silver medal! !
It’s a silver medal! !
Even though they saw the result with their own eyes, many people could not believe their eyes. Then, after a brief moment of doubt, they were filled with joy that burst through their chests. That joy quickly spread throughout their bodies, making everyone unable to help but tremble.
I don't know at which moment, tears had quietly welled up in their eyes. They couldn't help but shed tears, letting them flow down their cheeks. Then they grinned and laughed happily, waving their hands excitedly towards the finish line of the 400-meter relay.
This happy atmosphere infected everyone in the audience where the Chinese team was. Qiu Wen, Zhou Xu, and Zhang Chang had long been unable to sit still in their seats. After seeing Li Junhao cross the finish line, the three of them had already circled out of their seats and jumped to the fence closest to the stadium in two steps. They just short of jumping over the fence and jumping into the stadium to join Li Junhao and the others in revelry.
When Li Junhao was the first to cross the finish line, the Bahraini athlete, who originally thought he still had a slight advantage, watched helplessly as Li Junhao, who was less than half a body length ahead of him, crossed the finish line first. This shocking situation made the Bahraini athlete stay where he was, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
After crossing the finish line, Li Junhao fell to the ground with his heart still beating rapidly. He barely had a little strength left and used his hands to turn himself over on the ground. Then he lay flat on the track, gasping for breath, his mind blank as he stared at the sky above the stadium, which was illuminated by the lights as bright as day.
Damn it, Su Bai’s conspiracy succeeded again.
However, in the end, it was because of his awesomeness that Su Bai, the big liar, was able to realize his boast!
Perhaps it was because Su Bai went too far, Li Junhao suddenly changed from a collapsed player to the world's best player... If Su Bai knew what Li Junhao was thinking, I wonder how he would feel.
While Li Junhao was lying on the ground, lost in thought, Zhang Ziyi, Lin Chuan and Guo Dun all rushed to the field excitedly, threw themselves on Li Junhao, and then the three of them stretched out their hands and rubbed Li Junhao's head excitedly.
Li Junhao, who was originally lying down and gasping for breath, just accepted the crazy beating from his teammates. They were all power athletes and none of them were inferior in strength. Li Junhao's two hands were no match for three people, so he couldn't push away the teammates who were making trouble on his head no matter how hard he pushed.
"Hey...you guys...hey!!! Stop it!!!"
Zhang Ziyi and the other two ruffled Li Junhao's hair and then burst into laughter. In their laughter, there was endless joy and relaxation.
They did it, silver medal in the 4*400m relay!
This goal, which they had never dared to think about before, has now been firmly in their hands!
This excitement made them simply not know how to vent. This victory was not easy to come by. From Zhang Ziyi's exhaustion in the first leg, to Lin Chuan's gritting teeth to hold on to the advantage in the second leg, to Guo Dun's strategic error in the third leg, he almost made an irreparable mistake. Fortunately, their fourth leg held on!
From the preliminaries the day before to today's finals, Li Junhao has firmly maintained everyone's expectations of him in two consecutive relay races. Just as Su Bai said - with Li Junhao in the last baton, there will be no problem!
This kid has completely recovered from his past decadence. He is not afraid of strong enemies. Facing the bombardment of countless powerful enemies, he stabilized his formation and finally helped the team to successfully overtake!
The joint efforts of everyone in the team and teammates who are worthy of trust have made them win and succeed tonight!
After Zhang Ziyi and the other two had rubbed Li Junhao's head enough, they finally helped him up from the ground, and then the four of them hugged each other happily.
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, the commentaries of Shao Minyi and Li Sen were filled with irrepressible excitement.
"This is a day that all track and field enthusiasts in China should be proud of! This is also an Asian Games event that all track and field enthusiasts should be proud of! In this Asian Games, we have two athletes who have advanced to the 400m finals for the first time, and it is also the first time that an athlete has won an individual medal in the men's 400m at the Asian Games!"
"And tonight, our 4x400m relay team once again broke the shackles of not being able to win a medal. With their united spirit of endeavor and the unremitting efforts of every team member, they created a new history in today's competition - our men's 4x400m relay team not only won a medal for the first time, but also won the silver medal in one fell swoop!"
"Let us remember the names of the four Chinese athletes on the field - they are the first runner Zhang Ziyi, the second runner Lin Chuan, the third runner Guo Dun and the fourth runner Li Junhao! They are all great! These guys have once again created a new history for Chinese track and field!"
On the public screen of the live broadcast room, countless people had already been screaming "Ahhhhhhh". With such a game and such a scene, who could not be excited?
Even the passers-by who originally just wanted to come to the live broadcast room to watch casually became excited along with the atmosphere in the room!
