Chapter 147
If before the first group of preliminaries actually started, a large number of domestic bystanders did not have a clear enough understanding of the difficulty of the men's 100m preliminaries of the World Championships, then after this preliminaries really unfolded in front of everyone, these viewers who were squatting in front of the live TV screen felt for the first time what the cruelty of the World Championships level was.
In the first group of the men's 100-meter sprint preliminaries, Feng Chuming, who ranked second in the Chinese team, did not qualify directly for the semifinals as track and field fans had expected before the game.
This result was hard to believe even for the audience who had watched the game.
[What's going on?] ! 】
[Ahhh, Feng Chuming didn’t make it into the top three? ! 】
[The final result seems to be fourth? ! 】
[Screw it, this is Feng Chuming!] Didn’t he run under ten seconds last season? ? ? 】
In the live broadcast room, a large number of viewers were originally worried about whether Su Yu could successfully qualify for the semi-finals. As a result, no one expected that Feng Chuming, who was the first to perform, would have problems first.
but……
In fact, if track and field fans were to come and watch, Feng Chuming's overall performance in the last game was actually not too bad.
In the competition just now, Feng Chuming's final result was 10.21 seconds (wind speed -0.3m/s).
Although he failed to break 10.20, he ran 10.21 in a headwind, which is actually within Feng Chuming's normal performance range. You might say that he failed to run at his best, but you can't say that Feng Chuming's performance in this preliminaries was bad.
It is precisely because Feng Chuming actually performed quite well, but still failed to advance successfully... Such a result makes track and field fans even more confused about how to explain it.
On the field, after Feng Chuming crossed the finish line, he obviously knew that he had not qualified for the semi-finals. It can be seen that he covered his face with his hands for a moment, and he was obviously hit hard, but he quickly adjusted his state back...
In other words, he quickly suppressed his negative emotions.
In the live commentary room of the sports channel, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming opened their mouths after seeing Feng Chuming's results, and for a moment they looked as if they didn't know how to continue.
It has to be said that as the first player to appear in the preliminaries, Feng Chuming's failure did surprise many people. However, considering Feng Chuming's overall performance in this season, it was actually a predictable result.
This season, Feng Chuming's personal best result is 10.04 seconds achieved in the Asian Championships. After the Asian Championships, his results have been hovering between 10.15 and 10.30 seconds.
In fact, before the start of the World Championships, some track and field fans had discussed Feng Chuming's condition. There were rumors that during a period of training after the Asian Championships, Feng Chuming's old injury relapsed. Although he was treated promptly and recovered quickly, his condition has not improved.
As senior commentators in the circle, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming certainly have their own information channels, but the more specific news they have received is that Feng Chuming's injury has recovered very well and theoretically will not affect his competitive state.
It's obvious that although 'theoretically' there would be no impact, in reality, Feng Chuming's condition was affected.
After all, for sprinters, everyone knows that a score of 0.01 seconds is what they "must fight for", no matter the athlete's psychology, condition, body, or technique... any slight discomfort will make a huge difference to them.
This difference in state is difficult to describe in words, and it is also difficult to eliminate through training. We can only wait for the athletes to find their original most comfortable point through continuous training and competition.
Unfortunately, Feng Chuming seems to have not been able to regain his best form even in the World Championships.
In the live broadcast room, both Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming wanted to make an explanation for Feng Chuming, but if Feng Chuming really wanted to explain his condition, the national team would have issued a press release long ago, so that the track and field fans in the circle would not have only heard rumors until now.
Looking at Feng Chuming who had regained control of his emotions on the court, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were silent for a while, and finally changed the topic.
Tian Ruhui spoke first, "Unfortunately, our player Feng Chuming only ranked fourth in the first group of the preliminary round and failed to qualify for the semi-finals directly. However, in addition to the direct qualifying spots, there are still 6 substitutes who qualify. Feng Chuming is currently ranked first among the remaining players - there is still a chance."
