Chapter 185
On July 30th, the 7th day of the Olympic schedule and the first day of the Tokyo Olympic track and field schedule will finally officially begin!
In this Tokyo Olympics, although Japan, as the host country, always has some unexpected problems, the overall performance of the Chinese team's players has not been greatly affected by the Japanese side. Even in an environment of relatively poor quality, the Chinese team's players still performed stably and outstandingly!
As of the end of the competition on July 29, the Chinese team had won a total of 15 gold medals in a series of events including shooting, weightlifting, fencing, diving, rowing, etc., and is currently ranking first in both the gold medal table and the medal table.
However, although the domestic media and audiences are excited about the current performance of the Chinese team, they have also anticipated the impact on the medal table that the Chinese team will face from other teams.
The reason is simple: the track and field competition is about to begin.
The track and field schedule for the Tokyo Olympics will have a total of 10 competition days, during which 48 individual gold medals and other medals will be awarded.
As one of the world's top track and field powers, the United States' advantage in track and field events is unquestionable.
According to domestic media estimates, when the track and field schedule is over, the US team is likely to win 8-10 gold medals. If all the gold, silver and bronze medals are included, the US team is likely to win 25 to 30 medals after the ten days of track and field competition.
The Chinese team has limited opportunities to win gold medals in track and field events. Including the three different medals of gold, silver and bronze, the total number of medals that the Chinese team is expected to win is probably only a fraction of that of the American team.
In this case, after the track and field competition is over, the medal table positions between the Chinese team and the American team may change.
The hottest topics on the Internet these days are those related to the Olympics. Therefore, as these media's analysis of the medal table format was posted online, a large number of viewers who had never paid attention to sports events in the past began to become worried.
Especially as the track and field competition schedule approaches, the audience is becoming more and more nervous about the track and field competition that is about to begin.
But no matter how nervous the audience is, time will not change because of their nervousness.
Finally, on July 30, the first track and field competition day of the Tokyo Olympics arrived as scheduled.
On this morning, events including the women's 100m qualifying round (not the main competition), preliminaries, women's 800m group competition, men's high jump qualifying round, men's discus qualifying round, 400m hurdles group competition and others were held one by one at the Olympic main stadium in Tokyo, Japan.
In Su Yu's small group, before the official schedule was released, no one had ever thought that the first person in the group to enter the Olympic arena would not be Su Yu but Jiang Yuan.
On the morning of July 30, as the men's 100m preliminaries were scheduled for the second competition day, Su Yu had the rare opportunity to go to the scene with his teammates to watch Jiang Yuan's men's high jump qualifying competition after the competition started.
Similar to the previous World Championships, since the men's high jump qualifying competition is divided into only two groups, A and B, there will always be two athletes from fully-capacitated countries and teams who will meet each other.
This time, Sun Yuhang is in the same group with his old partner Zhang Xujian. The two of them will appear in Group B. Before they appear, Jiang Yuan will fight alone in Group A.
In the qualifying group A, there are a total of 15 opponents with Jiang Yuan, and they will compete together for the final qualification of this group. There are two ways to qualify for the final from the high jump qualifying round, either to directly qualify by jumping over 2.30 meters, or to be ranked in the top 12 of groups A and B.
Based on the experience of last year's World Championships, the lowest score of the top 12 in the overall ranking will also be at a height of 2.28 meters.
In the qualifying round, Jiang Yuan met many old opponents from previous World Championships without surprise.
These include Russian athletes who compete in the Olympics as independent athletes, as well as famous athletes from Qatar, the United States, Canada and other countries.
Of course, Japanese players such as Matsumoto Takashi and Sasaki Kenta are also present. These players are old acquaintances and they are aware of each other's strength. No one will be relaxed towards their opponents.
The men's high jump qualifying competition officially kicked off in such an atmosphere.
In addition to the men's high jump event, the rest of the events were also very exciting. What first aroused the excitement among the Chinese athletes was the women's 800m preliminaries. The Chinese team's female athletes finished third in the group and successfully qualified for the semi-finals!
