Chapter 14 100m Semifinals (2)(1/2)
On the track, the contestants have passed half of the journey.
Bolt's strong start-up ability and better ability on the way fully demonstrated his advantages. He ran very smoothly, and after all the speed was full, he was like a giant tank with strong power running towards the finish line.
Against his backdrop, Chen Huan, who is still in the leading position on the adjacent pass, looks particularly thin. But in fact, Chen Huan is really not thin.
Every step and every time he swings his arms, the muscles exposed outside his body appear strong and powerful in the dancing posture, and are clearly angular. He showed his powerful power with his particularly petite body.
He led, and continued to lead. It was not until nearly 70 meters that Bolt used his stronger middle and back range strength to catch up.
Behind him, Gatlin, who had been in the third position, had been thrown by the two people in front of him for nearly one meter. However, he did not deliberately chase him desperately.
He understands his current situation. After such a long ban, he has just resumed training and has been qualified for selection this year. After selection, he has reached the Olympic stadium. His condition does not support him in two consecutive high-explosion competitions within two or three hours.
He has gained some advantages in the early stage. Now, after observing left and right, the position is not bad. He deliberately controlled the output and maintained the speed and followed the two people in front.
On the field, 8 figures rushed towards the finish line at a very fast speed.
The top three positions are becoming more and more stable, Bolt is already in the lead, Chen Huan is a little behind, and then Justin Gatling is behind.
The competition for fourth place seems particularly fierce.
The semi-finals are divided into two groups, and the top four in each group are directly promoted. Therefore, the difference between one is the natural barrier, and no one can give up.
Collins, who was originally fourth, was slowly falling behind because of his lack of succession. Behind him, Atkins basically announced that he had withdrawn from the final qualification battle. They are now in the last two.
In front of them, the three of them were entangled.
Chen Jianhai, Patton of the United States, and Burns of Trinidad and Tobago.
The three of them bit each other tightly, and they refused to give in. In the stalemate, they made a fierce spark. Gatlin, the third in front, also felt a little pressure and increased the speed.
Add some more force, add another point of force,
Gatlin gritted his teeth and ran a few more steps, further consolidating the third position before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Staying at the position, chasing each other, eight figures crossed the finish line one after another in the increasingly huge roar of the scene.
The first group match ends.
"9 seconds 84!"
The finish line and the results on the timing card are played.
After the audience suddenly burst into greater cheers, they became a little quiet. Chen Huan was second and advanced, and they saw it very clearly. But it seemed that Chen Jianhai was a little entangled, and they couldn't help but look forward to it and feel a little nervous.
In an instant, on and off the field, all the audiences turned their attention to the big screen.
The large screen on the scene was not delayed. In a few seconds, the final ranking of the first group of the men's 100m semi-finals also appeared in front of everyone.
1. The seventh road, Yusen Bolt, Jamaica, scored 9 seconds 84, q;
2. The sixth way, Chen Huan, Huaxia, the result is 9 seconds 87,q;
3. The third lane, Justin Gatlin, United States, scored 9.93,q;
4. The eighth road, Chen Jianhai, Huaxia, scored 9.96,q;
...
"Haha, Coach Chen is so handsome!"
"Oh! Chen Huan, Chen Huan!"
"Brother Chen, come on!"
"Come on Huaxia!"
“…”
National Training Bureau Track and Field Training Base,
In the small auditorium, in front of the TV set in the middle, there were more than a dozen young athletes.
Since the situation in track and field sprinting has become better and better, the country's resource investment in track and field has also gradually strengthened.
Moreover, because of the continuous improvement of commercial value and competition atmosphere, the track and field team has invested more in athlete training and competitions. Many track and field events have gradually changed from temporary recruitment to major competitions, and the short-term training preparation model has become a long-term training model. The core sprint events are naturally among them.
The current group of people are almost the same. They look like fifteen, sixteen, seventeen or eighteen years old, and they are the reserve force of the national track and field team and the second and third lines. Their identities are almost the same as those of the national youth team athletes. Many of the people here have participated in this year's World Youth Championships.
Young athletes gather together for a long time to train, and often participate in some domestic competitions, including most Asian events and some international events, and they have the opportunity to exercise.
Su Tian and Liang Hong, who are currently the most core and outstanding in this batch, are also here at this time.
After the interaction between the host and Coach Shen on TV, the introduction of the athletes was underway. Listening to the passionate cheers and cheering of his friends around him, watching the audience's shouts and noises in each introduction on TV. Su Tianzhi felt that the blood was pouring in, which made him even more excited than the World Youth Championship final he participated a few days ago.
As the best young athlete at present, he had planned arrangements for him before the Olympics began. Maybe he could go to the scene to watch the competition and follow the coaches to experience the atmosphere of the next court. But Su Tian gave up after thinking about it and chose to continue to stay at the base for daily training.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to go, but what he hopes more is that he can step into the arena as a real athlete. This is his goal and a small wish.
He participated in the 100-meter competition in this year's Olympic Trials. In the 100-meter competition in the trials, all eight people who entered the finals met the Olympic A-grade, including him and Liang Hong, all of them were included.
