In the London Bowl, all seven groups of the men's 100-meter preliminaries have ended. After the seventh group's appearance list was determined, the complete list of semi-final groups was also released:

China————Wei En——————q 9.87

America——Ryan Bailey————q 9.88

...

A total of 24 athletes entered the semi-finals, 6 of them ran within 10 seconds, and two even directly ran within 9.90 seconds. This has never happened in previous Olympic Games and World Championships.

scene.

Take the 2008 Yanjing Olympics as an example. There were 10 preliminary groups and 5 semi-final groups, and there were only three results within 10 seconds in total, which are:

Qiurandi Maldina in the first group of the semi-finals - 9 seconds 99;

Richard Thompson in the second group of the rematch - 9 seconds 99;

Usain Bolt in the fourth group of the rematch - 9 seconds 92.

In fact, since Ryan Bailey ran 9.88 seconds, major media have been rushing to report on it. By the time the results of Wayne's seventh group were released, the men's 100 meters has completely become the most popular event in the London Olympics.

Discussions around the world are leading the way.

After analyzing the preliminaries, many experts in the field of track and field pointed out that the London Olympics may not set a new world record like the World Championships in Berlin, but the overall level, the intensity of competition from the semi-finals to the finals is absolutely unprecedented!

The discussion points of people in various countries are generally similar, but the details are also different. For example, people in China are more discussing Wei En's preliminaries record, and the surprise of Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian both advancing.

Countless netizens lamented that, looking back on those days, domestic track and field fans would be very happy if a player could reach the B standard, let alone the A standard.

This year, China not only sent three A-standard men's 100-meter athletes, but also occupied three men's 100-meter semi-finals for the first time in a row. This is definitely a breakthrough milestone for Chinese track and field and Chinese sprinting!

After the men's 100-meter preliminaries, the track and field competitions in the London Bowl have temporarily come to an end. During the intervening period, TV stations from various countries will naturally broadcast other events. The finals of the men's 20-kilometer walk will not be ushered in until 17:00 pm London time.

At around 18:20 London time, Chen Ding, a runner in the men's 20 race walking event, won the first gold medal for the Chinese Olympic delegation's track and field team in this Olympic Games with a time of 1 hour, 18 minutes and 46 seconds.

After the men's 20km final, the London Bowl ushered in the men's 400m hurdles semi-finals, women's discus finals, women's 100m semi-finals, men's long jump finals, women's 400m semi-finals, women's heptathlon 800m finals, men's m

finals.

The men's long jump event, which started at 19:55, was another gold medal for the Chinese track and field team. Wei En also lived up to expectations and won the championship with a breaking Asian record of 8.57 meters. The runner-up Greg Rutherford only jumped 8.32.

Meter, and a bunch of 8.1-meter results, Wain's 8.57-meter performance was so eye-catching, it won the praise and cheers of the 80,000 spectators.

At 21:55, one of the most watched events in the entire Olympic track and field event - the women's 100m final finally kicked off.

Of course Wei Yongli did not advance to the finals.

If we shift to the 2008 Yanjing Olympics, Wei Yongli might have a real chance to compete. After all, the threshold for the women's 100m final that year was 11.22 seconds.

But there is definitely no chance this year, because the threshold for the women's 100m final in the London Olympics is a terrifying 11.01 seconds!

Under the spotlight, the famous Jamaican player, "Pocket Rocket" Shelly Ann Fraser, withstood the huge pressure of the famous American player Carmelita Jeter in the semi-finals and ran 10.83 seconds in 0 wind speed.

Relying on the strong tailwind condition of 1.5m/s, he ran 10.75 seconds and defended the title strongly.

Her teammate Veronica Campbell Brown also finished third with a time of 10.81 seconds. The two worked hand in hand to win a gold and bronze medal for Jamaica in the highly valuable Olympic women's 100-meter track and field event.

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

The competition was obviously completed around 13:10, but interviews from various media outlets continued, and it was not until around 4 p.m. that Wei En finally escaped and returned to the Olympic Village.

Not long after returning to the dormitory, Kulkina slipped in, and after being intimate with Wei En for a while, she pulled him to lie on the sofa to watch the Olympic Games.

Although the Chinese delegation's athlete management regulations stipulate that athletes should stay in the Olympic Village as much as possible and not have too much contact with the outside world, athletes visiting each other in the Olympic Village will not be bothered.

The young couple is quite reserved, and there is nothing like Bai Rixuan. After some athletes return to the Olympic Village, they meet an athlete of the opposite sex they like on the road. They may not even know each other's names, so...

Don't be surprised, this is actually a very common phenomenon. Some athletes who are more playful - such as Bolt. When he broke his 200-meter world record at the World Championships in Berlin, he went to the bar to party all night long.

.

Although with his strong strength, he still helped the Jamaican team win the men's 4x100m gold medal, but from a statistical point of view, his performance in the Berlin Relay Final was obviously a level worse than his performance in the Yanjing Relay Final.

.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, Wei En and Kulkina also made an agreement, that is, they will never have fun the day before the game to avoid excessive indulgence and affecting the competitive state.

Wei En will participate in the semi-final competition the next day, and if everything goes well, there will be the men's 100-meter flying contest that he is most looking forward to, so the two of them are very disciplined and do not do anything to change the positive distance → negative distance.

