Chapter 96
20.83 seconds (wind speed 0.1m/s).
This is Su Yu's final result in the men's 200m preliminaries in this group.
“A pretty good result.”
Before this, Su Yu's 200m PB was only 20.79 seconds. After three consecutive wins in the men's 100m in the previous two days, he was able to run 20.83 seconds in today's 200m event to get first place in the group. This is almost tying his personal best performance in history, which is unexpected for most people.
Of course, if we say that Su Yu won the first place in this group with a score of 20.83, it was also because Su Yu's opponent in this game was not too strong.
Generally speaking, in the preliminary round of the 200m, it is not difficult for athletes to advance, but to get first place in the group, they have to run a score of less than 20.70 seconds. If a score of 20.83 is placed in a general group, it is likely to only get second or third place.
Although Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were delighted with Su Yu's performance, they did not exaggerate Su Yu's results in this game. Their main purpose was to hope that the majority of spectators in the live broadcast room would not misunderstand the difficulty of qualifying for the entire World Youth Championship because of the special situation in the first group of the preliminaries.
Fortunately, the spectators in the live broadcast room did not care too much about this. They were eating melons at the moment, and the source of the melons came from the few viewers in the live broadcast room who could understand Finnish.
The public screen in the live broadcast room is now a small translation classroom for these spectators. They translated what the official commentator of the Latina Stadium said one by one onto the public screen, and are laughingly @Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming.
After all, they were commentating on the same game, but the two sides' commentary ideas and expressions were very different. One said that Su Yu was in a relaxed state, while the other said that Su Yu tried his best to advance to the semi-finals with a better result, but his poor physical fitness might affect his subsequent game state.
You can't say both of these statements are right, right?
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming did not expect to encounter such questions. The two veteran commentators couldn't help laughing.
This Su Yu!
To be honest, if they had not observed Su Yu for more than a year, it would have been difficult for them to avoid such misunderstandings if they had been commentating on Su Yu's competition for the first time.
After all, a starting reaction time of 0.133 seconds is already a very good starting reaction data, not to mention for ordinary 200-meter runners, even for top 100-meter runners such as Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming.
You know, because the 200m starts on a curve, it is difficult for the runners to achieve the same extreme reaction time as in the 100m. So, Su Yu gave excellent reaction time data on the 200m track, which is considered an excellent performance for a first-class 100m runner. In the eyes of the commentator who did not know him well enough, of course, this was his all-out performance.
Teachers Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming smiled and did not explain too much, but the track and field fans in the live broadcast room had already explained the whole thing to everyone.
While everyone in the live broadcast room was giving a science lecture, Su Yu, after confirming his own results, took the coat handed to him by the on-site staff and put it on. He waved towards the audience seats and walked towards the exit passage.
On the way to the exit, I passed by the press interview area and met Liu Yu, Li Xiang, Lin Weixiong and others.
"Su Yu, Su Yu! Would you like to have a quick chat?"
Su Yu was very respectful to the three reporters who came all the way to Tampere, Finland for interviews. He nodded to them and stood in front of them.
"First of all, congratulations to the group winners for advancing to the semi-finals. Can you briefly say a few words about your performance in today's game?"
Perhaps he had already had a psychological trauma from the "self-reflective" answer Su Yu gave in the interview the night before, so Lin Weixiong had already cut Su Yu off before asking questions today - the first thing he said was congratulations to Su Yu for getting first in the group and advancing to the finals.
Lin Weixiong was thinking, this way, Su Yu would no longer be able to praise his opponent endlessly, right?
As a result, Su Yu just blinked, and did not continue to praise his opponent. However, his answer was a bit too simple.
Su Yu took the microphone and said, "My condition today is pretty good, so I'm lucky to win first place in the preliminary group."
Lin Weixiong:?
Lin Weixiong: “No more?”
Su Yu looked at him suspiciously: "...what else do you want?"
Lin Weixiong: …
"Ahem." Seeing Lin Weixiong frozen in place, Liu Yu hurriedly asked a new question: "Xiaoyu, what are your expectations for tonight's semi-finals?"
Su Yu thought for a moment and said seriously, "Keep up the good work and try to perform better tonight."
Well, it’s the same as saying nothing.
After Su Yu expressed his intention to go back and rest, Lin Weixiong and others watched Su Yu's back as he left. They always felt that Su Yu's steps seemed to be noticeably lighter after he turned around and left.
There was a great sense of joy that the interview was finally over.
