Chapter 126 The Miracle of Daegu(1/3)
"It's surprising, but it seems to be within our expectations. Wei En still got the ticket to the final very smoothly, but his two teammates still bid farewell to the final stage. The finalists who finally entered the final are -
"
"Yohan Blake, Walter Dix, Usain Bolt, Christophe Lemaitre, Wynn, Nesta Carter, Jinko Lins, and...
.Jimmy Waycott.”
In the NBC commentary live broadcast room, Ato Bolton turned his attention to Michael Johnson. Johnson participated in NBC's Olympic live broadcast commentary in 2008 and witnessed Bolt's famous performances of 9.69 and 19.30. Now he hopes Johnson can
Comment on the semi-finals just now.
Johnson has also participated in many programs over the years, so he naturally understood what Bolton's eyes meant, and immediately talked about it: "This World Championships lacks Tyson, Asafa Powell, Steven Mullins, etc.
The super-class players have led to a decline in the competitiveness of the semi-finals compared to the World Championships in Berlin two years ago."
"Richard Thompson and Michael Flatt also failed to show good condition. I heard that Thompson didn't train much after running 9.85 seconds. Bolton, do you know what I mean?"
The two laughed.
Ato Bolton and Richard Thompson are both from Trinidad and Tobago. As a senior, he saw with his own eyes that Thompson, who had high hopes, performed very poorly at the World Championships. Of course, he was not in a good mood.
"Laziness is not a good habit. In order to keep up with Morris, I trained day and night. After today's live broadcast is over, I must find Thompson and kick him hard with my new leather shoes.
Ass!"
------------------
After the semifinals, Wen quickly walked with Lemaitre and Vicott and returned to the deputy field of Daegu Stadium.
It is now 18:50 Seoul time, and there is still 1 hour and 50 minutes before the start of the men's 100m final. In the next time, he must race against time to recover his physical fitness as soon as possible and prepare for the final warm-up.
Walking into a rest room set up by a tent for the Chinese track and field team, Sisters Li Yanfeng and Tan Jian of the women's discus team were packing their backpacks.
"Hey, Wei En is back?" Li Yanfeng greeted enthusiastically, "You have made history this time. Run well in the finals and try to come back with a medal!"
Wei En took the water from Sister Ru Yi, took a sip and responded: "Sister Feng, you have to work hard. You are in such good condition this year, why don't you come back with a gold medal?"
"I dare not say gold medal, but I will fight for the second place!" After Li Yanfeng finished speaking, she left with Tan Jian in a hurry. The women's discus final started at 19:15, and the inspection was about to start, but there was no time to delay.
After the two eldest sisters left, Wei En was left alone. Without Du Jinchen's instructions, he climbed onto the bed and waited for the massage.
Du Jinchen began to move his hands up and down Wei En's body, and his experienced massage techniques caused waves of comfortable moans.
As he pressed it, Du Jinchen felt itchy and asked: "Wei En, tell us honestly, are you sure about the finals in a while?"
"Hey, there's no point in asking this. Just give me a good massage. A little to the left, a little to the left... It's too left, a little to the right. Uh-huh, yes, it's right here, hiss——,
Comfortable!"
While enjoying the massage, countless pictures flashed through Wayne's mind.
That was his past life memory of tonight's men's 100-meter final, but Wei En was not sure whether the scene in his memory could be played out like it was in his previous life.
"A butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon rainforest may cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later." The butterfly effect may seem unreasonable, but Wayne has indeed changed many people or organizations since his rebirth.
thing.
No one knows what will happen until the moment the gun goes off. All Wei En can do is to keep a normal mind and make sure that no matter what happens, his mentality will not be affected.
------------------
At 19:30, there are still 1 hour and 15 minutes left before the men's 100m final.
Usain Bolt has been warming up for 10 minutes. He is followed by his junior brother and training partner Yohan Blake, and Nesta Carter, who is a different coach from them, is also warming up not far from them.
.
"Usain, how many seconds are you planning to run in the final? 9 seconds 8? 9 seconds 75?" Blake asked.
As a long-time training partner, he is very aware of Bolt's current state. Although it is not as good as the state at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, it is still very easy to win the championship.
Bolt is different from other athletes. He has broken the world 100-meter record three times and the world 200-meter record twice, so their coach Glenn Mills has a rigorous plan for Bolt's condition adjustment.
If you can't do your best during the outdoor season, you won't do your best. Even if you lose one or two games in the Diamond League or something, it doesn't matter. You can get back into shape through a certain number of high-level games, and then do a lot of training before the World Series.
Targeted training.
All this is to make Usain Bolt the undisputed first person in track and field history and the "greatest athlete".
9 seconds 69, 19 seconds 30, 9 seconds 58, 19 seconds 19. Bolt has already proven his height. What he needs to do next is to get enough honors and win as many as possible in his career.
Competition gold medal!
