Chapter 173 I will give you a world record!(1/2)
At 21:50, due to the relatively full schedule for the next two days, the men's 200m award ceremony was directly set up on that day, instead of being held the next day like the previous men's 100m award ceremony.
By this time, many of the spectators in the stadium had left, and those who could stay were loyal fans of the three players, or people from the country where the sport belonged.
After the medals were awarded, the national anthem of Jamaica was played and the tricolor flag of Jamaica fluttered in the wind on the flagpole.
Then Wei En and Blake stood on the championship podium together, and the three of them took a group photo in the order of runner-up, champion, and third place.
Wayne and Bolt both had smiles on their faces. They both achieved their goals, ran excellent results, and won precious honors.
Blake was trying to force a smile. His original goal was to defeat Bolt in the 200m final, but instead of Bolt, he ended up in third place with a 0.001 second disadvantage. No one else would have done it.
Have a good mood.
After the award ceremony, Wei En said goodbye to them and left the stadium first.
After Wayne left, Bolt looked at the depressed Blake and felt unbearable.
Although Blake's action after the 200-meter final of the domestic trials made him very unhappy, after all, they are brothers and teammates of the national team. If there is any problem, they cannot be left unsolved.
Wayne is growing so fast that even Bolt was caught off guard. He is now 26 years old, and it is still unclear whether he will be able to be at his peak after this year.
If he continues to grow so smoothly, Jamaica's position in the sprint field will inevitably be threatened by the Chinese army led by Wayne in the future. He and Blake must work together to meet the challenge.
Recalling what Powell said to him at the Bird's Nest in 2008, Bolt put his arm around Blake's shoulders and comforted him: "It's okay, Yohan, I will give you a world record two nights later!"

"Xinhua News Agency London Olympics special report, at 3:55 a.m. on August 10th, Yanjing time, my country's sprinter Wei En won another silver medal in the men's 200m final with a time of 19.42 seconds, breaking the Asian record. His personal total is one Gold and silver..."
"News from xlang, congratulations to Wei En for winning the men's 200 runner-up at the London Olympics and breaking the Asian record again! Xlang's first super chat community - Wei En's super chat has been opened. Netizens are welcome to speak and check in...
"
"Guangxi Morning Post, the famous track and field athlete in our district and world-famous general Wei En achieved great results again in London. The leaders of the District Sports Bureau attached great importance to it and decided to launch the [Guangxi Youth Track and Field Talent Cultivation Program]..."
On the morning of August 10, when people across the country got up, they found that Wei En's figure was everywhere on the Internet, in newspapers, on TV news, on billboards at bus stops... everywhere.
The most concerning thing is the picture on the front page of "People's Daily" on August 10: Wei En wears one gold, two silver and three Olympic medals on his chest, squatting on the starting block and looking confidently at the camera, behind him
The flashlights in the auditorium were as bright as day.
In fact, this is not the first time Wei En has appeared on the People's Daily. After winning the men's 100-meter event at the Daegu World Championships last year, Wei En also appeared on the front page. Therefore, people across the country have already seen the reports.
Speaking of which, Wei En has actually become the darling of mainstream media and Internet media before his debut. Especially in view of the popularity of Baidu's "Wei En Bar", Bibo specially created "Wei En Super Talk" to compete.
The super chat community thing was brought to the stage three years in advance.
As for the domestic awards that should be received, such as "Lawrence China's Best Male Athlete", TV's Top Ten Sports Figures - Athlete of the Year, etc., he has already been reluctant to get them.
What we can look forward to now is the Laureus World Sports Awards, but the Lawrence World Sports Awards cover almost all sports on the planet today, and the selection standards are ridiculously high.
Wain still remembers that Bolt won the 2013 Laureus World Sports "Best Male Athlete" award for his performance in this year's London Olympics, and David Rudy, who created "the greatest 800-meter race in history"
Sha wasn't even nominated for a "Best Breakthrough" award.