For the Chinese team, which is seriously lacking in talent in middle and long-distance running events, this qualification for the women's 800m semi-finals is exciting enough.
If we must make an analogy, China's current 800-meter middle-distance running results are not much different from its previous 400-meter results.
Taking the men's 800 meters as an example, as of now, China's national record for the men's 800 meters middle distance is 1 minute 46.32 seconds, and the 800 meter record in Asia, even the Asian men's 800 meter youth (U20) record, has reached 1 minute 44.02 seconds, and the Asian men's 800 meter record has already reached 1 minute 42.79 seconds.
It can be said that there is a huge and difficult-to-bridge gap between the Chinese men's 800m record and the Asian men's 800m record.
1 minute 46.32 seconds is already China's men's 800-meter record. If we look at the level of ordinary athletes, taking last season as an example, the best Chinese 800-meter runner ran 1 minute 47.71 seconds, and the second-place runner of the season, who was below him, only ran 1 minute 49.11 seconds.
By the way, the qualifying time for the men's 800m at the Tokyo Olympics is 1 minute 45.20 seconds - even if a domestic male 800m athlete runs a result equivalent to the Chinese men's 800m record, there is still more than one second away from the Olympic qualifying time.
Although the situation of the domestic women's 800 meters is slightly better than that of the men's 800 meters, it is still quite difficult overall. With the general results of domestic female athletes outside 2 minutes and 5 seconds, and the women's Tokyo Olympic qualifying score being 1 minute 59.50 seconds, the only female player from the Chinese team has relied on her own strength to run into the Tokyo Olympic qualifying range, and even won the qualification for the semi-finals in this morning's preliminaries!
Once you understand the difficult background behind this, you will be able to better understand the excitement and excitement of the coaches and staff of the national teams in the Chinese player zone.
Su Yu rarely has the opportunity to sit in the audience and watch the game so directly. At this moment, listening to the excitement and cheers of the staff and coaches around him, he was also waving the national flag in his hand, and feeling happy for his teammates on the field.
Because the game day has not yet arrived, Zhan Youming also went to the scene with Su Yu to watch the game today.
He asked Su Yu with a smile: "How was it? How did it feel to watch the game live?"
Su Yu looked at his teammates cheering excitedly on the field and blinked: "...I want to play even more."
Because he arrived in Tokyo early and lacked training, and faced a less-than-ideal living environment in the Olympic Village, Su Yu's physical condition was not affected, but his emotions did fluctuate to some extent.
Generally speaking, for players like Su Yu who are about to participate in the competition, the coach does not recommend them to watch the game on site before the game starts - because the atmosphere on site may affect the players' competitive state.
However, during the training and communication in the past few days, Pei Dingshan noticed that Su Yu's condition seemed to have declined a bit, so after the mobilization meeting last night, he suggested that Su Yu could come and watch the game this morning.
When Pei Dingshan made this suggestion to Su Yu, Zhan Youming happened to be nearby. After hearing Pei Dingshan's suggestion, he said that he also wanted to come and take a look, so today he naturally sat next to Su Yu.
After hearing Su Yu's answer, Zhan Youming smiled and said, "Really? What a coincidence, I am the same."
Mature players like Zhan Youming naturally have a better grasp of their own condition than ordinary people, but sometimes they may not be able to clearly feel some of their minor problems at the first time.
The night before, when Pei Dingshan reminded Su Yu, he realized that something was not right with his condition, so he followed Su Yu to watch this morning's game.
After the women's 800m race was over, feeling the cheers from the crowd, Zhan Youming felt that his energy was almost replenished.
Zhan Youming thought to himself that Su Yu's coach was indeed something. At the same time, he was wondering if Pei Dingshan knew that he was around last night, so he reminded two people at once?
After thinking for a while and not being able to come up with any effective answer, Zhan Youming watched the game on the field continue, and quickly patted Su Yu on the shoulder: "Let's go."
Su Yu was stunned for a moment: "...The game is not over yet?"
Zhan Youming looked at him with a smile: "No way, Su Xiaoyu, do you still want to see the end? Our current state is just right. If we continue to watch it, it will not have any benefits to our state adjustment, but will only over-consume your excitement."
