bitterly, but then he remembered Qiu Wen's unbridled running style. He paused and said, "Didn't you say before that the rhythm problem has improved a lot?"
Su Bai heard this and smiled again: "It has improved a lot, but when he was at the ninth level... he was a bit reluctant."
Jiang Wentao laughed again when he heard this: "This is the Olympics! Are you sure it's okay?"
Su Bai smiled and nodded: "No problem."
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen probably felt that Lin Chunyu's previous topic was rather heavy and sad, so after seeing Qiu Wen was placed in the ninth lane, they started to talk about Erha again to lighten the atmosphere.
"I think many viewers should know that Qiu Wen, a player, often becomes a crazy 'rhythm destroyer' whenever he is in lane nine... But today's competition is an Olympic competition. Can Qiu Wen, the 'rhythm destroyer', successfully demonstrate his skills again?"
Li Sen smiled and said, "Oh, speaking of this, I am also looking forward to it!"
As Shao Minyi and Li Sen were discussing, the first group of the men's 400-meter sprint officially began.
Not many of my players in this group have had experience of direct confrontation with Qiu Wen. Although they probably remember that there is a player on the Chinese team who is labeled as the "Rhythm Destroyer", most people still think that this is just empty talk.
After all, there is such a big difference in the starting point of the 400-meter sprint, and that athlete was only in the ninth lane. How could there really be an athlete in the ninth lane who could cause the rhythm of most of the athletes on the track to be disrupted?
Therefore, most of the contestants present did not pay much attention to Qiu Wen, but only focused on their own conditions and prepared to fight well.
On the ninth track, Qiu Wen was extremely relaxed and excited - hehe, this was the Olympic arena. When he qualified for the Olympics, his grandfather praised him for a long time. If he could get a good result in the competition again!
Oh, just thinking about it makes me happy.
In order to achieve this goal, he must of course fight hard!
With this thought in mind, after the starting gun sounded, Qiu Wen once again ran out like a happy Husky - looking from a distance, one would have the illusion that this Husky had been locked up for two whole months and not allowed to go out for a walk.
At this pace, Qiu Wen ran very happily. He didn't feel anything was wrong. But behind Qiu Wen, first came the runner on track 8 who was closest to him, then the runner on track 7, and then the runner on track 6...
As long as they looked forward, they could see the Husky in front of them running freely and happily forward. Looking at his running speed, everyone began to wonder if their pace was too slow... and began to doubt themselves.
That Chinese athlete looks like he's running effortlessly, but he hasn't actually run very hard, right?
It's so fast without running hard?
Could it be that they underestimated their opponents in the preliminaries and did not give their best?
Oh no, will this affect the outcome of the game?
This won’t work!
There are only 3 direct promotion spots! I have to run faster!
After this set of thoughts, the rhythm of all the players changed. In the entire first group of the preliminaries, the rhythm between the players began to become somewhat terrible. If it weren't for the fact that these players' own physical fitness and endurance were top-notch, perhaps their performance on the field would have been even worse.
Shao Minyi and Li Sen looked at the result and looked at each other. If it weren't for their professional qualities supporting them, they almost laughed out loud in the live broadcast room.
"Oh, this Qiu Wen..." Jiang Wentao looked at the situation on the track, and then watched Qiu Wen finally advance to the semi-finals with the second place in the group, his face full of laughter and tears.
After watching Qiu Wen's performance, Chinese audiences at the scene and online couldn't help laughing.
Afterwards, in the seventh group of the preliminaries, Zhang Ziyi also won the first place in the group and advanced smoothly. The successful advancement of the two men's 400-meter sprinters, especially Qiu Wen's performance, finally diluted some of the melancholy of everyone about Lin Chunyu's defeat.
