Since the start of the track and field events of the Tokyo Olympics on July 30, although there have been occasional twists and turns, the Chinese track and field team has reaped a lot of rewards and good news in the past few days.
He broke many records and successfully won the first gold medal in track and field. He also made historic breakthroughs in the men's 100m and men's 400m sprint events.
And tonight's men's 400m semi-final was full of twists and turns in everyone's mind, making people's hearts fluctuate, and finally pushing it to a climax.
Just as Shao Minyi and Li Sen said, this is indeed an unprecedented miracle for China in the 400-meter sprint!
While everyone was rejoicing over the achievement and result, Qiu Wen on the field seemed to be a little exhausted. He stood up from the track with the help of Jipuruto.
As soon as he stood up, Qiu Wen turned his head with shining eyes and looked in the direction of the audience seats. After finding the direction where the Chinese national track and field team was, Qiu Wen excitedly dragged Jipuruto all the way to the front of the audience seats where the Chinese team was, and then waved towards the audience seats with excitement.
Coincidentally, a small group of Chinese audiences gathered behind in this direction. After seeing Qiu Wen, they also shouted excitedly, which set off a small wave of enthusiasm in this area of the audience.
Jiang Wentao, Pei Jinan and others had been moved and cried before, but now seeing Qiu Wen's silly look, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
You know, just now, that silly boy Qiu Wen broke the national record that Zhang Ziyi had just refreshed half an hour ago. It seemed that the title of the number one in the 400-meter sprint event was about to fall on this guy's head, but why did this unlucky child still look like an idiot?
Jiang Wentao and Pei Jinan looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes - Oh, it's clear that Qiu Wen will definitely take over Zhang Ziyi's job from now on. With the look of this silly boy, what should we do if he looks this silly when he goes out for interviews in the future?
Oh no!
After the Olympics, we have to catch this kid and give him some good training to make him more stable!
Qiu Wenke didn't expect that while he was greeting everyone in the team, Jiang Wentao and Pei Jinan were already planning to give him some special training and let him learn the etiquette of various interviews.
Anyway, after the excitement, although he was almost exhausted, he still put one hand on Jipuruto's shoulder and thought happily - after the Olympics, he will definitely be able to eat a table of delicious food!
Jipuruto had originally helped this Chinese 'rhythm destroyer' out of a spirit of friendship and mutual assistance, but he never expected that this Chinese rhythm destroyer would actually put his hand on his shoulder and wouldn't let go.
Jipuruto was a little shy off the court. He really didn't have the courage to push away the big devil Qiu.
So, while Qiu Wen was holding his shoulder, Jipuruto watched Qiu Wen excitedly greet the coaches of the Chinese team. After saying hello, he put his arm around Qiu Wen's shoulder and walked towards the backcourt...
That would have been fine, but as they walked, this big devil Qiu kept using his fake English to crazily output things like "xiaobai", "delicious", "happy" and other things that Jipuruto could hardly understand.
Jipuruto was already in a state of enlightenment at this moment.
He really wanted to ask this Chinese Qiu Wen - Mr. Qiu, do you know that I am third in this game, my performance is average, and I failed to advance, and I am not very happy now.
Jipuruto's heart is now: indifferent.jpg
That evening, Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen were awaiting a series of interviews from home and abroad. The staff of the national team was responsible for contacting and accepting the interviews. In order to ensure that Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen had enough rest, they only had a brief interview with domestic official media.
In China, in addition to the public account content of the flourishing sports self-media that praised Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen one by one from various angles and in various ways, the most widely circulated picture after this game was a picture taken and spliced together by a news photographer from the sports channel.
This picture is a news photo produced by the reporter through the double exposure effect. The background of the photo is Zhang Ziyi's back as he has finished the race and is about to enter the backfield channel. In the blurred back of Zhang Ziyi is Qiu Wen's posture of roaring to the sky after crossing the finish line in first place.
One picture, two people.
The former is just like the back he shows, with firm steps one by one. Over the past few years, he has carried the expectations of Chinese track and field fans for the 400-meter sprint and has become a silent and powerful pioneer of China's 400-meter sprint event.
As for the latter, he will eventually create more glory based on the former's footsteps and open a brighter era for China's 400-meter sprint event in track and field.