"Let's go. If there's any game you want to watch, wait until your schedule is over."
After Zhan Youming's reminder, Su Yu realized what he meant, so he nodded, turned around to look at the direction of the men's high jump qualifying competition, then stood up and left with Zhan Youming.
They left at 11:05, and when the whole audience's attention was attracted by the women's 800m preliminaries, the ranking of the men's high jump Group A qualifying round was basically determined. Although Jiang Yuan's performance in the morning preliminaries was not as ideal as in the preliminaries of the World Championships, after two consecutive failed attempts, he still successfully seized the opportunity of the third attempt and jumped over the 2.28-meter high bar, basically securing his qualification for the men's high jump final.
When Su Yu and Zhan Youming got on the Chinese team's bus back to the Olympic Village, Jiang Yuan had already come down from the stadium. At this moment, Su Yu and his friends were chatting enthusiastically in their group about Jiang Yuan's competition, including the previous 800m and women's 100m events.
Zhou Yuang: [@Suyu, Suxiaoyu! ! This morning, all the big guys who should have advanced have already advanced! It’s up to you in the group now! 】
Su Yu: [0.0]
Su Yu: [Xiao Yu's struggle gif]
Ye Minghao: [@Su Yu, how is it? Did you gain anything from watching the game in the morning? 】
Everyone in the group knew that Su Yu was arranged by Pei Dingshan to watch the game this morning, so they were all concerned about Su Yu's viewing experience in the morning.
Seeing everyone’s attention, Su Yu sent an OK expression in the group.
Jiang Ruohui: [It’s good to have some gains. Are you still watching the game now or waiting for Yuanzi to come back? 】
Su Yu: [Well, I’m already on my way back]
Zhou Yuang: [? 】
Zhou Yuang: [It’s rare to see the live show. Su Xiaoyu, why didn’t you come back without watching the game this morning? ? 】
Su Yu: [0.0 It was Brother Youming who reminded me. 】
Zhou Yuang looked confused: [Remind you of what? ? 】
Su Yu thought about it and silently typed on his phone: […Probably to prevent the 'quota' from being used up in one game in tomorrow's preliminaries. 】
Zhou Yuang: [? 】
Zhou Yuang: [Pfft. 】
After just a brief hesitation, Zhou Yuang quickly understood what Su Yu meant. After all, he still remembered vividly how Su Yu had exhausted his "competition quota" for May and June in a single match at the World Athletics Challenge in Osaka, Japan not long ago.
After seeing Su Yu’s answer, there was another burst of joy in the group.
With all the laughter and joy in the group, the events on the first race day of July 30th soon came to an end.
That afternoon, Su Yu returned to the Olympic Village with the thunderous cheers and shouts of encouragement from the competition venue still echoing in his mind. The noisy atmosphere of the stadium made him involuntarily excited.
When the night fell that day, Su Yu, who was about to fall asleep, couldn't help but think again and again about the grand arena belonging to the Olympic Games.
That night, with anticipation for the next day's schedule, Su Yu tossed and turned for 30 minutes before finally falling asleep. In another compartment, after receiving the sleep status on Su Yu's watch, Pei Dingshan rubbed his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, then closed his eyes and fell asleep on the cardboard bed in the Olympic Village.
***
The next day, July 31st, is the second day of the Tokyo Olympic track and field schedule!
For many track and field enthusiasts and bystanders, the Olympic track and field schedule has only officially started today.
Although the Chinese team had achieved good results in the competition the day before, there is no doubt that today's men's 100m preliminaries, facing the qualifying battle of Chinese men's 100m runners Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming and Su Yu, attracted much more attention from domestic public opinion than yesterday's event.
In fact, it can be seen from the organizer's schedule that the organizer also attaches great importance to the men's 100-meter race starting today.
Just like today's men's 100-meter sprint preliminaries (group matches), it was not scheduled in the relatively less-watched morning session, but was scheduled in today's evening session.
