Chapter 113 Before the semifinals,
...
The lounge area on the other side of the track
Zhao Lin's coach is being "entangled" by Liu Ren at this moment.
Just now, when Zhao Lin's results came out, it was a little excited. The leaders, including other coaches, athletes, staff, all applauded. And they were extremely excited and excited. This was the first athlete in China that ran so close to the 10-second mark.
It was obviously a great breakthrough, and they had heard Lin Mu and the leaders report before. Zhao Lin didn't run out of the best condition just now. He hasn't fully adapted to the adjustment yet. What if he had completely adapted? Then?
It may break 10 seconds!
The first yellow race is to break 10 seconds! Such results may seem unusual to European and American audiences, and even some top athletes disdain. But in Chinese and even Asians, it is definitely a great thing. This will not be the honor of athletes alone. Everyone in the delegation will inevitably have a reward. Even if other events are completely black, they can walk back to Yanjing with their heads raised!
The leaders were a little more reserved, after all, they were close. Before they arrived, they could still stay. They just smiled and applauded constantly. The staff and some coaches were not close to Lin Mu, and they were not doing anything, just congratulations with excitement.
But Liu Ren, who brought the relay team to the field today, was not reserved and broke out in an instant!
"Xiaolin, Xiao Zhao is OK! Let's break this trip and go back for 10 seconds. Let the little Japanese record go to hell. We want to be the number one yellow type! And, tomorrow's finals are over, Xiao Zhao and Xiao Yang will be handed over to me..."
Half hugged Lin Mu, I wish I could stick it to Lin Mu. The "heavy" body was squeezed beside Lin Mu, and it made a man who was 179 and weighed more than 70 kilograms look particularly slim.
He is really happy, not only for Xiaolin but also for Zhao Lin, but also for himself and for the track and field team. Zhao Lin can run 10 seconds in a single event, and Yang Zuyao now has the strength to run within 10 seconds and 10 seconds. As the second of the four relay players, if he has some tacit cooperation, he will definitely have a chance to excel in the relay event! He is now the head coach of the relay.
As for tacit understanding, it is a polished out. Besides, do we lack tacit understanding? No! Even if China has not been ranked top 1,200-meter players in Asia before, the relay has never been too weak.
"Old Liu... I can't breathe... Xiao Zhao left it to you, but Xiao Yang shouldn't be too cruel... No. 28..."
Lin Mu was indeed a little oppressed by Liu Ren's actions, so he hurriedly replied to his words, and he tried hard to squeeze out Liu Ren's arms. Not to mention, he was an athlete after all, and although he was fat now, his strength was really not weak!
"Look, the semi-finals list is out!"
The staff of the delegation shouted, attracted Liu Ren's attention and "rescued" Lin Mu. Lin Mu, who escaped from the clutches of the devil, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and turned his attention to the electronic screen showing the results.
It is extremely cruel to eliminate half of the 32 people directly, but at this time, except for those who really care about them, others obviously rarely pay attention to these frustrated people. All the concern and attention of competitive sports will only give to those who end up running to the end. 32 people, and then to 16 people. At this time, almost everyone was looking at the list of the 16 people that were printed on the electronic screen.
Ranking, name, nationality, number, rematch results, a translator of the delegation, pronounced the above word by word, from top to bottom. The third name, Zhao Lin, first in the fourth group, with a score of 10 seconds, and before him, there were only Montgomery and Green, who were the only two players who ran into 10 seconds in the previous competition of this World Championship.
As expected, since the rematch has ended, they have already figured out the results. But when they really saw the third place in the electronic screen, they were still very excited. Until they reached the eleventh place, Yang Zuyao. The delegation's atmosphere completely reached a climax. Although this result was slightly worse than the results of 14 and 15 in the next, it was only ranked 11th, but if they entered, they were in.
"Okay! OK!" Yu Weili kept applauding, his lips trembled slightly, and he kept shouting. At this time, he didn't know what he should say to express his emotions.
From the founding of the country to that special period, the Chinese track and field workers worked silently and silently. Then to the country reappearing on the world stage. Since then, generations of track and field workers have been striving to pursue higher, faster and stronger goals, and to show our China's own strength to Asia and the world.
