The evening competition starts at 7:50. In tonight's schedule, except for the men's 4x400m sprint relay which is a preliminaries, the remaining 6 games are all finals of each event.
It is for this reason that the men's 4x400m relay preliminaries were scheduled as the first race of the evening competition.
The domestic enthusiasm for the Olympics initially peaked at the opening ceremony of the Olympics, then fell back in the middle. After the start of the track and field events, the attention to the Olympics quickly recovered.
With the high attention paid to track and field events during this period, most domestic audiences have of course already understood the rapid growth of the 400-meter sprint event.
Especially in the men's 400m sprint in recent days, the miracle of Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen breaking records continuously is still before our eyes. The audience will naturally not miss the men's 4x400m sprint relay tonight.
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were introducing the results of the men's 4x400m sprint and the relevant level of the Chinese team to the audience.
"Some viewers may still remember that at last year's World Athletics Relays, the Chinese team successfully qualified for the men's 4x400m sprint relay at the World Championships and the Tokyo Olympics. This was actually the first time that the Chinese 4x400m sprint relay team qualified for the relay events of the World Championships and the Olympics."
“Although this is only the first time that the Chinese team has qualified, with the current configuration of the Chinese team, as long as they can maintain a stable state, it will not be too difficult for the Chinese team to advance.”
"Yes." Li Sen heard this and took over Shao Minyi's words with a smile: "Although the Chinese team only qualified for the World Championships and the Olympics for the first time, during the World Championships, the Chinese men's 4x400m sprint relay team successfully advanced to the finals and ran a national record of 3 minutes 01 seconds 07. In tonight's game, we can see that Coach Su Baisu has replaced a new player for this relay team - Zhang Jiale."
"In terms of individual strength, although Zhang Jiale is still a newcomer, his potential and achievements have surpassed the original veteran Guo Dun. In addition, the three original players in the relay team, Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen and Li Junhao, have all improved their personal strength to varying degrees. It can be said that the current men's 4x400m sprint relay team is better than the configuration during the World Championships in terms of overall strength. I believe that with such a configuration, as long as the players run in a stable state as I just said, there will be no problem in advancing to the finals!"
After Shao Minyi and Li Sen introduced this series of situations, they turned the topic to the upcoming games and competition groups.
Similar to the World Championships, there are a total of 16 teams participating in the men's 4x400m sprint relay, divided into two groups. The Chinese team is in the first preliminaries group, which includes Britain, Japan, Belgium, Trinidad and Tobago, Australia, France, Jamaica and China.
Among these eight teams, Jamaica is undoubtedly the strongest, but the strength of Belgium, Trinidad and Tobago and France should not be underestimated.
"In addition to the strong traditional teams like Jamaica, the host Japan will certainly give their all in this game. With the enthusiastic support of the Japanese audience, the Japanese team may also achieve unexpectedly strong results."
When Shao Minyi said this, he frowned slightly. He was a little worried that the home atmosphere in Japan would affect the performance of several players of the Chinese team, especially Zhang Jiale in the team. He still lacks competition experience and is not as good as his other teammates. He didn't know if he would be affected in today's game?
At the scene, as the first group of competitors in the first event of the evening game, the Chinese men's 4x400m sprint relay team had already arrived on the field under the guidance of the staff.
Of course, in addition to the Chinese team, athletes from the remaining teams also took to the field. However, when the athletes from the eight teams took the field, one team received particularly crazy cheers - that was the host team of the men's 4x400m sprint from Japan.
The members of the Japanese team are already familiar opponents to Zhang Ziyi and others. Japanese 400-meter champions such as Sora Akiyama and Yota Aso are still the main force in the relay team.
This time, the Japanese team is playing at home. Although they know that the Japanese team may have little hope of advancing, they certainly cannot give up in the Olympic Games at home.
After noticing the gazes of Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen and others on the Chinese team, they all looked back unwillingly, as if they wanted to tell everyone on the Chinese team that they would never give in in this game!
On the field, the first runners of the eight teams have already taken their positions on their respective tracks, and the second, third and fourth runners have also lined up in an orderly manner in the field under the arrangement of the staff.
In this group of preliminaries, the Chinese team had good luck and was placed in the golden seventh lane. At this time, Zhang Ziyi had already adjusted the starting blocks at the starting position of the track and was now waiting for the official start of the race later.
