Chapter 213 The finalists are released, the three pillars are in a strong position!(1/2)
"Incredible! Really incredible!"
In the NBC commentary box, Tom Hanks was already incoherent because he could not believe what happened in these short 10 seconds. In fact, there were more than 80,000 spectators in the Luzhniki Stadium at this time.
There were also bursts of boos.
Tom Hanks shook his head and sighed: "My Jesus Christ! What happened? Usain Bolt was defeated! In the semi-finals! And by another Chinese player besides Wei En -
—Su, how did he do it?!"
Ato Bolton was also very shocked at this time, but he still analyzed rationally: "Bolt made a mistake at the start, which everyone should have seen with their own eyes. And China's Su accelerated very quickly at the start.
Bolt got a very big lead while he was working hard to adjust his condition."
"We can see, OK, now the director has started to play back... Yes, Bolt actually gradually recovered the gap opened by Su after 50 meters, but before that, Su won
He took too many leads, and although Bolt, whose rhythm was disrupted, was already struggling to catch up, he was still a little behind in the end..."
On the track at this time, Bolt shook his head in displeasure, apparently extremely dissatisfied with his performance in the semifinals.
There were constant boos in the Luzhniki Stadium. Most of the audience could not accept this reality. However, the small group of Chinese audiences were so excited that they shouted Su Bingtian's name and waved the five-star red flag in their hands with all their might.
Full of smiles.
Bolt made a mistake, but so what? If you lose, you lose!
Bolt's fans and the people of Jamaica should be thankful that this is only the semi-finals. If this was the final, what kind of criticism would he face?
Unlike the unhappy Bolt, although he failed to refresh his personal best score, Su Bingtian on the court was still so excited that he roared at the audience.
The results are no longer important, nor are the segmented data. What is important is that he defeated Bolt and advanced to the finals!
Winning first place in the group by defeating Bolt, who would have dared to think about this before the game?
Not Wayne, not Blake, not Gai Yin, not Powell, not Gatlin, but Su Bingtian!
On the big screen at Luzhniki Stadium, the results of the second group of the men's 100-meter semifinals were clearly displayed:
Wind speed: 0.4m/s
1——China——Su Bingtian——9.91 q
2 – Jamaica – Usain Bolt – 9.92 q
3 – English – James Dasaru – 9.97
4 - France - Christophe Lemaitre - 9.99
5——China——Xie Zhenye——10.13
6 – English – Dewan Chambers – 10.14
...
After seeing the freshly released transcript, Yang Jian in the commentary box was excited and said:
"Beautiful! Su Bingtian 9 seconds 91! Unexpectedly, in today's men's 100m semi-finals of the World Championships in Mexico, Su Bingtian advanced to the finals ahead of Wei En, and defeated Bolt and won the first place in the group
The way!"
"Xie Zhenye, a young man, also performed very well, with a time of 10.13 seconds, which is not far from his personal best of 10.08 seconds in the preliminaries. It shows that he has indeed stabilized his ability at around 10.10 seconds. It is gratifying.
Congratulations."
"Bolt needs to make adjustments immediately. I think he should return to Glenn Mills immediately. He needs to calm his heart and need the guidance of his mentor."
"His form this season is indeed too poor. Before July, he was suppressed by Wayne and Tyson Gayon in points, and was defeated by Justin Gatlin in the Rome Diamond League. If it weren't for Yohan Blake,
I was injured in April, so I’m afraid the domestic trials will be like last year..."
In the spectator seats, Glenn Mills's face was very gloomy. At this time, he could not sit still. Before Bailey Cole of the third group came on stage, he led the team out of Luzhniki.
Stadium, walking towards the rest area of the warm-up side court.
He needs to prepare in advance and must help Bolt stabilize his mentality during the rest period, otherwise this incredible scene may happen again in the final.
------------------
The stadium was in chaos. Even if the director cut the scene to the ongoing women's long jump final or the women's pole vault preliminaries, allowing the audience to temporarily appreciate the grace of the female athletes, it could not calm the audience's half-hearted support for Bolt.
Discussion on being defeated by Su Bingtian in the final.
In desperation, the director could only cut the camera to Wai En who was entering the venue.
At this time, Wei Enzheng was lining up with the players in the third group from the athletes' tunnel to the court. He was wearing a medium-sized coat and carrying a bag. Under the photographer's prompt, he understood in seconds.
He immediately smiled and said hello to the camera.
Sure enough, after seeing Wei En, the noisy and chaotic scene gradually subsided.
At this time, the director cut the scene to the audience, where Kulkina was rubbing her mother Anna's shoulders and acting coquettishly, unaware of the seriousness of the problem.
Immediately, there was a burst of laughter in the stadium. After being reminded by her mother, Kulkina realized that she was being targeted by the director. She shyly pulled down her baseball cap to cover her face.
"I kissed Wei En in front of so many people during the Olympics last year, why are you still shy now?" Anna teased with a slightly accusatory tone, and then said: "Show your face quickly,
Wayne is greeting you!"
Kulkina opened her eyes alertly and saw that Wayne was indeed waving to her on the big screen. She immediately put her shyness behind her and blew a kiss to the camera.
After this interaction, the attention of the audience was finally diverted, and the chaotic and noisy scene finally changed.