In other words, Su Yu's first appearance today will be in the men's 100m preliminaries at 7:15 tonight Japan time, which is 6:15 pm local time.
***
Domestic, 11:30 a.m.
Although the popular events such as the men's 100m preliminaries and the women's 100m semifinals and finals have not yet started, domestic discussions on tonight's games have already begun.
Especially as the competition approaches, long before the start of the Olympics, Su Yu's crazy schedule of participating in three individual events and one team event at the Olympics was once again dug up, and a topic called #苏羽疯狂東奥赛程# appeared on Weibo.
In this topic, you can see that the original schedule is a screenshot of the discussion on the Track and Field Kingdom forum.
(Screenshot content) Subject: [Does anyone know Tao Yitao Su Yu’s schedule? 】
Topic content: [During last season's World Championships, Su Yu's schedule was already crazy. Does this Tokyo Olympics look even crazier? The main thing is that even if we don’t count the 4*100m relay, Su Yu’s schedule is more intensive. 】
1F: [Yes, in last year's Doha World Championships, although Su Yu also participated in three individual events at the same time, the schedule in Doha was more open, with the same ten competition days. The men's 100m preliminaries were completed on the first day, the 100m semifinals and finals on the second day, the 200m group matches on the third day, the 400m qualifiers and 200m semifinals on the fourth day, the 400m group matches on the fifth day, and the 400m semifinals on the sixth day.
Although there are many events, except for the overlap of two events on the fourth day, the rest of the schedule is relatively comfortable.
But this time the Tokyo Olympics schedule is different...】
5th floor: [Yes, after taking a look at the Tokyo Olympics schedule, I was stunned. What kind of crazy schedule is this...]
8th floor: [No events on the first day, 100m group matches on the second day, 400m group matches and 100m semi-finals and finals on the third day, 400m semi-finals on the fourth day, 200m group matches + semi-finals on the fifth day...
Wow, the World Championships had a 6-day schedule, but the Tokyo Olympics was shortened to 4 days? !
This intensity is directly doubled? ! 】
Floor 12: [This is just a single event. There will be 4*100m preliminaries and finals starting on the seventh day...]
…
This is all the content that was screenshotted and posted on Weibo. But even with just this much, it was enough to shock the onlookers on Weibo.
After all, although people watch fewer games, they are not stupid!
Just looking at yesterday's women's competition, you can tell that even if it's just a 100-meter sprint, the physical energy consumption of the athletes is enormous when they sprint at full speed.
Athletes usually have to exhaust themselves when competing in a single event, but Su Yu is going to compete in three individual events and one team event, a total of four events!
Previously, regarding the popular science and difficulty of Su Yu's schedule, many people on the Internet have used Su Yu's schedule when he participated in the World Championships last year as an example. During this period, the popular science video that used Su Yu's World Championships schedule to prove Su Yu's "model worker level" has already spread all over the Internet.
As a result, the competition is about to start today, and this screenshot of the post from the Track and Field Kingdom has given a new shock to the spectators waiting to watch the game.
——Last year’s World Championships schedule was already so burdensome, but this year’s Tokyo Olympics schedule is even more inhumane than last year’s? !
——Who made this schedule? It's just to highlight that working yourself to death is not a life-saving act, right?
Those online viewers who had not yet started watching the game were stunned by Su Yu's schedule for the next few days before the game began.
I don’t know if it’s out of curiosity or something, but as the topic of Su Yu’s schedule rushed to the front of the hot searches, the sports channel and Jigu Video, which cooperated with the sports channel to broadcast the Tokyo Olympics, saw the number of viewers who made reservations to watch the sprint races in the next few days increase rapidly.
Many viewers who had originally planned to just go and join in the fun 'if they remembered', now made reservations out of curiosity.
From the background of Jigu Video, we can see that the number of audience reservations is the highest, especially on the last three days of the four days when the schedule burden is obviously the heaviest.
_(:зゝ∠)_The nature of the spectators who just want to watch the fun has been fully exposed.
Of course, there are many people on the Internet who are shocked and surprised by this schedule, but there are also many people who think that "this is no big deal".