That 100-meter game really showed the moment when it was the Minor Olympics in the US Trials.
According to the team's regulations, those who have won the top 6 will be eligible for the relay team, and of course they will also consider their usual relay cooperation and comprehensive results. In the end, he and Liang Hong were defeated.
He felt a little sad, but he also knew that in terms of current strength, they were indeed slightly inferior to the few people on the field. But this also strengthened his determination to step onto the Olympics one day.
In the spacious auditorium, there was a lively bustling with young people facing the TV, bursting with enthusiasm. Perhaps they would all put themselves into someone on the TV and look forward to a certain day in the future. They could also compete with the world's top athletes under the cheers of tens of thousands of people in the audience.
"Oh~ Huaxia, come on!"
"Brother Chen, come on!"
"Brother Chen, come on!"
“…”
"...Chen Huan started very fast, he was in the lead, Bolt, Gatlin, they were chasing... Bolt's speed was rising, his speed was very fast, fast pace, big strides, this was a talented top athlete...
Four and five, Chen Jianhai is rushing, there is still a chance, Patton and Burns bite very tightly... Chen Huan was surpassed, Bolt, Chen Huan, Chen Huan... There are still twenty meters, Chen Huan is second... Chen Jianhai still has a chance, Chen Huan, Chen Jianhai is crossing the line... 9.84 seconds, Bolt won the first place in the group, and he tied Donovan Bailey's Olympic record...
Chen Huan is second, you can see that the two of them did not compete in the second half. The finals were in more than two hours later, and they both retained some of their strength. The third one was Gatlin, who also ran easily, and the fourth one was... The fourth one was Chinese player Chen Jianhai..."
"Chen Jianhai surpassed American player Patton and ranked fourth. He entered the 100-meter final that started a while ago. We congratulate..."
The commentator's voice almost yelled at the name one by one, and the voice of Chen Bao, who cooperated with the commentator, expressed his congratulations with a trembling "snatch" and "snatch".
At this moment, a cheerful atmosphere suddenly rose from countless places across the country.
"ah!"
The small auditorium was cheering like a wave, and Su Tian also clenched his fists hard and shouted passionately. He was very excited. This was the excitement of being both Chinese and national team athletes.
On TV, the slow slowing of the game was over and the camera was aimed at the finish line of the field.
Before the finish line, Bolt, who won the first place in the group, looked relaxed, grinning and holding his arms to greet the audience on the scene. He looked in a good mood, but the cheers he received were not as enthusiastic as he expected, and some light flashed in his eyes.
Chen Huan and Chen Jianhai approached each other and hugged each other, then greeted other contestants in the same group.
Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of people in the audience, Chen Huan and Chen Jianhai bowed deeply to the four sides of the stands together.
The burst of noise was like thunder, applause and cheers, and it lasted for a long time! In the stadium, the momentum became more and more intense.
...
In the stands,
The athletes' relatives and friends were filled with tears, and the athletes from other events of the Chinese delegation who came here specially were filled with tears. Only those who knew enough could understand the difficulty and pride of this moment.
On the other hand, the coaches of the China Track and Field Team are also proud. This is the result of the hard work of athletes. This is also the result of their efforts.
Chen Jianhai's head coach Meng Shaoqiang had already cried, and Chen Jianhai finally fulfilled his dream. He once felt that it was an ideal that was out of reach and only thought it was a dreamlike ideal.
The coaches around were also a little moved. They each approached Meng Shaoqiang and patted gently, expressing their congratulations.
"Old Meng, congratulations!"
Lin Mu patted Meng Shaoqiang's arm lightly and said with a smile.
Meng Shaoqiang wiped his face and showed an ugly smile, "Thank you, Director Lin!"
"Old Yuan, thank you!"
Meng Shaoqiang sincerely thanked the two of them.
It is said that talent is talented, athletes are talented, and coaches should be talented. He has always considered himself not a very talented coach, and he was trembling when he first led Chen Jianhai. After more than ten years, even he himself felt that he was almost at his limit.
Yuan Guohua's help and Lin Mu's selfless help have been pulling him to this day. I felt like I was leaving behind several times, and finally I was pulled back. No matter what Lin Mu's original intention was, he would never forget the help he gave him.
"It's all for our career, no need to be pretentious!"
Lin Mu waved his hand with a smile, and he would hold him in the way if he could keep up with him, just like Chen Guobin and Liu Tong.
“All are very good…”
"Oh~"
"come on!"
The interaction between people around him made Luo Yi feel unprecedented enthusiasm. The team and the athletes were very good, which made him feel particularly relieved. He also let go of the things he had originally thought about. As long as everyone is there and there is still this motivation, what can he do if he is temporarily frustrated?
What's more, the situation is very good now, and the athletes at home are better than what he saw from the data and information.
He praised OK, but just said half of the words were interrupted by the huge cheers on the scene. The players in the second group had already stepped onto the stadium and walked on their respective tracks.
To be continued...
