Chapter 193
When Su Yu, Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming and others returned to the Chinese team's locker room in the backcourt, there was a warm applause in the locker room, followed by Sun Gaoshu's voice.
"You're back? Hurry up, the liquid nitrogen cryotherapy chamber is ready. Hurry up."
Just after the last 100-meter semi-final, Sun Gaoshu ran all the way back to the backcourt locker room. Because he was in a hurry, he arrived much faster than Zheng Tianxi and the others.
After hearing what Sun Gaoshu said, Zheng Tianxi was about to let Su Yu enter the cryotherapy chamber first, but before he could say anything, Su Yu said to him, "Captain Zheng, you go first."
Zheng Tianxi frowned, trying to persuade Su Yu a little, but he shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll go first."
The overall time taken for liquid nitrogen cryotherapy is actually very short. After all, the temperature is more than 100 degrees below zero. Even with cryotherapy, it is impossible to lock the athletes in the machine for too long, so it is meaningless for the two to make arguments here.
I just went for cold therapy first, and after I came out to relax and adjust, the massage team also started massage and relaxation first, so the subsequent relaxation adjustments would have a slight impact.
The reason why Zheng Tianxi did not refuse to start relaxing first was mainly because he quickly realized that more responsibilities in the upcoming finals were still on him.
If we allow Su Yu to relax and adjust first, and give priority to Su Yu before the final, who will be responsible for the final result?
Although most people may not think of this, Zheng Tianxi has been in the national team for more than ten years and has learned to think more about the twists and turns behind it.
So he walked straight into the lounge where the liquid nitrogen cryotherapy chamber was located, took off his competition suit, and indicated that he was ready to start at any time.
There was nothing special about the following process. Zheng Tianxi, Su Yu and Feng Chuming entered the liquid nitrogen cryotherapy chamber one after another for muscle relaxation and recovery, and then the massage physicians from the national team's massage group performed muscle relaxation and adjustment.
After Sun Gaoshu returned to the backcourt lounge, just as Zheng Sheng and others said, as the head coach, he could not help much now. He could only watch Zheng Tianxi and Su Yu quickly relax their muscles and recover their physical strength under the arrangement of the staff.
But for Sun Gaoshu, being able to watch Su Yu and the others relax after the game and having a brief chat with them about the current situation made him feel a little more relaxed.
While the lounge at the scene was busy, the domestic Internet had already exploded.
***
"Hurry, hurry, edit all three semi-finals, including Feng Chuming, and edit a video of less than 3 minutes, plus the final live interview. The Central Radio Station has a message, and it will be on the 7 o'clock news later!"
"20 minutes, hurry up!"
In the office of the Olympic live broadcast team of the sports channel, the person in charge of the track and field group was anxiously discussing the tasks with the on-site director and editor.
No one expected that the track and field schedule of the Tokyo Olympics had just begun tonight, and the Chinese team directly launched this wave of powerful performances!
The semi-finals of the three Japanese men's 100-meter sprints have just ended. It is currently 19:36 Japan time, 18:36 China time, and less than half an hour until the start of the 7 o'clock news on CCTV.
But the central station issued a direct notice - this news must be published!
The news broadcast of CCTV starts at 7 p.m. and ends at 7:30 p.m. Considering the tight time and heavy tasks, the news of the Tokyo Olympic 100m semi-finals will be broadcast in the second half.
But even so, the time left for the sports channel to edit and output the video and submit it to the central station for review will not exceed 30 minutes!
But no one at the sports channel would say no at this time. The director who was previously in charge of the 100-meter semi-finals was directly dragged away by the editor and the editing teacher, and the deputy director was temporarily replaced on the spot to be responsible for the subsequent events.
The head of the track and field group breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the chief director, the editor and the editor rushing to the editing room to urgently edit the news. But before he could relax to the end, he jumped up again.
"Hurry up, where are the publicity team? Spread the news to the entire internet! Tonight at 8:50, the men's 100-meter sprint final of the Tokyo Olympics will be held. Our athletes Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi will appear in the final!"
"We have our own channels, websites, official blogs, and Weibo platforms. All the news that needs to be released should be released there. Soon, CCTV news will also be released on CCTV's official account. There is also CCTV's radio station. Smash it all down! Smash it to death!!"
As he was talking, the person in charge grabbed his phone and rushed out: "Remember! Use all the resources you have! If anyone asks, tell them to call me!"