The central idea of these nitpickers is – just count the race schedule, and you know that Su Yu will definitely advance to the semi-finals and finals in the 100m race? Of course the schedule seems very tight if we include the schedule of matches that haven’t been released yet!
——That’s right, with this schedule, if Su Yu fails to advance to the semifinals in the 100m preliminaries, there will be no conflict with the 400m preliminaries the next day! If you don’t qualify in the 400m preliminaries, you will have one day of rest on the third day, and the 200m race will be on the fourth day! If we all fail in the preliminaries, there will only be three preliminaries in four days. What's the big deal with this intensity?
The onlookers: ...?
It is said that there are always all kinds of weird people in this world. Even the spectators who are keen on eating all kinds of gossips rarely see such weird people.
[…No, people predict Su Yu's schedule based on how Su Yu advanced in last year's World Championships. If you were to say so, if I predict that Su Yu will advance to the finals in all three events, then wouldn't Su Yu's schedule be even more devilish? Then why don't you believe my version of the schedule, but have to follow your useless version? 】
[I ordered for the friend above. In addition, even if we don’t rank them according to Su Yu’s qualification in the World Championships last season, but my weird friend, your statement does not mean that you don’t hope for the Chinese team to do well at all? ? 】
These argumentative people probably didn't expect that such argumentative remarks would attract so many people's attention.
In the end, whether out of guilt or something, these people left a message saying "I'm just telling the truth" and then disappeared without a trace.
The spectators were too lazy to pay attention to these funny and weird people. After all, the 100-meter race was about to start tonight, and Su Yu's performance at that time would naturally teach them a lesson.
***
Finally, as everyone was looking forward to it, time passed by little by little and it was 7 o'clock in the evening Japan time.
At this time, in the domestic Jigu Video's 24-hour Olympic live broadcast room, the live broadcast channel of the men's 100-meter sprint in track and field events began to quickly attract viewers.
Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room, commentators Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were already passionately introducing the men's 100-meter sprint group stage that was about to begin - after all, tonight's match was the first time in Chinese history that all athletes had qualified for the full competition by passing the 'Olympic qualifying scores'.
"This is the first time in the history of Chinese track and field that three athletes, Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming and Su Yu, have simultaneously qualified for the men's 100-meter sprint at the Olympics!"
"Yes." Zhou Jiming said with emotion: "In this Tokyo Olympic Games qualification, the Chinese team has created many 'first miracles', such as the first time that three athletes qualified for the men's 100-meter sprint, the first time that a full field competed in the men's 200-meter sprint, and the first time that an athlete qualified for the men's 400-meter sprint!"
Zhou Jiming and Tian Ruhui could not help but feel deeply moved as they counted the miracles created by the sprint group of the national track and field team over the past year or so.
Of course, while expressing their feelings, the two of them did not forget to introduce the order in which the next three Chinese men's 100-meter sprinters Su Yu, Feng Chuming and Zheng Tianxi would appear.
"In the men's 100-meter sprint preliminaries that are about to begin, our athletes Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming and Su Yu will appear in the second, third and fourth groups of the preliminaries respectively!"
"Let us look forward to their performance in the upcoming preliminaries!"
***
At the same time, at the Tokyo Olympic Stadium
Su Yu, who had finished warming up in the backcourt, had already come to the players' waiting passage with Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming.
In this Tokyo Olympics grouping, the three of them happened to be divided into groups two, three and four and appeared on stage in order. Here, the on-site staff had separated the players from each group according to the grouping situation and arranged them in different waiting locations.
Among the three of Su Yu, Zheng Tianxi, who was going to be the first to appear on stage, was already standing in the waiting passage, waiting for the staff's instructions to appear.
Feng Chuming and Su Yu in the third and fourth groups were also ready. When Zheng Tianxi in the second group was about to go on stage, he deliberately looked back in the direction of Su Yu and Feng Chuming. After waving to the two, Zheng Tianxi took a deep breath and turned around to follow his opponents in the same group into the arena through the entrance passage.
As the second group of preliminaries came on stage, the on-site staff quickly began to guide the third group of preliminaries to the waiting area to wait.
