At 7 o'clock the next morning, Su Zhe, who had no training arrangements, was assigned by his father to watch a shooting competition. Although he felt it was a bit strange, Su Zhe simply called Zhou Tianjue, Chen Zhi and others to watch the shooting team's first gold medal match together.
When everyone arrived at the venue, they also met some national team members who also came to watch the game. Fortunately, the shooting team had reserved a lot of seats for themselves. After entering smoothly, everyone sat in the spectator seats and began to wait for the start of this first gold medal battle.
In this morning's competition, China's women's 10m air rifle athletes Chen Fei and You Yun will represent China in competing for the country's first gold medal in this Olympics.
Before that, in the qualifying round from 7:30 to 8:45, they will first compete for the top eight final spots among all the players. In the qualifying round, they have 75 minutes and a total of 40 designed bullets to qualify for the final.
In the Chinese team's spectator stands, many members of the shooting team also gathered there to cheer for Chen Fei and You Yun.
Zhou Tianjue, Su Zhe and others, because of the visit to the shooting training hall a few days ago, now became familiar with the members of the shooting team, especially Su Zhe. Many members of the shooting team patted him on the shoulder and expressed their affirmation of his 10-meter air pistol shooting ability.
"Haha, you left early that day, so you didn't see the look on our instructor Zhou's face when he came back."
During the casual chat before the game, Wang Yisheng smiled and told Su Zhe and others about Zhou Shoufu's reaction after Su Zhe and his group left a few days ago.
"When Coach Zhou came back, he saw us looking at Su Zhe's results, so he came over to take a look and asked us who got this result and that he was in pretty good shape." At this point, Wang Yisheng shook his head and continued, "I told him that the person who got this result was Su Zhe from the track and field team. He was stunned for a long time and asked if we were joking."
"Yes, yes!" Shu Zhan, a male member of the shooting team, also interrupted with a smile, "Oh, you didn't see the look on Lao Zhou's face that day. He immediately frowned and scolded us, saying - the track and field team's rapid-fire shooting can achieve such a result, what about you? Don't you want others to laugh at the shooting team's shooting accuracy being worse than that of the track and field team members?"
When Shu Zhan said this, everyone in the shooting team, including Zhang Minghao, burst into laughter.
Wang Yisheng added with a smile: "Later, we all urged Lao Zhou to quickly recruit Su Zhe to our shooting team. You see, the physical fitness and physical quality requirements of your track and field team are too high. The golden period is over in a blink of an eye. It's not like our shooting. We are not trying to poach him. Su Zhe has this shooting talent. As long as he comes to our shooting team and trains well, it won't be a problem for him to compete for decades!"
"Yes, Su Zhe, think about it, if one day you don't want to stay in the track and field team, why not join the shooting team!"
Although he knew that everyone on the shooting team was just joking, Su Zhe still did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, during these few words, Zhou Tianjue began to look at Wang Yisheng and the others with a wary look on his face, as if the shooting team was really trying to steal people from their track and field team.
Chen Zhi sat next to Su Zhe. He had never been to the shooting training gym with Su Zhe and the others before. It was only today that he knew for the first time that Su Zhe had this talent.
However, Chen Zhi could see that the shooting team members around him were joking, so he also said with a smile: "Hey, you guys on the shooting team shouldn't go too far. Our Xiaozhe is the treasure of the track and field team. Who would try to undermine him like you guys? Even if we retire early, with his level, wouldn't it be good for him to continue to be the coach of our track and field team?"
"Yeah! Not only the sprint coach, but also the 110-meter hurdle coach is fine!" Zhou Tianjue on the side pouted unhappily, and it seemed that he was also unhappy with the shooting team's "undermining".
Su Zhe, who was blocked in his seat by the crowd, looked at Chen Zhi and others after hearing what was said, then looked at Wang Yisheng and others who were laughing out loud, and realized that everyone was having a good time chatting, and in the end he could only lie down with a smile and let everyone talk nonsense.
As everyone was chatting, the start time of the qualifying round was approaching. Just before the start, the scene became quiet again, and then after the players came on stage, they gave warm applause.
There are a total of 56 players in the qualifying rounds, including two girls from the Chinese team who are wearing semi-leather shooting suits and holding air rifles, looking particularly elegant and handsome.
"Tsk, after all, the shooting team's uniforms are more handsome."
After seeing the shooting suits of the air rifle players, Zhou Tianjue couldn't help but let out a sound of envy.
"That's true." Zhang Minghao also looked envious at the shooting suits worn by the air rifle players.
