On the domestic Internet, netizens who were also following today's 4*100m relay preliminaries all breathed a sigh of relief after the commentary announced the results of the Chinese relay team.

As a loyal fan of the 4*100m event, Huang Wenye was naturally following today's competition in real time.

Throughout the preliminary round, he, like all other sports enthusiasts who were paying attention to the competition, was worried.

When Zhao Zhixuan and Wang Ming passed the baton smoothly, he secretly shouted "good job". But when Wang Ming and Meng Hao made a mistake in passing the baton, he couldn't help but curse.

Logically speaking, Meng Hao was a veteran member of the relay team, so it shouldn't have happened to him, but no one could explain the consequences of an accident.

Didn't the Japanese team, which has always been famous for its baton passing skills, also retreat from the competition last year due to baton passing errors?

The ever-changing situation on the field is also one of the fascinating charms of competitive sports.

Fortunately, when Meng Hao discovered his mistake, he also caught up in the third stage and successfully made up for his mistake. However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a slight delay in the pass between him and Su Zhe.

In this preliminary round, the Chinese relay team's passing between the second and third baton and the third and fourth baton was thrilling and made everyone nervous.

Fortunately, the Chinese team finally made it to the finals.

This brand new team, which was just formed during the World Championships, faced its first big test in a competition like the World Championships. It is gratifying that they can now hand in such an answer sheet.

Many sports celebrities also published their own commentary articles while waiting for the finals.

[The exam is not over yet, but the future is still promising. ]

This was Tao Sheng's comment on the performance of the Chinese relay team in the morning. He objectively stated the strengths and weaknesses of several relay team members in this competition, and naturally also pointed out Meng Hao's mistakes and chasing.

"It's not a big deal to make a mistake for a while. As long as we don't make the same mistake again, and we have enough tacit understanding and coordination, this team will only get stronger and stronger."

Most sports commentators are still optimistic about the future of the relay team. After all, Wang Ming is still a weak link in the current team. Even so, it has already possessed a certain level of strength.

Many people are looking forward to Chen Zhi's return and the relay team's performance will see a leap forward after it has two core members.

In the media area of ​​the Hillion Stadium in Country D, domestic media were interviewing Su Zhe and four others.

Xu Zhi passed the machete to Su Zhe and his team and said, "Thank you for your hard work, members of the relay team. First of all, congratulations on reaching the finals of the 4*100m relay at the World Championships. For a relay team that has undergone a major roster change and position swap due to retirements and injuries, what you have achieved in the preliminaries today can be said to be an excellent result."

As a well-known sports reporter for the Sports Channel, Xu Zhi has always had a very good relationship with athletes. He is willing to convey the behind-the-scenes factors of the athletes' difficulties in competition from an objective perspective in various interviews, which is also the reason why athletes have a good impression of him.

Just like in today's interview, he endorsed first and explained to the audience the difficulties faced by the current relay team.

Su Zhe and the others understood Xu Zhi's good intentions and nodded to him to express their gratitude.

Xu Zhi continued, "So in today's game, how do you feel about the team's coordination? Did everyone's performance meet their psychological expectations?"

The first to answer Xu Zhi's question were Zhao Zhixuan and Wang Ming. Wang Ming handed the microphone to Zhao Zhixuan and asked him to answer on his behalf.

Zhao Zhixuan simply thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Today's results are actually above the level of our daily training. As for me and Brother Wang, we both performed normally and smoothly. Of course, this is also due to the fact that Brother Wang and I are old members of the team. Brother Wang has always been a substitute player in training with the relay team. In terms of tacit understanding and running-in, Brother Wang and I should have the most advantages. The performance in today's competition is also the expected performance."

This was a very steady answer from Zhao Zhixuan, but when he handed the microphone to Meng Hao, Meng Hao was shocked.

“…I am very dissatisfied with my performance.”

Su Zhe, the other two, and Xu Zhi were all stunned for a moment. Wang Ming knew what Meng Hao was thinking, so he patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"In this preliminaries, the two baton passing errors were caused by my personal reasons. As a veteran member of the relay team, I have no reason to cover up such mistakes." Meng Hao looked straight at the camera, frowning and said, "In the preliminaries, my personal performance failed to enhance the team's strength, and almost dragged the team down. This is something I should reflect on. If it weren't for me..."