Some of the names have long been forgotten, but they are the track and field people who will never forget them. Now a new group is coming, following the footsteps of their predecessors, and finally turning a new page.
The men's 100-meter, a pearl on the track and field, is the heaviest competition in all track and field events. Two athletes from our own country have entered the semi-finals at the same time, and depending on the results, one of them may have a great chance of reaching the finals. How can this not make them excited?
"Xiaolin, Xiaolin, very good! Xiao Zhao, Xiao Yang, come here, come here!" Luo Yi also blushed, pulled Lin Mu, waved to summon Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao.
He was the leader of the delegation, and when he went on the battle, he only thought that he could stabilize certain honors in traditional events. As for the track track, he only hoped that Liu Xiang, the hurdle, would have never dared to expect any major breakthrough on the 100-meter straight road that was directly confronted. This was a complete surprise. Now he didn't even care about how the hurdle was, how the hurdle could be compared with the 100-meter. This was a move that surpassed the boundaries of the race. What a great significance.
Looking at the three people around him, Luo Yi was very pleased and encouraged to speak kindly, only a wish was just about to make a wish!
The other people in the delegation faintly surrounded the leaders and the three of them. Looking at the leaders' earnest concerns, it was fake to say that they didn't envy, but they didn't say that they were jealous, let alone hatred. This was something they tried to fight.
"Have you reached this point? 10 seconds 01, I lost without any wickedness!"
A few meters away, except for their coach and Shen Bao who were relatively close to each other. Chen Jianhai and Shen Huan were on the periphery.
Shen Huan tried hard to control his expression, not wanting to show the regret and gloom in his heart, while Chen Jianhai was silent, looking at the electronic screen, then the two teammates in the inner circle were muttering.
After losing two games, he felt uneasy after the first game because he thought that his strength was equal, which was only one or two times. Then in Quancheng, he had a hard time under the crisis and finally lost again. This loss completely lost all his previous accumulation in the national team.
He failed to participate in the individual events of the World Championships, and if he did not make further results in the Olympics next year, he would not be able to enter. At one point, he was in a heavy mood, but at this moment, he felt relieved. He might be able to fight for Yang Zuyao and barely keep up, but Zhao Lin, he really couldn't keep up. If he participated in the World Championships this time, he felt that it would be possible to enter the semi-finals, but he himself knew that the hope would not be great.
Looking back on his sports career, he entered the Young Sports School at the age of 11, joined the track and field team of the Provincial Sports Academy at the age of 14, and joined the national team at the age of 22. Over the past ten years, he has been ups and downs all the way. From an ignorant young man to a young man who is arrogant in China.
Two national championship champions in 2000 and 2001 were injured before the 9th Games in 2001 and failed to participate. They joined the national team to participate in the Asian Games in 2002. From that time, he felt that the gap with foreign players was not even comparable to those top Asian players.
Looking back now, it seems that from that moment, Chen Jianhai felt that his mentality had changed.
If the foreigners can't catch up, and if they are sure, it will be difficult to catch up in the future. After practicing in China, they will be 10 seconds or 10 seconds or 20 seconds. So what if he finds that he seems to have no direction. He even thought that it may really be like foreign experts said that yellow people have the so-called limit.
Although he did not give up on continuing training, he seemed to be more focused on adjusting his status, as for breaking through himself...
But after the failure, and now, he seemed to have woken up in an instant, not without a chance, and the so-called limit may not be accurate.
There have been slackness and helplessness, but now Chen Jianhai has rekindled the idea of an athlete chasing him.
With silent efforts, even if I really can't catch up with you, then I have to know where my limit is!
"I also have a 4*100-meter race, I won't fall too far!" Chen Jianhai murmured silently in his heart.

"xx Sports News, at 1 a.m. on the 26th, Chinese sprinters Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao successfully advanced to the semi-finals with their total scores of third and eleventh in the men's 100m rematch of the 9th World Track and Field Championships..."

Since the early morning of August 26, major domestic websites have sent the latest news about the World Championships, and this 100-meter rematch is obviously the top priority. Various comments are even more enthusiastic. The Internet has just developed, and although the number of the first batch of netizens is not too large, it is also quite active. No matter how much you understand track and field or sprinting, you all rushed in.