Su Yu, who was in the fourth group, noticed that Feng Chuming in the third group had a serious expression on his face, perhaps because he was a little nervous.
But Feng Chuming didn't say much to Su Yu, and even waved in Su Yu's direction. It was obvious that he didn't want to spread his nervousness, so he didn't want Su Yu to notice his tenseness.
After noticing Feng Chuming's nervousness, Su Yu frowned and wanted to stand up and say something to Feng Chuming, but the staff on the scene asked the waiting contestants not to walk around or change positions at will.
Under the attention of the staff, Su Yu pursed his lips and did not walk towards Feng Chuming.
He knew that Feng Chuming's current condition was probably due to the psychological trauma left by last season's World Championships.
Last season, Feng Chuming failed to perform at his best in the preliminaries of the World Championships and unfortunately missed the chance to advance to the semifinals. At the same time, a chain reaction occurred in that game, causing Zheng Tianxi, who was ranked second, to go all out in the preliminaries, which affected his condition in the semifinals and ultimately failed to advance to the finals.
This time, although Zheng Tianxi was the first among the three to appear, Feng Chuming was obviously under tremendous pressure as he faced the last Olympic 100-meter battle of his career.
He hopes that he can perform better in today's competition... and not leave any regrets or remorse in his last Olympic appearance in his career.
With this mentality, the pressure on Feng Chuming may be even greater than in last season's World Championships preliminaries.
Su Yu looked at Feng Chuming's back and wanted to say something to Feng Chuming, but he was also afraid that it would affect Feng Chuming's condition.
At this point in the competition, neither the coach nor the teammates can provide any help to the players. The only ones who can help themselves are themselves.
As the first and second groups of matches on the field ended one after another, the attention and pressure of the atmosphere in the waiting corridor among the groups of players waiting to go on stage began to become increasingly greater.
On the field, Zheng Tianxi, who appeared in the second group, won the second place in the group with a score of 10.03 without any doubt and obtained direct qualification!
After Zheng Tianxi successfully advanced, the staff began to guide the players from the third group of preliminaries to the stage. Before Feng Chuming went on stage, he also waved in the direction of Su Yu.
Somehow, Feng Chuming's back made Su Yu subconsciously think of Zheng Tianxi, who was the second to appear among the three last season. At that time, Zheng Tianxi also waved his hand in the same way, and seemed to walk towards the direction of the stadium with some firm belief.
Although Feng Chuming did not turn around or speak, Su Yu seemed to understand the meaning of Feng Chuming's wave - from now on, it's up to you.
At this moment, this thought made Su Yu's heart beat violently, and then he watched Feng Chuming's back getting farther and farther away as he walked towards the scene.
***
In China, in the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming had just finished excitedly introducing Zheng Tianxi's achievements.
"It can be seen that Zheng Tianxi was in a very good state today! 10.03 seconds! A very good result and state in the preliminary round. I hope that in tomorrow's semi-finals, Zheng Tianxi can also continue this excellent state and rush into the finals in one fell swoop!"
After passionately recounting these contents, the two also saw Feng Chuming who had already appeared on the field.
"Here we go! The third group of the men's 100-meter sprint preliminaries!"
"Our country's contestant Feng Chuming is among the contestants in the third group of the preliminaries!"
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming looked at Feng Chuming who had already appeared on the stage, and began to introduce Feng Chuming's personal achievements so far: "Feng Chuming is currently one of the only two athletes in our country who have successfully broken the 10-second mark for the 100 meters! His personal best in the 100 meters is 9.99! In the 2019 season, although he has not been able to conquer the 10-second mark for the time being, his personal best this season has reached 10.01 seconds!"
"As long as Feng Chuming can perform at his best, I believe he will have a chance to advance to the semi-finals in today's match!"
…
While the domestic Jigu Video was broadcasting live, at this time in the stadium, with the equally passionate introduction of the on-site commentator, the 8 players in the third group of preliminaries were already ready to start the race on their respective tracks.