"Yes." Zhou Jiming also nodded and said, "In the last London Athletics World Championships, the last player who advanced to the semi-finals had a time of 10.24 seconds. With Feng Chuming's current time of 10.21 seconds, he still has hope of advancing to the semi-finals..."
Having said that, whether it is Tian Ruhui, Zhou Jiming or the majority of track and field fans, they all know that obtaining the qualification to advance directly and taking control of one's own destiny is the most stable result.
Although Feng Chuming's 10.21 seconds still has hope of advancing compared with the previous session's qualifying results, the bad thing is that Feng Chuming is the first group of players to appear at this time. The subsequent group players will run harder in the competition even if they want to ensure their qualification for the qualifying...
A time of 10.21 seconds would have allowed him to advance to the semifinals in the last competition, but this time, that may not be the case...
Tian Ruhui and others would certainly not openly state this possibility at this stage.
After all, Feng Chuming failed to qualify in the first group of the preliminaries, which was already a big blow to the domestic audience. If there is a possibility of failure in the promotion, some audiences may not be able to persist until Zheng Tianxi and Su Yu appear.
With the end of the first group of preliminaries and the start of the second group of preliminaries, the audience finally realized that the result of 10.21 seconds that failed to advance to the semi-finals was definitely not an isolated case.
In the second group of preliminaries, this group, which was predicted to be the 'group of death' before the game, did bring a deep shock to the audience in front of the TV and the Internet - in this group, the top three players' scores were 9.98, 9.99 and 10.05 respectively.
Also in this group, the fourth and fifth ranked players had scores of 10.09 and 10.15 respectively, and it was not until the sixth ranked player that his score dropped to 10.22.
Such a result immediately made the track and field fans in front of the TV feel a little shocked - Oh no! After the second group's competition, Feng Chuming's score of 10.21 seconds had already dropped him from first to third in the overall ranking of the remaining players. In the following competitions, there were still four groups of players who had not yet appeared.
Although no one said it explicitly in the comments, in the private groups of track and field fans, the fans felt that Feng Chuming's hopes of advancing to the semi-finals of the World Championships were even slimmer.
Many people originally thought that China's sprinting had already risen, with both the 100m and 200m records having been broken in Asia, and two runners in the 100m having run under 10 seconds - at the World Championships, even if it was difficult for the Chinese runners to win medals, there would be no problem at least for them to advance to the semi-finals, right?
As a result, the facts before them told them - no, even just advancing to the semi-finals was actually not an easy task for the Chinese players.
The depressed mood seemed to spread in the live broadcast room and on the Internet in an instant, leaving people at a loss as to how to resolve it.
But fortunately, the third group of the men's 100-meter sprint preliminaries is about to begin, and the truly undisputed number one among the Chinese men's 100-meter sprint active athletes, Zheng Tianxi, the captain of the Chinese track and field sprint team, is on the field!
The moment Zheng Tianxi appeared on the stage, many viewers suddenly felt what it meant to have a "backbone".
The excitement and sense of security calmed down some viewers who had begun to hesitate whether to change channels or exit the live broadcast room.
In the audience seats of the Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar, coaches and staff of the national team including Sun Gaoshu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Zheng Tianxi appear on the court.
Feeling the relaxed atmosphere around him, Sun Gaoshu couldn't help but whisper, "This is the leader of Chinese sprinting."
It is his reliability and stability that makes everyone feel at ease whenever he appears.
In competitive sports, it is easy to find talented players, but it is difficult to find capable people.
Even Chinese table tennis, which has almost dominated the world, is actually constantly impacted and challenged by teams from all over the world. In such a team with endless talent, there are actually very few players who can really make all the fans feel at ease as soon as they appear on the court. Every time such a player appears, he almost represents a generation of legend.
Zheng Tianxi, who is now appearing in the third group of the preliminaries, is a legend of the current generation of China's sprint group.
On the court, Zheng Tianxi, who had already appeared on the court, did not think about too many extra issues. His eyes were focused on the court in front of him and he did not pay more attention to the outside of the court.
The noisy cheers and shouts at the scene did not have much impact on him. He just focused on waiting for the new game in front of him to begin.