There is no way. For these young athletes, whether it is this kind of gun shooting sport or the semi-leather spliced shooting suit, they are all good things that hit their aesthetic sore spot.
After the players got ready, the scene quickly entered a quiet phase. In the next limited time, the players will have an independent trial shooting time, during which they can adjust their own state and try shooting to find their own shooting feeling.
On the field, near the spectator seats, a long row of giant display screens are hung to display the athletes' shooting results in real time. When the test shooting begins, the display screens also start to work, and the number of rings on the screens begins to jump according to the athletes' real-time test shooting results.
Su Zhe and others quickly found the display screens belonging to Chen Fei and You Yun. Looking at the data displayed on the screens, the members of the shooting team nodded. The five shots they had fired at the moment had all hit the 10th ring, and the scores were all above 10.3 rings. With this test firing status, the next formal qualifying round would naturally not be a problem.
After staring at the screen hanging above for a long while, Zhang Minghao couldn't help but turn his head and complain: "The size of the 10-meter target shown on the screen is too misleading, isn't it? I always thought that this target was at least the size of a washbasin, until I went to the shooting hall a few days ago. It really taught me how naive I was."
After a pause, Zhang Minghao continued indignantly: "Not to mention that the target of the air rifle is smaller than that of the pistol, the position of the 10th ring of the bull's eye is not as big as the eye of a pinhole? This target is only the size of a 1-dollar coin, but it is enlarged like this on this display. Isn't it really deceiving the public???"
Zhang Minghao's words made everyone in the shooting team laugh again.
Indeed, to many passers-by who do not know much about shooting, shooting does not seem to be that difficult. In fact, only after really getting close to this project and understanding all the details personally can one understand the difficulty and charm of this project.
After the test firing, everyone, whether it was the shooting team or Chen Fei and You Yun who were competing in the qualifying round, were in a very calm state.
Shooting is China's strong sport, and women's 10m air rifle is the best among its strong sports.
With Chen Fei and You Yun, the two main players of the shooting team, a place in the top eight of the qualifying round is naturally a piece of cake.
Among all the people watching the game, apart from the spectators, the most nervous ones should be Zhang Minghao and Zhou Tianjue. To be honest, I am afraid that they themselves would not be so nervous if they were participating in the competition. They were seen looking at the status of Chen Fei and You Yun on the court from time to time, and occasionally looking up at the display screen hanging above, and even their breathing seemed to be more cautious than usual.
Sitting in his seat, Su Zhe also watched the performance of the two female shooters of the Chinese team on the field with a serious face - from the first shot to now, two groups of 20 bullets in total have been fired, and the scores of Chen Fei and You Yun are still maintained above 200 points.
Every time they fired a shot, Zhou Tianjue and Zhang Minghao took a deep breath, until they saw that the number on the ring count was still above 10, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
“This is too scary…” Zhang Minghao finally couldn’t help but complained quietly, “I just counted, and among the top 8, the worst scorer had 103.5 in one group and 104.7 in another group!!”
When Zhang Minghao said this, his voice revealed a sense of despair: "Every shot scored more than 10 rings, and this is the worst result among the top eight! I feel like my shooting dream is shattered at this moment..."
As Zhang Minghao said, in the current qualifying tournament, the scores of the top 15 players were very close. Even if the scores were expanded to the top 20, the worst scores were 103.4 for a group and 104.2 for a group.
This may sound incredible, but it is actually happening right now.
In such a competition, any mistake made by a shooter could instantly cause him to fall into a quagmire from which he cannot climb out.
For a shooter, amazing stability and the ability to withstand psychological stress are essential elements when firing each bullet.
At this time, in addition to the audience on site, the domestic Olympic live broadcast channels are naturally also paying attention to this first gold medal battle. In the specially arranged live broadcast room, the commentator and the special guests invited to the scene are also describing the calm yet fierce battle situation to the audience watching the live broadcast.
"As the pillars of our country's women's 10m air rifle, Chen Fei and You Yun are completely trustworthy, including their ability to withstand pressure, which I think is completely fine." Special guest Wang Wei commented calmly: "In the qualifying stage, all they have to do is keep a calm mind and let their strength be displayed steadily and smoothly."
"As long as they don't take it lightly, they will have no problem getting a place in the qualifying tournament."
Just as Wang Wei said, when the time turned to 8:30, Chen Fei was the first to complete her 4 sets of shooting, with a total score of 420.6, which made her firmly stand in the first place in the preliminaries. You Yun made a slight mistake in the design of the third set of bullets, and finally ranked third with a score of 417.8 and advanced to the finals.
