Because there were many sprinters participating, the games adopted a group stage format.
Shi Xi tied her hair into a high ponytail, looking both cool and beautiful.
While she was preparing, Bai Cangyang and Li Jinfan took over Shi Xi's position as "temporary reporter".
"Is Instructor Shi Xi confident of winning first place in the group?" Bai Cangyang asked jokingly.
"The top two teams in the group will advance." Shi Xi's eyes crinkled as she said, "I'll do my best to get into the top two."
Li Jinfan gave Shi Xi a fist pump in encouragement: "Sister Xi, you can definitely do it!"
Xu Shanshan, who was standing next to her, said, "Sister Xi, just follow me. I'll lead the way."
"Can I still carry this with me?" Li Jinfan asked.
"What I mean is, keep up with my pace," Xu Shanshan said with a smile. "I'm pretty good at sprinting."
Sprinting is all about explosive power.
Shi Xi remembered that Xu Shanshan was the previous year's sprint champion.
Bai Cangyang also remembered and asked, "Is Shanshan confident in winning the sprint championship again?"
Xu Shanshan paused for a moment, then said, "I remember there are sprinters participating this year, and I will do my best."
They all clearly thought of Lu Wancheng.
However, Lu Wancheng was not in the same group as them.
Bai Cangyang encouraged them, "I wish you both the best of luck in advancing from the group stage!"
Shi Xi smiled, her eyes crinkling.
She is confident if it's just running.
When Shi Xi was learning ancient martial arts, he was taught not to show off too much in front of others.
Let's aim for second place.
We can't afford to fail to even make it to the finals.
Upon hearing the gunshot, Shi Xi waited a moment for Xu Shanshan beside her before running out.
Shi Xi then followed closely behind Xu Shanshan.
Xu Shanshan lived up to her reputation as the previous sprint champion. She reacted quickly, and her legs seemed to be on fire, making her run incredibly fast.
Shi Xi followed behind her and got second place in the group.
Both players have qualified and are guaranteed a spot in the next round.
Bai Cangyang and Li Jinfan were dumbfounded when they saw the two's results.
They know Xu Shanshan is capable.
But they never expected that Shi Xi, who looked so weak and frail, could actually come in second!
When the results came out, even the professional sports commentators in the commentary room were stunned.
"Xu Shanshan's result is outstanding! She ran 13.2 seconds! I remember that the standard for a second-level sprinter is about 13 seconds." Commentator A clicked his tongue and said, "The little girl is quite amazing. If she were a bit younger, she might be able to join the sprint team."
Commentator B: "Shi Xi is also good, 14 seconds. She looks weak and frail, but I didn't expect her to have such strong explosive power."
Commentator A nodded, "Her high jump just now was also good, although her form was completely wrong, she still managed to clear it!"
"Being able to jump over it is awesome," commentator B said.
Upon hearing the commentator's voice, the viewers in the live chat cheered.
[Just qualifying is already a huge achievement! My daughter Xixi is so promising!]
Xu Shanshan is truly amazing!
Even the most amazing people can't compare to our Lu Wancheng.
After the commentary team finished their evaluation, Bai Cangyang and Li Jinfan went to interview Xu Shanshan and Shi Xi.
"Slow down, slow down." Li Jinfan handed over a towel and water. "Catch your breath first."
"Thanks."
Xu Shanshan asked, panting, "How far did I run?"
"Xu Shanshan 13.2s, Sister Xi 14s," Li Jinfan said. "They both advanced, congratulations!"
The comments section was filled with cheers and applause.
The women's 100-meter sprint is divided into two rounds: the group stage and the final.
There were 24 participants in the sprint, divided into three groups of eight.
The top two from each group, plus the two with the best scores, for a total of eight people, will advance to the finals.
The final round will be between these eight people to determine the final rankings.
Shi Xi and Xu Shanshan are both in the top two of their group, securing their place in the finals.
