Chapter 219 Rice Preliminaries

If before the World Championships, people's support for Bolt and Wynn in the 100-meter event was roughly around 50-50, then after Wynn defended the men's 100-meter championship at the World Championships, this ratio became

At least 37 is open.

In the reports in the past few days, many mainstream media are more inclined to believe that Bolt can become the new world championship men's 200m champion.

The Neon Nhk TV station, which has always been fond of Wynn, even promoted Wynn to the sky, saying that Bolt's era was over and that the world of men's sprinting would enter a "new era" ruled by Wynn.

A series of flattering remarks by NHK TV station shocked Chinese track and field fans, because none of China's mainstream media exaggerated so much. There are still a certain number of "reflection monsters" on major forums and social platforms. Although Wei En bluntly said

He defeated Bolt at the World Championships, but there is still a big gap between the two in terms of competition honors and results.

There are even a handful of comments that say: "The World Championships is just an insignificant competition. No one is watching. When Wei En wins the Olympics, let's brag about it!"

Wayne saw the changes in public opinion.

No matter whether the outside world praises or belittles him, it cannot change his inner thoughts.

In Wain's mind, at least in the current world men's sprint field (100 meters and 200 meters), except for Bolt who can pose a threat to him to a certain extent, no other opponents can put pressure on him.

Some of the remarks that are not optimistic about him are actually not a big problem. After all, his goal is to surpass Bolt in all aspects of the 100-meter and 200-meter fields, and to surpass Carl Lewis in all aspects of track and field.

Therefore, regardless of his honors now: 1 gold medal in the men's long jump at the Olympics, 2 gold medals at the men's 100m at the World Championships, 1 gold at the men's long jump at the world championships, 1 silver at the men's 100m at the Olympics, and 1 silver at the men's 200m at the Olympics.

Still at the height of the results: 100m PB - 9 seconds 62, 200m PB - 19 seconds 42, long jump PB - 8 meters 57.

There is still a long way to go before surpassing Usain Bolt and Carl Lewis. We still need to work hard, work hard, and work hard again.

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

At 9:35 a.m. on August 16, the men's 200-meter preliminaries of the Mexico World Championships, which focused the world's attention, officially started.

Unlike Wei En, who was born in the long jump and 100 meters, Usain Bolt was a 200-meter athlete when he first started practicing track and field, and even did the 400-meter as a side event.

Bolt has said something similar on many occasions: The 100 meters is for the coach, the 200 meters is for yourself.

Although to the world, Bolt is so famous mainly because of his performance on the 100-meter track, in his own heart, the 200 meters is actually more important than the 100 meters.

The 200 meters is his favorite event, and he has always maintained absolute dominance over this event in the international arena. Now he is facing a strong challenge from Wei En, which is naturally eye-catching enough.

However, in the past few days, no matter how much he valued the 200 meters, Bolt never said harsh words to the media.

This is also the way Bolt has always behaved. Although he is extremely proud inside, he has always respected other athletes as long as they did not offend him.

In the past few days, although Wain ended Bolt's dominance on the 100-meter track, he still assumed a "challenger" posture for the 200-meter track, so there was no mutual understanding between the two.

What kind of rubbish talk.

Among the seven groups in the men's 200-meter preliminaries, Wei En ranked in the sixth group and Bolt ranked in the seventh group.

Zhang Peimeng did not participate in the 200-meter event at the World Championships in Mexico. Although he had reached the World Championships A standard at the beginning of the season, Li Qing believed that his 200-meter event was not competitive enough and it would be almost impossible to reach the finals.

Like ascending to heaven.

Therefore, Li Qing's training throughout the season focused entirely on the 100-meter event, in order to try his best to reach the 100-meter final of the World Championships.

Xie Zhenye was different. Because he knew that he was not competitive in both events, he signed up for both events. The main purpose was to accumulate experience.

There is very little to watch in the first few groups of the preliminaries. Those who advance are almost all famous athletes that are familiar to track and field fans, and there are also some quasi-first-class athletes who are not above or below the level.

In the fifth group of preliminaries, Xie Zhenye performed well and beat the British trial champion James Ellington, the third runner-up Jason Livermore of Jamaica, and the former world star Wallace Spearmon with a time of 20.47 seconds.

Won first place in the group and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

In the sixth group of the preliminaries, when Wei En's figure appeared at the Luzhniki Stadium, the atmosphere at the scene was obviously more than one level of excitement.

However, since it was a morning session, only the preliminaries of a few events were held, so the attendance rate was not high. Many spectators were waiting for the 200-meter semi-finals and long jump finals in the evening.

The overall strength of Wei En's group is not weak either.

Adam Gimilli, the leader of the young generation in England, and Shota Iizuka, the new national champion of Neon, all have PBs in the 20s and 2s, which are considered to be world-class at the moment.

As for American athlete Isaiah Young, he was driven by Tyson Gayin in the U.S. trials and ran a personal best time of 19.86 seconds. He is considered a strong contender for the bronze medal in the World Championships.

However, this lineup is still difficult to put pressure on Wei En.

After the starting gun sounded, Wei En started very quickly. Just after 50 meters, he "surpassed" Adam Gimili on the outside lane, and after 80 meters, he was already in an absolute leading position.

After turning into a straight line, Wei En began to control the range of his movements and rushed towards the finish line like a stroll.

In the last 20 meters, Adam Gimilli, who was running hard, finally caught up and wanted to take advantage of Wei En's relaxation to overtake him.

Facing Adam Gimli's "sneak attack", Wei En also speeded up again without any hesitation, chatting and laughing with this young man who had no martial arts ethics and ran across the finish line together.

The average wind speed of the competition was 0.2m/s. Wei En’s time was 20.15 seconds and Adam Gimli’s time was 20.17 seconds, which were very close.

It has to be said that Adam Gimili's talent is indeed not low, and his level is quite stable. This time he also successfully set a new personal best in the 200 meters, and looking at him, Wei En knew that he still had the energy to continue.

promote.

Compared with Adam Gimli, America's Isaiah Young and Neon's Shota Iizuka seem "inferior".

In order to advance smoothly, Isaiah Young worked hard for this shot, but the final score was only 20.35 seconds. Shota Iizuka was completely unable to reach the level of domestic competition, only running 20.59 seconds, and

Prior to this, the minimum qualification for the reserve seat was Spearmon's 20.58 seconds, so the neon champion Shota Iizuka's journey to the World Championships 200 meters ended here.

In the seventh group of preliminaries, there was no suspense about the result. Usain Bolt advanced easily. The opponents in the group did not put any pressure on him. He ran 20.65 seconds to secure the first place in the group.
Chapter completed!