Wang Ming frowned at Meng Hao's answer. Seeing that he was about to continue, Wang Ming stopped him and continued, "The two people who have the most difficulty adapting to the team this time are Su Zhe and you. That's one thing. Another thing is that during the competition, no one can guarantee that everyone will not make any mistakes. Relaxing your mind and running well in the final is what we should think about now."

Su Zhe also said seriously: "Brother Meng, you only said that you made a mistake in passing the baton, but why didn't you mention your performance on the curve? Besides, as Brother Wang said, the preliminaries are over, and our goal now is to show our strength in the finals. Tonight is the final battlefield."

Xu Zhi also smiled and said: "I believe that the audience friends can also see the unity and care between everyone from the answers just now. I believe that such tacit understanding and friendship among everyone is also the guarantee of the overall cohesion and strength of our team! Then next, I hope that everyone will have a good rest and recover their physical strength in the afternoon. I and all the audience friends are looking forward to the performance of our relay team in the final tonight!"

After the interview, Wang Ming patted Meng Hao on the shoulder and said, "You are also a veteran in the team. Why are you still thinking about the mistake you made during the game? Old Meng, you can't change your mentality after the game!"

Meng Hao tapped his head and shook it, saying, "You're right. I was being too picky. The final tonight is the main point."

Zhao Zhixuan and Su Zhe both hugged Meng Hao and tried to comfort him as he fell into excessive self-blame.

"No one can never make mistakes." Su Zhe said: "The preliminaries are over, let's see who will win tonight."

After that, everyone had their meal, had massages from the team's masseurs, rested, and then gathered in the training room again.

At the last moment before heading to the stadium, Su Yinsheng had no intention of putting any more psychological pressure on these players. He looked at several members of the team and finally said a brief sentence.

"My only request to you guys is to run above your own level, keep your mind steady, calm and smooth, and remember that everything is possible on the field."

Su Yinsheng's last words were regarded as a good blessing by Su Zhe and others. After everyone nodded with a smile, they boarded the team bus together and headed to the game venue.

At 9:30 p.m., Su Zhe and others had completed their warm-ups in the preparation area.

Warming up with them were the other seven teams that would be competing against them on the field.

They are the United States team with a time of 37.65 seconds in the preliminaries, Jamaica with a time of 37.70 seconds, Britain with a time of 37.72 seconds, Japan with a time of 37.89 seconds, Brazil with a time of 38.07 seconds, France with a time of 38.20 seconds, and Trinidad and Tobago which performed poorly in the preliminaries and only ran a time of 38.40 seconds.

If we look at the normal performance levels of each team, the Chinese relay team's performance can almost be said to be at the bottom among all the teams.

But so what?

In the real arena, it all comes down to the actual performance of each team. For example, a team as strong as Trinidad and Tobago only barely made it to the finals in today's preliminaries.

Just as Su Yinsheng said, if they can be steady and smooth, and if they can pass the baton more smoothly, then even if they lack speed, they will not necessarily be relegated to last place in this game.

In the Chinese players' booth, Zheng Wensheng, Su Yinsheng and other players who came to watch the game have already taken their seats.

The men's 4*100m final was the last race of the night. The audience had been looking forward to it for a long time. The scene was noisy and special arrangements were made in the athletes' entrance area.

When the game was about to start, the introductions of the participating teams tonight began to appear on the big screen in the stage area. At the same time, the door to the stage area opened, and the team members came on stage one by one under the passionate introduction of the commentator.

In the commentary booth, Chris and Beerus have already introduced the Chinese players who are about to appear.

Chris: "Finally, the Chinese relay team came on stage! They are Zhao Zhixuan (Personal PB 10.12), Wang Ming (Personal PB 10.22), Meng Hao (Personal PB 10.16), and Su Zhe (Personal PB 10.2)! Su Zhe also finished fifth in the men's 100m event at this World Championships!"

Amid the roar of cheers and applause, Su Zhe and four other athletes wearing the Chinese team's sprint uniforms stepped onto the field. Following the staff's instructions, they faced the direction of the camera and waved to everyone.

When Su Zhe and his teammates smiled and waved towards the camera, there was a sudden wave of cheers at the scene, which made Zhao Zhixuan and others stunned for a moment and expressed their admiration for the enthusiasm of the audience.

In the commentary booth, Chris covered his chest and shook his head in admiration, "Oh, Chinese player Su, his smile looks even more impactful on the big screen."