The person in charge rushed out, but did not rush too far. He went to the main office of the sports channel's live broadcast of the Olympic events on the same floor. When he arrived there, he went straight to the person in charge of the live broadcast of the Olympics, who was also the head of their sports channel.
"Boss! The men's 100-meter final will be held at 8:50 tonight. Reserve the half an hour before and after for me! Do we have any other promotional resources? Give me more!"
The director of the sports channel, Lao Dong, listened to the high-pitched voice of the director of the track and field group's live broadcast and waved his hands in disdain, but he was also smiling while saying disdain: "Okay, I'll keep it for you. The live broadcast time of the 100-meter final should have been reserved for you."
However, if no Chinese athlete successfully advances to the 100-meter final, this period of time cannot be pushed as a priority, and it is also impossible to give the track and field team half an hour before and after to broadcast the 100-meter final live.
But now it’s different!
Not to mention half an hour, if Su Yu or Zheng Tianxi can win medals in the 100-meter final later, there would be no problem extending the live broadcast time to one hour by repeatedly playing the footage of the two crossing the finish line!
Not only that, the boss also simply waved his hand and allocated more publicity resources and authority to the track and field team, preparing to work together to push tonight's men's 100m final to the peak of the Olympic live broadcast!
***
In fact, even without the promotional resources of the sports channel, the news that Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi both qualified for the men's 100-meter sprint final has spread throughout the country!
In major universities, students from many dormitories originally gathered together to watch the competition. When Su Yu's men's 100-meter sprint semi-final ended, the student dormitories in these schools were already filled with screams. When Zheng Tianxi's game began, the crowd watching the competition increased a lot due to the spread of the heat from Su Yu's game.
When Zheng Tianxi finally crossed the finish line as the first in the group and won the qualification for the final, the dormitory buildings of these universities were drowned out by screams and cheers. The dormitory buildings were filled with the carnival voices of "Su Yu is awesome", "Zheng Tianxi is awesome" and "Long live the Chinese team".
In university dormitories, office buildings, subways and buses, and residential buildings in various communities, the enthusiasm of the Olympics permeated every corner of the country. The news that Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi successfully qualified for the men's 100-meter sprint final and made history also spread rapidly to every corner of the country.
The names of Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi are now at the top of the hot search lists on popular social platforms such as Weibo and Tik Tok. In the Olympic column of Jigu Video, the clip of Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi successfully advancing in the semi-final is being quickly clicked and shared by the crazy crowd.
Jigu Video had already expanded the bandwidth of its website for the live broadcast of the Olympics, making sure to minimize the possibility of delays and freezes to give viewers a good viewing experience.
But with the crazy influx of people, the Jigu Video website actually experienced new momentary freezes - even the expanded bandwidth could not withstand such a crazy and surging flow of people.
The person in charge of the Olympic live broadcast team of Jigu Video actually jumped up on the spot the moment Su Yu's semi-final ended, and went straight to the person in charge of programming, demanding that the bandwidth be increased immediately.
The program manager had not yet reacted, but he believed in the experience of the person in charge of the Olympic team, so he immediately made a phone call to add additional bandwidth.
Even so, when the second wave of Zheng Tianxi's team's first-place impact on the finals came, they were still urgently and frantically expanding the bandwidth.
Traffic like waves swept towards Jigu Video. Although they welcomed it a little awkwardly, their faces were full of excitement.
After all, as a Chinese, who wouldn't feel excited when seeing such a scene?
***
At the same time, in S City, in the residential area where Su Yu lives, Su's parents and Jiang's parents are sitting together watching the live broadcast of the Tokyo Olympic Games tonight.
Tonight, not only will there be Su Yu's men's 100-meter sprint semi-finals, but also Jiang Yuan's men's high jump finals. The two families have always had a good relationship, and now they decided to get together to have dinner and watch the game.
For both families, the past few years since Su Yu and Jiang Yuan went to the summer training camp of the S Province Sports Team have been like a dream.
Neither family had expected that Su Yu and Jiang Yuan, at the age of 17, would have made it to the Olympics.
Both families are very open-minded about the competition between Su Yu and Jiang Yuan tonight - given the age of Su Yu and Jiang Yuan, it is already amazing to qualify for the Olympics. Are they now thinking about them winning medals in the Olympics?
Let alone winning a medal, for Su Yu at this age, it was already a miracle for him to make it to the semi-finals in the 100m race - that's what Su's father and mother originally thought.
As a result, they watched their beloved son go crazy in the semi-finals.
"100 meters in 9.95 seconds?!"
