While countless track and field fans on the Internet were still in confusion over Chen Yada's retirement, the men's 200-meter sprint final kicked off at the Tokyo Olympic Stadium.
Wu Yi, the guy who advanced to the finals as the first in the group semi-finals with a time of 20.03 in the last semi-final, as the only yellow-skinned player among the eight finalists in today's competition, attracted countless attention.
Many people inside and outside the stadium are wondering whether this Chinese athlete can still display his amazing speed in today's final. Can he break the 20-second mark and become the first yellow man to break the 20-second mark in the Tokyo Olympics?
At this moment, countless people were looking forward to Wu Yi's performance.
On the track, Wu Yi squatted at the starting position of the curve, waiting for the start signal. After the bang of the gun, even though there were thunderous cheers from the audience seats around him, Wu Yi's concentration made him completely ignore everything around him.
The game begins!
After being injured in the 2019 season, Wu Yi originally thought that he might miss the Tokyo Olympics, an Olympic event when he is at the peak of his career.
But after returning from treatment at a specialized hospital in Germany, the national team directly invited the best sports recovery experts from Germany to work with the national team coach to develop a special rehabilitation and restorative training program for him.
He has been silent for more than a year. During this time, he has been silently rehabilitating and training, while also observing the changes in the national team over the past few years.
The sprint event, an event that was once highly valued in the national track and field team but rarely produced good results, has undergone tremendous changes in the past two or three years.
Not only the sprint events, but the entire track and field events have received much more attention and spotlight than ever before.
Turning his attention back to the sprint event, Wu Yi could see that his good friend Fang Yu had once again achieved a breakthrough in the past two years, completely getting rid of the boredom of breaking the ten-second barrier for the first time but then being unable to break the barrier again.
He also saw the 400-meter sprint event, rising slowly like the morning sun.
The 100-meter sprint and the 400-meter sprint have become increasingly popular, and the 200-meter sprint certainly cannot lag behind!
After undergoing rehabilitation and starting restorative training, Wu Yi learned that Su Bai was also one of the coaches in his rehabilitation team. In addition to his busy head coaching work, Su Bai still made several key suggestions and plans for his restorative training and winter training overall plan in his rehabilitation team.
Just the suggestions proposed by Su Bai provided him with great help and breakthrough in his recovery training after his body recovered.
Since he is lucky enough to have successfully caught up with this perhaps once-in-a-lifetime Olympic event, Wu Yi hopes that he can also leave a dazzling moment in this Olympic event like Fang Yu, Zhang Ziyi and others.
In this game, Wu Yi's start and burst phases were not very smooth. Although his start and burst were connected very smoothly, his explosive power was not strong enough. At the starting stage, he was not as competitive as those players with better start, burst and acceleration abilities.
In this 200-meter sprint final, there were many athletes who were good at explosive acceleration at the start. For example, the two athletes from the United States and Ecuador ran at an astonishing speed at the start.
These two athletes have the ability to break 10 seconds in 100 meters and 20 seconds in 200 meters. Compared with these two, Wu Yi's 100-meter result is much worse. His strongest part is the final sprint acceleration in the second half of the 200-meter dash. He is a typical second-half sprinter. His sprint speed in the last 50 meters or so of the 200 meters is enough to compete with top athletes who can break 19.85 seconds in 200 meters.
In the audience, although Pei Jinan and others are always aware of Wu Yi's technical characteristics, in the last semi-final, Wu Yi led and suppressed all opponents from beginning to end, and finally advanced to the finals as the first in the semi-final group...
At the beginning of this round of competition, Wu Yi's speed was obviously behind that of other players. This discovery made Pei Jinan and others feel anxious.
It can only be said that being too concerned leads to confusion. In such a tense environment as the finals, Pei Jinan completely forgot that the players Wu Yi would meet in the semi-finals and finals would not be the same - and in the semi-finals and finals, the players would also perform differently to the extent to which they could.
"Wu Yi!! Come on!!!"
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Li Sen was cheering loudly for Wu Yi. At this time, the race was already halfway through. Wu Yi, who seemed to be lagging behind, after cutting into the straight road from the curve, it was as if an energy switch was turned on. His speed was increasing almost at a visible rate!
"Wu Yi! Wu Yi is overtaking!!!"
Starting from the second 100-meter stage, Wu Yi's technical characteristics of exerting force in the late stage broke out. Until the last 50-meter stage, Wu Yi's final sprint burst speed almost violated the physiological laws of the 200-meter anaerobic exercise. Under the condition of extreme lack of muscle oxygen, his explosive power and speed endurance were so strong that it was still unbelievable.