In front of the TV, as the game started, the heartbeats of the audience watching the live broadcast couldn't help but get faster and faster.
Finally, when the starting gun sounded on the scene, Zheng Tianxi almost took the lead and accelerated...!
“Zheng Tianxi…!”
"Zheng Tianxi's startup speed is very fast!"
No matter whether it was Tian Ruhui or Zhou Jiming, after seeing Zheng Tianxi's condition and performance, both of them showed excitement on their faces - yes, that's it, that's the condition and performance!
After the consecutive blows in the first and second groups of the preliminaries, what the Chinese audience undoubtedly needs is such an exciting match!
And Zheng Tianxi on the field undoubtedly did this!
“10.01 seconds!!!”
"Congratulations to Zheng Tianxi! With a time of 10.01 seconds, he won the first place in the third group of the World Championships men's 100m sprint preliminaries and successfully qualified for the men's 100m sprint semi-finals!"
"At the same time, Zheng Tianxi also successfully won the qualification for the men's 100-meter sprint at the Tokyo Olympics next year with a score of 10.01! This is also the first Tokyo Olympic qualifying result for my country's men's 100-meter sprint since the Tokyo Olympic qualifying window opened!!"
"Congratulations to Zheng Tianxi and the Chinese track and field team!"
It should be said that the strength of the captain of the Chinese track and field team is indeed unquestionable. After the result of 10.01 seconds came out, the audience in front of the TV and the track and field fans couldn't help but cheer.
Right! That's how it should be!
Although China's sprinting is indeed still lacking in strength, China's top athletes definitely should not be unable to reach the semi-finals of the World Championships!
Almost in an instant, the topic #Zheng Tianxi advances as first in the preliminary group# suddenly appeared on Weibo and rushed into the top ten hot searches. Just by looking at the speed at which this hot search appeared and soared, you can tell how many people are paying attention to tonight's World Championships men's 100m sprint preliminaries!
At the Chinese players' area, the Chinese team staff cheered enthusiastically when they saw Zheng Tianxi crossing the finish line as the first in the group. Sun Gaoshu also couldn't help but shout "good job".
Zheng Tianxi's advancement to the next round by ranking first in the preliminaries is not only a successful advancement for himself, but also a morale boost for the athletes of the national track and field team.
On the field, after Zheng Tianxi successfully crossed the finish line, he raised his right hand and waved his fist, as if to boost his morale.
But when almost everyone was excited, Pei Dingshan, who was sitting in the Chinese player zone, frowned slightly. In the preliminaries of this group, Zheng Tian
Although Xi successfully advanced to the semi-finals with the first place in the group, at the same time, the fourth place player in the third group of the semi-finals also achieved a score of 10.19.
In other words, after this game, Feng Chuming's ranking among the remaining players has dropped to fourth place, and at this time, there are still three preliminary groups of games left before the end of the preliminaries.
At this stage and with this ranking, Feng Chuming has almost no hope of advancing.
Like Pei Dingshan, Su Yu, who was standing in the backstage passage, also noticed this.
During the competition of the first three groups, although Su Yu did not see the process of the previous competition, he had clearly seen all the rankings of the results of the first three groups of players in the men's 100m preliminaries from his position in the waiting area.
After looking at the results of the third group of preliminaries, Su Yu also frowned slightly.
This result made him feel a little depressed.
Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming were seniors in the national track and field team's sprint group, and also athletes who had left a deep impression on Su Yu. He always knew how much responsibility, pressure, and desire Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming carried.
This season, domestic audiences know that he has been playing a lot of games crazily, but in fact, when it comes to the intensity of training and competition, Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming are no less intense than him.
It was when he met Feng Chuming during the overseas competition that he learned that Feng Chuming had encountered some accidents in his previous training, which resulted in his performance during the season not being particularly outstanding.
It was clearly the golden end of their careers when they were trying their best to challenge higher and better goals. Every day was extremely precious to Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming, but they happened to encounter such difficulties during this period.
Sometimes fate is always so cruel that it makes people particularly annoyed.
