In the entire track and field event, relay is the only collective event. The men's 4×100m relay event is the event that best represents a country's comprehensive track and field sprinting.

This is not a field where athletes with super talent can rule suddenly, and it is difficult to see a small country and weak country kill gold and silver. It is a four-person sport, representing the overall national track and field sprint strength.

It also represents a country's position in the sports world, and even maps to comprehensive performance in all aspects.

"No matter what the final result is, we are proud to have our own team appear here..." With Yang Jian's emotional explanation, the TV camera gradually pulled into the venue from the parade of the French Stadium, and an information box floated out on the screen, making the pass arrangements of eight teams of the men's 4×100-meter relay race.

"The first path is France; the second path is Brazil; the third path is China; the fourth path is America; the fifth path is Britain; the sixth path is Nigeria; the seventh path is Japan; the eighth path is Trinidad and Tobago." Yang Jian quickly read the way of the team participating in the competition.

As the current broadcasting camera progresses, the audience in front of the TV can gradually see the athletes from various passes preparing for the pre-match, and their hearts gradually rise up.

In the past, some people would watch the men's 4×100-meter relay event in the World Championships, but not too many. Although it was a very exciting event, there was no competition for its own national team, so it was obviously missing something. The mentality of a bystander, it doesn't matter who wins and who loses, it's just for the sake of being simple and beautiful and intense.

Now, with our own Chinese people standing on the track, this strong mood swing makes Chinese people with national honor and pride unable to remain calm.

In a corner of the stand, the leader of the Chinese delegation heading to Paris, the team leader, coaches and athletes were all here. Today is the last day, the closing ceremony, and this rare event is obviously not absent.

In the French Stadium, there are not many Chinese spectators, but their popularity is not weaker than others. Since the first appearance in the stadium, their organization has become better and better, and the scale has become larger and larger. From the 100-meter preliminaries, the huge red flag will flutter in the stadium as scheduled every day, becoming a unique landscape in the stadium.

"The US team changed the list of players to play. They replaced the second Patton and replaced the 200-meter silver medal winner of this World Championship. Relatively speaking, Capel is stronger than Patton. It can be seen that the US team's lineup is stronger now than in the preliminary round. Especially for the first three bats, their personal strength is stronger than other opponents in the finals according to their past results. The final result depends on performance, and the skills and tacit understanding of athletes from all countries..."

The TV camera is facing the athletes on various passes, while Yang Jian follows the camera to introduce the athletes participating. Compared with the preliminary round, the only substitution is the second best team in the United States. But it is not just the United States that has changed.

"Our Huaxia team has also changed. The Huaxia team, which advanced to the finals with the first group in the preliminaries and the third overall score, has not changed the first bat, but it is still Shen Bao, the second bat was replaced by Yang Zuyao, and Chen Jianhai has been replaced by the third bat..." At this point, Yang Jian's obvious tone was a little surprised. It was obviously an adventure to change the bat temporarily.

On the sidelines, Liu Ren and Lin Mu and several coaches from sprint events gathered together. When they saw the US team change a player, they didn’t feel much. It was better to have expected it, or because there was a difference in strength between the first few players, whether they were replaced or not. The difference between the difference of 0.1 and 0.15 is not much.

As for the issue of changing the balls, this was the result of Liu Ren's decision after consulting the leaders in the team and discussing with the head coaches of several athletes.

What changed was two or three sticks. Compared with Chen Jianhai and Yang Zuyao, if the second stick was compared with the second stick, the longest distance of Yang Zuyao to run the second stick was obviously more efficient than Chen Jianhai. They had run like this before, and Yang Zuyao was obviously not as strong as he is now. Later, he decided to replace Chen Jianhai as a second stick, and compared the overall cooperation and strength. I felt that the difference was not big, so I decided to do so.

But now it is obviously different, especially after the 100-meter and 200-meter breakthroughs repeatedly. Yang Zuyao's strength is not the same. By the third ball, Chen Jianhai's strength is not much worse than Yang Zuyao. Overall, such a lineup, in terms of current situation, it is obviously better to use its strength.