The Japanese team was also lucky, as they were in lane 4, which was also a very good lane. However, when Zhang Ziyi looked back at the first runner of the Japanese team, Sora Akiyama, he noticed that Sora Akiyama had a solemn expression and looked extremely nervous.
In the audience seats, many spectators from Japan were wearing headbands, waving the Japanese flag, and cheering loudly and rhythmically for the Japanese team members.
"The enthusiasm of the audience is often a double-edged sword. This enthusiasm can inspire the athletes to be in a competitive state, but excessive enthusiasm may also bring too much pressure to the athletes. In this regard, the Japanese relay team should have a lot of experience."
When the camera swept over the enthusiastic Japanese audience in the auditorium, Li Sen said this with a smile.
Shao Min, who was beside Li Sen, smiled and nodded immediately. In front of the TV and in the live broadcast room, some viewers who had followed the World Athletics Relays at that time also smiled knowingly after hearing this.
What Li Sen was talking about, of course, was the World Athletics Relay Games, when the Japanese men's sprint relay team members made mistakes in passing the baton due to excessive excitement - this was a completely unexpected experience for the Japanese team, which was famous for its baton passing speed and tacit understanding.
While chatting and laughing, Shao Minyi and Li Sen also glanced at Akiyama Sora who was obviously under a lot of pressure on the field. They knew in their hearts that the players of the Japanese team might still have traumas from this incident.
It is not just the Japanese team that has a trauma in their hearts. The runner on the eighth track is Jamaica's first runner McPherson. After the Jamaican star stood at the starting position of the eighth track, he subconsciously looked back to find the position of the Chinese team. After seeing that the first runner of the Chinese team was not Qiu Wen, McPherson turned around calmly.
This is not to say that McPherson is really afraid of Qiu Wen, but McPherson is indeed still a little worried that he will be influenced by Qiu Wen of the Chinese team. Qiu Wen is indeed a new type of player appearing in the top arena. The reason why he is so destructive at present is mainly because in the past, many top players have not really taken Qiu Wen seriously and have not considered how to take targeted precautions.
At least for now, before any targeted preventive measures are taken against Qiu Wen - McPherson feels that a foul in the wrong lane is enough once.
In the waiting area of the stadium, the second runners from teams such as Belgium, France and Trinidad and Tobago all looked unhappy when they realized that Qiu Wen was in the second runner-up position.
Especially Trinidad and Tobago's second batter, Machal.
Machel really didn't expect that after yesterday's final, he would have to compete with this Chinese Qiu so soon.
As soon as he saw Qiu Wen standing next to him with a silly smile and greeting him in a friendly manner, Machel's face turned unhappy.
Is it just his bad luck? Or is it just that Trinidad and Tobago has bad luck?
Not only did Machal appear in the same group and ranking as Qiu Wen today, but the Trinidad and Tobago team was in lane 6 today - Machal once again followed Qiu Wen perfectly.
This is really another 'surprise'!
Macchel and his team originally thought that they had drawn the sixth track, which was a good spot today, and that this would be beneficial to the final result of the competition. But now Macchel is no longer sure.
Qiu Wen, who was also queuing in the waiting area, had no idea that he was now regarded as a "big devil" in the eyes of other second-runners. When he saw his opponents in yesterday's 400-meter sprint final, Macheer and Tekawu, he gave them a bright grin and waved to them.
But what he didn't understand was that neither Macheer, Tekao nor Fraser from the Jamaican team showed any particularly happy expressions after seeing his greeting, which made him feel a little confused.
The advantage of Qiu Wen is that even if he is confused, he doesn't think too much. He just thinks that the game is about to start and Machel and the others are nervous.
He was still following Su Bai's instructions and turned back to tell Zhang Jiale, who was in charge of the third leg, not to be too nervous.
"Hey, Lele, don't worry, just run seriously. There's Ah Hao running the fourth leg! I tell you, Ah Hao is really good. Every time he runs the fourth leg, he can catch up a lot of points!"
?
Li Junhao, who was originally at the end of the list and was also frowning while waiting for the game to start, suddenly heard Qiu Wen's words.
He was about to refute Fei, but for a moment he didn't know how to refute. He couldn't just say to Qiu Wen and Zhang Jiale - I can't do it, don't count on me?
Thinking of this, Li Junhao frowned, but could only hum in a low voice: "Hmph, run your part well, I'll be the fourth runner."