But Feng Chuming, who tried his best but still failed, was still signaling "Come on" to him when he just left the stage.
Su Yu suddenly felt that his previous efforts and preparations for the men's 100-meter sprint preliminaries were not enough.
Finally, the applause and cheers from the audience for the third group of preliminaries slowly faded away, and the expectations for the fourth group of preliminaries suddenly rose again.
"Dear audience! Now we have the fourth group of men's 100-meter sprint preliminaries—"
"From lane 2 to lane 9, they are Choi Jae-woo from South Korea, Su Yu from China, Antonio Constantino from Brazil, Thierry Cisse from Cote d'Ivoire, Brandon McLean from the United States, Romario Ferguson from Jamaica, Ippei Suzuki from Japan, and Patrick Johannesson from Norway!"
On the field, the commentator introduced the eight players on the field in a very passionate voice. When introducing Su Yu, he added an extra sentence - Su Yu from the Chinese team is also the youngest player in this World Championships.
In the audience seats, audiences from Qatar and other countries gave Su Yu friendly applause when they heard the commentator's introduction. However, Su Yu, who had already arrived at the stadium, did not pay attention to how the commentator introduced him.
At this moment, he was thinking about how to quickly adjust his state - if, before Feng Chuming failed to advance to the semi-finals, whether he could advance to the semi-finals of the men's 100-meter sprint was just icing on the cake, then now, for Su Yu, advancing to the semi-finals has become a necessity.
The Chinese team needs a second player who can advance to the semi-finals.
Looking at the playing field in front of him, Su Yu also put the noise behind him.
At this time on the track, in the second lane on his left was his old rival in the 200 meters, Choi Jae-woo from the South Korean team.
This is also a dual-event athlete. In this World Championships, Choi Jae-woo successfully qualified for the 200m finals of the World Championships, but in the 100m, no Korean athlete ran under 10.10 seconds. Only Choi Jae-woo represented the Korean team in the earlier qualifying rounds and qualified for the finals.
On the right hand side of Su Yu is Antonio, an athlete from Brazil. As all netizens have learned, this athlete's best result in the 100 meters this season is 10.02 seconds. He and Ippei Suzuki, whose season best result is 10.01 seconds, rank fourth and fifth in this group's season best results respectively.
The three strongest runners in the fifth, sixth and seventh lanes are any one of them who is fully capable of breaking the 10-second barrier for the 100 meters - the reason for this is that these three have broken the 10-second barrier for the 100 meters more than once, just like Thierry Cisse from Côte d'Ivoire, the sprinter known as the 'Light of Côte d'Ivoire', who has broken the 10-second barrier for the 100 meters three times this season, and the time he was in best form he ran a season best of 9.93 seconds.
As for Ippei Suzuki in lane eight, although he suffered a big defeat in the Asian Championships, his season best of 10.01 seconds still demonstrated his strength.
After making the bold statement that he would retire if he could not break the 10-second mark in the 100 meters this season, the World Championships is now Ippei Suzuki's last hope.
From the camera that scanned him at the scene, we can see that this famous athlete from Japan seems to have lost the impetuousness he had during the Asian Championships, and his eyes are now filled with determination.
…
In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, with the appearance of the fourth group of contestants and the introduction of the fourth group of contestants by Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, the audience in the live broadcast room was already quite nervous.
The previous excitement over Zheng Tianxi's successful advancement as the first in the group has not yet faded, and now a new round of tension is rapidly rising.
May I? Can we look forward to it?
After Feng Chuming's failure to advance in the first group of preliminaries, many viewers who watched the preliminaries of a major competition for the first time finally realized the cruelty and reality of competitive sports.
10.21 seconds, a result that could easily win the championship in China, became a result that could not be surpassed even in the semifinals at the World Championships.
Although Zheng Tianxi's victory in the third group of the preliminaries gave the audience a shot of confidence, the shadow of the first group of preliminaries had indeed been left behind for the audience in front of the TV. No one dared to confidently believe that Su Yu would definitely have the strength to enter the semi-finals...