In the final 100-meter stage, all the viewers in front of the TV held their breath and watched Wu Yi start from sixth place at the end of the curve, and then fight his way back to fifth place, fourth place... and even in the final 20-meter sprint, it was clear that Wu Yi still wanted to sprint to a higher position...!
"20 meters!!! Wu Yi still has a chance!!!"
Li Sen loudly supported Wu Yi in front of him, but soon after he finished speaking, the Ecuadorian athlete who was originally in third place had already crossed the finish line.
Wu Yi crossed the finish line closely behind him, but unfortunately he failed to win a medal in the 200-meter sprint event. However, his performance in this game was already exciting enough.
In the end, Wu Yi won the fourth place in the 200-meter sprint. In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen both lamented that Wu Yi was a little regretful this time, but the fourth place in the Olympics was already an unprecedented glory.
The audience in front of the TV originally thought so, until Wu Yi’s result was finally announced - 19.96 seconds? !
"19.96 seconds?!" Shao Minyi was stunned for a moment after seeing the number, and then quickly saw two capital English letters (ar) following the number.
Asian record? !
Wu Yi broke the Asian record? !
When they saw the results for the first second, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were both amazed that Wu Yi broke the 20-second barrier in the 200 meters. But after breaking the 20-second barrier, the word "ar" was what made people even more amazed.
"Congratulations to Wu Yi!" Li Sen said excitedly, "Congratulations to Wu Yi, with a time of 19.96, he broke the Asian record of 19.97 set by the Qatari star in the 2015 Diamond League Doha!"
"Congratulations to Wu Yi and the Chinese team. Now, the Asian records in the 100m and 200m sprint events have been won by the Chinese team. These records are now written with the names of Asians!"
At the end of the competition on August 4, track and field events once again dominated the hot topics on major search engines, major social platforms and Weibo hot searches in China, so much so that someone smiled and said on Weibo: "It feels like the atmosphere of the World Track and Field Championships is now." 】
#Chen Yadan retires#
#Chen Yadan will become assistant coach of the national track and field team for the 400m event#
#200m Wu Yi ranked fourth in the Olympics#
#200m Wu Yi breaks the 20-second mark#
#200m Wu Yi breaks Asian record#
#China wins Asian records in 100m and 200m sprint#
…
This string of hot search words and hot topics is indeed so numerous that it makes people jealous. Even many marketing companies in the entertainment industry have never seen such a scene before. If a celebrity dares to keep posting n high-ranking hot search topics every day, even the top traffic will be ridiculed and trampled to the core of the earth by black accounts.
However, there are also many people who are clear about these hot topics. There are two reasons for this: one is that it is the Olympic cycle now, and the attention to related topics is indeed high. After all, it happens once every four years, and it is the time when ordinary people all over the world pay the most attention to sports events. Another reason is that the results of track and field events are indeed eye-catching, and they always attract people's attention.
As track and field topics have become increasingly popular during this period, countless people have been doing related analyses, including the first season of the show "Track and Field Idol Training Camp", which also sparked a new wave of attention during the Olympic cycle.
However, no matter how much analysis is done, the final conclusion reached by professionals is that the skyrocketing popularity of track and field events is a process that cannot be replicated or reproduced.
No one in the track and field team paid attention to the news on the Internet. Only Su Bai, after returning to his residence in the Olympic Village at night, took another look at the discussion topics related to Chen Yada on the Internet. He saw that the topic had changed from not wanting Chen Yada to retire to wishing Chen Yada a bright future and wishing China's women's 400m sprint performance to get better and better.
After seeing such public feedback, Su Bai also smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Zhang Ziyi also forwarded Chen Yada’s speech shortly after Chen Yada’s speech. Not only did he send a love emoticon when forwarding it, he also said, "You are the best!" 】.
_(:3)∠)_
Su Bai watched Zhang Ziyi's speech and found it quite interesting.
This Zhang Ziyi, ever since he started chasing Chen Yada, sometimes looks a lot more childish. He can't wait to show off his wife anytime and anywhere to let others see - my wife is the best!
Sure enough, after Zhang Ziyi’s Weibo post was forwarded and opened, it looked like a group of people were eating dog food.