Arriving at the starting area, I adjusted the starting blocks and conducted a test run. Then I took off my warm jacket and trousers, put my number on, and waited for the pre-race introduction.
The semi-finals are here, and countless viewers on site and around the world are looking forward to the final promotion results.
The ones who have been confirmed to advance are Justin Gatlin, Yohan Blake, Su Bingtian, and Usain Bolt. Among the substitutes, Zhang Peimeng ranked first with 9.93 seconds, and James Dasaru ranked first with 9.97 seconds.
Ranked second.
In the third group of the semi-finals, Wayne is almost guaranteed a promotion spot, and the remaining direct promotion spot is highly likely to be between Michael Rodgers and Bailey Cole.
In addition, Maldina and Bradman are not weak either. Maldina ran 9.93 seconds in the semifinals of the London Olympics last year, and Bradman even ran 9.90 seconds twice last year.
However, the performance of these two people this season is indeed not as good as Rogers and Cole, but it is not certain who will win on the spot. After all, didn't Bolt just lose to Su Bingtian?
Therefore, the ownership of the last two direct promotion places and alternate seats is very fascinating.
Soon, the pre-match player introduction session came, and the domestic audience was eagerly looking forward to Wei En's official appearance.
"Viewers, what you will watch next is the third group of the men's 100-meter semi-finals. This group is led by Wei En, and it is also a group that we are paying close attention to at home and even around the world."
"Let's take a look at the list of players in this group. Lane 2 is Anthony Adams from St. Kitts and Nevis. His personal best time is 10.01 seconds, which he ran this season."
"Lane 3 is Aaron Brown, a teenager from Canada, the champion of this year's Canadian Championships. His personal best time is 10.05 seconds."
"Track 4 is the American star Michael Rogers. Domestic audiences should have a certain impression of him, because he competes very frequently in international competitions and has the reputation of a [track and field model worker]. His personal best result has reached
9.85 seconds, and I have broken under 10 seconds many times this season.”
After the first three athletes from the Americas were introduced one after another, they did not cause much disturbance at the scene. Even among them, Michael Rogers, who has been famous for a long time, the scene only erupted with cheers that could be included in the live broadcast.
But before the host read out the name of the athlete in lane 5, the audience had already started cheering. It can be seen that the popularity of the contestant in lane 5 is far higher than that of other contestants.
"The fifth channel is the red lightning from China - Wei En!"
A huge wave of cheers and shouts sounded in the Luzhniki Stadium. Wei En faced the camera, stood his hands into fists in front of his body, and then turned into sharp claws to make a "tearing the air" movement.
Such a domineering move made the audience cheer even more enthusiastically, especially Wei En's fans, who were even more excited by it.
This is the self-confidence that a strong man should have! This is the domineering power that the world’s number one should have!
After finishing the action, Wei En said silently in his heart: "Sorry, brother Gatlin, but... your action is so useful!"
Yang Jian in the commentary box also lamented: "Two years later, at the 2011 Daegu World Championships, Wei En was still a young boy who was not known to the world. Even if he won the championship, it was considered more of luck.
But this year, he is already a strong man with half a foot on the top of the world, and his global fame is no less than that of Usain Bolt!"
"Line 6 is Bailey Cole from Jamaica, Usain Bolt's younger brother. He also defeated Nesta Carter and other veterans in the domestic trials and qualified for the 100-meter single event at the World Championships."
"Lane 7 is Keston Bradman from Trinidad and Tobago, with a personal best time of 9.86 seconds. The season's best time is 10.02 seconds in yesterday's preliminaries."
"Lane 8 is Raymond Gittens from Barbados, with a personal best time of 10.02 seconds."
"The ninth lane is the well-known Dutch star, Qiurandi Maldina. He also entered the 100-meter flying showdown at the London Olympics last year, but his condition this year is obviously worse than last year.
The possibility should be relatively slim."
While the pre-match introductions were being conducted to the players in the third group, the four players who had been directly promoted from the first and second groups had already completed interviews with the media and were preparing to go to the rest area of the warm-up auxiliary field to prepare for the finals.
Randy Huntington also gave Du Jinchen and others some instructions at this time, asking them to go to the rest area in advance to prepare, and to replenish energy and relax their muscles as soon as Wei En and Su Bingtian returned to the rest area.
"With Wei En's strength, it should be no problem to advance to the finals. Randy, how likely do you think Zhang Peimeng is?"
Feng Shuyong, the head coach of the national track and field team, was also in the audience watching the game at this time. He had always been very reassured about Wei En's level and the stability of his performance. At this time, he had already assumed that Wei En had advanced to the finals, but he was still waiting on the sidelines of the field.
He was a little concerned about the replacement of Zhang Peimeng.
9 seconds 93, based on last year's London Olympics 100-meter final qualifying results, should be relatively safe. But there are four players in the third group with this level, even if Maldina and Bradman among them are this season.
If the condition is not good, who can ensure that nothing goes wrong?
"The possibility is still relatively high." Randy Huntington replied nonchalantly, "But the result will be announced soon. Just wait and see. I think the most important thing to worry about now is not whether Zhang can enter.
For the final, the weather in Mexico seems to be starting to change, and we must be prepared."
To be continued...