Before and after, new and old, this picture seems to be the silent alternation of the two generations of flag bearers of China's 400-meter sprint event in today's arena.
In the past, the big banner that had always been carried by Zhang Ziyi was finally taken over by Qiu Wen on this night.
This photograph was named "Inheritance" by the photographer. It was reposted by the Athletics Administration Center, the National Track and Field Team, the Sports Channel, and even the official Weibo account of the General Administration of Sport. From the time the photo was released, it spread to almost everyone's Weibo homepage along with the 400-meter hot search topic, which was still hot at that time.
The next morning's morning news even used this photo directly, and explained the significance of the "inheritance" between Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen.
However, these things have nothing to do with Qiu Wen or Zhang Ziyi for the time being.
After the men's 400m sprint semi-finals on August 2, the women's 400m sprint preliminaries and 110m hurdles preliminaries will begin on the 3rd. The key events on the 4th will be the women's 400m sprint semi-finals and 110m hurdles semi-finals.
On the 3rd and 4th, Qiu Wen could have a good rest. In the track and field team, Su Bai had already arranged a rest, physical recovery and nutritional supplement plan for him until the evening of the 5th, when the men's 400m final would begin.
The Olympic schedule is also designed for the 400-meter sprinters. After all, in such a peak competition, running a 400-meter race with all one's might will consume a lot of the athletes' physical strength and condition, and those who arrange the schedules are well aware of this.
In order to ensure a wonderful final and to avoid athletes suffering from poor results due to excessive physical exertion, the Olympic organizers will of course try their best to arrange and reserve sufficient rest time for the athletes in this individual event.
Of course, as for the preliminaries of the men's 4x400m sprint relay which will be held on the evening of August 6th...many national teams have dedicated relay runners, just like the US team and the Jamaican team, etc., and the connection between these individual events and relay events is close. Even though the Chinese team feels a headache, they can't say anything more.
In short, after the event ended on the evening of the 2nd, there was a lot of jubilation on the domestic Internet - or, in other words, during this period of track and field competitions, the audience could always see a variety of events that made everyone's heart beat fast and very happy. This undoubtedly increased the attention of track and field events in the country by several percentage points.
The General Administration of Sport of China has signed a data analysis contract with a company specializing in data analysis, asking the company to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the popularity of various events before and after the Tokyo Olympics.
It can be said that before the start of the track and field schedule on July 30, the overall data had a certain floating difference in each event, but the difference was not large. If we analyze it in more detailed items, it is also closely related to the live broadcast time of the event, the original domestic recognition of the event, the performance of the event in the Olympics, and so on.
After the track and field events began on July 30, the company's data analysts intuitively felt the second rise in the popularity of the Olympic topic.
Since their job is professional data analysis, they would of course have carried out pre-event data collection, analysis and discussion on each event involved in the Olympics.
Regarding athletics, they clearly saw that the public opinion on athletics has been on an almost straight-up upward trend over the past three years. Because there had already been such an increase in popularity and a basic base, they had originally wondered whether the popularity of the Olympics would reduce the impact on athletics.
result……
How can this be considered a reduction? !
The secondary rising trend curve of Olympic topic popularity and the explosive trend curve of track and field topic popularity are basically completely overlapping paths.
During the Olympic cycle, the national track and field team has basically been on the hot searches.
If it was a celebrity or something like that, and he was always on the hot search list, he would be scolded by netizens as a marketing expert, but this topic about the track and field team...
The data analysts of this company have noticed that most people are keen on talking about topics related to the track and field team. Not to mention anything else, in just a few days, the track and field team, including Lin Chunyu, Chen Yada, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Jiale, Qiu Wen, Wang Shen and other players, their personal search popularity has been comparable to that of small stars.
It’s not enough to just increase the popularity of the team members. The head coach of the national track and field team’s 400-meter sprint, Su Bai…after the “Ramen Brother’s” marketing account was slapped in the face that day, his search attention index can be said to have skyrocketed.
"Oh my, this is really true. Comparison kills. Those celebrities buy popularity and topics every day. I guess their follower growth data during this period is not as good as that of the athletes and coaches of the track and field team."
One of the data analysts was discussing this with his colleagues.
