Chapter 8 Track and Field Competition Begins(1/2)
With the grand and unique national charm of the Olympic Games, the gold medal battle for many events officially kicked off in various Olympic venues.
The Bird's Nest National Stadium, which carries the glorious opening ceremony, will have a short rest for a few days. As the main stadium, when they welcome the world again, the number one major event of the Olympics, the track and field battle will begin here.
All countries and all walks of life are good at track and field experts, accumulating strength, ready to wait for the arrival of this day.
At the same time, media and professionals from all over the world have also begun to analyze and predict the situation of various competitions.
As the core track and field sprint event, it is naturally the top priority. As the days of the competition approach, the first 100-meter event to be launched is a huge interest in discussion.
Unlike previous years, which was generally optimistic about one or two athletes, this year's 100-meter event made them feel particularly brilliant.
Yes, they are brilliant, there are too many good players, and most of them are in their prime, with as many as 4 or 5 favorites in the championship. They all have their own opinions and different opinions. But there is one thing that everyone has the same idea, which is destined to be the most intense competition in recent years.
Perhaps it is natural to break a record. The current world record is 9.72 seconds. Not to mention whether this can be broken, but the 9.84 Olympic record is about to be overwhelmed by most people.
Analyzing and predicting the data and performance, the next 10 finals and the five favorites to win the championship are vividly displayed on paper.
In this kind of disputes, the time shifted to August 15.
The day has come for the start of the track and field schedule of the 2008 Olympics!
From this day to August 24, for a total of 10 days, the Bird's Nest National Stadium will welcome all kinds of track and field masters participating in this Olympics, and the war is about to break out.
On the morning of August 15,
Bird's Nest National Stadium
The stadium stands, which accommodated 91,000 yuan, had more than half of the seats, and the audience looked dense and crowded.
Although there was basically no heavyweight final on the morning of the first day of the track and field event, it still attracted many spectators from all over the country to watch the competition.
They held the little red flag in their hands and printed the Chinese red. They walked onto the stands together, waiting for the game this morning to arrive.
Many people have already figured out the schedule of the event very clearly.
At exactly 9 a.m., the first track and field event in the stadium was the women's heptathlon 100-meter hurdles preliminaries.
Then there is the men's ab group qualifying match for shot put. The field competition and track competition did not affect it, and the two games also started at the same time.
Until 9:45 am, after the women's heptathlon 100m hurdles ended, what will begin today is the event that almost everyone cares about most, the men's 100m preliminaries.
The record time for the men's 100m qualifying for the 2008 Olympic Games is from January 1, 2007 to July 23, 2008. The registration deadline is August 5, during which time each National Olympic Committee has three quotas that meet the A standard. As for whether this number can be collected, it also reflects the comprehensive strength of various countries.
After the 2004 Athens Olympics, China once again had full A-level teams. Compared with the last low-key dark horse image, after several years of pioneering and enterprising, China is no longer the same as before.
As people have discussed before, this time the Hundred Meters would be extremely intense. Those who can occupy a significant position in such a grand ceremony will naturally make people who care about them feel proud and proud.
Among more than 80 contestants, the top scorers in the 10 finals are all top scorers with personal best results and scores of less than 9.9 in recent years. Among them, China 10 accounts for the second. The five most recognized favorites in the championship are the best scores of less than 9.8 in the personal best results, and China also accounts for one.
How can such a grand scene not make people excited?
Whether it is Chinese or people from other countries, they are concerned about this event and they look forward to the arrival of this game.
Looking forward to the same matchup between Zhao Lin, Usain Bolt, Tyson Guy, Justin Gatlin, Asafa Powell, and five top players.
Because this is not only the grand occasion of China, but also a grand occasion in the history of world sprinting. No matter who it is, it is an inevitable champion in other Olympics. The best results of the five people are within 9.8 seconds. And they are the best results created in recent years, age, competitive status, and at its peak!
This will surely be one of the biggest highlights of this Olympics.
People were waiting for the arrival of the peak duel, but the game still had to come one by one.
The morning game began. As the game slowly progressed, when the middle railing of the stadium began to be cleared, the whole audience's "Come on, come on" sound gradually resounded, becoming more and more tidy and more excited!
The atmosphere became warm from this moment!
...
"Old Feng, Lao Yu, Xiaolin, it's about to start!"
In the stadium stands, Luo Yi looked at the situation in the stadium and said to Lin Mu beside him with a smile.
The coaches of the national track and field team and the sprint event are here at this moment. Except for Sun Ping who is worried about Liu Xiang not being there, several track and field team chief and deputy head coaches are also here.
Today is the first day. As the director of the Field Management Center and assistant to the Director of the General Administration of Sports, Luo Yi is not an idle person.
However, he still let go of everything and decided to watch the sprint race throughout the whole process. He had to watch the 100-meter race at least. Because of the rise of sprints, he gained a lot. Whether in terms of selfishness or public spirit, he wanted to witness it with his own eyes.
It was already 9:35, and the shouting craze of tens of thousands of viewers in the audience was getting higher and higher, just as if all the people who cared about were holding on to a sense of enthusiasm, and now they could finally be released slowly.
"Well, Director, it's time to make a debut, it's been brewing for so long!"
Feng Yong smiled and agreed, and the person seemed to have relaxed. He had been quarreling for so long, no matter whether it was good or bad, it was the athletes' business from now on.
