[Oh my, it’s raining in H City today...! 】
[I thought I could see a new round of pb refresh competition today...]
As the live broadcast of the sports channel started, the audience's brows jumped when they saw the rain in H City - for outdoor events, it is inevitable that it will rain during the scheduled game time. As long as the rain is not heavy enough to affect the normal game, the game will proceed as planned.
However, when it rains, the outdoor temperature drops, the track becomes slippery due to the rain, etc., which are bound to affect the athletes' normal performance.
In this case, we can only hope that the athletes will perform normally. It is unrealistic to expect to refresh their PB.
Shao Minyi and Li Sen, two commentators on the scene, were also a little worried about today's weather conditions.
"In yesterday's preliminaries, many of our athletes broke their personal bests. In the men's 100-meter race, Fang Yu also successfully ran his best result of the entire 2018 year on the last day of the year."
"Based on Fang Yu's condition yesterday, he has a good chance of running better today..." Li Sen paused and said, "I hope today's weather won't have too much impact on our runners."
In fact, Pei Jinan had been worried about today's weather. Fang Yu's excellent performance in the preliminaries the day before also made him very excited. He certainly understood what the Athletics Administration Center meant by the call last night - Chinese track and field events, or the 100-meter sprint, really needed a new shot in the arm. If Fang Yu could break 10 again, it would be inspiring both spiritually and practically.
It's just that today's rainy weather cast a gloom over Pei Jinan's heart, although he was originally full of confidence in Fang Yu.
Su Bai, on the other hand, seemed very calm from beginning to end.
"Xiaobai, the weather today... do you think Fang Yu will be okay?" Pei Jinan couldn't help but asked Su Bai this question.
Su Bai smiled when he heard this question. He motioned Pei Jinan to look at Fang Yu who had already arrived at the competition venue, and then said in a very firm tone: "Coach Pei, believe in Fang Yu, he will not let himself have any problems!"
Pei Jinan was stunned when he heard Su Bai's words. What Su Bai just said was...'Fang Yu won't let himself have any problems'?
Pei Jinan then turned his gaze to Fang Yu on the track. At this moment, in the misty drizzle, he was gently patting his thighs and arms, while also jumping from time to time to ensure that the coldness brought by the rain would not affect the results of his previous warm-up.
Standing at the starting line of the 100-meter race, Fang Yu was not only calm, but his eyes were also firmly fixed on the finish line of the track - that was his goal.
Just as Su Bai said, Fang Yu will not allow himself to get into trouble!
His age does not allow him to have any problems, and his expectations do not allow him to have any problems either!
Ever since he first broke the 10-second barrier in 2015, Fang Yu had longed countless times to once again break through the barrier known as the yellow race's restricted zone. However, over the years, no matter how hard he tried, the original result of 9.99 seconds seemed like a dream. He even began to doubt whether there was a malfunction in the electronic timing of the World Championships that year.
Until now.
In yesterday's preliminaries, when he saw his result of 10.03 seconds, it was difficult to describe in words the excitement and excitement in his heart.
He knew clearly that he had not tried his best in yesterday's preliminaries... So, what would have been the result if he had tried to run as hard as he could in yesterday's race?
This thought has been lingering in his mind. During this period of training, he has been following Su Bai's instructions and not paying attention to his full 100-meter results. But he thought that now is the time for him to thoroughly review his results during this period!
Even though it was drizzling, it couldn't stop Fang Yu's inner eagerness at the moment. He was eager to know whether he could open the door of the restricted area again when he completely let go of his pace and sprinted forward with all his strength!
With such expectations in mind, Fang Yu's eyes were always fixed on the 100-meter finish line in front of him - he couldn't wait for this race!
In the commentary booth, although Shao Minyi and Li Sen tried hard to suppress their expectations, they still had expectations for Fang Yu in their hearts.
"The players currently competing include Fang Yu from my country, Hideichi Morita and Sho Komatsu from Japan, Kochi and Yawi from Bahrain, Shahrukh from India, Abdullah from Qatar and Kihani from Iran."
"Among all the athletes present, only our athlete Fang Yu and the naturalized athlete Yawei from Bahrain have the ability to break 10 seconds in the 100m. Yawei's current personal PB of 9.97 seconds is also the best result achieved by Asian athletes in the 100m in recent years."