When the parents of both families saw Su Yu's results, they were stunned by his results and performance.
Before the two families could recover from the shock, a phone call came directly to Su Hongfeng.
Su Hongfeng heard the phone ringing and took a look at the caller. It was Zhao Yongzhong, the secretary of the S Province Sports Team.
As soon as the call was connected, Zhao Yongzhong congratulated Su Hongfeng repeatedly, and then said without further ado, "It's like this, the city just called and the municipal party committee arranged a live broadcast of tonight's finals. They want to invite you and your wife, as well as Jiang Yuan's parents, to watch the game together on site later."
Hearing what Zhao Yongzhong said, Su Hongfeng subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Zhao Yongzhong seemed to have guessed what Su Hongfeng was going to say: "The city has just issued a notice that the main leadership team will be present. Xiaoyu and Jiang Yuan are young, and everyone knows that, but this is the first time that a Chinese 100m sprinter has entered the Olympic 100m final. Su Yu is the first person in China to break the record."
“Everyone just wants to witness this moment together.”
After hearing what Zhao Yongzhong said, Su Hongfeng knew that it was difficult to refuse this matter. After hanging up the phone, he told Lin Xian and Jiang Mingchuan and Chen Yuting about this matter.
The two couples looked at each other for a while, then shook their heads and laughed, "I didn't expect that our two families would already be benefiting from the children at this age."
***
Since the end of Zheng Tianxi's semi-final at around 18:36 local time, news related to Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi has spread explosively.
After the 7 o'clock news broadcast on the main TV station in the evening, this influence directly spread to the elders who did not know the Olympic schedule and watched the Olympic Games just casually.
"Oh my, these two athletes from the Chinese team are amazing! This is the first time in history that Chinese athletes have entered the 100-meter final!"
"It's not just the Chinese athletes. CCTV's news also said that this is the first time that a yellow athlete has entered the Olympic 100m final."
"Oh? Come to think of it, the name Su Yu sounds familiar. Didn't he also make it to the finals of a competition last year? He was also from CCTV News at that time!"
…
Similar discussions were heard in every household at this moment, and everyone's attention was focused on the Olympic men's 100-meter sprint final which was to begin at 8:50!
***
Domestic, Track and Field Kingdom Forum
Ever since Su Yu successfully advanced to the next round as the second in the group in the 100m semi-finals, the pages of the Track and Field Kingdom Forum have never stopped boiling and bustling.
The number of people online in the forum section has skyrocketed, setting new highs since half an hour ago.
The homepage was full of people happily discussing the finals that would be held later.
[Tonight’s 100-meter race was so beautiful that it seemed like a dream…]
[To be honest, I don’t even dare to dream about such an exaggerated thing! Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi, the two leading players of the Chinese sprint team from different generations, advanced to the Tokyo Olympic finals at the same time... It's incredible! 】
Who says it isn’t? When Su Yu successfully advanced to the finals just now, I thought it was the highlight moment, but I didn’t expect Team Zheng to advance directly first in the group with a time of 9.91 seconds.
At that moment, I jumped up from the sofa and stood there in a daze for a long time before I came to my senses. My parents thought something happened to me and they were scared. 】
[This is all so dreamy and incredible. 9.95 and 9.91, both advanced to the Olympic finals. I almost wanted to ask if this is still the 100-meter sprint result of our Chinese team? 】
[To be honest, when I saw Su Yu cross the finish line in 9.95 seconds, my first reaction was definitely excitement, but my second reaction was that Su Yu fought so hard in the 100m semi-finals. Even if he made it to the finals, he still has a 400m semi-final tomorrow and a 200m race the day after tomorrow...
At the time, I thought that Su Yu's behavior was not very rational, especially when Team Zheng successfully advanced in the third group of the semi-finals with a time of 9.91 seconds. What I thought was that Su Yu was still too young. In the 100m semi-finals, Team Zheng could provide a backup. Although he made it into the 100m final, it would be difficult for him to perform well in the final. This would only give him an additional title of 'making it to the Olympic finals', which was not worth it... or the cost-effectiveness was a bit low.
As a result, the live interview after the game made my face swollen.
I never expected that Su Yu would go all out in the semi-finals just to relieve the pressure on Team Zheng...】
[+1 to the friend in front. I was so excited during the game that I didn’t think too much about it to be honest. During the live interview, I really didn’t expect Captain Zheng’s answer.
Over the past few years, when we talk about the men's 100 meters in our country, we must mention Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming. But in fact, we all know that the one who really bears all the pressure in the front is Captain Zheng.