Although they are both track and field sports, the status gap between the 100 meters and other events is very obvious. Wei En was also nominated for the 2012 Laureus World Sports "Best Breakthrough Award" by virtue of his 100 meters gold medal at the 2011 Daegu World Championships.
As for the silver medals in the long jump and relay, those are just additions.
In this year's London Olympics, Wain has already won one gold and two silver medals, but he is still far from qualified to be nominated for the Laureus World Sports "Best Male Athlete Award". However, with his crazy record breaking in Asia, he is nominated again.
"Best Breakthrough Award" should be no problem.
------------------
On the morning of August 10, members of the Chinese men’s relay team began training in the track and field field of the Olympic Village.
Wei En did not participate in the training, but was interviewed by a European media on the edge of the track and field. The head coach of the relay team, Yuan Guoqiang, was leading Li Qing, Chen Wenzhong, Randy and others to observe the training status of the team members.
The men's 4x100m relay preliminaries are tonight at 19:45, so the amount of training in the morning is small, and the training content is only for the team members to hand over the baton skillfully. In principle, there will be no intense long-distance running.
"Okay, everyone stop!"
Just after 11 o'clock, Yuan Guoqiang stopped the training and called the team members together.
Yuan Guoqiang clapped his hands and said: "Tonight's relay preliminaries, I will announce the list. The first leg is Su Bingtian; the second leg is Lao Yi; the third leg is Zhang Peimeng; the fourth leg is Xie Zhenye."
"Ah? You really want me to run the fourth leg?" Xie Zhenye was obviously surprised and at a loss. Although he did practice the fourth leg in this year's relay training, on such a big stage of the Olympics, he was asked to serve as the fourth leg.
Si Bang, just hearing this appointment made him a little panicked.
"If you don't run in the preliminaries, do you still want to run in the finals?" Wei En joked.
Xie Zhenye smiled, and the panic in his heart suddenly subsided a lot, "Well, aren't you afraid of running away and getting smashed? What if..."
"There is no such thing as a chance!" Yuan Guoqiang emphasized, "Wei En has participated in so many high-level games these days, and his body has been overloaded and needs rest. Although you are not playing with the full force, your tacit understanding is actually better than that of Wei En.
When you are here, you have to be higher, believe in your teammates and believe in yourself!"
...
As a team event, the men's 4x100-meter relay measures a country's sprint talent reserve. In the past, in this event, it was good enough that the Chinese team could assemble a team that qualified for the Olympics and World Championships. How can it be like
Are you not going to be the main force in the preliminaries now?
If this was said for three years, who would believe it?
When the Chinese audience received the news that Wai En would not be included in the relay preliminaries and instead the fourth leg would be given to Xie Zhenye, it quickly aroused discussion on the Internet.
Some more rational netizens believe that Yuan Guoqiang's overall planning and guidance ability has always been online, and Li Qing, Chen Wenzhong, Randy and others have also provided opinions. Since he dares to boldly use Xie Zhenye in the preliminaries, it shows that the relay team has internal opinions on the qualifying situation of this lineup.
Those who have made judgments do not need to worry.
Among these more rational netizens, there are also some who recognize the abilities of coaches such as Yuan Guoqiang, but are skeptical of Xie Zhenye's ability. Xie Zhenye's performance in the World Youth Championship was indeed very impressive, but in the Olympics it was obvious that
He was a little out of shape and worried that he would make a mistake and ruin his chance of advancing to the finals.
In addition, there are netizens who are opposed to this, many of whom criticize Yuan Guoqiang and Xie Zhenye. They compare Yuan Guoqiang to an irrational Alzheimer's patient, and scold Xie Zhenye as someone who cannot be helped.
Adou, soft-footed shrimp, and other words such as "I won't watch it without Wei En" and "We deserve to enter the finals without Wei En". I don't know if I am a crazy fan of Wei En or a black man.
