Chapter 252 100-meter preliminaries(1/2)
"Old Meng, don't be nervous. Xiao Chen's luck is not bad! According to his strength..."
On the sidelines, I looked at the 100-meter preliminaries grouping form in my hand, and then looked for the players on the field to be right. Yuan Guohua then approached Meng Shaoqiang and said.
There is a comforting element, but it is more about real thoughts. They got the preliminaries a few days earlier. Lin Mu also took their coaches to analyze the grouping situation and some more focused athletes.
Overall, the grouping situation is neither good nor bad. In Lin Mu's words, it's just that a few names sound rather intimidating. Of course, Lin Mu is just a joke to relieve stress, but the facts are not too bad.
A total of 84 athletes participated in the 100-meter preliminaries, and each player is one of the top players in their respective countries. But the difference between strength and weakness is actually very big.
The 84-person preliminaries are divided into 10 groups, ranging from 8 to 9 people in each group, and they can be assigned to a group with weaker strength compared to the players. That will undoubtedly be much easier.
Among the three Chinese players, Chen Jianhai, were divided into the first group, Chen Huan, and Zhao Lin was divided into the seventh group. After analyzing, Zhao Lin was undoubtedly the strongest in the seventh group. But Zhao Lin's own strength is there, and as long as nothing unexpected happens, he almost doesn't have to do his best. Promoting to the next round should not be a problem.
Compared with Zhao Lin's group, Chen Huan's overall strength is much weaker. Except for the top American player, other players are not top-notch in terms of their best results in previous years or today's best results. Chen Huan's situation is also very likely.
And Chen Jianhai's first group, as Lin Mu said, is indeed a fool.
Looking at the first group of the 100-meter preliminaries who had already appeared on the field, Meng Shaoqiang couldn't help but stroke the hem of his lower clothes and moved his lips gently.
The big screen on the scene was also on the list of players who appeared with the host's introduction.
There were shouts of shouting higher than the next. Indeed, the contestants in this group were indeed not low in popularity.
First, N Kansas, Ghana;
The second way, the last one, Shingo, Japan;
The third road, Aimedoru, Nigeria;
The fourth road, Fredericks, Namibia;
The fifth road, Campbell, England;
The sixth path, Sedoridis, Greece;
The seventh way, Chen Jianhai, China;
The eighth road, Nassimento, Sao Tome and Principe;
...
There are world-renowned generals, although they are 37 years old, but their condition has not been too bad.
With Japan's top 200-meter athletes, the strength of the 100-meter is also quite good. At least in previous Asian competitions, Chen Jianhai lost more than he won.
There is also Nigeria's Aimedoru, even if it is not the top group, she is also a regular visitor to the World Championship finals.
In addition to the famous British player Campbell, the top local player...
After looking around, it seems that Chen Jianhai is the one who has no cards at all. It is conceivable that Meng Shaoqiang is nervous!
This is Chen Jianhai's first Olympic Games, and it is also a single event in the first World Championships. This is also his first time. Both athletes and him have dreamed of such a day countless times.
So, even though he knew that Chen Jianhai was no longer the same as before, and the current familiar names were not as terrifying as they seemed, he was still nervous.
In the men's 100-meter preliminaries, there are three direct promotion places in each preliminaries. As long as Chen Jianhai runs out of the top three in the group, he can successfully advance to the rematch.
Even if they can't make it into the top three, just follow Chen Jianhai's current normal level of around 10 seconds or 10 seconds, they believe that they can basically squeeze into the list of promotions and replacements with the remaining 10 final results.
It was because of the nervousness that Meng Shaoqiang knew that he was nervous, and he could tell that Chen Jianhai was nervous too. This was what he was most worried about.
The strength has reached, but how well he performs depends on his performance. Chen Jianhai does not have the ability to run at a higher level even in poor condition.
As Chen Jianhai's head coach, how could Meng Shaoqiang not be nervous? Entering the second round is the minimum goal he thinks is. Otherwise, I'm sorry for Chen Jianhai and all his efforts over such a long time. I'm sorry for the team, and I'm sorry for Lin Mu and Yuan Guohua's always help.
"Old Meng..."
He gently patted Meng Shaoqiang on the shoulder, and Yuan Guohua didn't say anything else in the end. In fact, no one is nervous, he is not the same. He thought to himself that Lin Mu and Yu Weili, who stood side by side not far in front of them, must have been nervous, and they must be even more nervous.
It is a huge improvement for Chinese sprinters to stand on the 100-meter track of the Olympics, but they are actually under a lot of pressure, including national, organizational, media, and even the general public.
In the final analysis, it all comes from expectations!
Chen Jianhai and Shen Huan are relatively good. Although they are well-known in China, even if Shen Huan has run into the 60-meter indoor championship, there are not many people who really have great hope for them. But Zhao Lin is completely different.
He has had a world championship record and is the first person in 10 seconds. He has a great reputation in China. No matter what purpose it is before the Olympics, the media has been hyping for a while.