Nervousness, anticipation, desire... and fear.
All these emotions mixed together into a complex expectation.
Come on, you must keep going!
In the end, this complex expectation can only be combined into these two simple words, which are also the simplest hope - when all the players on the field have made their preparations, at the command of "on your marks", all the players squat in front of the starting blocks, just waiting for the starter's final command and the sound of the starting gun...!
"The game is about to begin!"
In the live commentary room of the sports channel, Tian Ruhui's voice was also full of caution.
Everyone was nervously looking forward to the start of this game.
No one is exempt.
***
Plop, plop.
This was no longer the sound of Su Yu's intense heartbeat, but the tension and expectation from thousands of viewers in front of the TV and the Internet.
On the track, Su Yu supported himself with both hands in front of the starting line, one knee touching the ground, his head slightly lowered, staring intently at the 100-meter track in front of him.
In this quiet arena, Su Yu calmly felt his own breathing, and felt every subtle contraction of his body muscles under his precise control...
Then he gently closed his eyes, feeling the breathing rate of his opponents around him at this moment, and even the rustling sound every time they turned their heads.
The originally very quiet stadium became even quieter in Su Yu's world, with only the slightly hot wind floating in the stadium.
Just when everything was getting extremely quiet, the starter on the scene gave a new command -
"preparation!"
As the voice rang out, the audience in the stands and the seats of teams from various countries suddenly became tense.
Here we come!
Then, in the next breath, the starter pulled the trigger of the electronic starting gun in his hand - "bang"!
The starting gun sounds and the race begins! ! !
In the live commentary room of the domestic sports channel, the moment Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming heard the firing of the decree gun, Tian Ruhui's eyes quickly looked in the direction of Su Yu, while Zhou Jiming's eyes immediately looked at the starting reaction time data fed back from the scene.
Among this series of data, Zhou Jiming almost immediately locked onto the string of numbers from the third lane - that was the data from Su Yu's starting reaction time!
“…0.118 seconds!!!”
When Zhou Jiming saw the data readings of Su Yu's reaction time on the third track, he almost jumped up from his seat!
In this preliminary round that made countless people feel conflicted and nervous, in Su Yu's first battle in the World Championships, the world's top sprint event... Su Yu once again refreshed his personal best in the starting reaction time!
Along with Zhou Jiming's report, Tian Ruhui's explanation was clear and powerful, although he was nervous and excited.
"It was a great start! Su Yu relied on his excellent reaction speed, good explosive power and quick start in the kick-off phase to maintain the fifth place in the first 30 meters of the explosive acceleration phase!"
“There is hope!!”
After all, everyone knows that for Su Yu's 100-meter sprint, even though his explosive power is actually quite good for his age, the first 30 meters is still his weakest stage.
For Su Yu, once he can get a good ranking in the early stages, then in his middle and late stages...what awaits him may be a reversal that will be enough to make the audience exclaim!
At this moment on the track, it was obvious that Su Yu had already performed at his best in the first 100 meters of this race!
In the audience, the track and field fans who had traveled thousands of miles from China to Doha, Qatar to watch the race had already torn their throats, and were shouting heartbreakingly in the direction of Su Yu on the field -
“Ahhhhh, come on, come on!!”
"Yudi charge!!!"
Han Yiqing and Guo Debiao, 400-meter sprint enthusiasts, were also extremely nervous as they watched Su Yu's 100-meter preliminaries on the field.
As those watching the game on site, they could feel more clearly the silent pain that Feng Chuming was feeling during the first group of preliminaries, and they could also feel the firm belief that Su Yu had been carrying since the moment he appeared on the stage.
Even without Su Yu saying it himself, they understood the state that Su Yu presented on the court. For everything they felt before their eyes, they could not do more, and could only try harder and work harder at this moment to give Su Yu on the court the loudest cheers from the motherland!
"Su Yu!!! Come on, go for him!!!"
***
On the track, at this moment Su Yu could no longer hear any other sounds around him. His eyes were focused on the finish line in front of him. No matter how strong the opponents around him were, his only goal was to the front of this straight track!