Lin Weixiong looked at Su Yu's back and couldn't help laughing: "Liu Ji, look at Su Yu like this. I guess if we hadn't rushed to the backcourt lounge to block him last night, he would have definitely fooled the interview outside."
Liu Yu and Li Xiang listened to Lin Weixiong's words and nodded with a smile.
In fact, interviews in the sports circle are often like this. These athletes are usually not as eloquent as the stars in the entertainment circle. At present, the one with the most golden sentences in interviews in the circle is Sun Yuhang, a lively guy. The rest of the players are mostly given some set phrases for interviews by the team, and they are all the same over and over again.
As for Su Yu, from his answer the night before in which he praised all his opponents, we knew that although this kid was also not good at interviews, he obviously had not yet learned some of the clichés taught to him by the team.
Unexpectedly, the next day, he seemed to have learned it.
Liu Yu glanced at Su Yu's brisk back as he left, and said with a smile: "Well, that's enough, the fooling team has added a new member."
"I don't know who taught him, but he taught him pretty quickly."
Who taught you?
Of course Su Yu would not say that the surprise interview the night before had given him a sense of crisis, so during the break after breakfast this morning, he urgently searched for video clips of "Post-match Interviews with Athletes" and studied them carefully.
***
Su Yu had finished the game first, and successfully returned to the backcourt lounge with a qualifying spot to receive a relaxing massage from the masseur. On the field, with Su Yu's exit, Zhou Yuang had already stood at the starting line with his opponents.
Compared with the match against Su Yu, Zhou Yuang's opponent in this match was not too easy to deal with.
The reason for this is that two of the favorites to win the men's 200m at the World Youth Championships are in the same group as him, one of whom is Marcus Stewart from the American team and the other is Ismael Schaeffers from South Africa.
The two favorites to win the championship are: the former, Marcus from the American team, is 19 years old and has just run a personal best of 20.31 this season; the other, Ismail from South Africa, is only 18 years old and has also broken his personal best this season. His current PB is 20.41, only 0.1 second behind Marcus.
No matter who is stronger between Marcus and Ismail, it has nothing to do with Zhou Yuang for the time being. So far, his personal best result is 21.06 in the Asian Games trials. This result has not even broken 21 seconds. The gap with the two big guys with 20.31 and 20.41 is too big.
For Zhou Yuang, the two players who pose a greater threat to him at the moment are actually the other two players in the second group of preliminaries - Shogo Ando from Japan and Bradley Miller from the Bahamas.
Between the two, the former is one of the talented young players in the Japanese men's 200m. He is only 16 years old this year and is one of the younger players in this World Youth Championship. Among all the 200m individual contestants in the World Youth Championship, only Su Yu and Zhou Yuang are younger than him.
Unlike the Chinese team where only Su Yu and Zhou Yuang met the 200m standard, in the men's 200m event at the World Youth Championships, the total number of Japanese players who met the standard within the entire qualifying window period was as high as 36. Just looking at the 16-year-old Ando Shogo who was able to get one of the final two places, we should know that this young player of the Japanese team should not be underestimated.
This is indeed the case. Ando Shogo's personal best in the 200m is 20.84 seconds. Although Su Yu surpassed Ando Shogo with a time of 20.79 seconds in the Asian Games trials, this does not mean that Su Yu is absolutely capable of defeating Ando Shogo in the competition.
For Zhou Yuang, Ando Shogo, who can run 20.84 seconds, is definitely a very threatening opponent.
In addition to Shogo Ando, the other 19-year-old athlete Bradley Miller from the Bahamas is not simple either. His PB of 20.87 seconds will also make it difficult for Zhou Yuang to deal with.
After counting the opponents in Zhou Yuang's group, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming both felt a headache.
"Among all the groups in the men's 200m preliminaries, the second group is definitely the most difficult one. Of course, this does not mean that Zhou Yuang has absolutely no hope of advancing in this group. As we just said, in the men's 200m preliminaries, in addition to the top four runners in each group, there are still four places for the remaining top four runners who have not advanced."
"Of course, if possible, it would be best to advance directly from the preliminaries and take your fate into your own hands."
After all, if you fail to qualify directly, qualifying by substitution is more like leaving the hope of qualifying to fate and the performance of your opponents, which seems a bit too passive.
On the field, compared with the first group of the preliminaries that Su Yu was in, the atmosphere between the players in this group was a bit more intense.