Zhang Minghao and Zhou Tianjue didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the end of the qualifying round. Compared with the track and field competition, the shooting competition might not seem so intense, but this calm scene with undercurrents made them feel suffocated.
When Zhang Minghao saw the final results of the qualifying round, he shook his head: "Oh my god, this competition is too exciting? 40 shots, and every shot is above 10 rings! It's really hard to believe how they did it..."
Although Zhou Tianjue had a cold face and looked cool and silent, you could tell from his eyes that he was also shocked by the final number.
During the one-hour break after the qualifying round, Zhang Minghao and the members of the shooting team had another lively chat, with the focus still on the upcoming final.
"With these two big guys, is today's first gold medal secure?"
In response to Zhang Minghao's question, the members of the shooting team all smiled and did not give a direct answer. After asking this question, Zhang Minghao also realized the stupidity of his question.
In a competition, no matter how it looks before the game, the final result can only be seen after all the dust has settled.
This is true from track and field to shooting.
With great anticipation, everyone soon waited for the final to begin.
Unlike the qualifying round, in the final, the eight players will first conduct two sets of shooting, each set of three bullets. After these two sets of shooting are completed, the two players with the worst results will be eliminated directly.
After that, one player will be eliminated every two shots until the final champion is decided.
After sorting out the elimination rules for this final, Zhang Minghao and Zhou Tianjue became nervous again, while Su Zhe remained very calm and sat in his seat.
Chen Zhi, who was standing by, saw Su Zhe in deep thought and asked, "Xiaozhe, what are you thinking about?"
Su Zhe was stunned for a moment, then looked towards the competition field, and after a moment's hesitation, he answered, "I was wondering, if I were the one standing on the competition field right now, would I be able to maintain such a calm and restrained state, and such amazing stability, and get a good enough result?"
This answer made Chen Zhi stunned for a moment, then he patted Su Zhe on the shoulder and said, "Each event has different requirements for the competitive state of athletes. In our arena, if you remain so calm, your state will only become colder."
Chen Zhi's words finally brought Su Zhe back to his senses, and he smiled and nodded.
Yes, whether in sprinting or the 110-meter hurdles, an excited and passionate state is what can better motivate athletes to achieve good results.
Although he has mastered various shooting techniques and has also conducted a lot of shooting training in the system, he is actually still an orthodox track and field athlete. All he should think about is not the competition status on the shooting range, but the passion on the track and field.
Putting the thoughts in his mind behind him, Su Zhe and everyone else watched the final attentively.
It must be said that this is a truly thrilling race that appears calm but actually makes people's nerves fluctuate!
Chen Fei and You Yun are truly the ace players of the shooting team. Even in a competition where any slight mistake could lead to elimination, they both performed at their best with calmness and composure.
After the first two rounds of shooting, both of them entered smoothly into the next elimination round. In the shooting round after shot, both of them kept their calmness and continuously shot down the players from other countries one by one.
When there were only four players left on the field, it became a three-way battle between the two Chinese players and the players from the United States and Russia.
Bang, bang!
After two more shots, the Russian player was the first to be shot down by the crowd. At this point, at least a silver and a bronze medal were already in his pocket, but this was not the ultimate goal of the shooting team, and naturally it was not the ultimate goal of Chen Fei and You Yun on the field!
gold medal!
This is their only goal, and that of the shooting team, in their first Olympic match!
In the domestic live broadcast room, special guest Wang Wei also fell into a slightly nervous state.
"Whether we can secure the gold medal in advance depends on how the girls take the next two shots!"
Whether it was the countless spectators at the scene or in front of the TV waiting for the first gold medal to be born, they all held their breath at this moment.
As Chen Fei's two shots fell, the ring numbers of 10.5 and 10.7 were clearly visible!
So what about Youyun? !
10.3 and 10.6!
Chen Fei and You Yun's results were both very good, and the final result of the American player Paeva was... 10.1 and 10.7 rings!
"Great!!! Great job!!"
When Paeva's final number of rings was announced, Wang Wei in the commentary room was the first to cheer, and at the game site, the members of the shooting team also cheered.
Even though the last two shots have not been fired yet, the first gold medal has already fallen into the hands of the Chinese team!
On that day, Su Zhe and others celebrated with the shooting team members for Chen Fei winning the first gold medal before leaving.
After this first Olympic gold medal fell into the pocket of the Chinese team, it seemed to indicate that in the next Olympic schedule, the Chinese team will also ride the waves and move forward!