Thump, thump, that's the sound of his heart beating.
Plop, plop, it was also the strongest echo of his inner desire at this moment...!
In the Chinese contestant area, Sun Gaoshu and his teammates could not wait to stand up from their seats as soon as the starting gun sounded.
At this extremely tense and exciting moment, how could they concentrate on sitting calmly in their seats?
Sun Gaoshu's eyes were fixed on Su Yu on the field, and his heart seemed to be held in the hand of Su Yu on the field. His heart was contracting so violently that it seemed like it would burst in his chest in the next second...!
Come on, come on!
In this extremely tense moment, Sun Gaoshu was the first to discover the situation from the sixth path out of the corner of his eye...!
The players in lanes five, six, and seven seemed to be moving forward together at the front. Thierry from Cote d'Ivoire in lane five and Romario from Jamaica in lane seven still maintained their absolute lead at the front. However, the performance of Brandon McLean from the United States in lane six was not as good as everyone had initially expected.
In other words, Brandon McLean's performance was not entirely useless, but he was obviously a little distracted during the reaction phase of the start. After this distraction, perhaps in order to make up for his lag in the reaction phase of the start, he was too impatient during the explosive acceleration at the start, resulting in a slight shaking of his body.
Actually, this was not a big mistake. Brandon's explosiveness and subsequent adjustments were good, but unfortunately, even so, his mistake still made him fall out of the first tier of this game.
On the playing field, when someone falls behind, someone else will take the opportunity to catch up.
In lane eight, Ippei Suzuki from Japan successfully seized his chance in this game without making any serious mistakes.
For Ippei Suzuki, he hoped that he could directly qualify as one of the top three in this group of competitions. When he noticed Brandon's mistake in the sixth lane out of the corner of his eye, Ippei Suzuki felt that this was a great opportunity for him!
Can't miss it!
On the field, Ippei Suzuki in the eighth lane used up almost all of his strength. Every step he took on the ground was solid and powerful. Even though his heart was filled with desire and restlessness for victory and advancement, he still tried hard to maintain his own rhythm.
The countless failures in the past have brought him more experience in the game and made him more stable and solid on the court.
In the fourth lane, Antonio from Brazil also performed well, but as the race progressed, Antonio was gradually feeling the threat from the player in the third lane to his left.
It is an instinctive tension and urgency towards danger and threats.
Antonio, who was originally running at the same pace as Suzuki Ippei, suddenly accelerated further at the 60-meter stage, as if he was trying to get rid of someone who was making him feel anxious and fearful.
However, as the race gradually approached the final sprint stage, Antonio felt that he seemed to be completely unable to suppress the young Chinese player in the third lane on his left...!
How is that possible? !
This was the most immediate thought that came to Antonio’s mind at first – isn’t this young player from the Chinese team a 16-year-old who is barely old enough to participate in the World Championships? !
If he remembered correctly, the best result of this young Chinese player so far was only 10.06 seconds...
Oh, yes, at the warm-up venue just now, he also heard that the average score of this young player of the Chinese team in various competitions from June to August was only between 10.15 and 10.30 seconds...
Because of the pressure from Su Yu, Antonio's mind was in a mess. He could only grit his teeth and try his best to sprint towards the finish line in front of him, not allowing himself to be overly affected by the rhythm of the young player of the Chinese team.
It's not that he doesn't want to suppress the speed of this young Chinese player... it's really...
Antonio couldn't understand why this young player of the Chinese team could burst out with such terrifying energy in the final stage? !
At the scene, the official commentator burst into a passionate high note at eight times the speed from the moment Su Yu started to accelerate in the latter part of the race——
"The young Chinese player Su Yu on the third lane!"
"He's speeding up!!"
"He has easily surpassed Braden in lane five and returned to fifth place!"
At the beginning of the race, Su Yu was in fifth place, but as Brandon readjusted his rhythm, he relied on his strong explosive power and speed to catch up to fourth place.
