On August 10, 2013, the 2013 Moscow World Athletics Championships officially opened at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, the capital of Russia.

At 8:30 a.m., the first event of the Mexico World Championships - the women's discus preliminaries officially started, followed closely by the men's 100m decathlon (8:35) and the men's 100m qualifying

(9:10).

In this World Championships, the Chinese track and field team has a total of 4 participating places because Wei En won the 2012 Diamond League men's 100-meter annual championship.

Wei En, Su Bingtian, Zhang Peimeng, and Xie Zhenye, the four members of the Chinese track and field team all completed the standard within the time specified by the IAAF, and they are all A standards, so they can skip the qualifying competition and go straight to the official group stage.

.

The schedule of Mexico is very interesting. Generally speaking, after entering August, the temperature in Mexico will not be too high, and the temperature in the morning and night will even drop below 16C.

Therefore, both the women's marathon and the men's marathon are scheduled to be held at noon or afternoon when the temperature is relatively high. The women's marathon is at 13:00 noon on August 10, and the men's marathon is at 14:30 pm on August 17.

The weather in Mexico is full of variables.

On the first day of the race, the maximum temperature at noon in Mexico exceeded 30 degrees Celsius, which was very painful for the athletes participating in the marathon and walking competitions. Many people suffered from cramps and heatstroke due to the sweltering weather. Some athletes, including the famous Chinese marathon players, suffered from cramps and heatstroke.

Jia Chaofeng even chose to retire due to lack of physical strength.

In the women's marathon event, the gap in strength between the Chinese Legion and the European and African Legions is still too obvious. Ding Changqin, who finished the race in 2 hours, 40 minutes and 13 seconds, only ranked 19th.

The Chinese athlete who ran the best time was nearly 14 minutes behind the champion Kenyan athlete Kibet.

Compared with China, the neon female athletes across the sea showed a very strong level in the marathon event. Kayoko Fushi won the bronze medal with a time of 2 hours, 27 minutes and 45 seconds, and Ryoko Kizaki won the bronze medal with a time of 2 hours, 31 minutes and 28 seconds.

Ranked fourth.

Track and field, track and field, the Chinese track and field team is indeed in an undisputed dominance in Asia in track and field events, but the overall level of track and field events is still far behind Neon.

Among the current track and field events, the Chinese team only has an advantage in the 100 meters, 200 meters and race walking. The other events really need to be strengthened.

From the morning schedule to the evening, there were only two events that the Chinese Legion could watch, one was Xue Changrui who reached the finals in the men's pole vault event, and the other was the famous player Tan Jian who reached the finals in the women's discus event.

The popularity of the field events was too low, so there was not much of a stir in the country. CCTV Sports Channel only selectively broadcast the information that two domestic runners reached the finals. The focus was still on the women's marathon Neon runners winning the bronze.

And the men's 100m preliminaries to be held in the evening.

The men's 100-meter preliminaries start at 19:05 Moscow time and 0:05 midnight Yanjing time. Since it falls on Saturday/Sunday, it is quite friendly to spectators in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

The men's 100-meter preliminaries are divided into seven groups. The order of appearance of the Chinese track and field team is Xie Zhenye (Group 2), Zhang Peimeng (Group 4), Su Bingtian (Group 6), and Wei En (Group 7).

There are a total of 24 seats in the semi-finals. The promotion rules are: the top three in each group will directly advance to the semi-finals, and the three best results will advance to the semi-finals.

There is an interval of 23 hours between the preliminaries and the semi-finals, allowing enough time to recover physical fitness. Therefore, for capable athletes, they will perform at a sufficient level to ensure the top three promotion places in the group and will never put themselves in the substitute seat.

Dangerous situation.

At 19 o'clock, under the west-slanting sun, 3/4 of the Luzhniki Stadium was already in shadow, and the temperature was much lower than the hot midday, probably maintained at around 24 to 26 degrees Celsius.

The men's 100-meter preliminaries were the last event on August 10. There were many celebrities, so the attendance rate was much higher than in the morning and afternoon, and the seats were almost full.

When Lemaitre, Bailey Cole and others from the first group of preliminaries appeared on the field, Wen had just finished warming up in the warm-up auxiliary field and walked side by side to the Luzhniki Stadium with Su Bingtian.

Also rushing to the Luzhniki Stadium are players such as Blake, Daniel Bailey, Ryota Yamagata, Yobovana and other players who will play in the latter two groups.

There was no suspense about the results of the first group in the preliminaries. After the gun started, Bailey Cole took an extremely obvious lead after 15 meters, and continued to widen the gap in the subsequent process, finally finishing with 10.02 seconds.

The result came first in the group, giving the Jamaican team a good start.

Lemaitre's start was still as slow as ever, but after all, he has world-class late-range ability, so it was no surprise that he ranked second in the group, with a time of 10.12 seconds.

As soon as the camera turned, the list of players for the second group of preliminaries appeared on the live broadcast screen. The official commentators from all over the world who were stationed in the commentary booth immediately changed the topic to the list of the second group of preliminaries.

During the live broadcast of CCTV Sports Channel, Yang Jian was giving a professional commentary to the domestic audience:

"Let's take a look at the list of competitions in this group. Chinese player Xie Zhenye and Kiryu Xiangxiu, who is known as the "Feng Chasing Boy" in Neon, are two new generation Asian sprinters who will stage a fierce confrontation."

"If you want to successfully catch the second shot of the men's 100 meters, you basically must have the hard strength of 10 seconds and 20 seconds. The strongest among this group is undoubtedly the American star Michael Rogers in lane 3. His personal best

The best time is 9.85 seconds, and I have broken the 10-second barrier many times this season.”

