"Lane 2, from the Netherlands, the former famous player of the Netherlands Antilles, Qiurandi Martina, has a personal best time of 9.93 seconds. The Netherlands Antilles only has a population of tens of thousands, so it is possible to cultivate such a

It is really not easy to be an excellent sprinter."

"Lane 3, this is Suwayinbu Sannei from Gambia, a rare player from Africa."

"Lane 4, this is the famous Jamaican athlete we are very familiar with - Asafa Powell, one of the protagonists of the human speed limit showdown in this Olympic Games. His personal best time is 9 seconds 72!"

"Lane 5 is our country's famous player Wei En. He ran 9.87 seconds in yesterday's preliminaries. He is in very good condition. He will face Justin Gatlin and Asafa Powell in this semi-final. I hope he can continue

Maintain stable performance and successfully advance to the finals!"

"Lane 6, this is Ben Youssef Mete from Cote d'Ivoire. His personal best time is 10.06 seconds set in the preliminaries."

"Road 7, American star Justin Gatlin, the 2004 Athens Olympic champion, was later suspended due to drug test problems. He has come back since 2010 and his performance at the Daegu World Championships was unsatisfactory, but this year he has faint signs of returning to his peak.

state."

"Lane 8, this is Keston Bradman from Trinidad and Tobago. He ran 9.86 seconds and defeated Richard Thompson in this year's domestic trials. He is also a strong player.

Very strong player.”

"Track 9 is English athlete James Dasaru. Listening to the cheers, the English audience is very satisfied to see their own athlete standing on the track in the 100-meter semi-finals."

"Just looking at the lineup gives people the feeling of a finals battle, because this group is so strong! There are three semi-final groups, and the top two in each group can directly advance to the finals. That is to say, Powell, Wei

Well, one of the three world-famous players, Gatlin, is destined to compete for a place in the finals on a supplementary basis, which shows how fierce the competition in this group is..."

In the auditorium, Ru Yi, Wei Siyun, and Kulkina sat side by side, and those sitting nearby were also members of the Chinese track and field team and their families.

The Olympics is not only a sports event, but also an extremely important period in Wei En's life. Of course Wei Siyun cannot but come.

When the Olympic flame arrived in Guilin in 2008, Wei Siyun also ran through it through connections. At that time, the streets were packed with people, and holding the Olympic torch, she seemed to have become the focus of the world.

Now, her son is standing in the highly anticipated Olympic Games, carrying the expectations and aspirations of billions of people, launching an impact towards new limits and new glory for the Chinese and yellow people.

She is truly proud of her son!

"Wei En will definitely enter the finals, right Maria?" Wei Siyun gently patted Kulkina's delicate hand, his tone was warm and gentle.

Kulkina is the type who looks cool but is shy and doesn't talk much, so Wei Siyun is basically the one doing the talking, Ru Yi is responsible for translating, and Kulkina is responsible for listening.

Facing Wei Siyun's expression of treating her as a daughter-in-law, Kulkina nodded and praised: "Of course, Wei En is the best!"

The two of them were holding hands and looking at the big screen. Wei En, who was still waiting in the starting area, made a face at the camera and didn't seem to be nervous at all.

In fact, how could Wayne not be nervous at all?

But the more times like this, the more you need to learn to relax your mood and not let your body and mind become too tense.

At the same time, this is also for the opponents to see, making them feel that they have a chance to win, and maybe it can have a certain impact on the mentality of the opponents?

Of course, the most important thing is to have absolute strength. It is absolutely wishful thinking to pin the hope of promotion on such small tricks that don't know whether they are useful.

From the moment we entered the stadium, several clear and powerful cheers could be heard from time to time. They were made by the compatriots who only occupied a small part of the stadium and tried their best. The sounds were scattered in every corner and faintly transmitted from all directions, which made people feel heart-warming.

.

"Come on Wayne!"

"We must enter the finals, come on!"

"Wei En, you are the pride of the Chinese people!"

The game was about to start soon, and Wei En knew that he shouldn't bother to respond to the cheers of his compatriots at this time, so he made a face at the camera.

Not only to make himself more relaxed, but also to tell those who care about him through this action: Don't worry, I'm fine!

"on your marks~"

Sure enough, after Wei En made a face, the starter quickly gave the order to get back on track.

Wei En stood there and took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his mentality and breathing rhythm, his mentality gradually calmed down, his spirit gradually became focused, and he was the last one to move forward.

Asafa Powell had a smile on his face, and he arrived at the starting line with a flickering pace and began to prepare. But only he knew that under this relaxed smile, his groin was still aching.

After Justin Gatlin heard the command to get started, he took a big step forward, jumped over the starting block and stepped on the starting line.

His expression was the most solemn. After glancing at the finish line 100 meters away, he licked his lips, leaned down and squatted on the starting block, pressed his hands heavily on the rough plastic track, and his angry and slightly opened eyes were like

A hungry tiger has locked onto its prey and is ready to pounce at any time.

The athletes were ready one by one, and the stadium became quiet. Everyone's eyes were on the men's 100-meter starting area.

"The final will be held in two hours, but I believe that the eight players squatting on the starting block at this time are thinking about competing with this shot first. The competition in this group is too fierce. I believe that whether it is Gatlin

, Powell or Wayne, both are ready to go all out..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this point, Yang Jian's voice gradually weakened, and the TV audience followed Yang Jian's explanation and focused entirely on the players, as if they were there

its environment.

"set——"

As the preparatory command from the small speaker behind him came into his mind, Wei En quickly made a starting position, focused his eyes on the starting line below him, abandoned all messy thoughts, and concentrated all his energy on listening to the next starting gun.

"Snapped--!"

When the starting gun sounded, the first one to react was Wei En in lane 5. His starting reaction this time reached 0.143 seconds. It was not the fastest shot in his career, but it was the fastest shot among the eight people on the track.

The fastest among the contestants!

Asafa Powell, who ranked behind Wei En, had a starting reaction of 0.154 seconds, while Justin Gatlin, another member of the "Big Three", had a starting reaction of 0.185 seconds, which was the last in the game.

.

"Game start!"

As soon as the gun rang out, Yang Jian's passionate commentary blurted out as the players started. Through the commentary that had been set in advance and the actual situation of the live game, his commentary was accurate and brilliant:

"Wayne's starting reaction is the fastest in the race! But Powell's start is also very quick, and Gatlin on the outside is also running wildly!"

When the sound of gunfire reaches their ears, the athletes on the field who have already formed muscle memory after years of training will quickly start. In such a fiercely competitive semi-final group, even the three strongest giants:

Powell, Wayne, and Gatlin are all giving their best at this moment!

The starting movements of Wayne and Powell are almost identical. Their heights are both 188 centimeters and their weights are very different. Even their starting feet are both left-footed. The distance and angle settings of the starting blocks are also similar.

Therefore, from the explosive stretch after the gunshot, the thigh lift after the ejection, the angle formed by the torso line and the ground, the swing range of the arms...the differences in each data are extremely small, I don’t know.

I thought they were twin brothers.

However, although they have the same [explosive start] technique, there is a big gap between the two of them in physical condition at this time. The first step seems to be almost the same, but as the next few steps are taken, Wei En starts to

Bit by bit ahead of Powell.

Powell, who has an unhealed groin injury, is no longer able to maximize his [explosive start].

Justin Gatlin on Lane 7 is unique among this group. His strides are very long at the start and his center of gravity is very low, which always gives people the feeling of wide open and wide.

Like most athletes, Gatlin started in a figure-eight shape. The difference was that his ultra-low center of gravity gave him excellent forward motion, and at the same time, his more sufficient hip thrusting action allowed him to start in a figure-eight shape.

More energy can be saved and a more sufficient energy supply can be provided for the subsequent acceleration stage.

From the perspective of the live broadcast, Gatlin's steps 1 to 4 are enlarged due to the height of his thigh lift and the deliberate movement of his hips, making it look like he is taking a step forward, which is a very unique movement.

In the first four steps of Justin Gatlin's start, he did not put too much emphasis on kicking back. Instead, he used the full lifting of his thighs and the stretching of his hip muscles to obtain a larger stride. This technical characteristic is similar to that of Asafa Powell.

The [explosive start] is very different, but it is also a very excellent example of starting technology.

Therefore, with such a technical difference, Justin Gatlin and Asafa Powell were almost neck-and-neck in the first 10 meters of the start. Naturally, it was Wen who gained the relative lead by pedaling more fully.

Because the shot started accelerating at full speed, Wei En also ran a very good first 10 meters data - 1.84 seconds, second only to the 1.83 in the 2011 Diamond League Zurich Finals and the 2011 Montreux.

It is the same as 1.84 when Yin realized the "mastery" level [explosive start] in the track and field competition.

10, 20 meters, 30 meters...

In fact, judging from the visual effects, the gap between Wayne, Powell, and Gatlin is really very small. The gap between a slight 0.01 and 0.02 seconds is still in the acceleration stage of the first 30 meters when the speed does not completely add up.

It's really hard to tell with the naked eye.

In addition to the Big Three, Gambia's Sonne in lane 3 also performed well in acceleration in the first 20 meters, while Martina in lane 2 also showed a performance different from that in the preliminaries.

In the preliminaries, Maldina was also in the same group as Powell. At 10 meters, he was half a body behind Powell.

Got two positions!

Now, facing such a fiercely competitive group, he finally stopped hiding his strength and used all his energy to fight hard!

After 30 meters, the runners completed the technical transition from accelerating to running on the way and entered the first section of the highest speed range!

40 meters, 50 meters, 60 meters...

The speed of the players is rising rapidly. Among the "Big Three", Wei En continues to maintain the lead, and the gap between him and Powell is getting wider and wider. However, the gap between him and Gatlin is basically in a "stalemate" after 10 meters.

The slight positional gap has neither widened nor narrowed. It has always been a gap of 0.02 seconds.

The "Big Three" arrived at the 60-meter line in order of Wynn, Gatlin, and Powell. Their first 60-meter times were 6.36, 6.38, and 6.43 respectively.

After the "Big Three", there are Bradman who ran 6.50, Mete who ran 6.52, Martina who ran 6.53, Dasaru who ran 6.53, and finally Sane who only ran 6.55.

Judging from the prospects alone, the "Big Three" are almost guaranteed to win. With Powell's ability, even if he cannot get a direct promotion spot, there is no problem with a performance that is enough to make up for the promotion.

As for the remaining players, there is a high probability that they will be sent. After all, it is impossible for all three semi-final groups to have two replacement places for them, right?
