Chapter 127 Successfully advanced, the preliminaries are over
Stadium France media area,
CCTV's live commentator Yang Jian had already sat back on the chair at this time. He was also surprised now, but a professional commentator, no matter how surprised he was, he would continue to comment: "There are still the last 20 meters, Yang Zuyao is still running first, his speed is raised again, he is still strong, he is sprinting... He put it down a little before. Maybe there are other considerations, now he..."
Under Yang Jian's explanation for forcibly explaining, Yang Zuyao completed the last distance sprint.
Cross the line!
Yang Zuyao was the first to cross the 200-meter finish line, behind him was the American athlete Ma Long Seri, who followed him through the finish line. After a few jogging steps, he couldn't help but stare at Yang Zuyao. He was a little face-blind about the appearance of a yellow man, but he still tried hard to remember because he felt that he seemed to be being fooled from the second half of today!
Yang Zuyao felt someone staring at him, but he just looked back casually and withdrew his gaze. He didn't care about what he thought of his irrelevant opponents.
20 seconds 33!
He looked at the results on the timing cards, put his hands on his hips, and breathed a long breath. He felt a little complicated. He was happy to advance smoothly in the preliminaries and was also a little disappointed with his performance. Because according to what the coach said or his own feelings, he felt that he was stronger than a few months ago. He felt that his body, technology, and process connection were even stronger.
But now the score is only 0.03 higher than that of Quancheng. Although the improvement seems to be very great to others, he himself knows that even if the score is satisfied with the coach, even if the little brother doesn't say it, he can mutter in his heart.
Always compare yourself, consolidate and break through, and do not consider the so-called tactics. Whether you win or not, you must first win yourself. This is the always-official principle of Lin Mu, a small team.
It was still in the process that had a great impact, and the starting speed before was still a bit slower. He liked to analyze and ponder, and Lin Mu always appreciated it, sometimes it was reflected here. Analyzing the process of running, and then verifying with what the coach said, that as long as the mind can be relaxed, growth is expected.
Walking back on the runway thoughtfully, his expression seemed very dull, with a little thought in plainness.
"Yang Zuyao really has the style of a general, handsome!"
"Yang Zuyao, it's a good job!"
"Yang Zuyao, come on!"
"China will win"
One by one, the voices sounded, and there were thousands of Chinese spectators gathered in the east stands. The audience who came to see Yang Zuyao come to the competition shouted excitedly.
It was the first place in the group again, and it seemed that the advantages were quite obvious. They didn't lie in vain, and they were not disappointed.
When Yang Zuyao came to his senses, he was approaching the entrance of the athlete passage. Then he remembered that he had not expressed his gratitude to these compatriots who came to support him. He was not for himself, for coaches, or for the track and field teams, but for these people who shouted loudly. Although he did not say this, he always remembered it in his heart.
Put your left hand on your left chest, press it on the five-star red flag, and your right hand waves to the red flag and the area where people are vocal. In foreign countries, a Chinese can come to the stadium to support the athletes of the motherland on the morning of non-off days. This is true support, not for anyone, nor for chasing a certain star. What they support is the person with the five-star red flag on the left chest of the sportswear.
"Click"
Behind the advertising bezels on both sides of the channel, a series of camera shutters were pressed, and several Chinese journalists recorded this picture.
...
"The first in the group, I've advanced!"
The Chinese delegation on the sidelines applauded and cheered. Luo Yi, Feng Yong and Yu Weili were excited when they saw the final result appearing on the big screen, and they also had a slightly reasonable and unexpected look.
This World Championships gave them a lot of surprises and unexpected things. Those who should not lose, those who have high hopes lost are incomplete. However, events that were not expected at all have created surprises for them repeatedly. In the 100-meter competition, two athletes emerged and advanced to the semi-finals. One of them even broke the Asian record twice and ran into 10 seconds to win the final championship.
The breakthrough of 100 meters has given enough attention to the 200 meters, which was not valued. However, the current 200 meters competition, process and results, even Yu Weili, the leader who has contacted the most athletes, was a little surprised.
Before the game started, it is estimated that many people in the track and field team, including Lin Mu, were not really optimistic, but because of the previous 100-meter precedent, they had a relatively high hope. Of course, judging from Yang Zuyao's previous best results and 100-meter competition, there is great hope for them to run into the rematch as they expected.
But the result was unexpected. In the men's 200-meter event, Yang Zuyao went directly to the first group and ran 20.33 seconds in the preliminaries, which was another personal best result, defeating many good players in the same group and entering the semi-finals with the first place in the group.