During dinner, Wei En took her to eat with his teammates. The team had already known about him and Kulkina, so the dinner was also a happy scene.

After watching the women's 100-meter final, Wei En reluctantly sent Kulkina back. He didn't dare to keep her overnight, otherwise she would misfire and spend most of the night in poor condition during the competition.

Then he will definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

If you want to accomplish the unfinished business of your predecessors, you must know how to be patient. The more times like this, the more you must resist the temptation of lust, otherwise how can you achieve great things?

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

August 5th.

There was only one Olympic track and field event this morning - the women's marathon final. Ethiopia's Tiki Grana won the championship with a time of 2 hours, 23 minutes and 7 seconds. The runner-up and third runner-up were Kenya's Priska Jiptu respectively.

, Tatiana Petrova of Oros.

It is worth mentioning that Chinese player Zhu Xiaolin won fifth place with a time of 2 hours, 24 minutes and 48 seconds. This was also her fifth time in the top six of the World Series after 2007, 08, 09 and 11 years.

At the same time, this result is also her third best personal result.

At 17:30, Wei En and others took the express bus in the Olympic Village and entered the London Olympic Stadium. After some small talk, they prepared to start warming up.

The war is approaching, and even Wei En can't help but become nervous.

Lane 5 of the first group is Wei En’s semi-final group and lane. His opponents in the same group are Justin Gatlin, Asafa Powell, Qiu Randy Maldina...

Su Bingtian was still assigned to the second group as in his previous life, "keeping company" with Usain Bolt, Ryan Bailey and others, while Zhang Peimeng was naturally assigned to the third group to face Youhan.

·Blake and Tyson Guyon.

In fact, judging from the group ranking distribution, the competition in Wei En's group is the most intense. After all, among the seven preliminaries groups, there will always be a semi-final group that will arrange for the top three of the preliminaries groups to enter.

And the most important thing is that there is also an "old yin comparison" in Wei En's group - Qiu Landi Martina.

Maldina is also a multi-sport athlete. In order to better conserve his physical strength and hide his strength, he "fished in troubled waters" in the less competitive third group of the preliminaries and only ran 10.20 seconds.

This is in line with his performance before the London Olympics. After all, he only ran 10.22 seconds at the Dutch Championships in Amsterdam on September 17, so it gave people the feeling that he had already used his full strength in the preliminaries.

But this matter could not be hidden from other people, including Wei En, so he was a little nervous. Although he was very confident in his own strength, there was no guarantee that something unexpected would not happen...

From the semi-finals to the final, there are three groups. The top two in each group advance directly, and the two best results are supplemented. The competition is very fierce.

Wei En himself is not sure whether the first group of the semi-finals this time will be more competitive than in previous lives due to his joining. After all, if four world-class players come together, it is really easy to fight to the death.

The start time of the semi-finals was getting closer and closer. Li Qing and Yuan Guoqiang felt that it was time and began to give instructions to their disciples.

Li Qing: "According to the preliminaries and the research throughout the season, this semi-final is definitely the most competitive ever, but don't panic! You ran 9.99 seconds in the preliminaries. After more than a day,

After adjusting, my physical fitness has been fully restored, so there must be no reservations in today’s semi-finals!”

"Wynn, Bolt, Blake, Guyon, Gatlin, Powell, and Bailey, these seven people can definitely advance. There is still one spot, and there is a high probability that it will come from you, Su Bingtian, and Thompson.

"

"Peimeng, you have made great progress in the past two years, but the teacher hopes that you can go further! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you can do your best to reach the finals with Wei En, no matter what results you run in the finals,

, you can all leave your name in history!”

Yuan Guoqiang: "I won't say any more nonsense. You know best how much power you exerted in that shot in the preliminaries. Seize this opportunity and give it a try! That girl Yanfang was not with you before.

Are you kidding me, saying that I will marry you when you reach the Olympic finals?"

"There are many truths that are said in a joke. Be good and turn this joke into the truth! When you succeed, I will act as a matchmaker for you and go back to Zhongshan to propose to her!"

...

Wei En glanced at Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng each, then looked at his coach and asked with a smile: "Randy, look at me, it's almost time for inspection, don't you have anything to say to me?"

?”

Randy Huntington heard this and shook his head with a smile: "Since I met you, I have discovered that you are different. Compared with the athletes I have coached, you have the clearest goals and training that I have ever seen.

The one who is the most conscious. With top talent, a strong mentality, and diligence day after day, you don’t need anyone’s encouragement, because you will definitely be able to do your best!”

"Okay, it seems I can't get any advice from you, so I'll leave first~" Wei En waved and waved goodbye to Randy, Bai Jiajun and other team members, starting with Su Bingtian and Zhang Pei

Perform inspection in one step.

After Wei En left, Li Qing and Yuan Guoqiang finished their instructions one after another. Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng looked at each other, saw the solemnity in each other's eyes, and walked side by side towards the inspection office in silence.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The pre-match inspection of the World Series can be troublesome or troublesome, and it can be said to be simple. Anyway, as long as you remember two basic principles: try to arrive as early as possible, try to cooperate with the work as much as possible, and you will be done.

After the check-in, the players all wore thermal clothing and sat in the waiting room waiting for the game to begin.