[Wow, so the track and field relay race is so exciting? I got goosebumps all over my body! 】
[In those last few seconds when Li Junhao overtook the Kingdom of Bahrain, I was so excited that the hairs on my body stood up and my scalp was tingling! My heartbeat hasn't slowed down yet! 】
[My heartbeat has not slowed down +1, this is so awesome, forgive my lack of education, the only thing I can say is “awesome”, well done Zhang Shuai! Well done, Lao Lin and Lao Guo! Well done Li Junhao! ! ! 】
[Fuck, I apologize for scolding Ah Hao this year. He looks so damn handsome when he gets excited! ! ! Ah Hao, I will always support you! ! ! 】
The screen was filled with silent screams of "Ahhhhhhhh", and the live broadcast was replaying the performances of all the teams at the final moment of crossing the finish line.
So, everyone watched again the thrilling scenes of Li Junhao making a comeback from the last 50 meters to overtake Aso Yota, finally catching up with the Bahraini player with 10 meters left, and finally overtaking him to cross the finish line.
Who says China’s 400-meter race is hopeless?
Who says China’s 4x400m relay has no hope?
At this moment, looking at this scene, everyone's heart is filled with the same passion and pride!
As a die-hard supporter of the 400-meter event, Huang Yiluan was of course watching tonight's event with his group friends. He now hated himself for not inviting a few friends to watch the game together. After they won such an exciting event, they should celebrate together with their friends by opening a bottle of beer!
Thinking of this, Huang Yiluan, who was originally banging his head on the table in front of his computer excitedly, stood up and took out a can of beer from his refrigerator. Just as he was about to pull the ring to celebrate, the live broadcast began to announce the final results of the 4*400m event.
"The final results of the men's 4*400m event in the Jakarta Asian Games are: first place: Qatar team, 3 minutes 00.81 seconds (AR record, GR tournament record), second place: China team, 3 minutes 02.12 seconds (NR national record), third place: Bahrain team, 3 minutes 02.37 seconds..."
As the final result was announced, the Chinese team members in the audience even fell into a brief moment of confusion and bewilderment. Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at one of the large screens at the scene, looking at the result on it and the two letters "NR" behind the result...
National record…?
In this competition, not only did they win the first medal in the 4*400m event, but they also broke the national record that had been dormant for more than ten years? !
3 minutes 03 seconds 66, this is a number that Wang Ting has engraved in his mind for more than ten years. He has fantasized about leading the team to break this number countless times, but he has always succeeded.
Until this moment finally came, Wang Ting looked at the numbers on the huge electronic display and burst into tears.
"The record is broken!!! Lao Pei, Lao Jiang, did you see that? The record is broken!!!"
While Wang Ting was clapping crazily, he was shouting and repeating the same words to Jiang Wentao and Pei Jinan - the record was broken! ! !
After more than ten years, China's men's 4*400m record was finally replaced with a new string of numbers on this day!
"We saw it! We saw it!"
The eyes of Jiang Wentao and Pei Jinan became moist again.
Unexpectedly, they really didn’t expect it!
These players are great! It was this brilliant and amazing result that they had achieved with all their efforts! It was they who broke the curse that had hung over China's track and field events for more than ten years!
From today on, they can say loudly and proudly: every track and field athlete in the 400-meter event has always been working hard, they are not constantly regressing, they have not stood still... They won, and this new record is their ironclad proof!
On the field, Zhang Ziyi and others hugged each other again to celebrate after seeing the final results. They were even so excited that they knelt on the track and kissed the ground - it was this track that witnessed their new record and new history!
It was on this track that they engraved their names on China's 4*400m record!
Be it Zhang Ziyi, Lin Chuan, Guo Dun or Li Junhao, none of them expected that they would perform such legendary results in today's competition!
The cheers from the audience and the equally crazy celebrations from the champion Qatar team, everything around seemed so lively and festive.
After a frenzy of cheers and celebrations, Zhang Ziyi suddenly remembered something and dragged everyone to the side of the track facing the Chinese team's audience seats. He bowed deeply to Su Bai, Wang Ting, Jiang Wentao, Pei Jinan and others who were applauding and celebrating for them.
Before today and this competition, they never thought that they could achieve such results.
But there was one person who always believed in them, pointed out the direction for them, and paved the way for their success today!
Their victory, joy and glory should be shared with their coach!
The cheers and celebrations at the scene are still going on, and track and field fans in the live broadcast room, Weibo, Track and Field Kingdom Forum and other places have already been completely immersed in the carnival.
This has shackled the Chinese 400-meter relay record for more than ten years!