In addition to Marcus from the United States, Ismail from South Africa, Shogo Ando from Japan and Bradley from the Bahamas, the remaining three athletes besides Zhou Yuang include one from Zimbabwe and one from Italy. Both of their PBs are 21.11 seconds, which is almost the same as Zhou Yuang's result.
In other words, among the total of 8 players in this group, 7 are fully capable of advancing to the semi-finals, and it mainly depends on the specific performance of each player.
After introducing the situation of this group, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming also said that the next preliminaries of this group should be a very exciting game. They hope that Zhou Yuang can play well in the game and give a good performance.
It should be said that Zhou Yuang is worthy of being a world-class athlete who has been able to step by step reach the world's top level in the past historical trajectory. Even though he is only 15 years old now and just switched from 100 meters to 200 meters last season, he still relied on his talent and ability to successfully enter the World Youth Championship at the age of 15.
It can be said that even if there is a perverted genius like Su Yu ahead of him, just based on his PB of 21.09 seconds at the age of 15, he is definitely considered one of the top talented athletes in the country.
Moreover, in terms of height, this talented athlete actually seems to be more suitable for the 200-meter event than Su Yu. He also has the big heart necessary to be an excellent athlete.
He is undoubtedly a competitive player. When facing a strong opponent, he will appear particularly excited. This excitement often promotes Zhou Yuang to perform better in the game.
Just like now, although he knew how strong his opponents were, Zhou Yuang was full of energy when he went on the court, and didn't look nervous or afraid at all.
In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, many track and field fans who were watching the game were quite moved after seeing Zhou Yuang's condition -
[The young players in this World Youth Championship, Su Yu, Jiang Yuan, Ye Minghao and Zhou Yuang, are all unexpectedly big-hearted players, which is really rare. 】
【you do not say? Before the World Youth Championships started, my friends and I discussed privately and were worried. Su Yu and other young 100m and 200m athletes had no experience in participating in international competitions. What would happen if they got scared in the World Youth Championships? What is the result? Hey, none of them seem to be cowardly at all, they are full of energy...】
These track and field fans have seen too many athletes who are good at fighting in domestic games but timid in foreign games. They used to be very frustrated with those athletes and just wanted to ask them, why are they so timid when it comes to foreign games when they are obviously very talented?
A person who can run 10.30 seconds in the 100m can directly achieve a result of 10.80 seconds.
So much so that track and field fans have accumulated too much disappointment.
But fortunately, in this World Youth Championship, Su Yu and other young players who are not only good at domestic competitions but also even better at foreign competitions finally gave track and field fans a shot in the arm, allowing them to completely "come back to life".
Those bystanders in the live broadcast room don’t know much about the situation in the sports circle, but even if they don’t know about the situation in the sports circle, they know about gossip!
So many passers-by who were just eating melons came out immediately——
[Well, friends, regarding this Zhou Yuang, look at his state when he was interviewed by Li Xiang from Province G. Can't you see that he is a show-off? 】
[For this kind of people who like to show off, isn't it true that the bigger the stadium, the crazier they get? 】
?
The track and field fans in the live broadcast room were still reminiscing about the good old days, but a few words from these bystanders immediately opened their minds - damn, it seems to be really the case? Take Zhou Yuang for example. Even though he hadn't yet achieved a result in the 200-meter race, he dared to confidently say "pay attention to the 200 meters" during an interview. Shouldn't he be even braver now?
***
At this moment in the competition, Zhou Yuang didn’t know how netizens were discussing him, but if he saw the discussion among netizens, he would probably have to follow up with a sentence - hey, that’s right!
At this moment, Zhou Yuang was eager to try facing the opponents on the field. When the starter blew the whistle to indicate that the game was about to begin, Zhou Yuang looked so impatient.
But no matter how impatient he was, he was not really stupid. There was always a string in his mind. He knew that he was not very good at controlling the segmented speed and distributing physical energy. But fortunately, he had never stopped his segmented speed training for more than a year, and Su Yu had generously shared with him many detailed experiences in controlling his own limbs, speed and rhythm during training.
No matter how excited he felt at the moment, Zhou Yuang had not forgotten these contents from his mind.
He knew very well that in this game, his hope of advancing was slim, and if he wanted to seize this glimmer of hope, he couldn't rely solely on his own brainless recklessness.
Cadence, backstroke, cadence, backstroke.
After the official starter gave the command "on your marks", Zhou Yuang squatted onto his starting block, supported himself on the edge of the starting line in front of his body with his hands outstretched, and stepped on the pedals of the starting block one after the other. As he became more and more excited, he kept reminding himself in his heart not to forget the rhythm!