"Yes." Li Sen nodded and continued, "Although there are only two athletes who have broken 10 seconds in the 100m, Yawei and Fang Yu, Japan also has great ambitions in the sprint event. They have been committed to cultivating their own athletes who can break 10 seconds in the 100m. The two athletes who came to participate in this competition, Hideichi Morita and Sho Komatsu, both have personal PBs within 10.05 seconds. Among them, Sho Komatsu is the current holder of the national record in Japan. His personal PB is 10.01 seconds. He is known as the sprinting talent in Japan who is most likely to break the 10-second mark. In yesterday's preliminaries, Sho Komatsu also ran a good result of 10.08 seconds. It can be seen that his current state is also very good."
"In today's competition, it can be predicted that Fang Yu's biggest opponents are the two players Yawei and Xiaosong Xiang."
In the live broadcast room, the track and field fans who were watching the game were also in a very nervous mood. Yesterday's preliminaries had brought them too many surprises, but today it was rainy since this morning, which made the track and field fans who were following the game and those who were watching the game very nervous.
Even people who don’t know much about athletics know that competing in the rain is never easy.
Amidst such tension, anxiety and anticipation, all the contestants on the scene were already ready. The starter's voice sounded calmly over the broadcast, and all the athletes quickly squatted on their starting blocks, supported themselves on the slightly slippery ground with their hands, raised their hips, focused their eyes, and prepared to start.
"Everyone, take your positions."
"preparation."
"Bang!"
The crisp sound of the starting gun rang out in the drizzle. At the moment the gun went off, even the track in the rain seemed to be covered with a layer of mist because of the boiling hearts among the contestants.
The final of the 100-meter event has officially begun!
Perhaps because the Chinese team's players performed exceptionally well in the previous day's competition, players from other countries also realized the importance the Chinese team attached to this competition. In today's final, they also took this competition more seriously.
From the moment you hear the gunshot at the start, you can feel the strong smell of gunpowder between the 8 contestants on the field!
Among all the runners, the one with the fastest reaction time at the start was Yawi from Bahrain. His reaction time at the start was only 0.131 seconds, which reflected his excellent condition at the moment.
Among the crowd, Fang Yu ranked second in starting reaction speed, with a starting reaction time of 0.137 seconds, which was not much slower than Yawei.
Among the 8 athletes present, only one made a mistake at the start, dragging the starting reaction time to 0.198 seconds, but this result cannot be considered a serious mistake.
From this series of starting reaction times averaging around 0.15 seconds, it can be seen that the eight players present are very motivated and their condition is excellent even in the misty rain!
Among them, Fang Yu's spirit and state can be said to be the most excited!
From the start, his right foot stepped on the starting block. After this period of training, his power burst skills have been further improved. The moment his right foot exerted force, he followed this force to get himself started quickly. From the starting explosion to the transition to acceleration, each of his steps was solid and powerful.
Although the track was a little slippery due to the rain, the slippery bottom edge did not affect his grip. His explosive power and solid lower limb strength allowed him to hold on to the ground firmly with every step, and then swing his hips to push himself one step forward!
From the perspective of the commentary booth, we can see that during the acceleration phase at the start, Fang Yu was like a nimble lion, almost roaring and extending his claws forward!
Leading!
In just the first 30 meters of the acceleration stage, Fang Yu's speed allowed him to successfully lead Yawei by half a body length, while Xiao Songxiang, who was almost side by side with Yawei, was also desperately moving forward, trying to catch up with Fang Yu in front!
The first 50 meters were originally Fang Yu's advantageous stage. Fang Yu's old rivals like Yawei and Xiaosong Xiang knew clearly that as long as they were not completely left behind by Fang Yu in the first 50 meters, they would have a great chance of overtaking Fang Yu in the subsequent stages!
Strong explosive power in the early stage, but insufficient strength in the later stage, this has always been one of the problems that Fang Yu has found difficult to overcome.
Yawei and Xiaosong Xiang were following closely behind Fang Yu. They were waiting for the moment when Fang Yu's physical strength declined and his technical movements became distorted - that would be the best opportunity for them to overtake Fang Yu!
On the track, Fang Yu tried his best to control his breathing. His opponents were waiting for the moment when his strength would decline, but at this moment, he was running on the track, listening to his own pounding heartbeat, his own wheezing, and the loud cheers of the only lucky spectators in the audience. He felt that every step he took on the ground was giving him the power to sprint forward again!
No more troubles with lack of physical energy!
The problem that had troubled him throughout his career was unexpectedly resolved invisibly during these two months of training. In the training plan Su Bai gave him, there was no specific part that was specifically designed to adjust his physical fitness, but during the two months of training, he had a new understanding of the use of strength and explosive power techniques.
