"Asafa, I can't believe you were really defeated by my fans, hahahahaha——"

On the afternoon of August 25, athletes who were adapting to the venue in the Rome Olympic Stadium suddenly heard a burst of laughter echoing in the stadium.

The volume of this laughter was very loud, but many world-class athletes present were already used to it, because the name of the person laughing wantonly was Usain Bolt.

Bolt is famous for his extroverted personality, his low sense of humor, and his love of doing tricks. People can often see him making unexpected and funny moves on various occasions.

"I testify that when Asafa just finished running, he thought he was first, and then the Chinese guy ran over to shake hands with him and said [Powell, I am your fan]. Asafa was still...

...Woo woo..."

Before Mario Fauci could finish speaking, Asafa Powell blocked his mouth.

"That was just my carelessness. I didn't expect that a young man without martial ethics would engage in a sneak attack!" Asafa Powell defended himself.

But despite this, Bolt and Clark kept laughing, and Glenn Mills, who ran to the side with a big belly and other entourage, also laughed very happily.

Although these four athletes from Jamaica do not all belong to the same track and field club, the atmosphere between them is very harmonious because the two leading brothers, Bolt and Powell, have a very good relationship.

Tens of meters away, Wei En, who had finished warming up, was practicing starting.

Today is already the fifth day after arriving in Rome. Although they are in Europe, Wei En and the others have to take an international long distance back every day to report the specific situation to Feng Guiding.

The adaptive training in the past few days has been very good. Although Li Yu is not very old, Wei En is very satisfied with the nutritious meals he made.

Because his physical condition has always been very good, Wei En used the system rewards he received at the Diamond League Magic City Station on the second day after arriving in Rome to increase his physical attributes.

Name:Wayne

Age:18

Occupation: Short jumper

Strength:84→85

Stamina:82

Flexibility:80→82

Physical fitness: 84

Reactions: 78

Points available for distribution: 3→0

The priority of adding points to the [Flexibility] attribute is lower than [Strength] and [Endurance], but Wei En feels that it should not be too far from other attributes.

Wei En's competition tasks this year are very heavy. He is not like Su Bingtian and others who practiced for a period of time to compete and then returned to training. Just like Liu Xiang took the same path back then, he needs to accumulate enough experience through "competition instead of training".

International competition experience lays the foundation for the Daegu World Championships.

"Entering the World Championship finals is the minimum goal." This is not only Wei En's promise to the domestic people, but also the event indicator set for him by the Track and Field Management Center.

The venue for this Diamond League match is the Rome Olympic Stadium at the foot of Wynn. In this part of Europe, as long as it is a large comprehensive stadium, it will definitely be inseparable from the influence of football.

In addition to hosting the Diamond League every year (it was the Golden League before 2010), the Rome Olympic Stadium is also the home stadium of Serie A teams Roma and Lazio. It is also the largest stadium in Italy, able to accommodate 105,000 spectators, including seats.

80,000 seats, 25,000 stations.

This stadium was built for the 1960 Summer Olympics and has hosted major events such as the 1987 World Athletics Championships and the 1990 Football World Cup Finals.

However, although it is still named "Olympic", after experiencing it on the spot, Wei En feels that the quality of the venue here is indeed slightly inferior to that of the Bird's Nest and the 80,000-person stadium in the Magic City that were built only after the 21st century.

.

After several practice starts, Wei En asked Uncle Du and Li Yu to pack their things and go back to the hotel. Maria had a race in Sochi today, and the time was almost over.

"Hey, Wayne! Are you going back so soon?"

At this time, Bolt, surrounded by Powell and others, walked towards Wei En and said hello.

"Yes, I have adapted to everything that needs to be adapted, and we are just waiting for tomorrow's game." Wei En nodded.

"I haven't paid much attention to the news recently. It was only when Asafa came that I realized that you actually killed him in the back. Well done!" Bolt came to Wei En and patted him on the shoulder.

I also wanted to give him a "kill on the head".

But how could Wayne let Bolt get his wish? It was said that Bolt's "head-touching kill" had the ability to "seal", but he didn't dare to eat this "seal", so he quickly killed Bolt's evil hands.

Hold the "seal" that blocks him.

"I've defeated Asafa, so are you ready, mrbolt?" Wayne joked.

"Aha~ Although my condition has not been adjusted to the best yet, if you want me to use my full strength, then be prepared to follow behind and eat the exhaust!"

Facing Wynn's joking challenge, Bolt didn't care at all. Although since reaching his peak in 2008, he has also lost to Powell and Tyson Guyon once in 2008 and 2010 (the weird thing is -

—Stockholm both times).

But those two times he met were at the peak of Powell and Tyson Guyon. Although Wei En refreshed his personal best time to 9.95 seconds, it was still far from enough to compare with him.