Just today, everything was overturned overnight!
If such an achievement is not worth celebrating, then what other achievements are worthy of people's celebration?
The official Weibo accounts of the National Track and Field Team and the Athletics Administration Center excitedly released official Weibo messages as soon as possible.
Official Weibo of the National Track and Field Team: [#Jakarta Asian Games Track and Field Moment# In tonight's 4*400m men's relay race, the four players of the Chinese 400m relay team @张子义, @林川, @郭盾, @李俊豪 won the Asian Games 400m relay silver medal for the first time with a time of 3 minutes 02.12 seconds. At the same time, this result also broke my country's 400m relay record that had been dormant for 12 years! 】
The official Weibo account of the Athletics Administration Center: [#Asian Games Track and Field#, #Asian Games Highlights# In the men's 4*400m relay race of the Jakarta Asian Games held tonight, China's track and field athletes successfully won the first Asian Games 4*400m relay silver medal with outstanding performance, tenacious will and fighting spirit, and broke my country's 400m relay record! The 12-year wait has finally paid off. This is the result of the hard work of Chinese athletes and also the growth step of Chinese track and field! Let us congratulate them and congratulate them on their success! 】
Not only the official Weibo channel, but also various track and field related small groups on the Internet are extremely active at this moment.
Huang Yiluan had just heard the result of the Chinese relay team when he opened the pull ring of his beer can. He was so excited that he waved his hand and the beer in his hand spread all over the floor. However, he did not care about that. After drinking the remaining beer in the bottle in a few gulps, he rushed back to his computer and opened a group chat. Sure enough, everyone in the group was excited!
Lao Yong doesn’t want to run: [Fuck fuck fuck fuck, this is crazy! ! ! Running like crazy! ! ! 3 minutes 02 seconds 12! Could we have imagined this result before the competition started? ! 】
A horse doesn't eat grass: [I'm crazy! ! Who would have thought? Anyway, I couldn’t imagine it! I just want to go downstairs and run a lap right now. I’m so excited now that I don’t need to sleep tonight! 】
Lao Yong doesn’t want to run: [12 years... a cycle, the 4*400 record has been broken, so is the 400 individual record still far away, brothers? ! 】
A horse doesn't eat grass: [Not far! ! ! Now I feel that with Su Bai here, not to mention the national record of 400m, I'm even starting to dream that our athletes will meet the Olympic standards, okay? 】
Huang is serious Huang: [? Lao Ma, be bolder, and let YY’s ideas be even bolder! What is the Olympic competition standard? We have to enter the Olympics and at least make it to the semifinals! 】
?
Lao Yong doesn’t want to run: […Then you are awesome? Your ideal is not as good as Ma's goal of reaching the Olympic standard? 】
In 2016, the qualifying time for the 400m at the Rio Olympics was 45.40 seconds. Judging from Zhang Ziyi's 400m result of 45.43 seconds, which broke his personal best, he has not yet reached the 2016 men's 400m qualification standard. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics qualification standard will definitely be further improved. As for how much it will be improved, it may depend on the qualification standard of the 2019 World Athletics Championships, which should be able to serve as a reference by then.
However, although the Olympic entry standards are so high, the results of the preliminaries to the semifinals are different. Generally speaking, in the preliminaries, as long as the athletes run within 46 seconds, they have the hope of entering the semifinals.
Therefore, judging from the current performance of the Chinese track and field team's 400-meter athletes, both Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen lack the qualification to participate in the Olympics. And with their current stable performance, after obtaining the Olympic qualification, they have great hope of reaching the semi-finals!
Huang is a serious Huang: [Hey, the Olympic competition standards won’t be released until next year. Aren’t we supposed to be waiting for the qualifying standards for next year’s World Championships? Hey, wait, aren't we talking about breaking the national record for 4x400? 】
No matter what they are talking about, the atmosphere among everyone in all track and field related groups is exciting and thrilling.
On Weibo, a wealthy track and field fan named [大圣跑得快] once again stood up and directly started another hot topic of #Track and field coach Su Bai#, and even pushed this topic to the level of being on par with the officially promoted #Asian Games Track and Field 4*400m breaks 12-year record#.
At first, track and field fans and ordinary passers-by didn’t know that this wealthy boss had made another move. It was only then that some bystanders in the entertainment industry noticed that the topic of this coach had occupied the default advertising position in the Weibo topic rankings for too long, and they realized something was wrong.
However, those who have been watching the entertainment industry for years are also very confused.
?
What's going on?
Who is this coach?
Are you going to make your debut?
Why does a track and field coach need to brush up on the topic rankings?