But there is also a disadvantage, which is the problem of tacit understanding of handing over the baton. After changing it, they have been trained to hand over the baton. In addition to Zhao Lin's final baton, each of them has it, but the number of times is a question of how many times it is. Can you still have the same tacit understanding as before? It does mean you have a risky try.

In fact, the decision was about stability and fighting. Reporting to the leaders for consultation is also here. History has been created, and every step is profitable now. How can you be willing to do it without fighting? If you use the preliminaries, I believe that the results will not be too bad. Of course, it is difficult to challenge any more. From the previous preliminaries, it can be seen that Chen Jianhai ran the second ball in that game, which obviously reached his limit. As for Yang Zuyao, the distance between the third ball was obviously not allowed to fully perform.

So the current lineup is to use its maximum strength to utilize, and then compete for a cooperation with the handover baton. If the handover can still be perfect, it will obviously make full use of all the strength of China. If you still lose, there is nothing to say, after all, the overall strength is indeed not as good as that of others.

Let’s take a closer look at the lineup of the Chinese team.

Zhao Lin's personal best score is 100 meters, 9.96 seconds,

Chen Jianhai's personal best score is 100 meters and 10 seconds 23, and even his usual hard work will not be higher than 10 seconds 15;

Yang Zuyao's personal best score is 100 meters, 10 seconds, 11, 200 meters and 20 seconds;

Shen Bao’s personal best score is 100 meters, 10 seconds, 23, 200 meters, 20 seconds, 63;

With the overall average strength, the strength of the Chinese relay team is far inferior. Except for Zhao Lin's base, it is just a competition. In the same situation, there is a huge gap between the relay teams and the American team in all other countries and regions.

In the 4×100m relay race, one point can be achieved by one point, and the rest depends on the tacit understanding between the players. At this time, almost all people who care about the country hope this.

On the field, Zhao Lin was measuring the step points in the fourth lane. Compared with Yang Zuyao, the tacit understanding with Chen Jianhai was obviously worse. Therefore, he tried it a few times in the morning, and the coach also helped him analyze and calculate the step points for cooperation. Now he is preparing.

In terms of absolute speed, Chen Jianhai is not weaker than Yang Zuyao. There are not many changes in the steps, not to mention that he has cooperated with Chen Jianhai to train, so he usually has observations. When Chen Jianhai's strength has not improved, he has a lot of points.

While measuring, he was also observing his opponents nearby. He could not control the performance of his teammates in front of him, so he could only be more active and fight a little to face the fourth stick of various countries.

Team USA's last bat was JJ Johnson, who had a 100-meter best score of 9.95 seconds, which seemed to be different from his best score. Zhao Lin didn't think he would lose to him.

The fourth best in the UK is Chambers, with his personal best score of 9.87 seconds. But the 100-meter race is indeed bad. He didn't even get a card. His condition is really average.

The fourth best player of Nigeria, Aliu, is slightly different from Zhao Lin's score in both his best and his 100-meter score. In the preliminary round, Zhao Lin easily got rid of him.

And Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago…

Looking at these opponents in the fourth bat, although Zhao Lin was not afraid of them at all, he could not be optimistic. He knew that everything was still necessary, and the best performance of the team members and the tacit understanding of the teammates' handover. Now he prayed to be able to perform perfectly.

"Okay, the game is about to begin!"

As Yang Jian finished speaking, 80,000 viewers on the scene and hundreds of millions of viewers from all over the world in front of the TV were waiting for breath.

The noisy and boiling sounds throughout the whole process gradually became quiet. The athletes from each pass of the first round had already stepped on the starting machine, and all the athletes from the other rounds were also ready in the relay zone.

A string of international passwords is issued!

Bang!

The sound of guns and guns rang out!

The Huaxia team standing in the relay area, almost the moment the gunshots were fired, suddenly felt the blood in their bodies begin to boil. Looking at the starting line of the first bat from afar, eight athletes were already speeding up and running like lightning.