In the audience, although Zhong Wen and other students from No. 12 Middle School had already cheered for Su Yu, they immediately focused their attention when they saw Zhou Yuang, a player from the same Chinese team and even the same S Province Sports Team as Su Yu, come on stage.
"Ahhh, come on Zhou Yuang!!!"
After enthusiastically cheering for Zhou Yuang for a long time, Zhong Wen and the others shut up when they saw the official starter start the command. They looked intently in the direction of the stadium, nervously waiting for the starting gun to sound before continuing to cheer for Zhou Yuang.
Zhong Wen was looking at the direction of the competition venue and asked his brother nervously, "Brother, do you think Zhou Yuang has a chance to advance to the semi-finals?"
Wang Yangming listened to his cousin's question and tapped his head with his finger: "Alright, just focus on the game!"
As a veteran track and field fan, Wang Yangming certainly knew more about the situation on the field than Zhong Wen. The more he knew, the more nervous he became. At this time, he didn't dare to make any judgment, for fear that he would accidentally say something bad or unpleasant.
In this rather tense atmosphere, the starter on the scene gave the command "Ready", followed by the sound of a "bang" from the starting gun.
“The game has begun!!”
In this race, Zhou Yuang was in the sixth lane, which can be regarded as the golden lane for the 200-meter event. On the contrary, Japan's Ando Shogo was in the ninth lane, which was not so easy to run.
And in the fifth lane behind Zhou Yuang's left is Marcus Stewart, the American team player who has the potential to win the championship.
This is a player with strong explosive acceleration ability. From this point of view, his technical characteristics are very similar to Zhou Yuang.
In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming both looked very solemn after seeing Marcus' explosive performance at the start.
"He has great explosive power and a very quick reaction time. With a reaction time of 0.139 seconds, it can be seen that Marcus was in very good shape in this game."
If Zhou Yuang could have a relatively big advantage in this group, then the atmosphere in the live broadcast room might be relatively relaxed at this moment, and perhaps some of the onlookers would laugh "hahaha" at Tian Ruhui's introduction of Marcus.
But it is obvious that the situation in this preliminary match is not too ideal, because even without the introduction of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, the spectators can see with their naked eyes that Marcus of the American team has really strong explosive power!
In just the first three steps of the sprint, Marcus was able to use his explosive power to almost wipe out the distance Zhou Yuang had originally led him from the starting line.
This discovery made those spectators feel a little uneasy about enjoying the show.
After all, they are just watching the show, hoping that the players of their national team can get good results. Moreover, they are not idlers. While watching the show, they have also learned about Zhou Yuang's situation and know that Zhou Yuang himself is a player with a promising future.
As a result, the two promising runners were in adjacent lanes. At the start of the race, Zhou Yuang's lane 6 had a head start of several meters over Marcus' lane 5. Unfortunately, this advantage was visibly lost just after the race started...
The timid audience almost wanted to close their eyes when they saw this moment.
They were nervous as they watched Zhou Yuang on the court, their hearts beating like drums, and all they were thinking in their minds was - Oh my God! Those of them who were watching the game outside the court started to feel their scalps tingling when they saw Marcus chasing Zhou Yuang. With Marcus next to him on the court, and Zhou Yuang being chased and crushed by his opponent like this, could he still maintain his condition and rhythm?
In fact, when Zhou Yuang noticed that Marcus was approaching him quickly and was about to tie him up at the start, he really found it difficult to maintain his condition - but it was not that he was too nervous to maintain his condition, but that at that moment, after truly feeling the strength of his opponent, the excitement that came from his heart and blood was completely ignited at this moment.
He wants to catch up!
If he hadn't desperately reminded himself of 'rhythm, stride, and distribution of physical energy' in his mind before the game started, he might have already started rushing forward uncontrollably by now!
But he still managed to keep up with his own rhythm - perhaps not completely successful, he did not completely lose his mind and be carried away by Marcus' rhythm, but his overall rhythm and speed were definitely faster than his usual state.
Exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale.
Zhou Yuang constantly controlled his overall rhythm by controlling his breathing. He could feel that his overall speed was faster than usual, but it didn't matter - over the past long period of time, especially during the previous World Youth Championship training, he had seriously reserved physical strength for himself.
Su Xiaoyu, who is in such a weak physical condition, can still compete in both 100m and 200m. However, he only runs the 200m event. Could it be that he, with such a big stature, is physically worse than Su Xiaoyu?