【_(:3)∠】_Woof woof woof, Zhang Shuai, I smell a sour odor that a single dog shouldn’t smell. 】
[Damn it, Sister Dan is so great, why did she get tricked by Zhang Shuai? 】
【? Wait, friends in front, Zhang Shuai is also awesome. Isn’t it great to be the captain of the men’s and women’s teams? How did you get it by cheating? 】
Not only were there these people barking and stuffing dog food into their mouths, but Chen Yada actually replied to Zhang Ziyi under this Weibo post.
Chen Yada: [^^Well, thank you, you are great too. 】
It was clearly just a small emoticon and a seven-word reply, but it struck a chord with a group of track and field fans as well as those who came to watch the show.
Many people cried out "Ah" and fell down, covering their chests and crying.
[Friends, it suddenly occurred to me that Zhang Shuai is one year younger than Sister Dan. Hey, isn’t this the legendary younger wolfdog? 】
[Ahhh, wait, the CP of the male and female team captains is already very cool, but coupled with Danjie’s reply and the younger-than-she-she-is setting… Woohoo, this CP is about to become even more attractive! 】
[Hey, Sister Dan is going to be the assistant coach of the women's 400-meter sprint team soon. Does that mean it's a sweet love story between the coach and the athlete now? =w=! Hehehe, it seems to smell even better this way? 】
No one expected that Zhang Ziyi just retweeted Chen Yada's Weibo so easily, and Chen Yada just gave a simple reply. As a result, these two inexplicably became a hot search, and the keyword of the hot search was "the sweetest CP in the track and field team."
?
? ? ?
Qiu Wen, a professional surfing kid, had a competition the next night, but he still insisted on checking his phone before going to bed, and then saw the hot search for [The sweetest couple in the national track and field team].
He angrily forwarded this trending search to the small group of the dinner trio that also included Wang Shen and Cui Luoheng, and then angrily accused Comrade Zhang Ziyi of "sneaking away".
Qiu Wen: [Lao Zhang, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, betrayed the revolution and the organization just like that! 】
After he sent this message, he originally thought that he would be able to get immediate support from Wang Shen and Cui Luoheng, who were also single men. However, after a long while, there was no movement in the group, so he soon started talking to himself in the group.
Qiu Wen: [? ? ? =. =Are you all asleep? So early? 】
Qiu Wen: [Oh, Ah Heng will be in the final tomorrow morning, no wonder...]
As a result, when he was about to put down his phone and go to sleep after chattering for a few sentences, there was suddenly movement in the group.
Cui Luoheng: [……]
Wang Shen: [^^]
?
? ? ?
Looking at the two friends who suddenly appeared in the group and taking a look at what they said, Qiu Wen was completely confused.
To be honest, these two friends, Lao Wang and Ah Heng, were brought up by Xiaobai together with Qiu Wen from the S Province Track and Field Team. They are good brothers, no doubt about it!
However, sometimes the replies from these two good brothers in the group always make Qiu Wen confused, just like now...
What's up with that ellipsis, Ah Heng?
What's going on with Lao Wang's mysterious smile?
Qiu Wen stared at the phone for a long time, then replied angrily: [You two! Are you having an affair behind my back? Why do I feel like there is something you know but I don’t? ! 】
_(:3)∠)_
Wang Shen, who was looking at his phone in the dormitory, couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw this.
It should be said that Qiu Wen, this silly boy, does have the natural instincts of a wild beast, but this wild instinct is always often used in the wrong direction.
Wang Shen glanced at the ellipsis of Cui Luoheng in the group chat history. Just by looking at the ellipsis, he understood Cui Luoheng's brain waves. Obviously, after seeing what Qiu Wen shared, Ah Heng must have looked at the relevant topics with inappropriate expectations, and then saw that the CP in the topic was Chen Yada and Zhang Ziyi, and saw keywords such as "younger man" and "little wolf dog", so he became jealous.
Well, of course, the jealousy is not directed at either Chen Yada or Zhang Ziyi, but at the fact that these two have both gotten married and even became a hot topic such as "the sweetest couple in the national track and field team", while he and Su Bai are still not even close.
Hmm.
Wang Shen thought about it for a while and felt that it was not right to say that the character "八字" had no stroke - it should be that the stroke of "小狼狗" had been prepared long ago, and as for the other stroke...
Thinking of this, Wang Shen opened Cui Luoheng's Weibo with interest and took a look.
Sure enough, the content of this guy's Weibo is very unremarkable. Most of them are some task-related Weibo posts about the national team, such as promoting new products from the brand Daddy that sponsors the national team, promoting some related news about the track and field team, etc.