With such a confused mentality, these spectators in the entertainment industry clicked on Su Bai's related topics, and then saw a group of track and field enthusiasts partying in the topic.
[#Track and field coach Su Bai# I heard that Coach Su Bai can coach across events. Cui Luoheng in the 110-meter hurdles was also brought back together by Coach Su, right? Didn’t Coach Su start out as a 100-meter sprinter? Coach, why don’t you take a look at our Brother Yu? 】
[#Track and field coach Su Bai# Ahhhh, a novice coach who is not even 23 years old, led the Chinese track and field team to win the first Asian Games bronze medal and relay silver medal in history in the 400m event! ! ! He also led the 110-meter hurdles team to win the Asian Games gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles! ! ! What kind of godly coach is this? ? ? Our project also wants a coach named Xiao Su...】
【? What are you doing? Are you trying to snatch the coach? Although Su Bai started out as a 100-meter sprinter, he chose to be a 400-meter coach. Now that he has such good results as a leader, he will definitely be the head coach of the national team's 400-meter program. There's no need to fight for the position, right? 】
Why can’t we just rob it? What do your friends in the 110-meter hurdles think of what you said? If Coach Su has the ability, wouldn’t it be great if he could train a few more players? 】
………………
…………
…
?
After the spectators in the entertainment industry got into this topic, they were confused at first, and then they started laughing - these straight male brothers always say that there are always quarrels in the entertainment industry, but isn't there also quarrels in the sports industry?
And this is still about tearing apart the affiliation of a coach?
But after watching the whole thing, this coach is pretty awesome, right? He was less than 23 years old, retired from being a 100-meter sprinter and became a coach directly. Then, in more than half a year, all the players he trained achieved good results?
Wow, what kind of genius character is this from a novel?
Watching Su Bai’s interview video again—Huh? The coach is quite handsome? Hey, I'm a fan of this young man with a genius coach personality. It's totally worth it to buy one of him as a wallflower!
Therefore, among the topics that are popular among sports enthusiasts, some Weibo content with a different style occasionally pops up.
——[I’m planning to buy Coach Xiao Su as a wall-climber. Are there any friends who want to watch the show? Coach Xiao Su doesn’t have any dark history, right? Also, please advise, if I start to follow Coach Xiao Su as a wall, which project should I choose to be safe? It seems that Coach Xiao Su can also cross projects. I feel like I need to be a fan of the project he is most loyal to... PS: Coach Xiao Su is such a handsome and cool brother, is there any CP that we can ship him with? 】
1l: [Come and stand for 400 meters, sisters! The 400m results in track and field were so good this time, so our Xiaobai will definitely be locked in with the 400m next time. And at the moment, there are a large number of runners in the 400m event, and their quality is also high. You can easily buy a perfect match for them, and there’s also his childhood sweetheart, Qiu Wen. Secretly, I suspect Xiaobai switched careers to become a coach just for Qiu Wen...! What do you think of this way of eating? Is it sweet? 】
3l: [? Sisters, let’s go to our 110-meter hurdles, which was once a golden event in China. Now we have two young athletes, Lu Mengfan and Cui Luoheng. This time, Xiao Lu and Xiao Cui won the bronze and gold medals respectively. I feel that the day when Xiao Lu will learn from Xiao Bai is not far away...! And you see, Xiaolu and Xiaocui, these two are tall and have long legs, 190+cm strong, you can choose either one of them older or younger, if you like them, you can go all in, what a happy CP! 】
In short, the men's 4*400m relay final that night attracted countless sports and track and field enthusiasts. The trending searches purchased by "The Monkey King runs fast" and the official promotion on Weibo also attracted the attention of countless people outside the circle to the 4*400m event, and even to Su Bai at the same time.
Of course, Su Bai, who was still at the competition site at the moment, had no time to understand all this.
After the women's 4*400 and men's 4*400 finals were completed, the scene was reorganized and the podium was moved to the stadium by the staff.
When the award ceremony for the men's 4*400m officially began, the athletes, draped in the national flag, excitedly stood on the podium. With smiles in their eyes, they happily waved to the audience in the seats on all sides.
In the Chinese players' area, after the intense excitement, Wang Ting and others had calmed down a lot. But even so, when they saw Zhang Ziyi and others standing on the podium wearing the national flag, tears still welled up in their eyes.
When the Qatar national anthem sounded, everyone looked at the three flags rising at the same time. Among them, the flag belonging to the Chinese team was fluttering in the sky. The bright red color was engraved in the eyes of every Chinese.
Zhang Ziyi looked at the rising national flag, listened to the music in his ears, and a wish quietly rose in his heart - next time, he hoped to hear the Chinese national anthem on the podium!