It was agreed that they would be in dormitory 303bking. Zhou Yuang couldn't just be a useless little brother who held the team back!
***
In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming certainly had no way of knowing what was going on in Zhou Yuang's mind, but they could see that although Marcus of the American team had quickly tied and even surpassed Zhou Yuang in the explosive phase of the start, Zhou Yuang did not fall further behind Marcus after entering the curve running phase!
“Very good! Very good!!”
"Zhou Yuang caught up with Marcus's rhythm and didn't fall behind significantly! Hold on! Zhou Yuang, hold on!!!"
There was some excitement in Zhou Jiming's voice. Although he didn't have time to say much due to the real-time commentary, from his perspective, Zhou Yuang was more than just not obviously lagging behind. At this stage, Zhou Yuang's performance can even be said to be second only to Marcus and Ismail of South Africa!
Not only that, Zhou Yuang seemed to be lagging behind Marcus, but his overall rhythm not only caught up with Marcus, but also showed no signs of being disrupted!
“Very solid cornering technique!”
The two players brought out by Pei Dingshan, both Su Yu and Zhou Yuang, are impeccable in basic technical ability. Su Yu, needless to say, has a very strong ability to control himself and to read and learn techniques, while Zhou Yuang looks carefree, but in fact, he is a tough guy who was able to search for sprint-related papers and materials on the Internet to study on his own when an ordinary coach was unable to provide him with more advanced theoretical knowledge.
Under the guidance of Pei Dingshan, although Zhou Yuang could not be as familiar with the details of technical evaluation of various track and field events as Su Yu, he was able to be very determined on himself in learning and mastering the techniques of 100 meters and 200 meters.
Perhaps due to his personality, he cannot achieve the same high level of control as Su Yu in his natural use of technology, but in terms of ability, he is definitely not bad.
At this time, if observed from the perspective of the live audience, it is easier to see the speed relationship between Zhou Yuang, Marcus and Ismael on the track - compared with Marcus in the fifth lane, although Marcus has already led Zhou Yuang in the inner lane, after entering the second half of the curve, the actual distance between Marcus and Zhou Yuang has not been further widened.
The same thing happened between Zhou Yuang and Ismail on the eighth path.
Due to the different lanes, it was difficult to judge the outcome between Marcus in the fifth lane and Ismael in the eighth lane before they exited the bend. However, between Ismael in the eighth lane and Ando Shogo of the Japanese team in the ninth lane, it was clear that Ismael put a lot of pressure on Ando Shogo.
It should be said that the Japanese player Ando Shogo performed quite well, but he was in the outermost lane, which is a lane that can easily blur the player's sense of rhythm. Because the forward distance in the outermost lane is the longest and the tangent angle is the largest, not only the rhythm of entering the curve is faster, but there is also a lack of opponents as a reference.
In this situation, Ando Shogo chose to start at full speed, but at the same time, the South African player Ismael behind him on the left was a much stronger player than Ando Shogo. With Ismael's rapid approach, Ando Shogo was under tremendous psychological pressure.
Faced with an almost identical situation to Zhou Yuang, Ando Shogo was unable to maintain his own rhythm. He was obviously disrupted by Ismael's rhythm. He exerted all his speed in the cornering stage to maintain his original advantage in the forward distance on the outermost lane, but it was this choice that made him look confused.
After observing the overall situation on the field, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming couldn't help but praise: "There is a chance!"
Ando Shogo on the ninth lane was disrupted by Ismael, but Zhou Yuang maintained his own rhythm.
At the same time, the runner in the seventh lane was the Zimbabwean runner whose result was almost the same as Zhou Yuang's. But it was obvious that with Zhou Yuang and Marcus behind him on the left and Ismael and Ando Shogo in front of him on the right, the runner from Zimbabwe showed his extreme nervousness from the reaction stage of the start.
Not only did he only have a reaction speed of 0.165s at the start, but he also made frequent mistakes during the explosive phase of the start. Just in the cornering stage, the athlete from Zimbabwe had already shown a clear trend of falling behind.
The player from Italy in the fourth lane performed quite well, but Bradley from the Bahamas in the third lane was very aggressive. Under the impact of Bradley's rhythm, it was hard to say whether the Italian player could maintain his form until the end of the game.
Compared with them, Zhou Yuang in the sixth lane was in such a positive state that it was visibly visible to the naked eye. Not only did he not collapse due to the threat from Marcus, but in the following game, after catching up with Marcus's rhythm, he was able to unleash his own speed even better!
"Very good! Beautiful! Very beautiful!!!"