Among them, there are also some forwarded content - all of them are forwarded from Su Bai's Weibo. As long as Su Bai said something, Cui Luoheng would forward it here.
And Ah Heng is not good at speaking. After forwarding the message, he doesn't really know what to say. He often just says "you're right" or "yes" without even an expression. The forwarded content is so dry that it's unbearable to read.
Compared to Zhang Ziyi's reply of 'You are the best' after he reposted Chen Yadan's Weibo today, it is obviously the same thing with just two sentences, but the sweetness is so different.
In fact, Su Bai would occasionally reply to Cui Luoheng's reposts, but the content of Cui Luoheng's reposts was so dry, so Su Bai usually just replied with a smiling emoticon or something like that.
After taking a quick look at Cui Luoheng's Weibo, Wang Shen almost laughed to death. He bet that Cui Luoheng must have also been confused in his Weibo post as to why the interaction between Zhang Ziyi and Chen Yada was described as "sweet" and "sugar-sprinkling", and that the comments below his and Su Bai's reposts were all from track and field fans thanking Su Bai for his cultivation of Cui Luoheng and praising their master-disciple relationship.
Occasionally, there would be one or two people who either praised the relationship between master and disciple, or jumped out to laugh at Cui Luoheng - [Comrade Cui, why does your forwarding look like a task completed? 】
Thinking of this, Wang Shen replied in the group with a smile: [^^Ah, it’s nothing, Erha, don’t worry, how could I have an affair with Ah Heng? After all, no matter how you look at the two of you, you are the cuter. 】
Qiu Wen: [………=皿=Don’t call me Erha! 】
In the small group, a few people laughed and joked for a while, then said good night. After all, Cui Luoheng and Qiu Wen both had finals to play tomorrow, and they couldn't waste their rest time playing with their phones at night.
You know, sleep is always the best way for athletes to recover.
The next morning, Su Bai prepared breakfast for some of the team members as usual. After the mouth-watering breakfast, everyone boarded the special bus again and went to the Tokyo Olympic Stadium together, waiting for the start of today's important schedule.
Since the competition had ended, Chen Yada went to watch the game with everyone else today. However, Zhang Ziyi did not go with the bus because he had to participate in the 4x400m men's sprint relay tomorrow. However, he still insisted on sending Chen Yada to the bus before returning to the training room in the China Building.
At this moment, everyone in the team already knew about the relationship between Zhang Ziyi and Chen Yada. Last night's topic of "the sweetest couple in the national track and field team" was later reposted and confirmed by the official Weibo account of the national team. So everyone joked with Zhang Ziyi and Chen Yada after seeing them, but both of them looked very calm and composed. Zhang Ziyi even grabbed Chen Yada's hand and walked all the way to the bus, causing many single dogs on the bus to shout that they were full of dog food.
By the time Su Bai got in the car, he was already used to seeing Cui Luoheng sitting in the seat originally occupied by Pei Jinan. At this moment, Cui Luoheng sat in the seat, looking at Su Bai eagerly, so much so that the 'mature' personality he had been creating for himself this year seemed to be about to collapse.
Su Bai looked at Cui Luoheng and felt like touching his head, but since they were in the car after all, he controlled his hand and just sat in his seat with amusement.
Pei Jinan, who got on the car later, first glanced at Zhang Ziyi and Chen Yada outside the car, then glanced at Cui Luoheng in the car. He raised his eyebrows with amusement, and without saying a word, he sat in another seat across the aisle from Su Bai.
Of course, track and field fans had no idea what was happening on the national team bus. With the arrival of the August 5 race, the track and field related topics on the Internet had already shifted from the women's 400-meter sprint, men's 200-meter sprint and the couple of Chen Yadan and Zhang Ziyi on the previous day to today's race.
The importance of today's game is undoubtedly very heavy.
The morning schedule included the 110-meter hurdles final, which determined whether Cui Luoheng's gold-winning declaration could be realized, and whether Chinese athletes could once again win the gold medal in the world's top competition in the 110-meter hurdles.
The evening's race is the final of the men's 400-meter sprint event, which is a rapidly rising event in China in recent years. People are still waiting to see whether Qiu Wen, the crazy rhythm disruptor on the field, can also display his extraordinary ability in tonight's final and get an amazing result.
On Weibo, a sports influencer also spoke out early this morning: [I guess today is destined to be another exciting and incomparable day - at this moment, I am looking forward to the arrival of today's event! I hope that Cui Luoheng and Qiu Wen can perform at their best in today's game! 】