"It's normal. It's the Olympics, the quadrennial period when sports and athletes receive the most attention. But I think they deserve this attention. They train and compete so hard to win glory for the country. What's wrong with athletes like them getting more attention?"
While chatting, the two were still amazed by the relevant data of the track and field team.
They have compared the data from the previous two Olympic Games. Although the Internet was not as developed as it is now and some of the popularity data is difficult to judge, it can still be seen that the attention and discussion of this Olympics is undoubtedly the highest at present.
Among them, the national track and field team probably gained the most.
Track and field, a major sporting event that was once considered mediocre by everyone, has once again entered the hearts of many people with a brand new attitude.
August 3 is another new Olympic track and field competition day. In today's schedule, there are men's triple jump, women's javelin qualifying rounds and the first round of women's 400m sprint and men's 200m sprint in the morning. In the evening, there are a series of events including the 110m hurdles preliminaries, 200m semi-finals, women's hammer throw final and so on.
Compared with yesterday's schedule, today's schedule includes many important events for the Chinese team, including the women's hammer throw, a gold medal event. Its importance is self-evident.
However, for the sprint group, everyone is in a relatively relaxed mood today.
The 100-meter sprint competition has ended, and the men's 400-meter sprint final has not yet arrived. The only athletes who need attention in the sprint group today are Chen Yada in the 400-meter and Wu Yi in the 200-meter.
However, Chen Yada is also a veteran with a steady mentality, while Wu Yi is a talented player comparable to Fang Yu and Zhang Ziyi in the domestic 200-meter sprint event. To put it bluntly, whether it is Chen Yada or Wu Yi, in today's competition, it is basically certain that they will break out of the preliminaries and advance to the semifinals.
Therefore, the sprint group really has nothing to worry about today.
For Su Bai, who is in charge of both the sprint group and the hurdles group, tonight's 110-meter hurdles event is of course something he needs to pay attention to, especially since Cui Luoheng is there.
However, with Cui Luoheng's strength as a silver medalist in the World Championships, not to mention that he will definitely win gold and silver medals in the Olympics, Su Bai is still very confident at least in the preliminaries.
After several comparisons, the only thing that the track and field group needs to be nervous about today is probably Wu Yi's 200-meter semi-final in the evening. Overall, this is the most relaxed moment for the sprint group in recent days.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Su Bai and the members of the national team were sitting in the audience chatting, while waiting for the official start of the event later.
Among the black-haired, yellow-skinned Chinese team staff and players, there was a black-skinned player named Jipuruto...
Qiu Wen looked exhausted the night before, but he jumped up full of energy early this morning. After happily eating the nutritious meal that Su Bai prepared for them, he followed the national team's car to the scene to watch the excitement.
It turned out that he was not only there to watch the fun, he also found Gipputo who had been separated from his teammates, and then used his poor English to drag Gipputo to the Chinese team's spectator seat.
During this period, the conversations between Qiu Wen and Jipuruto were often incoherent, and the team's translator couldn't help but turn his head and hold back his laughter. He wanted to help translate for the two, but the conversations between the two were basically Qiu Wen speaking madly in his plastic English, and Jipuruto looked confused and couldn't understand. In the end, everyone was laughing at the sidelines. Seeing that Qiu Wen was obviously just talking too much, the translator didn't join in the fun and let Qiu Wen express himself freely.
Just as everyone on the track and field team had expected, in a series of competitions in the morning, the Chinese team's athletes performed quite well. In the men's triple jump and women's javelin qualifying rounds that took place first, the Chinese team's athletes were able to advance to the finals easily. Especially in the women's javelin competition, Lin Weiran, one of the big sisters of the track and field team's throwing group, won the qualification with the first place in the qualifying round.
Lin Weiran's result boosted the spirits of many people, and they began to look forward to the women's javelin final - perhaps the Chinese team will also have a chance to win gold in the women's javelin event?
While the men's triple jump and women's javelin qualifying rounds were underway, the women's 400m sprint preliminaries and the men's 200m sprint preliminaries were completed on the field one after another.
Among them, the preliminaries of the women's 400-meter sprint are divided into 8 groups in total, with 7 contestants in each group.