Just through adjusting these details, he has realized that his lack of physical fitness during training has been greatly alleviated.
And in yesterday's game, his feeling became even more obvious.
The physical problems that once troubled him no longer exist! In other words, this problem has been greatly alleviated now!
If he was able to break the ten-second barrier in the past when his skills and strength were not so mature, then now, when the physical problems that have been bothering him have been greatly alleviated, will he still give in to the ten-second door that was once tightly closed to him?
No!
He wants to win, he wants to cross that threshold again and see the scenery within ten seconds again! !
In the audience, the lucky audience watched Fang Yu sprinting hard on the field. Behind him, Yawei, Xiaosong Xiang, Morita Shuichi and other players were also competing with each other. In the first 50 meters alone, the order of the players had been exchanged countless times. The only thing that remained unchanged was the figure wearing the Chinese team uniform who was always running in the front...
come on……!
Fang Yu, come on! !
Although there were only a hundred or so lucky spectators who were able to enter the stadium to watch the game, they were all cheering for Fang Yu on the field with all their might. They were all eager to witness the birth of a miracle in this stadium today!
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, cheers of encouragement flowed like water. Everyone was watching the live broadcast nervously, looking at the figure with a slightly wet face but eyes looking forward sharply, as if he would never admit defeat!
come on!
Fang Yu, you must keep working hard! ! !
On the track, Yawei and Xiaosong Xiang were both a little shocked - the 100-meter race was already halfway through, and in their impression, Fang Yu should have shown signs of physical exhaustion and a drop in speed at this stage, but why? Why is Fang Yu still maintaining a steady speed until now? !
The middle and late stages of the run were always the stage where Fang Yu's speed was most likely to get out of control, but now on the field, there was no sign of this at all.
Fang Yu's behavior made Yawei and Xiaosong Xiang feel a chill in their hearts.
They originally thought that the best opportunity to overtake Fang Yu would be in the middle and late stages of the race, but now, this opportunity seemed to have disappeared...!
On the 100-meter track, victory and failure are often just a matter of a single thought for the athletes.
Now that the season is halfway through, they no longer have time to wait for the next opportunity.
rush!
Although Fang Yu has temporarily stabilized his speed, in the next stage, he will be able to maintain this speed until the end!
With this idea in mind, Yawei and Xiaosong Xiang on Fang Yu's left and right both accelerated their arm swings and stride frequencies, further increasing their speed on the track, and began to overtake Fang Yu in the last 40 meters!
Tap tap tap...!
Of course, Fang Yu also heard the footsteps of Yawei and Xiaosongxiang behind him. At the same time, Fang Yu looked at the finish line in front of him, adjusted his breathing rhythm, and also increased his arm swing and stride frequency... At the final stage of the 100-meter sprint, the high-speed athlete who did not do any anaerobic work throughout the whole process had already consumed a lot of oxygen in his muscles.
Muscle soreness and fatigue have already hit me at the same time at this moment.
But along with all the pain, what also came to his mind was his endless obsession with victory!
He needs to be faster...faster!
Maybe if he were just a little faster, he could see that wonderful world within 10 seconds again...!
Huff, huff, that was the sound of his breathing to control his pace. His eyes were wide open and his teeth were bared. From his tense face and posture, it could be seen that he was using all his strength to rush towards the final finish line at the fastest speed!
"Come on!!! Come on Fang Yu!!!"
"Yawei and Xiaosongxiang are trying to overtake Fang Yu. They are only one body length away from Fang Yu!"
"come on!!"
In the commentary booth, Shao Minyi and Li Sen's voices were still rational, but even on the track in the drizzle, Fang Yu's all-out attitude made their hearts beat violently.
Thinking of Fang Yu's result yesterday, Shao Minyi and Li Sen both clearly realized that Fang Yu did not give up. He did not give up the hope of breaking the ten-second mark again under the harsh conditions of this rainy day!
The moment this thought came to mind, both Shao Minyi and Li Sen felt their scalps tingling.
Come on, come on!
At this moment, it seems that there are no more words to express their feelings except the words "come on!"!
The audience in the live broadcast room also realized something. The entire room was filled with cheering comments one after another, as if they wanted to turn these comments into reality, send them to the H city stadium, send them to Fang Yu's ears, let him hear each and every one of them support and encourage him!
Come on, Fang Yu!