"Come on Zhao Lin! Try to be the first Asian player to break 10 seconds!"
"Come on Zhao Lin, come on, Hua Xia, come on!"
"I have always been following Zhao Lin. I have watched his first outdoor game. Our pride is great!"
"Zhao Lin is powerful, Yang Zuyao is powerful, China will win!"
"The rematch was actually broadcast, I didn't even know... the semi-finals are still broadcasting!?"
"The one upstairs is not a Chinese, the appraisal has been completed! The rematch broadcast was broadcasted, and the news broadcast on the broadcast yesterday was previewed!"
Netizens were discussing enthusiastically in an excited and passionate atmosphere, and the noisy day did not stop. Before they could calm down, the situation at night pushed the atmosphere to a climax again.
"Now is a group of good news from Paris. In the men's 100m rematch of the World Championships of the World Championships held on the early morning of the 26th in Yanjing time, Zhao Lin, a 18-year-old Chinese athlete, won the first place in the group with a time of 10.01. At the same time, in the first group of the previous rematch, Chinese athlete Yang Zuyao also ran a good result of 10.13 seconds to rank third. The two successfully advanced to the semi-finals and became the first two people in my country to advance to the semi-finals of the 100m event of the World Championships. At the same time, this result also tied the best results of the Asian athletes in this event...

Yanjing time, at 7 pm on August 26, CCTV Channel 1 broadcasted the news as soon as it introduced the latest updates of national leaders. On the TV screen, in more than 20 seconds, while the two rematches were played, the broadcasting and host dictated the news from the World Championships. It was clearly transmitted to thousands of households.
As the highest-rated program in the country, after the broadcast of yesterday's few seconds, today's scene was even more sensational. Anyone who knows a little bit of knowledge can tell the difference.
...
Gu Heng’s home in Dongcheng District, Yanjing.
Gu Heng secretly turned on the light, turned off the bed, and moved cautiously. It was already the second half of the night. After getting up, he put on a piece of clothes and walked towards the living room.
"Lao Gu, what are you doing?"
Gu Heng's wife seemed to be awakened by the lights in the room and muttered.
"Watch TV, you must watch it today. Keep sleeping, don't worry about me." Gu Heng did not stop, and the voice finally came out of the living room.
The old lady also got up, grabbed a piece of clothing and walked towards the living room while putting it on, and complained, "What are you nervous about? You promised your son that you don't stay up late, can't you watch tomorrow?"
"Hey, can't sleep, right?! I told you that you must watch the game tonight. Don't tell your son that I'll go to bed after watching it, otherwise I won't be at ease!"
Gu Heng smiled and helped his wife to sit down on the sofa, and turned on the TV. After watching the game at 1 o'clock yesterday, he was excited for a long time and called Yu Weili's cell phone. The trouble was 3 o'clock before he fell asleep. After the son found out, he was very worried and called him, forcibly asking his father not to stay up late.
He agreed well, but when it was time, he couldn't control whether he agreed or not.
"What you said, old man..." The old lady kept complaining, but in the end she didn't force her wife to go back. She got up and poured a glass of water in front of the old man, and sat down with her.
She knew that he would never let go of these things in his life. And he knew even more that it was not easy this time. After marrying a sports person and following him for decades, how could she not understand some things?
She also believes that there must be many people across the country like the old man, waiting regardless of time and place.
There are indeed many people who are also paying attention, gathering in groups of three or five around the TV, looking for other activities while waiting, either at home or outside.
"Is this woman just behind 800 meters? You said these big girls are so dark!"
"There are also men's 3,000-meter obstacles and men's 400-meters behind. The 100-meter semi-final competition will not start until 1 o'clock!"
"Didn't you report it in the news? The final at 1:30, the final at 4:00, come on, you play cards, we will stop after the semi-finals start, and continue after the end, and we will work until 4:00."
"Can you reach the final? Don't go to the semi-finals..."
"You stop, what's the problem with entering the finals? Hurry up and play cards. The time to finish this lap is almost the same..."
“…”
Chapter completed!