Regardless of whether he agrees, disagrees, or even directly criticizes, Yuan Guoqiang is not planning to change the lineup anyway, and Wei En also clearly supports it and expresses that he needs to rest.
If the Chinese relay team wants to become a truly top team in the world, then this step must be taken sooner or later. It can compete in the 100 meters, 200 meters and long jump. If it runs in the relay preliminaries, the load on the body will be too great.
Once you get injured, you will really regret it.
And for Xie Zhenye, Wei En also believes very much that it is normal for him to fail to perform at his best in the 200-meter event. After all, Xie Zhenye is still young, almost a year younger than Wei En. It is quite impressive to have such strength.
Very rare.
------------------
At 19:45, before night falls in London, the men's 4x100m relay preliminaries kicked off on time.
The sixteen strongest national teams this year were evenly divided into two groups. The top three in each group qualified directly, and the two best scores advanced to the finals, for a total of eight finals places.
"Dear viewers, the next event is the men's 4x100m preliminaries. The Chinese team is divided into the first group of the preliminaries on the screen. Their opponents include the powerful Jamaican team, the Netherlands team, the Canadian team, and the host England.
The team is waiting for its opponent.”
At the same time, it was already 2:45 in the morning domestic time. Perhaps due to the late time to switch venues (there were other Olympic competitions at the same time), Yang Jiancai had just said a word, and there was a warm cheer in the stadium.
of cheers.
The introduction session began, and the first team to appear in lane 2 was the host team England.
"The second lane is the English team. The first lane is Malcolm, the second lane is veteran Chambers, the third lane is Talbot, and the fourth lane is this year's World Youth Championship men's 100 meters champion - Adam
·Ghimili."
"The third lane is the Canadian team. There are no well-known players in this team. The individual strength of the four players is not too strong. If you want to qualify, you must rely on good handover."
"Track 4 is the St. Kitts and Nevis Islands team. They lost one of their absolute main players in this year's Olympics, Kim Collins, because he went to the hotel to meet his wife privately and was disqualified. This is very important for this team.
It’s a huge loss for the team.”
"The fifth lane is the Chinese team! Many netizens have questioned the lineup of the preliminaries. They are Su Bingtian in the first baton, Lao Yi in the second baton, Zhang Peimeng in the third baton, and Xie Zhenye in the fourth baton. No matter what everyone has
What kind of thinking, anyway, the four young men are already standing on the field, and all we can do now is wish them a smooth advancement to the finals."
"The sixth lane is the powerful Jamaican team. They also adopted the same preliminary plan as the Chinese team. Nesta Carter is the first team, Michael Flatt is the second team, Yohan Blake is the third team, and the third team is Yohan Blake.
In the fourth round, a young player, Bailey Cole, was sent to replace the absolute core Bolt."
"The seventh lane is the Dutch team. The famous player Martina, who we are very familiar with, is guarding the second leg. Their overall strength is also quite good."
"The eighth lane is the Brazilian team. The situation of the Brazilian team and the Canadian team is similar. There are no star players, so if they want to enter the final, their handover skills will be tested."
"The 9th lane is the Italian team. This should be the weakest team in the first group. Their first player is the veteran Cleo."
From near to far, the camera overlooks the 4x100-meter curved starting area from the upper right side, gradually including all eight teams.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then the camera focused on Yohan Blake in the handover area of the second and third gangs. He simply made a unique [beast] gesture towards the camera.
, which caused a burst of cheers, and his indifferent expression revealed his strength and confidence.
"on your marks~"
In the starting area, the starter's instructions to get into position came out through the small loudspeaker, and the eight athletes guarding the first leg stepped forward to get ready.
Xie Zhenye looked around at the handover area for the third and fourth bats. As the game was about to begin, he was still a little nervous, but more excited.
The fourth team can get the most shots during the game, and his teammates are very strong. The lineup of the first three teams is definitely among the top three in the first group of preliminaries. If he can still do it after taking over