"Kobayashi, it's so intense. What do you have to say?"
As the others followed and smiled, Luo Yi asked Lin Mu. The smile on his face couldn't help but bloom, making it much brighter.
More than five years have passed in a flash. The low-key and humble young man at the First World Championships is now of great importance, but it seems that he is still as low-key, indifferent, and more steady and confident.
"Director, everything is ready and the state will slowly accumulate. Four games, one by one, and the final peak showdown, what the media predicted is basically reliable!"
Lin Mu smiled relaxedly. He understood what Luo Yi asked, but who could tell the truth at a peak of 100 meters.
According to his analysis, there are almost three people who can compete for the championship in the so-called five hottest people. There is really little difference between them, at least they don’t look big at the moment. As for the memory of the past life and the current situation, it is normal to be able to run within 9 seconds and 7 seconds. He cannot predict what it can run.
Zhao Lin is the best one that can be adjusted at the moment, and the one that is still missing cannot be made up for a while. As for Chen Huan and Chen Jianhai, not to mention, according to analysis, it is possible that they can enter the finals, but they have to compete.
"I'm going to listen to you, we just need to be the best of ourselves!"
Luo Yi nodded with satisfaction. He had been busy before, but he was also concerned about track and field sprint events and hurdles. However, the data situation could not reflect much problems. The outside world was full of troubles and various domestic momentums. To be honest, he could not be without pressure.
As a senior project center director, he understands too much how heavy the consequences of greater hope and greater disappointment.
Seeing that Liu Xiang, who is known as the biggest favorite to win gold, is becoming increasingly unclear, and the importance of another favorite to win the championship has been infinitely raised in his heart. What's more, he also knows that the two Kobayashi have done a lot to sprint in recent years. He also hopes that everything will go smoothly.
"Director, what Kobayashi said is reliable, that is basically reliable. What he said over the years has been verified one by one. Now it is at our doorstep. As long as the grades can improve and the podium can be reached, it is a victory!"
Yu Weili came up with a smile on his face with more and more pleated wrinkles.
Several athletes at home have had good tests recently and are currently at the peak of their current situation in all aspects. He is confident. However, facing Luo Yi, he tried his best to suppress his target.
He knew that according to Lin Mu's idea, he wanted to open up the road to rise in one step, but the competition was really unpredictable. The opponents he met now are also unprecedentedly top-notch, which is really just like the sprint era that Lin Mu once said.
From his inner thoughts, even if it doesn't work this time, it's okay. At worst, I can work hard for a few more years. Zhao Lin is not old at present, and the newcomers behind are getting up step by step. Lin Mu is still young, and he is less than 30 years old this year. As long as he doesn't give up, there will definitely be that day in the future.
"Ha ha!"
Luo Yi's eyes swept around the people around him and smiled heartily. He had confidence and said nothing, which was almost the same situation he saw.
"Here, where is Xiao Chen in the first group? Huh, that Jamaican is so tall!"
...
With the attention of all parties, the track has been cleared, and it has been 9:40 in the morning.
The men's 100m preliminaries of the 29th Yanjing Olympics have begun!
The men's 100m competition time was two days in total, with a total of 4 shots. The preliminaries started at 9:45 am on August 15th, and the second round of the rematch started at 19:45 pm. The semi-finals were held at 20:05 pm on August 16th, and the finals were more than two hours later, at 22:30 pm.
In the men's first round of 100m, there were a total of ten preliminaries, and the number of contestants reached 82.
The preliminary round is the top three in each group to advance directly, plus the ten best athletes after that, a total of 40 people entered the second round.
When the first group of the preliminaries passed through the corridor and boarded the arena, the cheers of the audience became even more enthusiastic.
Because, we Chinese are walking in the 8-person queue!
"Come on Huaxia!"
"Chen Jianhai, come on!"
“…”
As soon as he entered the venue, Chen Jianhai received overwhelming cheers, and the more neat and loud slogans echoed throughout the stadium, and the stimulation made his blood boil all over his body.
Finally, this day has been waiting for him. Since he confirmed the qualification to host the Yanjing Olympics, he has been looking forward to this day. All his efforts and persistence have finally made him realize his dream.
Thank you for the cultivation of the country, for the care of the master, for the teaching of Guidance Lin, and for all the friends around you for their encouragement and motivation.
For a moment, Chen Jianhai's eyes were a little wet!
This is my last Olympics, run well, Chen Jianhai!
Walking at the front of the queue, Chen Jianhai let go of all the tension and pressure in his heart. At this moment, all the previous concerns were gone. In the last journey of his sports career, he worked hard to keep his last part without regrets.
The 8 contestants entered the stadium in a warm atmosphere and walked on their respective tracks.
The 8 trails were lined up one after another, and the contestants each started preparing for the pre-match.
In this Olympic Games, one was given up when arranging the trails. The contestants' trails were arranged the same as the usual relays, and two to nine were selected.
After checking the starting facilities, exercising the body, and simply warming up, the contestants basically completed their final preparations.
The broadcaster of the conference on site also started to introduce 8 athletes in preliminaries in Chinese and English at this time.
“…Ladies and gentlemen, what is about to begin is the 29th Olympic Games, the first group of the men’s 100-meter preliminaries, and eight contestants have already boarded the track and are ready…
The second one, let us welcome..."
"Oh~ Come on!"
"Come on Huaxia!"
"Chen Jianhai, come on!"