The audience in front of the live broadcast clenched their fists and stared nervously at the figure struggling in the rain on the screen. His face looked a little ferocious because he had put all his strength into it, but this momentum also helped him further widen the distance between himself and Yawei and Komatsu Sho!
In the last 20 meters, Yawei and Xiaosong Xiang were both a little bit unbelievable to see that Fang Yu had once again widened the distance between them.
This is impossible? !
Isn’t the final stage the stage when Fang Yu’s physical strength is the weakest?
At this stage, shouldn't he have been almost exhausted and barely able to sprint?
Just two or three months ago at the Asian Games, Fang Yu maintained the same condition as before. Although he performed well in the first half of the competition, his loss of speed in the second half caused him to fall from the first position, and he finally only got the bronze medal.
But why did the problem that once troubled Fang Yu disappear after only two or three months?
Stimulants?
No!
This thought just appeared for a moment before it was wiped out from the minds of Yawei and Komatsu Sho. China is almost the sports powerhouse with the strictest control over doping. Not to mention this, it is only the winter training period now. What is the point of using doping in a game that is grand but is actually just a winter training competition?
Extraneous thoughts flashed through the minds of the two people and were quickly put aside. In the final sprint stage, they no longer had the energy to think more and could only rush forward desperately!
Don't let go of any glimmer of hope. In the final stage, give it your all and sprint away!
There were no distracting thoughts in Fang Yu's mind anymore. He just stared at the finish line in front of him. The drizzle in the sky, the opponents around him, and the cheers from the audience, all of these had been forgotten by Fang Yu.
At this moment, the only goal in his mind is to cross the finish line!
Reopen the finish line, reopen the ten-second restricted area that was once opened to him but also locked him out!
At this final moment, everyone who was paying attention to the game, at the scene, in the commentary booth, in the live broadcast room... and in the distant office of the B City Track and Field Management Center, were closely watching Fang Yu's final sprint.
10 meters...5 meters...2 meters...finish line!
"Congratulations to Fang Yu!" Shao Minyi was the first to shout out from the commentary booth: "Congratulations to him for winning the men's 100m championship in today's Asian Six Nations Track and Field Combined Competition!"
“Congratulations to Yawei from Bahrain and Sho Komatsu from Japan for taking second and third place respectively in the final!”
The moment Fang Yu crossed the finish line, everyone's heart was at its highest point, and then after seeing him cross the finish line, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Very good!
Fang Yu won!
Although it was just a joint competition, it also meant that he is in great shape now. Compared with Fang Yu who lost to Yawei in the final of the Asian Games and was obviously in a slump in the National Championships, Fang Yu who led the whole time today and failed even when Yawei and Komatsu Xiang accelerated and tried to overtake, is enough to make any track and field fan excited!
“Win!”
Pei Jinan looked at Fang Yu on the field, his face full of excitement, his fists clenched tightly, and then he looked nervously at the large electronic display screen in the stadium - there would be the first time to give the final results of the players.
Fang Yu won, but what will be the final result?
Not only Pei Jinan, Fang Yu also turned his attention to the big screen on site after the buffering ended. In the audience seats, the live broadcast room, or the field management center, everyone was nervously waiting for the final results to appear.
At this time, Su Bai was also quietly looking in the direction of the big screen, silently waiting for the final number to light up.
Perhaps the referee team also captured everyone's anticipation for Fang Yu's result. After a short wait, the result was transmitted to the commentary booth and at the same time, the result was lit up on the big screen on site.
As soon as Shao Minyi and Li Sen received the final results, they quickly looked at the number of Fang Yu, who was ranked first. When their eyes were fixed on that number, even Shao Minyi and Li Sen, two veteran gold medal commentators in track and field, were stuck for a moment.
After taking a deep breath, Shao Min opened his mouth and announced in a suppressed and excited voice: "The final results of the Six Nations Joint Competition Men's 100m Finals - First place: Fang Yu (China) 9.96 seconds (wind speed +1.0m/s) set a personal best and national record!"
When this voice sounded, the audience of only a hundred or so at the scene also cheered loudly that resounded throughout the stadium. At the end of the track, Fang Yu turned around and looked at the results that had also appeared on the big screen at the scene. After shaking his fist vigorously, he suddenly closed his eyes and looked up at the sky. At this time, the slightly larger raindrops fell on his face and slid down his face. For a moment, no one could tell whether what was sliding down his face was raindrops falling on his face, or two faint lines of tears.
From 2015 to 2019.
The Chinese athlete, Fang Yu, finally broke the 100-meter ten-second limit again!