It is precisely because of this that people hope that if an unexpected mistake occurs, the result that will be encountered will be chilled just by thinking about Yuan Guohua. This will not be just a verbal harm, but may be the sincere destruction of all those who have made sincerity and hard work.
"Old Yuan and Lao Meng, come closer. Let's watch the game together, it's no big deal. Xiao Chen is very stable this time!"
Standing in the front row and talking to Yu Weili for a few words, Lin Mu suddenly turned around and waved to Yuan Guohua and the others with a smile.
"Old Meng, in a few minutes, you may be part of history! Do you have any ideas?" Lin Mu patted Meng Shaoqiang's arm and smiled and joked.
"Guide Lin, what history!?" Meng Shaoqiang asked in a daze with his thoughts and without thinking about it carefully.
"Haha, your coach Lin is saying that Xiao Chen will become the first athlete in China to enter the second round of the 100-meter Olympics. You are the athlete's coach. Isn't it history?"
Yu Weili listened and laughed and joked. He could see that everyone was nervous. Lin Mu, who had never joked, also came. Therefore, he also added, to relieve his mentality.
"Uh~" Meng Shaoqiang was stunned again, then reacted, looked at Lin Mu gratefully, and smiled embarrassedly.
"The competition is about to begin! Let's take a look at Xiao Chen's game!"
...
“It feels really different!”
With his hands on his waist, Chen Jianhai breathed a leisurely breath. He had just looked around and his eyes were filled with people, flashing with stars.
He has seen many lively scenes, even in the past, large-scale comprehensive competitions in China. But he just feels that it is really different from the competitions he participated in before.
Even though last year's World Championships were a big stage, there were as many people, and the same enthusiasm, he was just concerned about running around and not losing his chains at that time, and in fact he didn't dare to feel it well. And he also knew that he was not the protagonist.
But now...
Standing in front of the starting line, he felt a little dazed, his thumping heart, and the surging rush brought by one or two slogans were stronger than ever.
Make your dream come true with your hands, maybe this is the feeling of dreams.
Once upon a time, an ordinary young man from eastern Guangdong embarked on the road of sports because of his dreams. After more than ten years of twists and turns, this day finally came.
He finally stood on the Olympic stage of his dreams!
"How far is my ultimate dream? Will there be that day?"
Chen Jianhai's mind kept beating, and he thought of his Olympic dream, even his championship dream.
Probably, maybe, still...
Chen Jianhai exhaled leisurely again.
After a period of confusion and struggle, he had almost given up his dreams. However, at last year's World Championships, there were many situations afterwards. Until he chose to change, now after taking a step, he felt hope again, but until he was approaching, he felt a little depressed again.
When there is an Olympics, if you want to talk about the championship, in his opinion, except for Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao, others may be really small.
Are you still nervous?! Haha!
Chen Jianhai was a little self-deprecating. He could feel the faint throbbing accompanied by his heartbeat. He supported his waist, his legs, and his trembling were all so clear!
After getting on the track, he had a lot of thoughts. He realized that he was really nervous. I haven't felt this way for a long time?
If he thinks he has no competitiveness, then he will go there desperately and enter the next round with a happy ending, and he will not regret not being able to get in. He will probably not be nervous. After all, he is nervous just because he is looking forward to it!
"Calm down! The finish line ahead, try to rush over it!!"
Adjusting his breathing, shook his hands hard, and rubbed his face. Chen Jianhai tried hard to soothe the fluctuating emotions in his heart.
At this time, the internationally-used seating command sounded on the field.
“on your marks!”
After looking at the opponent in the same group, Chen Jianhai patted his thighs and walked to the starting machine.
“Set!”
"Bang~"
A sound of gunfire sounded, and with the gunfire, eight players instantly rushed out of the starting line.
Just as he rushed out, Chen Jianhai felt a little annoyed and suddenly bit his teeth, and even bite his mouth.
At the moment before the game started, his mind was turned around again, but after the command was issued, he knew that he was slow to react!
He didn't know how much the starting line was, nor did he know who he was ranked in, so he didn't dare to do it now. For him, if the starting line did not achieve normal results, his performance this time was a failure.
Originally, Chen Jianhai was a player who started quickly and was good at the first half of the race in China. Even if he improved his skills and adjusted his pace later, he could not give up the fast start.
Moreover, Coach Lin accompanied his master to improve for so long, and organically connected his fast start and the rhythm of the next few steps. Now under normal circumstances, it should be a combination of fast and fast, and then a big step start.
But now, his start was broken, and he did not achieve the ideal reaction and the speed of instant burst, which made the rhythm combination that he had already practiced was a little messed up.
"Start up, start up! Fast, fast!"
He rushed himself forward desperately, lowered his head and waved his arms wildly and took steps. He tried hard to run as fast as he should have.
Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters...
At this moment, Chen Jianhai had no time to care whether he was nervous or looking forward to it.
He only knew that he had to use faster and greater strength to regain the speed and rhythm that each segment should have.
When the start is slow, I will take a few steps faster. When the start is slow, I must take a few more steps faster.
To be continued...