"It doesn't matter if I can't beat you, but maybe I can beat Asafa again?" Wayne turned his attention to Asafa Powell, who was "strongly locking down the man" against Fauci, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Asafa Powell responded very seriously: "No, no, no, Modu was just careless that time and allowed you to succeed in a sneak attack. I will never give you a chance this time!"

"Then I hope you won't start [giving up running] again after passing the distance."

"Give up and run?"

"Ahem... Oops, it's getting late. I should go back to the hotel. See you tomorrow!"

"What the hell? It's only four o'clock in the afternoon?" Asafa Powell looked at his watch in confusion, but when he raised his head again, Wayne had disappeared.

"Please come and line up the eight contestants in the men's 100-meter event! Please participate..."

At 20:50 on the evening of May 26, a Diamond League staff member entered the waiting room and announced that he was here to lead the athletes in the men's 100-meter event.

The athletes quickly took their positions according to their lane order. Wei En was ranked 7th, which meant that he was assigned to lane 7.

It was the first time he had a head-to-head confrontation with Usain Bolt. It was impossible to say he wasn’t nervous. Even though he was smiling playfully all day long, the pressure Wei En felt at this time was comparable to facing Asafa...

It was much bigger when it came to Powell.

Although his condition in 2011 was much inferior to that in 2008 and 2009, as long as he stood on the field, the outcome of the game could be said to be without any doubt.

His late-range ability is really disappointing!

…

At 21:00 on May 26th, Rome time, and 4:00am on May 27th, Yanjing time, the men’s 100-meter race of the Diamond League Rome Station begins!

Tonight's men's 100-meter event has the participation of the world's top 100-meter athletes such as Bolt, Powell, and Thompson, so it is an extremely popular event. Track and field fans around the world are eagerly looking forward to it.

According to this, in Yanjing, which is thousands of miles away, in order to explain this long-awaited competition for domestic track and field fans, Yang Jian temporarily adjusted his schedule yesterday and slept until 9 o'clock in the evening before getting up to work at CCTV.

After drinking half a cup of warm coffee, Yang Jian cheered up and explained:

"Okay, the long-awaited men's 100-meter flying competition is about to begin. First, let us follow the live broadcast footage to get to know the nine contestants on the field. They are-"

"Track 1, Ray Edwards from the United States. He also made an appearance in the previous Diamond League Magic City. I wonder if you viewers still remember..."

"Lane 2, this is Mario Fauci of Jamaica. His personal best time is 10.12 seconds, which was set 11 days ago at the Diamond League Magic City Station."

"Road 3, Lemaître from France. His personal best time is 9.97 seconds. Similar to Wei En, he is the first white athlete to break the 10-second mark in the 100-meter event."

"Run 4, the Avatar from Pandora - [Lightning] Usain Bolt! This is Bolt's first 100-meter race this season. This year he will compete for his three gold medals in Daegu.

The road to defending the title. The first game is worth looking forward to!"

"Lane 5, this is the Yanjing Olympics men's 100-meter silver medal winner, Richard Thompson from Trinidad and Tobago, with a personal best time of 9.89 seconds."

"Lane 6, this is the famous Jamaican player Asafa Powell who is very familiar to everyone."

"Track 7, Asian record holder, Moncton World Youth Championship champion, Guangzhou Asian Games champion, 2011 Diamond League Magic City champion, from my country's famous 100-meter athlete - Wei En!"

"No. 8, Clark from Jamaica; No. 9 is veteran Kim Collins from St. Kitts and Nevis."

“The men’s 100-meter flying competition at the Diamond League Rome Station is about to begin, let’s wait and see!”

The closer the gun was to be fired, the faster Wayne's heart beat. It was rare that he did not put his drinking water bottle into the clothes box, but put it at his feet.

"on your marks~"

The starter's command to get in position is transmitted to the ears of the athletes through the small speaker placed behind the starting block.

But the arrival of this password made Wei En even more nervous. He picked up the water bottle and took a sip of water to moisten his dry lips. Then he calmed down as much as possible and walked slowly to the starting line.

During the preparations before the game, he saw the Jamaican flag everywhere in the stadium and the support boards with "bolt" printed on them everywhere.

Among these people, those waving the Jamaican flag are naturally Jamaicans, but more of them are European spectators cheering for Bolt.

Bolt's influence and popularity around the world are ridiculously strong and high. He has long been synonymous with the limits of human beings. Being able to compete with such a legend on a regular basis, Wayne felt that it was normal for him to be nervous.

Although he knew that the gap was extremely huge, in addition to the inevitable nervousness in his heart, Wei En also felt that the blood was surging in his body.

As a competitive athlete, no matter what level of opponents he faces, the word "challenge" has long been imprinted in his heart.

Lean over, squat, bury your head, support, and press your ten fingers extremely steadily behind the starting line.

The noise around him gradually disappeared, and he could even hear the heavy breathing coming from Asafa Powell.

"set——"