After watching the shooting team's first gold medal on the morning of July 25, Su Zhe and others resumed their Olympic training. From adapting to the venue to consolidating various skills, these are the key points they need to train.
For Su Zhe, there is an even more important task - in the next 5 days, Su Yinsheng and the physical trainers and nutritionists of the coaching staff have specially formulated a series of physical training plans for him in view of the series of competitions that Su Zhe is about to face, so as to ensure the stability and accumulation of his physical condition while training.
Amidst such intense preparations, the men's 100m preliminaries finally kicked off at 7:00 p.m. on August 1.
In the player preparation area, Su Zhe looked at Chen Zhi and felt a little magical.
"What's wrong?" Chen Zhi rubbed Su Zhe's head and asked with a smile.
"Ah." Su Zhe smiled and slapped Chen Zhi's hand away: "Brother Xiaozhi, when will you stop rubbing my head?" As he said that, Su Zhe looked at the familiar faces who were warming up in the warm-up area.
"I was thinking, more than a year ago, I never thought that I would be able to stand on the same field with you, and on the Olympic field..."
After hearing what Su Zhe said, Chen Zhi showed a trace of emotion on his face, and then smiled and said: "Yeah, I didn't expect that the little guy who followed me back then has grown to this extent now!"
Su Zhe also smiled when he heard this: "Well, Brother Xiaozhi, see you on the court next time!"
When Chen Zhi heard this, he naturally smiled and said, "Yes, let's see you on the court."
These words from the two not only express their expectation for their meeting in a real competition, but also a blessing to each other - in the preliminaries, Su Zhe was placed in the third preliminaries group, while Chen Zhi was placed in the seventh preliminaries group.
If they really want to meet on the field, then at least both of them need to enter the men's 100m semi-finals at the same time!
After smiling at each other, Su Zhe and Chen Zhi simply separated and began their respective warm-up preparations.
At this time, countless viewers and sports enthusiasts on the domestic Internet have begun to look forward to the men's 100m preliminaries.
In the Athletics Kingdom forum, many self-proclaimed jinxes began to tremble in fear again, saying they dared not watch the competition. Someone else started a thread and began to analyze the possibility of Su Zhe and Chen Zhi entering the semi-finals at the same time.
Topic: [The preliminary group list is out, I bet 5 yuan that Chen Dashen and Zhe Shao will enter the semi-finals together! ]
1L: [Damn, this is the best. Judging from the performance of Chen Da Shen and Zhe Shao in the previous period, it will be no problem for them to enter the semi-finals, but why am I still so panicked? ]
2L: [Flustered +1, I am such a jinx that I dare not watch the live broadcast of the game. I plan to wait until the game is over before watching the replay...]
5L: [I took a look at the list of Zhe Shao's third group and Chen Da Shen's seventh group. They look okay. Even though Zhe Shao's group has Sandy and Shilm, they are all defeated by Zhe Shao! I believe there will be no problem! ]
7L: [I hope everything goes well for Zhe Shao and Chen Da Shen! There are 8 preliminary groups in total, the top two in each group will be selected, and the top 8 players from the remaining players will enter the semi-finals... With so many people, I think no matter how you count, Zhe Shao and Chen Da Shen will definitely have no problem! ]
Not only in the track and field kingdom forums, but also on Weibo, Olympic-related topics are now dominating the hot search lists.
The men's 100m event, whether from the perspective of representing humanity's pursuit of the ultimate in speed or its popularity among people all over the world, is enough to attract everyone's attention.
Moreover, in the Olympic Games held every four years, this level of attention is more prominent than ever before.
[Ah, our athletes participating in the men's 100m event today are Su Zhe and Chen Zhi, right? I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder what kind of results they can achieve? I wish them success in reaching the semifinals! ]
[No matter what the results are, this is the first time that two athletes from our country have qualified for the Olympic men's 100m. Just by standing on the field, they have created a new history! Just thinking about it is really great! ]
[Wuwuwu, although that's the case, wouldn't it be even better if they could advance to the semifinals at the same time?]
While the Internet was abuzz with discussions, in the main venue of the Tokyo Olympics, in the viewing area belonging to the Chinese team, Qiu Zhongwen, Zheng Wensheng and others were waiting nervously, looking forward to the performances of Su Zhe and Chen Zhi.
"Let's begin!"
When the first group of preliminaries appear on the stage, it means that the competition is about to officially begin!
The author has something to say: _(:з」∠)_Aww, starting tomorrow, it’s the official Olympic Games series! (Suddenly excited)
