Gu Lingfeng looked at Su Nan speechlessly, "You didn't participate?"
Sunan sipped his milk tea, pretending not to hear.
Gu Lingfeng: “…”
The 100-meter race consists of three rounds. The 28 registered boys are divided into four groups, with 7 players in each group. The top three in each group will enter the semi-finals. The 12 players who enter the semi-finals will run another round, and the top eight will enter the finals.
There are not so many rounds for girls. There are only 11 people registered. After two rounds, they are divided into two groups of 5+6. Finally, the top eight will be selected according to their scores to enter the finals.
The 100-meter race is very fast, with one set taking only ten seconds, and the slower ones taking only twenty seconds. It should be rare to see a run that takes more than half a minute.
The girls started first, and both teams finished quickly. When the results came out, some were happy, others worried. Many people had conflicting feelings. Those who made it to the finals were both happy to have made it, yet worried about having to run again. Those who didn't made it were equally upset, but also relieved that they didn't have to run anymore.
Not all contestants come to the show voluntarily; many are forced to join by their companies, with no choice. They're also not like Sunan, who doesn't choose to participate if she wants to. They have to sign up regardless of whether they like it or not. Winning a prize isn't the most important thing; getting more screen time is.
The girls' preliminaries ended and the boys' competition began. Zhao Si was in the second group. Running was easy for Zhao Si. He didn't need to use his brain at all. He just had to look at the goal and rush forward.
But Zhao Si was extremely serious today. While the girls were competing, he started warming up, jogging and stretching. By the time the boys started preparing for the competition, he had already started doing high leg raises and push-ups.
The other runners saw him warming up and joined in. They knew Zhao Si's strength; they had witnessed his speed in the 4x200 relay. It was a foregone conclusion that Zhao Si would be the champion. So, if the champion was warming up, how could they fall behind?
Attitude, apart from anything else, attitude must be correct, as so many netizens are watching.
The first group of competitions ended quickly. Zhao Si took a break from his busy schedule to cheer them on. Huang Hanhao took first place. He was big and powerful, and he ran like a bulldozer.
Zhao Si quite likes Huang Hanhao and is really happy for him, but he is sure to win the championship today!
Hearing the command "Get in position", Zhao Si imitated the others and walked to the starting block, bent his knees and half-knelt, supported himself on the ground with his hands, spread his legs, one in front and the other behind, and stepped on the footrests of the starting block with both feet in turn.
Upon hearing the "Ready" command, the athletes take a deep breath, lift their hips, and simultaneously move their body center of gravity forward, forming a body posture with their hips higher than their shoulders and their shoulders over the starting line. The soles of their feet are pressed against the starting blocks and the footboards. They concentrate their attention, listen quietly to the gunshot, and prepare to start.
Zhao Si took the time to glance at the audience. Gu Lingfeng was staring at him intently. This discovery made his heart beat faster, and he smiled at the audience.
When the starting gun sounded, Zhao Si immediately came back to his senses, and his body started moving before his brain. He quickly pushed his hands off the ground, and at the same time, his legs quickly pushed off the starting blocks, shooting out like an arrow.
Zhao Si took the lead, and the other runners followed closely behind. They rushed forward, concentrating all their strength on their legs, and their stride frequency became faster and faster. The onlookers also cheered them on, and cheers and shouts rose one after another.
50 meters, 30 meters, 10 meters... More than 10 seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhao Si rushed across the finish line at full speed. He ran forward a few steps before stopping, then immediately turned around to look at Gu Lingfeng.
It was the first time for Gu Lingfeng to watch Zhao Si compete live. He was nervous and expectant. He felt his heart beating violently and his adrenaline soaring. He couldn't help but hold his breath and followed Zhao Si's pace carefully to the finish line.
The scene was completely incomparable to the live broadcast. In addition to the warm atmosphere, there were also Zhao Si's bulging muscles when he exerted force, his flying hair when he ran, his proud expression when he crossed the finish line, and the burning eyes and bright smile when he looked at him. These were all things he could not feel in the live broadcast.
When Zhao Si looked at him, Gu Lingfeng felt his heart skip a beat. He wanted to stand up and applaud Zhao Si, or even rush up to give him a warm hug, but there were too many people at the scene and so many cameras. He suppressed his legs that wanted to jump up and just smiled and waved to Zhao Si.
Zhao Si was very happy to get the response. The smile on his face grew visibly bigger and his mood became very good.
Sunan: “…”
Su Nan watched them show off their love and sat quietly beside them sipping milk tea. When Zhao Si looked over, he waved his hand to give face to the boss lady, and sighed in his heart that life is so difficult.
The second group of competition ended with Zhao Si and Gu Lingfeng exchanging glances, and the results were just released.
9.98 seconds!
Zhao Si ran into the legendary 10-second mark!
10 seconds, this is a level that countless professional athletes cannot break through in their entire lives, but now an idol in the entertainment industry, an amateur competition in a variety show, has actually broken it!
boom!
Just like clear water dropped into hot oil, the scene suddenly exploded and the Internet was also boiling.
“Oh my god!!! 9.98 seconds!!”
"Help!!!! Is this really a variety show I'm watching and not the World Championships??"
"Where on earth did this genius Zhao Si come from?!!"
"I'm not involved in the sports world. Can someone please explain to me what 9.98 seconds actually means?"
"Friendly reminder: Our country's current 100-meter record is 9.83 seconds, but there are only a handful of athletes who can run under 10 seconds."