According to Blake's speculation, if Bolt goes all out and runs under 9.75 seconds under windless conditions, there is no problem at all. There is a high probability that Bolt will not be able to run under 9.70 seconds, which is about 9.72, 9 seconds.
Around 73.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Bolt did not answer Blake's question immediately when he heard it, and his face was not as relaxed as before, but looked slightly solemn.
Asafa Powell and Tyson Gayin did not participate, and he felt that he had lost his fighting spirit a little.
So far in the World Championships, no one thinks that anyone can threaten his status. The two gold medals in the men's 100 meters and 200 meters are already in his possession.
But besides the gold medal, Bolt has an idea and a goal in his heart.
Unlike previous years, this year his parents have also come to Daegu, and they will cheer for him surrounded by the Jamaican people.
He just celebrated his 25th birthday 7 days ago. At 25 years old, at this age, the physical condition of many track and field athletes has already declined.
In fact, Bolt felt this way last year, so he ended his 2010 season early, leaving time to prepare for the 2011 World Championships.
In order to stabilize his level and meet the challenge of Tyson Guyon, he also improved his starting technique with the help of Glenn Mills.
Seeing that Bolt didn't answer his question for a while, Blake was about to change the topic, but just as he was about to speak, he heard Bolt say in a joking tone:
"I don't know, but maybe I can break the world record tonight?"
"Hahahahahahaha -" Blake and Mills both laughed. They knew Bolt's temperament so well that they knew he was joking.
But they forget that sometimes many extremely serious words are always said under the guise of a joke.
------------------
"Congratulations to Li Yanfeng for winning the championship! Let us review her second throw... 66.52 meters! This is China's first World Championships gold medal in the discus event, and it is also the Chinese track and field team's first in the history of the World Athletics Championships.
The tenth gold!”
"In the 28-year history of the World Championships, the Chinese track and field team's accumulated gold medals have finally reached double digits!"
At 20:25 Seoul time, the women's discus final ended with Chinese star Li Yanfeng winning the championship with a throw of 66.52 meters!
...
At 20:40, the eight contestants of the men's 100m final began to enter the venue.
"Tonight is a happy day. First, Wai En reached the men's 100-meter final, and then Li Yanfeng won the discus. I believe you must be happy in front of the TV, right?"
“Okay, what’s next is tonight’s finale—the men’s 100-meter flying contest! In this game, our country’s famous player Wei En will challenge the world record holder Usain Bolt.
.....”
When entering the Daegu Stadium, they happened to encounter the men's meter award ceremony. Mo Farah lost to the Ethiopian star Ibrahim Jen with a gap of 0.26 seconds.
Wei En and other runners stood in silence in the starting preparation area for a minute, and waited until the Ethiopian national anthem was played before starting pre-race preparations.
It was not yet 21 o'clock at night, and the temperature in Daegu was just right at this time. Wei En and others did not wear coats, but simply put on a loose short-sleeved shirt and a pair of long pants to maintain body temperature.
After debugging the starting block, it is time to test run.
Wei En ran about 50 meters and returned to the starting point leisurely while waving and greeting the spectators in the side stands.
The spectators in the side stands were very "sensible" and quickly responded to Wei En with warm cheers. The Chinese spectators even waved their five-star red flags, and the stadium was filled with enthusiasm.
The men's 100-meter final has an almost universal name - "Flying Battle". This event was first established among modern Olympic athletes. It has always been the crown jewel of track and field and the trump card event in the Olympic Games and World Championships.
Looking at the lively atmosphere in the stadium, Ato Bolton asked in the NBC live broadcast room: "We have analyzed the two views on the rankings. Everyone thinks that Bolt will win the championship, and then Blake and Wayne will compete for the silver medal.
and the best candidate for the bronze medal, followed by Collins and Lemaitre who also have opportunities."
"Then let's move on to the next question, do you think a new world record will be set tonight? Johnson, what do you think?"
Michael Johnson shook his head: "I don't think a new world record will be set tonight, but I think Bolt's winning time tonight may reach 9.6 seconds. What about you, Tyson?"
Tyson Gayin nodded and said: "I agree with you on the first point of view, but I think the winning score should be between 9.6 and 9.7."
Michael Johnson added: "In fact, Tyson's is more reasonable, because the conditions required to run 9.6 seconds are really very demanding. Since the start of the Daegu World Championships, there have been so many 100-meter gun competitions, whether it is men's, women's or
The 100 meters of the all-around event is usually against the wind.”
"And no one can ensure that Bolt is in the best competitive condition, especially when Tyson and Powell are not here, no one can put pressure on him. But as Tyson said, 9 seconds 6 to 9 seconds
7 this range, I believe Bolt can do it..."
When the athletes completed the trial run and returned to the starting preparation area, a list appeared on the live TV screen, which listed the track, name, and nationality information of the eight athletes.