"Shen Bao is the first big shot. He starts very well and is accelerating. His first half is not weaker than other opponents. Team USA's Williams is very fast... fifty meters... Williams gradually runs out the advantage in his position. Shen Bao is chasing. He is not too far behind now. Come on, Shen Bao!"

Amid Yang Jian's commentary, on the field, Shen Bao exerted his best state and all his strength in his life at the moment of the gunshot.

He maintained his consistent rhythm with the starting reaction and the first 30 meters of starting speed. Many people say that the Chinese sprinters are world-class in the first 30 meters or even the first 40 meters. Because of their physical characteristics and technical characteristics, this is how Shen Bao is.

Starting from the third position, Williams, who was still tightly biting Team USA for dozens of meters. During the crazy swing of his arms and steps, Shen Bao almost became hideous and distorted because of his excessive force. This was the strongest opponent in the finals, and they always refer to Team USA as their people.

Accelerate and bite, and you must not leave too many gaps.

Shen Bao himself knew that this was his first time participating in the World Championships. If nothing unexpected happens, it would probably be his last time. He is 26 years old this year, and his age is at its peak, but this has always been the case in China. From childhood to adulthood, he has been training and competitions, and many unscientific. Like many people, he has been troubled by injuries, and he himself feels that he may not be able to continue to gallop on the track in the future.

Moreover, his special project determines that without absolute strength advantages, it will inevitably require long-term cooperation and running-in to improve performance efficiency. The new and old are alternating, and personnel change reserves are much more rigorous than other individual projects. It is conceivable that at most next year's Olympics. After that, no matter from which perspective, this time, he may not have such an opportunity in this life!

I came to participate in a World Championships, and for the first time I entered the relay finals. I took the first step on such a big stage. How could I leave regrets!

Such thoughts flashed through Chen Bao's mind for a moment, and then he continued to squeeze all the potential of his body.

Fifty meters, sixty meters, seventy meters...

As the distance gets closer, Chen Bao has seen Yang Zuyao in the relay zone prepare to start running. He likes Yang Zuyao very much. He is a smart, sunny and warm little brother. He is also very happy that this little brother can have the current development. He added another reason for himself to work hard in his heart, so that everyone who likes and likes him cannot disappoint!

"catch!"

A sound that almost exploded from Chen Bao's throat, the moment Yang Zuyao's long hand was behind him, Chen Bao's baton was quickly handed to Yang Zuyao.

High speed, smooth, and accurate. It is done in one go!

William, who was on the fourth lane next to him, arrived at the relay zone first at nearly 0.15 seconds faster than Chen Bao, but the smooth cooperation of the Huaxia team used superb skills to complete the handover between the highways in advance. At this moment, Williams was a little anxious. As an athlete who had been racing on top stadiums for many years, his psychological acceptance was not as good as this. However, due to many factors, the disharmonious effects caused by those annoying guys' temporary changes. Williams could not calm down.

"Entering the relay zone, the United States team was slightly ahead, followed by Britain and our China... Chen Bao completed the handover. Beautiful! Their cooperation was perfect, slightly behind the British team, and the second one completed the handover... Yang Zuyao rushed up at the speed of the speed!" Yang Jian stared at the handover between several teams in the relay zone. The Chinese team made a perfect handover, and when he was just slightly behind and rushed out with the British team, he shouted excitedly. However, it was not over yet...

"The United States team first reached the beginning of handover, but it was not smooth. They... fell off! They fell off!" Yang Jian wanted to jump up and cheer. Almost at the same time, the audience also exclaimed, and then a huge wave of sound broke out.

Whether it admits it or not, as long as it enters the finals, countries that are determined to attack the medals will regard the US team as the number one enemy. Now that the United States has made a mistake, it is not a real American track and field fan, it is almost like applauding directly!

Originally, relying on the handover baton, he almost pulled back his disadvantages with the United States, but he was only slightly slower than Britain. The British team's first baton was indeed stronger than Chen Bao, and their cooperation was also very tacit. He was ready to continue to bite in the third place, but now the American team made a mistake.
Chapter completed!