It’s just that Brandon’s ability in the latter stages is average, and he missed his most advantageous period of explosiveness in the early stages, which caused him to be gradually overtaken by his opponents in the latter stages.
And when Brandon was gradually overtaken by his opponent, Su Yu's explosive power in the later stage was activated, and he gradually overtook others...!
In the Chinese player zone seat at the scene, Sun Gaoshu and others witnessed with their own eyes Su Yu's position rising from sixth to fifth, and then to fourth, surpassing Antonio...!
“The last 30 meters!!!”
"Su Yu has reached the fourth place!!"
“Just one more person…!”
In the live commentary room of the sports channel, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming could no longer contain the excitement in their voices when they saw Su Yu surpass Antonio in the last forty meters and was almost in the same position as Suzuki Ippei in the eighth lane.
"Su Yu!! Su Yu!!!"
Not only them, but also the track and field fans in the Jigu video live broadcast room and all the viewers in front of the TV have their heartbeats reaching the most intense moment!
Even before this match started, everyone had hoped that Su Yu would have a chance to successfully qualify for the men's 100-meter sprint semi-finals in this match... But at that time, everyone only thought that Su Yu could get fourth or fifth place in the group in this preliminaries, and successfully compete for a place in the semi-finals by virtue of the qualification for the substitute promotion...
But now...!
Now Su Yu on the field is striving to qualify directly for the third place in the group!
May I?
Can it succeed? !
The famous Japanese player Ippei Suzuki in the eighth lane obviously also sensed the threat from Su Yu. If you observe from the camera footage at the scene, you can see the bulging veins on Suzuki Ippei's neck. It is obvious that this famous Japanese player is also sprinting with all his might...!
But on the third path, the impact from Su Yu was still unstoppable!
Just as Su Yu has always been aggressive in the later stages, with his previous speed and the speed and strength accumulated during the running process, when he reached the late stage of the 100 meters, his speed truly reached his explosive comfort zone!
The last 30 meters!
The last 20 meters!
The last 10 meters! ! !
In the last 10 meters, everyone at the scene and in front of the TV could clearly see that Suzuki Ippei was completely unable to withstand the speed attack from Su Yu in the back end! !
“Beyond!!!”
At this moment, Tian Ruhui's voice had become hoarse with excitement. He was even so excited that he wanted to slam the table. His tense emotions completely exploded at this moment. He then watched on the live screen as Su Yu successfully used his half-body advantage over Suzuki Ippei to win the last spot in the fourth group of the World Championships men's 100m sprint preliminaries and directly qualify! ! !
"Congratulations Su Yu!!!"
"Dear audience, our young player Su Yu successfully crossed the finish line in this preliminary round, ranking third in the group!"
"Let us congratulate him for successfully obtaining the last direct qualification in the preliminary group! At the same time, congratulations to the Chinese team for having two players successfully advance to the semi-finals!"
At the moment when Tian Ruhui and his team, as well as the Chinese team staff and track and field fans were extremely excited, the electronic screen at the scene flashed with the final result of the game:
First place: Thierry Cisse (Ivory Coast), 9.99 seconds (wind speed 0.5m/s), Q (direct qualification);
Second place: Romario Ferguson (Jamaica), 10.01 seconds (wind speed 0.5m/s), Q;
Third place: Su Yu (China), 10.05 seconds (wind speed 0.5m/s), WU18B, Q;
Fourth place: Ippei Suzuki (Japan) 10.07 seconds…
…
In the Chinese contestant area seats at the scene, the originally enthusiastic cheers paused briefly for a second, and then broke out into even more enthusiastic screams in the next second!
In the live commentary room of the sports channel, Tian Ruhui's voice became even more excited and high-pitched at this moment -
"Congratulations! Congratulations to Su Yu! And congratulations to the Chinese team!!"
"In just 5 minutes, two athletes from the Chinese team, Zheng Tianxi and Su Yu, have successively won the Olympic qualification for the men's 100-meter sprint at the Tokyo Olympics!"
“Let’s congratulate them together!!!”
"Congratulations!!!"