In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming both seemed very excited. They were expecting Zhou Yuang to maintain the momentum to the end and successfully win the direct qualifying spot in the men's 200m preliminaries!
“Bend and go straight!”
While Zhou Jiming was nervously watching the overall situation on the field, he was also looking at Zhou Yuang's current condition.
When the athletes merge from the curve into the straight, it means that the race has entered the final 80 meters. At this time, the leading and lagging situations between the athletes on the field can be seen very clearly!
On the field, the current leader is American Marcus Stewart in lane 5, while second is South African Ismael Schaeffers.
“Third place!!!”
After Tian Ruhui quickly took in the situation on the field, his eyes quickly blossomed with surprise: "Our player Zhou Yuang is currently in third place! Zhou Yuang, hold on! This is the rhythm!!"
On the field, Zhou Yuang's stride frequency did not increase further after entering the straight, but if you use the split-beam camera on site to shoot and analyze, you can find that as he entered the straight, Zhou Yuang's stride lengthened further. This increase in stride length made him seem to be running less "hard" than the Japanese player Ando Shogo in the ninth lane. However, if you observe carefully, you can know that Zhou Yuang's speed in the latter part of the race did not fall behind because of his seemingly "not working hard" state. He even caught up with the rhythm of Marcus in front of him more tightly!
After cutting into the straight road from the bend, Zhou Yuang's mind kept ringing with the little trick that Su Yu taught him - if you can't control your own rhythm and stride, then just try to remind yourself constantly in your mind.
This seems to be a very nonsensical skill, but after actual training and competition experience, Zhou Yuang dared to say that Su Xiaoyu was definitely not trying to trick him!
He constantly reminds himself of the rhythm in his mind. For him, this silent reminder of the rhythm can also become his own rhythm anchor point, and this silent reminder can allow him to subconsciously retain a little control over his rhythm when he is "running crazy" in the game.
Breathing, rhythm, stride!
While constantly reminding himself of this, the rhythm of Zhou Yuang's arm swings, hip thrusts, and footsteps gradually became faster and faster - that's it, I can be even faster! If I keep up this pace, I can go even faster!
As Zhou Yuang continued to move forward, in the final sprint, he not only maintained his third place advantage, but he even narrowed the gap between him and Marcus and Ismael in the final stage!
Sitting in the Chinese athlete zone seat in the live audience, Zheng Sheng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth nervously from the moment the game began. Until he saw the last 50 meters of the race, Zheng Sheng almost stood up from the audience and looked at Zhou Yuang on the track with his eyes full of brilliance!
"Good!! Good run!!"
After seeing that Zhou Yuang was actually able to beat Marcus and the others all the way to the finish line, Zheng Sheng suddenly realized that not only ordinary track and field fans, but even the national team's coaching staff had completely underestimated the talent of Zhou Yuang, a little guy who seemed to have been able to train in the national team with the help of Su Yu and Pei Dingshan! !
In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, the audience on the public screen was boiling with excitement after seeing Zhou Yuang successfully crossed the finish line with the third place in the group.
They had never expected that this young player who was crushed by Marcus at the start could actually withstand the pressure and rush all the way to the finish line and even take the third place!
You know, in this game, both Bradley Miller from the Bahamas and Ando Shogo from the Japanese team had surpassed Zhou Yuang in their previous results, but in this game, Zhou Yuang surpassed those two players with his strong performance!
At this moment, the pure spectators in the live broadcast room are in a very stable state——
【Wow! Zhou Yuang usually looks a little silly and like a comedy contestant, but I didn’t expect that he is so talented! 】
The rest of the track and field fans in the live broadcast room wanted to sigh - to be able to get third place in this group, this performance is more than just very strong.
At this moment, the electronic screen on the scene flashed, and the results of this group of preliminary contestants also appeared on the screen -
2018 World Youth Athletics Championships in Tampere, Finland, men's 200m preliminaries, group 2:
First place: Marcus Stewart (Team USA), 20.70 seconds (wind speed +1.1m/s), Q (direct qualification);
Second place: Ismael Schaeffers (South Africa), 20.78 seconds (wind speed +1.1m/s), Q;
Third place: Zhou Yuang (China), 20.88 seconds (wind speed +1.1m/s), PB, Q;
……!
After seeing Zhou Yuang's results, everyone was shocked again -
"Congratulations to Zhou Yuang! He successfully advanced to the men's 200m semi-finals and also successfully refreshed his personal best and broke the 21-second mark!!!"