If you don't believe it, whenever Team Zheng performs poorly in a game, those abusive trolls will come out.
Everyone was watching Team Zheng’s results—because we all knew that Team Zheng’s results were the weather vane for the domestic men’s 100-meter sprint.
Over the years, probably because of their gloomy faces, everyone thought that Captain Zheng and Feng Chuming were tough guys, and no one ever thought that even Captain Zheng and Feng Chuming would have pressure on themselves, and there would be times when they would need their teammates to help support and share the pressure.
To be honest, after watching Team Zheng's post-match interview, I thought about it again - if Su Yu hadn't made it to the finals in the second group of the semi-finals, Team Zheng would probably have been under more pressure in this semi-final and would have run harder.
Just like we now think that Su Yu tried too hard in the semi-finals and there is no hope for the finals, if Zheng had tried his best in the semi-finals, he would have been a veteran and his physical fitness and muscle recovery speed would definitely not be as fast as Su Yu. At that time, Zheng tried his best to bring the Chinese team into the finals, but he could not play his best in the finals to win a better result for himself...
Really, when I think of this possibility now, I feel a little scared. 】
In this special discussion building for the Olympic men's 100-meter sprint semi-finals in the kingdom of track and field, many track and field fans watched this content and fell into a long silence.
Yes, as long as you are a human being, it is impossible for you to be without pressure.
As long as one is a human being, his or her state will always fluctuate when facing pressure.
Before today, Zheng Tianxi had been carrying the banner of the Chinese team for too long, and today, someone can finally take over the banner of the Chinese team from him and support him in moving towards further and better results!
Someone else vaguely remembered that in fact, it was not just this Olympic semi-final. In the semi-finals of the Doha Athletics World Championships last year, after Zheng Tianxi's defeat, it was Su Yu who also took on the heavy responsibility of leading the Chinese team into the World Championships finals.
At that time, they were so excited about Su Yu's successful advancement to the World Championships finals that they completely ignored the efforts that Zheng Tianxi, Su Yu and others made behind the scenes for the Chinese team.
After a long while, someone suddenly left a message in the post:
[Friends, be proud that the Chinese team has such players! Whether it is Feng Chuming, Zheng Tianxi, or Su Yu, these athletes not only have the strongest sprinting ability, but they also have a sense of responsibility to contribute to the Chinese team.
It is precisely because of such athletes, as well as the many coaches, researchers, doctors, and ordinary staff who are also silently dedicated, that we can see such wonderful events one after another and see the vitality of Chinese track and field today. 】
***
Various excited discussions on the Internet were still going on, and in the backcourt lounge of the Tokyo Olympic Stadium, Su Yu had just completed the cold therapy while shivering - even though he knew that cold therapy in the liquid nitrogen cold therapy chamber could quickly relax muscles and reduce the possibility of muscle inflammation, every time Su Yu entered the cold therapy chamber, he would indeed have the illusion that he was about to be frozen to death.
Fortunately, the cold therapy has ended now. He drank two sips of the energy-replenishing drink handed to him by the nutritionist, and then was pressed onto the massage bed by the massage teacher for a whole set of relatively simple muscle massage relaxation procedures.
Next to him, Zheng Tianxi was also receiving Liao Yongming's iron hand massage. While massaging Zheng Tianxi, Dr. Liao looked up and glared at Su Yu.
"You little brat! You're just charging recklessly because you're young! Don't you have to run in the race later?"
Obviously, Dr. Liao was complaining about Su Yu. After the 400-meter preliminaries in the morning, he ran 9.95 in the 100-meter semifinals tonight. He will also run the finals later, and the 400-meter semifinals tomorrow...
Liao Yongming did not approve of Su Yu being under so much pressure, but after thinking about it, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Forget it, forget it. There are not many people like Su Yu who can compete in so many events in the sprint, but in events like swimming, it is not uncommon for one athlete to participate in seven or eight events at the same time.
Thinking of this, Liao Yongming shook his head helplessly. Only Su Yu's special physique could withstand such a treatment.
As the leader of the massage physician team of the national track and field team, Pei Dingshan would certainly not hide from him the peculiarity of Su Yu's physical recovery ability, so Liao Yongming had some idea about Su Yu's physical recovery ability.
Otherwise, seeing Su Yu's performance today, Liao Yongming should not just talk about it, but should give Su Yu a good lesson.