Among the eight runners on the track, Feng Chuming of the Chinese team was in the third lane. His position was not very good, but it could be seen that Feng Chuming's eyes were focused only on the direction of the 100-meter finish line ahead, and all his attention was on the field.
Soon, accompanied by the official starter's command of "on your marks", the eight athletes quickly came to their starting lines, supported themselves with their hands on the ground behind the starting lines, and quickly squatted on their respective starting blocks.
——Everyone take your positions.
--preparation!
The official starter on the scene gave the command very quickly, and the 8 contestants on the field had naturally made their own preparations. When the official starter shouted the command "Ready", everyone quickly supported themselves with their hands on the ground, raised their hips, and leaned their body center of gravity slightly forward...
Then.
"Bang!!"
The starting gun sounds! The competition officially begins! ! !
In the domestic Jigu video live broadcast room, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming shouted loudly the moment they heard the starting gunshot -
"The game begins!!"
The already heated atmosphere in the arena instantly exploded after the starting gun sounded!
In the audience seats, the audience began to scream and cheer for the players on the field.
"Come on, come on!!! Come on Feng Chuming!!"
This time, the Tokyo Olympics in Japan attracted a large number of ordinary tourists and track and field fans from China to watch the games, especially the 100-meter sprint, which attracted a huge number of tourists and track and field fans.
Even though it was an away game in Japan, there were quite a lot of Chinese spectators at the scene. At this time, these spectators were watching Feng Chuming's game and screaming and cheering for him loudly.
In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, Zhou Jiming's heart subconsciously skipped a beat when he saw Feng Chuming's reaction time at the start - 0.161 seconds, which was not a very good reaction time.
He was a little worried about Feng Chuming's situation on the field, but next to him, Tian Ruhui was very excited at this moment -
"Feng Chuming's reaction at the start was not fast enough, but his forward burst and overall acceleration were excellent!!"
"Come on!!! Come on Feng Chuming!!!"
Just as Tian Ruhui said and Zhou Jiming saw, in today's preliminary round, Feng Chuming's reaction speed at the start was not excellent. However, Feng Chuming on the field seemed to be aware of this problem. Immediately after the start, his burst of power and overall acceleration were almost unprecedented...!
Through the live camera on the scene, we can see that on the 100-meter track, Feng Chuming's expression looks particularly stubborn and determined. Every swing of his arms and every push of his running seems to consume all his enthusiasm and strength.
Even Sun Gaoshu, who was sitting in the Chinese player zone, was surprised after seeing Feng Chuming's outburst and acceleration - this was definitely a state that Feng Chuming had never shown in previous competitions!
"Feng Chuming...Feng Chuming!!!"
Sun Gaoshu in the audience was also shouting excitedly in the direction of Feng Chuming on the field!
In this game, everyone could see that Feng Chuming did not have much advantage in starting reaction. Even many people in the national team thought that Feng Chuming might fall again in the preliminary round.
But no.
He didn’t fall down…!
With his relatively poor reaction at the start, Feng Chuming was clearly half a body length behind his opponent in the first three steps of the start. However, he relied on his subsequent full-strength burst and crazy acceleration to keep up with his opponent!
From the fifth place in the reaction phase and the first three steps of the race, he relied on his crazy burst and acceleration to keep up with his opponent, gradually catching up with his opponent in the mid-run phase, and then overtook him to the fourth place...
“Third place!!!”
In the last 20 meters, Feng Chuming once again surpassed the Italian player who was originally in third place, and squeezed into the final qualifying zone in the last 20 meters!
But the Italian player in the fifth lane was also unwilling to give up the opportunity to advance to the semi-finals...!
In the last 20 meters, Feng Chuming and the Italian athlete were both trying their best to rush forward at their fastest speed, and each of them made their own line-crossing moves before crossing the finish line!
The final sprint and struggle!
At this moment, all the spectators at the scene cheered for such a wonderful and exciting performance on the field.
In the Chinese contestant zone, everyone's heart tightened when they saw Feng Chuming and the Italian contestant in lane 5 crossing the finish line together.
Who is it? !
Who was the person who finally managed to keep his place in the next round? !