Beside him, Beerus nodded in agreement.

In the media area, in addition to the Chinese and Japanese media who were already very familiar with Su Zhe, reporters from other countries were also somewhat surprised by the appearance of this athlete from China. For a moment, many reporters could not help but point their cameras at Su Zhe who was heading alone to the fourth leg of the race.

In tonight's match, the Chinese team is in the outermost ninth lane. To the left of the Chinese team is the Trinidad and Tobago team, which performed poorly in the preliminaries and ranked eighth. The strongest teams, the United States and Jamaica, are in the fourth and fifth lanes respectively.

When all the athletes finished measuring and pasting the starting line, the originally bustling scene gradually quieted down, and the audience began to hold their breath, leaving a quiet environment for the athletes to wait for the start of the race.

The moment the arena fell silent, all the players took a deep breath and entered the most tense and focused state of competition.

"Everyone, take your positions."

The referee's voice began to sound over the radio.

At the starting point, the first runners of the eight teams tensed up and waited for the next sound.

"Be prepared."

"Bang!"

The sound of the starting gun is the final signal for everyone to start!

The starters of the eight teams stepped off the starting blocks as soon as the gun was fired and started sprinting forward on the curve!

At the same time, all the audience at the scene began to let out their voices, giving the craziest cheers for the final match of the night. In just a moment, the originally very quiet stadium instantly entered a boiling state amid the thunderous cheers of the audience.

"Come on!!! Come on China!!!"

Outside the stadium, in front of the live broadcast screen, Chinese sports fans who were watching the game also opened their mouths and cheered in front of the screen.

Zhao Zhixuan, the first runner of the Chinese team, also performed very steadily in the first leg tonight. His starting speed remained at 0.128 seconds, which is definitely not weak among the eight teams!

The first runner of the US team unexpectedly made a mistake in his reaction to the shot, and the reaction phase took him 0.172 seconds, which was completely beyond the level that the US team should have.

Surprisingly, among all the teams, the one with the fastest reaction to the gunshot was not the strong teams like the United States, Jamaica and Britain, but Shiraishi Shota of the Japanese team. His reaction speed to the gunshot tonight reached an astonishing 0.117 seconds, which is almost close to the limit of the reaction speed to the gunshot - once the reaction speed to the gunshot is faster than 0.1 second, it will be judged as a jump shot.

With his speed advantage in responding to the gunshot, Shiraishi even surpassed the first runners of the American and Jamaican teams at the start of the first leg, ranking second only to the British team.

But halfway through the first leg, the Jamaican team's first runner also accelerated in the latter stages and gradually overtook Shiraishi. Suddenly, the first three positions in the first leg were unexpectedly fought by the British team, the Japanese team, and the Jamaican team!

Just like in the morning's preliminaries, the Trinidad and Tobago team once again made a major mistake in tonight's final. Their first runner was even slower in reacting to the shot than the United States team, which had already made a mistake!

The reaction speed of 0.233 seconds seemed to be mocking their completely out-of-standard start.

As for the Chinese team, Zhao Zhixuan's start and stability also laid a certain advantage for him. In the first leg of the race, he unexpectedly maintained the fifth position and was not successfully overtaken by the Brazilian, French and Trinidad and Tobago teams behind him throughout the whole process.

At the second leg's preliminary run, Wang Ming also saw Zhao Zhixuan's advantage at the moment. He no longer considered anything else but concentrated on waiting for Zhao Zhixuan to reach the starting mark.

Stay steady!

This is the only thought in Wang Ming's mind, and he is doing it so firmly!

When Zhao Zhixuan arrived at the starting mark, Wang Ming immediately started running at the preliminary line and began his own acceleration process.

Behind him, Zhao Zhixuan and Wang Ming had already established a very good understanding of each other. He did not need to slow down, but continued to run forward. When Wang Ming completed his acceleration process in the pre-running area, they both arrived at the baton passing area at the same time. As Wang Ming completed his acceleration, Zhao Zhixuan also sent out a baton passing signal behind him.

“Brother Wang!”

"catch!"

With just three simple words, Wang Ming carried out Zhao Zhixuan's instructions without hesitation, and steadily took the baton and sprinted into the second straight track.

Wang Ming knew very well that his speed was no advantage over the second runners of other teams. All he could do was to run as fast as he could, avoid making mistakes, and avoid becoming a drag on the team.