Finally, after the masseur relaxed all his body muscles, Su Yu finally sat on the bench in the lounge.
It is now around 8:30 p.m. Tokyo time. Beside Su Yu, Zheng Tianxi has also completed his adjustments and is also sitting on a bench to rest and adjust.
After the staff in the lounge finished giving Su Yu and the others a relaxing massage, they all hid in the next room, leaving the main space of the lounge to Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi so that they could have a good rest.
After making sure that Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi were in good condition, Sun Gaoshu and Pei Dingshan also left the lounge directly and went outside so as not to disturb the two's rest.
In fact, if they followed the process of the previous competition, they would still need to introduce the final lineup to Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi, but the situation of the previous semi-finals was actually very clear. In the end, the top two players in the three semi-final groups and the third and fourth players in Su Yu's competition group advanced.
After clarifying this information, the only thing left is the lane order. However, for Zheng Tianxi and Su Yu, the lane order in the finals should not have much impact.
In this case, Sun Gaoshu and Pei Dingshan both felt that there was no need to communicate with the two about the situation of the final now.
For the Chinese team, it is a miraculous result that Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi were able to successfully advance to the finals. No matter what the final result is, both of them have made history.
As for Sun Gaoshu, his private hope is that Zheng Tianxi can give full play to his strength in this final and not leave any regrets in his career.
Just as Zheng Tianxi said in the live interview after the game - in the semi-finals, he finally had teammates who could support him.
Sun Gaoshu couldn't help but think in his heart, Zheng Tianxi, who successfully maintained his calm and state in the semi-finals, will have what kind of outburst and results in the finals?
***
After all the staff in the lounge, including the two coaches, left, Zheng Tianxi and Su Yu each sat on a bench and rested quietly.
From now until the start of the final at 9:50 later, excluding the warm-up time for the final, they have less than an hour of rest time.
After nodding to Su Yu, Zheng Tianxi simply chose to close his eyes and rest. He needed to recover his condition as best as possible.
After Zheng Tianxi began to close his eyes to rest, Su Yu thought for a while, picked up his mobile phone and took a look.
Since his match in the semi-finals, his phone, both QQ and WeChat, have been flooded with messages.
He didn't have the extra time to read other messages, so he quickly opened the group message he, Zhou Yuang and others were in.
There are already over 999 unread messages in their group. With Ye Minghao around, the red envelopes in the group kept rolling in during the time when he advanced to the finals.
It can be seen that as a 100-meter sprinter and as a competitor who has deep feelings for the sprinting event, Ye Minghao was particularly excited after Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi successfully advanced to the 100-meter final of the Tokyo Olympics.
However, Su Yu did not check the red envelopes sent by Ye Minghao and others for the time being. Instead, he took a look at Jiang Yuan's current situation in the group.
In the men's high jump, there are a total of 13 athletes in the final stage. Each athlete has 3 trial jumps at each height. The crossbar referee needs to readjust the crossbar height and measure each trial jump.
So although high jump is the first event to start today, it is very likely to end later than the men's 100-meter sprint final.
Before the start of the second group of the semi-finals that Su Yu was in, the competition on the field had just begun. Because the pre-match atmosphere of the 100-meter sprint semi-finals was too tense, the Japanese player Kenta Sasaki, who appeared before Su Yu's group, made a mistake in his first attempt at a height of 2.19 meters.
Jiang Yuan's appearance order in the men's high jump final was just after Kenta Sasaki.
Su Yu's competition was over at that time. He saw Jiang Yuan successfully clear the bar at a height of 2.19 meters, but after his competition ended and he returned to the backcourt lounge, he was temporarily unable to pay attention to the situation in the men's high jump.
Through the chat records in the group, Su Yu quickly clarified the current situation of the men's high jump.
The men's high jump final is currently at the end of the second round of trial jumps, with the second round trial jump height being 2.24 meters.
In the first round of trial jumps, Kenta Sasaki from Japan made a mistake due to the excessive pressure on the scene, but he still successfully crossed the bar in the subsequent second round of trial jumps.
In addition to Jiang Yuan's successful clearance of the pole, Sun Yuhang of the Chinese team directly chose to apply for a jump exemption at the height of 2.19 meters. Like him, Qatar's famous athlete Mohammed Radei also chose to apply for a jump exemption at the first height.
This Qatari star, who chose not to jump at the 2.19-meter height like Sun Yuhang, was the same athlete who lost to Sun Yuhang in the Doha World Championships.