Moreover, 20 seconds 33, this result once again set the national record for men's 200 meters.
Feng Yong was a little unbelievable. When was the national record so easy to break. It was still a player of the same coaching team. How many national records have they broken in less than half a year?! It seemed that there was no limit. Every time the competition, the results were steadily improved, better than each other.
Feng Yong thought so, and Yu Weili's idea was even more so. He was an athlete, and he had a deeper experience with it. You should know that the national record at this time is definitely not so easy to break in the eyes of many domestic coaches and athletes. In the era when Yu Weili was an athlete, the level of records in all aspects was relatively low, but every time he looked at the record and tried hard to find a breakthrough, he could feel that it was so difficult.
The first record of the men's 100-meter electronic record was 10.65 seconds. Then generations of athletes appeared, gradually increasing the record to 10.17 seconds. However, in 1997, 98, the record of 10.17 seconds and 200 meters reached 20.54 seconds, and basically fell into a stagnation since then.
During the six or seven years, talented athletes have produced two or three, but they are always far from this record. He can feel the struggles in the hearts of those athletes in the team seeking breakthroughs.
But starting this year, unexpected events have occurred. Shen Huan, Zhao Lin, and Yang Zuyao's performances are really shocking. The performance has been improving repeatedly, and breaking records is common. Once or twice, and now Yang Zuyao this time. Yu Weili knows that now, including Director Luo, the superior leader, has seen the real key to all this.
There were no accidents. Many athletes who have often achieved good results in the 100-meter and 200-meter events have failed to participate in this World Championships due to various reasons. Although he and the athletes have always emphasized that going on the track is to break through their own state. No matter who the opponent is, that is what athletes consider.
As a coach, it is impossible not to consider a real opponent, and Lin Mu lacks achievements now! Several top players are missing the World Championships, so while running to break through their own results, wouldn’t it be more perfect to gain achievements and coaching experience?
...
"Xiao Yang, you're doing a pretty job!"
The morning game was about to end, and Yang Zuyao did not return to the athletes' rest area. He went straight back to the delegation and received praise from the leaders as soon as he came in and congratulated the national teammates.
Yang Zuyao declined the interviews from some reporters and just took a few photos together. In addition, he has been analyzing his current problems as he walked back.
After returning here, everyone greeted him warmly, he could only withdraw his thoughts. He tried hard to squeeze out his smile, thanked the leader, and thanked the others who came to congratulate him. After Yang Zuyao found the coach's figure, his expression returned to his original appearance.
Just now, he set a new record for his best score in the men's 200 meters and set a national record. He was happy, but to be honest, there was not much excitement to say.
Promotion, breakthrough in the results, and advancing to the semi-finals is also a breakthrough in history. In theory, these are very honorable and exciting things for Yang Zuyao.
But Yang Zuyao always thinks of those records and what the coach has always emphasized to himself and Zhao Lin. He really can't make himself excited.
20 seconds 33. If it were a few months earlier, he might have jumped up long ago. For example, the last time at Quancheng Station, he broke the national record in 20 seconds 36, when he was so excited that his whole body was trembling.
But his current thoughts and mentality are already very different from those in the past. Once, a few months ago, in China, he looked at Chen Jianhai at 100 meters and Yang Zuyao at 200 meters. This is a general consensus among industry insiders. But this "look" definitely does not include competing with foreign players. If you can run into the competition and try hard to break through history, listen to the second shot, and the third shot may be their biggest luxury.
Including themselves, they actually have this idea in their hearts.
He and Chen Jianhai once represented the country, participated in the Universiade, World Youth Championship, and Asian Games. They have met those powerful high-level athletes who are famous or not famous.
Faced with these powerful players, he was almost hit again and again. At first, he was unwilling and dissatisfied, but later they got used to it and seemed to have accepted their fate.
But since we started a few months ago, and now we are stepping on the track of the World Championship Stadium. After a long journey, Yang Zuyao understood that there will be wins and losses in the competition. If we are not as strong as others, we should lose.
But when he saw his opponent crawling on his head again and again, winning the game, and looking at the people around him with a look of overlooking his eyes, he felt unwilling to give in his heart. Who could really give in?!
Yang Zuyao was very calm and just advanced to the rematch. His 20.33-second score was not bad. Even as a yellow man, the Japanese man ran 20.03 not long ago this year. Therefore, what is there to be happy about in his situation now?
Chapter completed!