Even though he is tense, Wang Ming has done very well so far!

Behind him, the Brazilian team made a mistake in the pass between the first and second batons. After finally completing the pass, the Brazilian players shouted loudly on the track to cheer for their next teammates. This move also affected the French team and the Trinidad and Tobago team, as these two teams also made some mistakes in the pass.

The first runner of the Trinidad and Tobago team was very angry about the behavior of the Brazilian player. He loudly scolded him for violating the rules of the game and affecting other players. Suddenly, there was a slight chaos in the first runner's baton passing area.

The second runners of the Brazilian team and the French team were both strong. Even though they made some mistakes, they quickly adjusted their status and started to sprint forward. As the second runners of the two teams sprinted, Wang Ming in the front clearly felt the pressure from behind.

But he is a veteran with many years of experience. Even when he felt someone approaching from behind, he did not give in. Instead, he tried his best to control his breathing and rhythm of the sprint, stabilizing his own pace and stride, and not letting himself lose control due to the influence of his surroundings.

When the second runners of the Brazilian and French teams were about to pass the baton to the third runner, Wang Ming also arrived at the third runner passing area!

Meng Hao! Stay calm!

Wang Ming muttered to himself.

At the same time, Meng Hao had already seen him reach the starting mark, and he started quickly, increased his speed, and quickly completed his starting acceleration in the pre-running area.

Very good acceleration!

Watching Meng Hao's movements, Wang Ming's eyes lit up. When the two reached the best passing position in the passing area, Wang Ming shouted loudly: "Brother Meng, catch it!"

This time, Meng Hao's movements were not wrong at all, and Wang Ming's pass was also very stable and fast.

"good!"

In the Chinese zone player seat, Zheng Wensheng saw the second and third runners' smooth baton passing and applauded. Su Yinsheng also nodded at the same time. So far, the team members have successfully achieved what he said about stability and smoothness, which is enough to lay a solid foundation for the final result of the Chinese relay team.

“Come on! Come on!!”

In front of the live broadcast screen, Huang Wenye, many sports fans like Huang Wenye who were concerned about the relay race, and even ordinary spectators, all couldn't help but tense up because of the tense and intense competition on the field.

When Meng Hao took over the baton, the third runners of the Brazilian and French teams were already in the same position as him. This was a speed competition on the curve!

The Chinese team is in lane nine, the outermost lane. Although theoretically, athletes in lane nine are least affected by the centrifugal force of the curved track and are best able to run at the speed of a straight track, in track races, lane nine is usually assigned to the bottom four athletes in the semi-finals.

No one can explain the details of this kind of metaphysics on the track.

What really determines the results on the field is the actual performance of the athletes in the game.

Perhaps it was because too much frustration had accumulated during the morning preliminaries, so at this moment in the finals, Meng Hao had an urge to release the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for the entire day.

He took deep breaths, controlled his breathing rate, and subconsciously increased his pace on the track.

Due to the theoretical biological advantages of the ninth track for athletes, Meng Hao indeed ran out of almost all his strength on this track as he did on the straight track!

The impact of centrifugal force on him has been reduced to a certain extent. He does not need to spend more energy on fighting against centrifugal force like he did in the preliminaries in the morning.

In the commentary booth, Chris shouted in amazement: "Oh! The third runner from China! He is very fast in the corners! He has left the Brazilian and French runners who were once catching up with him behind again!"

There were also exclamations from the audience, followed by even louder cheers of encouragement.

The entire Hillion Stadium was in a frenzy of atmosphere. At the front of the track, the Jamaican athlete had already taken the first position. The British third runner was not far behind the Jamaican team. The second and third runners of the American team did not pass the baton smoothly either, so the Japanese team was still in the third position.

The real-time changes on the court are really hard to predict. No one would have thought that at this moment when the halfway point of the game was over, the US team would still only be in fourth place.

Meng Hao's speed in the corner temporarily left behind the Brazilian and French players behind him. He tried his best to complete the final sprint in the corner - the handover with the fourth baton was already in sight!

At the fourth leg's preliminary running line, Su Zhe was already fully prepared, his eyes fixed on the starting mark behind him, his gaze sharp.

Meng Hao, we’re here!

