Chapter 121 IU, not bad~

As a star athlete in the first group of preliminaries, after successfully advancing, it is natural for him to go to the mixed interview area to be interviewed.

The first media that Wei En has to deal with today is neither CCTV nor V, but KBS, the only official national television station in the cold country.

KBS sent a female reporter. She didn't look too old, but she wasn't too young either.

If Tong Rina is an aunt, then this reporter is at least an elder sister.

He looks pretty good, but Wei En thinks he has a tech face, and at first glance, his apple-toned skin looks a bit unnatural.

The person in charge of translating is still Sister Ru Yi. Although she has not learned Korean systematically before, for a top student like her, Korean is really not too easy.

"Wei Enxi, congratulations on advancing to the semi-finals as the first place in your group. Did you feel the enthusiasm of our cold audience today?"

"Yes, I feel it. After I came to Daegu, I found that the people in Han Country are very enthusiastic and speak nicely. I really like Kangsangmida here~"

Wei En's answer was still spoken in Chinese, but he added "Kang Sang Mida" at the end, which means "thank you".

[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on updates. It allows me to switch between sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]

For a foreigner who has a certain degree of popularity and influence in his country, if he can hear some native words from this person, then the people of that country will feel proud.

This situation is especially common in some countries where the national self-confidence is not high enough. This is already the case in the Cold Country, including a large Eastern country with a population of more than one billion. People can often see scenes like this on some variety shows:

After a foreigner learned a few native words with non-standard pronunciation, he immediately won praise from the host, and the audience also applauded along with him. Netizens also praised the foreigner and said how good he was.

What are you looking at? I’m talking about you—India!

After that, the reporter asked some more formal questions, such as "the goal of this world championship" and "whether Korean food suits your taste" etc.

"Last question. In recent years, the exchanges between China and South Korea in the cultural field have been increasingly deepened. Maybe Contestant Wei En has a favorite Korean actor, singer or idol?"

Wai En smiled and replied: "There is indeed an actress I like very much, and that is Ms. Son Ye-jin, who starred in the movie "If Love Has a Will". Also...iu, it's not bad~"

------------------

In the second group of the men's 100m preliminaries at the Daegu World Championships, Walter Dix of the United States led the way with a time of 10.25 (-1.7m/s). The other two athletes who directly advanced were Harry Akins of England, Trinidad and

Keston Bradman of Tobago.

At the end of the second group of preliminaries, the athletes all discovered a problem at Daegu Stadium: wind speed.

Wind speed is a very crucial external factor for the 100-meter movement, because it has a great impact on athletes' performance.

Although everyone knows that under the same performance, the greater the downwind wind speed, the weaker the hard power, and the greater the headwind wind speed, the stronger the hard power.

But the IAAF does not care about this. As long as it is within the legal wind speed range of 2.0m/s, it is a legal result.

What kind of hard power are you fighting for? Just tie them up and that's it. How can there be so much to dispute?

But there is a huge mountain of prejudice in people's minds, not to mention that in the field of competitive sports, there are always ugly and ugly people.

In the third group of the men's 100-meter preliminaries, Zhang Peimeng is about to appear. He is in lane 7, Lemaitre is in lane 4, Marlon Dvornish is in lane 5, and Justin Gatlin is in lane 7.

Lane 6.

It is impossible to say that he is not nervous. Although Zhang Peimeng has participated in the men's 4x100m competition in the Yanjing Olympic Games, it was a team event.

And now, on his left is Justin Gatlin, the former Athens Olympic champion and double champion in Helsinki. How could he not have any idea in his heart?

On the other side, after receiving interviews from several media, Wei En did not choose to leave the field, but prepared to watch the next preliminaries.

In [Five Tigers 100 Meters], he has played against Powell, Bolt, Blake, and Gayin successively. Only Gatlin, who became famous the earliest, has never met.

Although he is very aware of Justin Gatlin's status this year, Wayne still wants to observe and know how Gatlin, who has been suspended for four years, returns to the top step by step.

"set——"

"Snapped--!"

As the starting gun sounded, the eight runners quickly stepped off the starting block, and a screen that could not be seen by outsiders appeared in front of Wei En's eyes.

The transparent display screen records various data of the athletes, including the stride length of each step, real-time stride frequency, back pedal angle, arm swing amplitude, changes in body center of gravity...

At his peak (after 2013), Justin Gatlin was a very typical balanced 100-meter runner. His performance was extremely stable, and he had run within the first 30 meters of 3.80 several times (3.78 once, 3.79 six times).

.

But the current Gatlin obviously does not have the ability he had at his peak. No matter how long the cholesterol-like effect lasts, after four years of suspension, his strength will not jump back to the world's top level.

Although the current Gatlin's technical movements still have some shadows of the past, it is obvious that his body has not returned to its peak. He can't control just the first 10 meters.

In the first 10 meters of the starting interval, Gatlin actually had a close fight with Zhang Peimeng, which shows how good his current level is.

Zhang Peimeng's starting ability has always been quite weak, at least compared to Su Bingtian. One of the important reasons is that his stride is too small.

As a big man with a height of 186 centimeters, Zhang Peimeng actually needs 47 steps to complete the 100-meter distance. The angle of kicking in the first 10 meters and the strength of kicking and extension are obviously insufficient. Although he has learned [explosive start], he can't be seen at all.

That kind of "explosive power" in him.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But despite this, Zhang Peimeng's performance in the first 10 meters is still not weaker than Gatlin's. One can imagine what level Gatlin was at this period.

.

Wei En in the stands looked at it very seriously, while Zhang Peimeng on the track was confused.

Before entering the running stage, it was difficult for him to see the position of the other runners, but if he was careful to observe, he could still observe Gatlin while focusing on accelerating.

10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters...

Although Wei En said before the game that the current Gatlin is not stronger than him, Zhang Peimeng still has some worries in his heart.

But now... Olympic champion, that's it?

It’s already 30 meters away, and you haven’t gotten rid of me yet?

If this is the case, then I have to work hard!

Zhang Peimeng suddenly felt confident. As Wei En said, data does not lie.

Justin Gatlin did break the 10-second mark twice this year in legal wind speeds, but those two shots were both at 1.3m/s.

In the two games after the US Championships, Justin Gatlin ran 10.08 (-0.3m/s) and 10.10 (-1.0m/s) respectively. The 10.10 shot was in Madrid, Spain.

Running, the altitude is 680 meters.

The hard power of these two shots is actually less than 10.05 seconds. Judging from the performance this season, Wei En believes that there is at least a 50-50 situation between him and Gatlin.

Maybe, even 64!

"The game has begun! The difference in acceleration between the players is not too obvious. Zhang Peimeng is flanked by the American star Gatlin. They are now neck and neck."

"In the middle of the run, Lemaître began to take the lead, and Zhang Peimeng...he got rid of Gatlin!"

"Very good performance, Zhang Peimeng held on! Second in the group! Beautiful!"

"Zhang Peimeng's performance with this shot was great! He defeated the former Athens Olympic champion Justin Gatlin and advanced to the semi-finals as the second place in the group!"

Zhang Peimeng hammered his chest hard after crossing the line. Although he did not win the first place in the group, he defeated the former world famous player. It is really difficult to describe in words the feeling.

Seeing Wei En staying in the stands watching the game, Zhang Peimeng waved and said hello. From now on, he will believe everything that comes out of Wei En's mouth!