In this Tokyo Olympic high jump final, Mohammed Radei seemed to be planning to challenge Sun Yuhang. His appearance number happened to be after Sun Yuhang, so it is reasonable to suspect that he made this choice because Sun Yuhang chose to skip the jump at a height of 2.19 meters.
As for applying for exemption from jump, who starts first and who can't hold on first will have a certain impact on the momentum and mentality of the players.
Now the high jump final has come to the second trial jump at a height of 2.24 meters - for those athletes who can successfully advance to the Olympic finals, they naturally will not allow themselves to make mistakes at a height of 2.24 meters.
Therefore, among the 13 players on the field, except for the sixth American player who made a mistake at this height, the remaining players also maintained the result of clearing the pole in one go.
Now it was the turn of Sun Yuhang, who was going to perform on the 11th time, but he still raised his hand and applied for exemption.
Soon, Mohammed Radei also made the same choice.
Whether it was the audience or the players on the field, this time they all paid attention to the confrontation between Sun Yuhang and Mohammed Radei.
Because in last season's World Championships, Sun Yuhang finally secured his final victory by applying for a jump exemption at a height of 2.35 meters.
So it is obvious that this time Mohammed Radei adopted a full-time marking strategy - in this game, as long as he follows Sun Yuhang's movements, the confrontation between the two will not be easily reversed.
Unless Sun Yuhang dares to keep applying for exemption...that would be crazy! Mohammed guessed that Sun Yuhang's application for exemption from the jump would be up to a height of 2.27 meters at most. He did not think that Sun Hang would continue to apply for exemption from the jump when he reached a height of 2.30 meters!
This is the Olympic final!
Without going through the previous trial jump, directly challenging a height of over 2.30 meters? !
Muhammad felt that even a madman like Sun Yuhang would not make such a choice.
Soon, the height of the horizontal bar on the field reached 2.27 meters. At this height, three athletes made mistakes in their first attempt.
Sun Yuhang still maintained his application for skipping the exam, and Mohammed Radei followed suit.
Also at the height of 2.27 meters, the three athletes who made mistakes in the trial jumps all conducted three rounds of trial jumps. In the third round of trial jumps, Japan's Kenta Sasaki failed to successfully complete his challenge, probably because of the pressure of playing at home, and unfortunately became the first person to be eliminated in this game.
The other two athletes successfully cleared the bar after their last attempt.
At this point, the height of the bar reached 2.27 meters before a contestant was eliminated for the first time.
In the commentary room of the domestic Jigu video live broadcast, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming could not help but sigh when seeing such a battle situation. It was worthy of being the men's high jump final of the Olympics. In such a high-level duel tonight, perhaps high-level results rarely seen in daily competitions would appear in the end.
Especially in the current competition - Japan's Kenta Sasaki has been eliminated, but at this height, Sun Yuhang is still calmly applying for exemption from the jump.
The contrast is truly shocking.
After seeing Kenta Sasaki eliminated, Tian Ruhui couldn't help but sigh: "In every competition in the past, Zhang Xujian has always been the 'stabilizing force' of the high jump event. Because of Zhang Xujian's presence, even if Sun Yuhang has many wonderful ideas in the competition, at least Zhang Xujian is there to support him."
"This time, Zhang Xujian failed to qualify for the finals due to poor performance in the preliminaries, so the heavy responsibility of being the stabilizing force fell on Jiang Yuan's shoulders. Up to the height of 2.27 meters, Jiang Yuan successfully maintained an excellent performance of clearing the bar in one go."
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming looked at each other and shook their heads with amusement.
"Like Jiang Yuan and Su Yu, they are both only 17-year-old athletes this year. However, judging from their performances, the young generation of Chinese track and field athletes have gradually begun to support the banner of Chinese track and field!"
Amid the laughter and conversation between Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, there was actually some worry about Sun Yuhang's performance in this game - for the Chinese track and field team, Sun Yuhang was probably... no, he must be the biggest outlier among the flag-bearing athletes in each event.
However, thinking about Sun Yuhang's performance in the World Championships last season, one can't help but feel that he does have the confidence and ability to be arrogant.
Well, let’s hope that he can continue to be successful in tonight’s final!
***
On the field, the men's high jump competition is still going on.
The time had unknowingly come to 9:18.
At this time, the on-site staff came and knocked on the door of the Chinese team's lounge, informing Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi that they could go to the warm-up venue for warm-up and preparation.
After hearing the news from the staff, Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi opened their eyes at the same time in the lounge.
Next, it’s time for their final battle of the night!