The qualifying criteria for the women's 400m sprint is slightly different from the previous men's 400m sprint. In the preliminaries, only the top two players from each group will advance directly, and then 8 more players will be selected from the remaining players to advance as substitutes.
At first glance, this way of advancement seems a bit dangerous for Chen Yada, but in fact, due to the high qualification standards for track and field competitions in this year's Tokyo Olympics, many of these athletes have obtained the qualification by accumulating points in the IAAF points race. To be honest, with Chen Yada's current strength, it is not difficult for her to get a qualifying spot among this group of athletes.
In fact, this was also the final result of the preliminary round. Chen Yada performed very steadily in today's preliminary round.
As a veteran who can definitely be called "old" in the arena, although Chen Yada failed to run at her career best, her result of 51.61 seconds was definitely a very outstanding performance. This result allowed her to win first place in the 7th group of the women's 400m sprint preliminaries and easily qualified for the semi-finals.
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen appeared to be in a relatively relaxed state while commenting on this morning's game.
"From the results of today's women's 400m sprint preliminaries, you can probably tell that the strength of the various preliminaries groups is a bit uneven. The seventh preliminaries group, where our Chinese athlete Chen Yadan is, is considered a medium-strength group. But it's also clear that today is just a preliminaries competition, and the athletes in each group, including Chen Yadan, only maintained their lead and didn't compete very intensely."
"Yes." Li Sen took over the conversation: "After all, for those players who can advance to the semi-finals, after advancing to the semi-finals, the final battle for a place in the finals is a game that they need to fight for with all their strength."
The two of them laughed as they chatted, and then Shao Min said, "Oh, I almost forgot. Today, I also want to congratulate Chen Yada for successfully advancing to the semi-finals of the women's 400-meter sprint event in the Olympics. Chen Yada's participation and advancement to the semi-finals is also the first time for the Chinese team so far!"
In the past few days, Shao Minyi and Li Sen have congratulated the Chinese team on so many firsts that today, they actually had a subtle feeling of "it's all light and calm".
I have to say, this feeling is really great?
The women's 400m sprint preliminaries were held before the men's 200m sprint preliminaries. After all eight groups of the women's 400m sprint preliminaries were completed and before the start of the men's 200m sprint, Shao Minyi and Li Sen also exchanged their expectations for the men's 200m sprint results.
"Among the current sprint events, the results of the 100-meter and 400-meter sprints are already obvious to all. However, some viewers may not know that the 200-meter sprint event actually has Wu Yi, a talented athlete who is in no way inferior to Fang Yu and Zhang Ziyi."
"That's right." Li Sen nodded and confirmed, "Wu Yi is very talented in the 200-meter sprint. The reason why Wu Yi's name has appeared less frequently in the past two years is that Wu Yi was accidentally injured during the season last year. He had to go to Germany for treatment and a series of subsequent rehabilitation."
"During this year's winter training, Wu Yi has fully recovered his normal training state. In some competitions this season, he has also rediscovered his competitive state and feeling. I hope he can seize this Olympic opportunity and play to his full potential in the next competitions!"
As the two were introducing themselves, the preliminaries of the men's 200-meter sprint officially kicked off.
In this competition, there were as many as 80 participants in the men's 200-meter sprint, divided into 10 preliminary groups. Wu Yi was in the third preliminary group.
Although there are many participants in the 200-meter sprint, the number of qualifying places from the first round of preliminaries to the semifinals has not changed.
The top two players in each of the 10 groups will advance directly, and unlike the women's 400-meter sprint, in the men's 200-meter sprint, only the top four remaining players will advance.
For the 80 men's 200m sprinters, it is much more difficult for them to advance to the semifinals than for the 100m and 400m runners.
However, this kind of difficulty does not belong to Wu Yi.
Just as Shao Minyi and Li Sen introduced, although Wu Yi's brilliance has been somewhat dimmed due to injuries in the past two years, he is indeed a talented player who can be compared with Fang Yu and Zhang Ziyi.
In the third group preliminaries of the men's 200m sprint, Wu Yi easily ran a time of 20.21 seconds, breaking his own national record and advancing to the semi-finals as the second in the group.
At this point, the Tokyo Olympic track and field schedule on the morning of August 3 can be said to have come to a perfect end.