At the same time as Meng Hao reached the starting line, Su Zhe quickly started to accelerate on the preliminary run line. The short 10-meter preliminary run area passed in a flash. When entering the baton passing area, Su Zhe had already completed his own speed acceleration. When approaching the best position for passing the baton, Meng Hao decisively called out: "Su Zhe, catch it!"

This time, Meng Hao did not hesitate too much, but chose to completely trust Su Zhe after passing the baton.

And Su Zhe lived up to his trust and expectations. He firmly grabbed the baton and quickly sprinted towards the finish line!

"Good! Well done!"

In the Chinese zone seat, Zheng Wensheng showed a look of joy on his face. Up to now, the Chinese team is still in the fifth position, and now it is the last baton that Su Zhe is in charge of!

After overcoming the difficulty of passing the baton, in the final sprint, Su Zhe's past strength instantly raised everyone's expectations to the highest point!

After Suzhe, the Brazilian team and the French team also completed the last pass of the baton. Due to many mistakes, the Trinidad and Tobago team was far behind and had no power to catch up.

In front of the Chinese team, the fourth runner of the American team, Gate, lived up to his status as a famous 100-meter runner. After successfully taking over the baton, he surpassed the fourth runner of the Japanese team, Yuki Minamiyama, at an extremely domineering speed. He was still sprinting, trying to surpass the fourth runner of the British team who was further ahead.

The last runners of the Brazilian and French teams are also trying to catch up with Su Zhe, but for Su Zhe who has completed the initial acceleration phase and entered the state of maintaining a fast run, he is confident that he will not give the people behind him a chance to surpass him in this 100-meter race!

Just as Su Zhe was confident, the fourth runners of the Brazilian team and the French team, Adrian, were surprised to find that not only did they fail to close the gap with the Chinese player, but the gap between them was even widened!

How is that possible?!

Is there such a huge gap in strength between them? !

The fourth runners of the Brazilian and French teams were filled with incredible emotions. The fourth runner from the Chinese team was stronger than they had imagined!

In the audience stands, all the spectators were already caught up in this frantic final battle. Everyone was shouting until their voices broke. Even Chris and Beerus in the commentary booth had their voices turned hoarse.

"Gate has already approached Baragon of the British team, while Shilm in front still has a certain advantage for the time being!"

"Su Zhe of the Chinese team is closing in on Japanese player Yuki Minamiyama, and the gap between the two is gradually narrowing!"

"The last 20 meters of sprint!"

Su Zhe's eyes were fixed on Nanshan Yuki in front of him. There was still a certain distance between them. The Japanese team performed very well today, but the Chinese team also performed to the fullest tonight.

After entering the sprint stage, Yuki Minamiyama also showed his status as Japan's top player. Even though there were top players such as Gait, Hilm and Baragon ahead of him, he kept chasing.

Nanshan Yuki has not given up hope of a final sprint, is he going to give up so easily?

This is impossible!

Su Zhe kept adjusting his breathing rhythm, relying on his own ability to accelerate in the later stages, constantly trying to close the distance between himself and Nanshan Yuxi.

3 meters, 2 meters, 1 meter...

In the final 20-meter sprint, with the two athletes having similar strength and performance, it was too difficult to make up for the gap that had previously existed.

The final 20 meters of sprint and sawing are more like a pursuit and competition of wills.

Go for it!

Don't give up any hope, no matter how slim it is.

Su Zhe is completing his final sprint stage with such a firm and unyielding determination.

Nanshan Yuki obviously also noticed that someone was gradually approaching him from behind, and he was also moving towards the finish line firmly, not leaving any extra energy for the pursuer who was getting closer and closer from behind.

When Jamaica's Hill was the first to make the push and cross the finish line, Gate and Baragon completed the push at almost the same speed.

Nanshan Yuki also completed his sprint shortly afterwards, followed closely by Su Zhe who was already very close to him.

It’s the fifth!

Only the fifth...

After crossing the finish line, Su Zhe clenched his fists with some regret. Whether in the preliminaries in the morning or the finals at this moment, he still failed to achieve a depressing overtake.

In front of him, Nanshan Yuki, who was also completing the buffer, looked back and saw Su Zhe, with a look of surprise and fear. Then, he gave Su Zhe a thumbs up to express his admiration.

In the Chinese contestant seat, Zheng Wensheng showed a gratified smile.

Su Zhe did his best, and the guys on the relay team also did their best!

Fifth place!

Zheng Wensheng clenched his fists in front of him and danced excitedly - this is really, great!