"The Dutch star Martina in lane 4 is also a well-known world star. He reached the finals in the 100m and 200m events at the London Olympics last year, with a personal best time of 9.91 seconds."

"The neon athlete in Lane 5, Kiryu Shohide, is also very capable. He ran 10.01 seconds at the Hiroshima Oda Mikio Memorial Race at the end of April this year. This result even surpassed Wei En at the same time, but because of the anemometer

It does not comply with IAAF regulations and is therefore not certified as a world junior record."

"my country's young player Xie Zhenye is in lane 6. His personal best time is 10.12 seconds. It seems that it is difficult to advance directly in this group. However, such a fiercely competitive world competition stage is also more difficult. It can stimulate his desire to fight. I hope he can withstand the pressure and perform well!"

Kiryu Xianghide stood on the 5th lane, high-spirited.

After running 10.01 seconds at the beginning of the season, he was regarded by the Neon people as a star of hope for the future. They expected him to catch up with Yoon Dong Koji and even replace the Asian record holder Wei En as the star of the yellow race.

At the Diamond League Birmingham station at the end of June this year, the Neon Land Sports League worked hard to get Kiryu Xianghide the opportunity to participate. NHK TV station even sent a production team of more than 20 people to follow him to Birmingham to transfer his training and competition.

The content was produced into a special reality show that was broadcast in Neon China.

But it is a pity that he failed to seize the opportunity and was placed in the same group as Wei En in the preliminaries. He was too nervous and performed abnormally. He only ran a time of 10.55 seconds, which made many neon people look forward to him.

Very disappointed.

After more than a month of recovery and intensive training, Kiryu Xianghide is full of confidence in his trip to the World Championships in Mexico - he is already studying his opponents in the semi-finals!

Xie Zhenye stood on the sixth track, looking at Kiryu Xiangxiu with a personal introduction on the big screen, feeling somewhat unhappy.

Yes, you pb_10 seconds 01, you are a genius boy, you are amazing.

But just because an athlete has run a time of 10.01 seconds does not mean that he will always have the ability to run 10.01 seconds. Anyway, in Xie Zhenye's view, this "chasing boy" is indeed very wet.

In April, I was able to run 10.01 seconds at the beginning of the season. However, in May, June, and July, I never ran 10.10 seconds. In the Neon Championship, I was beaten by Ryota Yamagata and only ran 10.27 seconds.

Neon has been marketing aggressively in China, and even in the track and field circles in China, there are a certain number of track and field fans who follow the trend and praise him.

After the preliminaries group list was released, most mainstream media believed that in this group, in addition to Michael Rogers and Maldina, Kiryu Xiangxiu would definitely occupy the third direct promotion seat, which made Xie Zhenye very unhappy

!

Man, I am the champion of the Youth Olympic Games and the World Youth Championship. Although it is 200 meters instead of 100 meters, what kind of champion are you?

Of course, although he was unhappy with Kiryu Xiangxiu's qualification for the pre-game introduction, Xie Zhenye's mentality was still very normal.

In the field of track and field, many impressive newcomers emerge every year. For example, in the American NCAA League, there are often people who can run under 10 seconds under the age of 18, and people who can run in their early 20s.

The "super newcomer" who entered within 10 seconds.

But high PB does not mean high thickness. Many of these "super newcomers" only perform at a super level when they are in excellent personal condition. When they really set foot on the stage of world competitions such as the World Championships, their performance is often not satisfactory. .

For these players, stepping onto the world's top stage and competing with all-powerful players can often cause great psychological pressure and lead to abnormal performance.

Of course, it is also possible that it is that strength itself.

"on your marks~"

When the command to "take your places" sounded, Xie Zhenye relaxed his mind and strolled forward.

Yang Jian in the commentary box also said at this time: "The competition in this group is very stressful, but Xie Zhenye's performance throughout the season is actually no worse than Kiryu Shohide, and is even more stable. In last year's London Olympics, Xie Zhenye was the leader. Having passed the 200-meter semi-finals, he has experienced the pressure of the world competition stage. I believe he will be able to stabilize his mentality today and surprise all those who support him..."

While talking, the runners were already squatting on the starting block, waiting for the gun to be fired.

"set——"

"Snapped--!"

"Okay, let's start the race! Sure enough, Michael Rogers started the fastest after starting, and he is currently in the lead."

"Running on the way - Xie Zhenye is good! Keep the pace!"

"Xie Zhenye must control his body, maintain his technical movements, and make the final sprint!"

"Beautiful! Second in the group!"

"There is no suspense about Michael Rogers' first place in the group, with a time of 9.99 seconds. Judging from the distance behind Xie Zhenye behind Rogers, this shot should be around 10.10 seconds..."

At the 100-meter finish area, Xie Zhenye felt joyful after slowing down and stopping, and raised his arms and shouted loudly.

In this group of games, his main opponents were all to his left, so when he crossed the line, he subconsciously looked to his left and saw Martina, who was slightly behind him, and at least one person ahead of him. Michael Rogers, but the only one who didn't see "The Boy Who Chased the Storm" was Shohide Kiryu.

After the speed slowed down, Kiryu Xiangxiu ran past him. What does this mean?

It means that he pulled Kiryu Xiangxiu to pieces!

A genius boy? A trend-chasing boy? The hope of Neon Dash? An elite who has a good life in his childhood?

Who is not a genius boy?

Brother, when I won the Youth Olympic Games and became a genius boy, you were not even in high school yet!

Looking at the big screen above, Xie Zhenye saw the results of the second set of the men's 100m preliminaries that were gradually updated after verification:
