At 18:20 on August 16th, Moscow time.

"Come on, Lao Li, come back with a medal!"

In the waiting room, Wei En, who had just completed the inspection, and Li Jinzhe, who was about to leave for the entrance, bumped fists with each other. In 10 minutes, the men's long jump final will begin.

Li Jinzhe replied with a smile: "I'll try my best. If I don't get the medal and I get criticized, you have to speak up for me."

It's a bit of a joke, but it's somewhat serious.

Wei En is the men's long jump champion at the Daegu World Championships and the London Olympics. In the past two years, he has set the national record over and over again, and even the Asian record was set once by him. This has caused domestic track and field fans to have a negative attitude towards the men's long jump event.

The requirements have become very high.

However, after training with Randy Huntington this year, Li Jinzhe is in really good competitive shape. He significantly refreshed his personal best with 8.36 meters in the Diamond League Modu Station. He also jumped to 8.33 meters to win the Yanjing Challenge. Follow-up

He also jumped 8.26 meters at the Birmingham Diamond League, only missing out on the Russian star Menkov by 0.01 meters.

With Li Jinzhe's form this year, it shouldn't be difficult to win a medal. Even Menkov of Russia might be able to win a gold medal if his performance is slightly worse.

After saying hello to Li Jinzhe, Wei En looked at Wang Jianan again.

This kid is also lucky. At the Asian Championships, he happened to encounter several of the current famous Asian long jumpers who were in poor condition. He missed a gold medal and got a wild card qualification for the World Championships.

In the men's long jump qualifying competition two days ago, the first five jumps could not even pass 7.60 meters, and it looked like they would be eliminated in the first round of the World Championships.

At that time, Ghanaian star Ingnatius Gassah, who was ranked sixth in the second qualifying group of the group he was in, saw that he could advance to the finals even if he only jumped 7.90 meters, so he did it casually with the last jump.

I didn't expect to get a more conservative result.

As a result, Wang Jianan jumped directly to 8.02 meters in the last jump. He jumped directly from 11th place in the group to 4th place in the group. He squeezed the Ghanaian star Gassah, the silver medalist at the Helsinki World Championships, out of the top six in the group and qualified for promotion.

.

Gassah was on the verge of tears. His original idea was to let things go in the qualifying round and get a feel for it, but after what happened, who could withstand it?

Wei En was also very surprised when he learned about this result, because in his memory, the men's long jump silver medalist at the World Championships in Mexico was Gassah, who was squeezed out of the qualification by Wang Jianan.

Things are starting to go wrong...

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

On August 16, at 18:35 Moscow time and 23:35 Yanjing time, CCTV began live broadcast of the men’s 200m final of the Mexico World Championships. At the same time, the women’s hammer throw final and the men’s hammer throw final were also ongoing.

Long jump final.

"CCTV, what you are about to watch now is the men's 200m semi-finals of the 2013 Mexico World Championships. The 200m semi-finals are divided into three groups. Chinese players Xie Zhenye and Wei En will compete in the first and third groups.

The first group made an appearance, and world record holder Usain Bolt was in the second group."

"Right now, right behind me, the legendary American sprinter Michael Johnson, who once held double world records in the 200 meters and 400 meters, is serving as a guest commentator on NBC TV."

"During the break, I took the time to ask Michael Johnson a question. I said: [Wayne is now the second person in history in the 100 meters. Are you worried that he will surpass you in the 200 meters?] He is very good.

Answered gracefully: [It doesn’t matter, records are created to be broken. If I can witness Wei En surpass me on the spot, then I will only feel happy instead of regretful.]”

“As of now, the 200-meter world record and world championship record is 19.19 seconds set by Usain Bolt at the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin. The second person in history is Yohan Blake, who ran in the 2011 Diamond League Brussels Station.

It was 19.26 seconds; the third person in history is Michael Johnson, who set the previous world record of 19.32 seconds at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics."

"Wayne hasn't run many races in the 200m event. He only ran once this year at the Diamond League Magic City Station. At that time, he won the championship with a time of 19.51 seconds and set the world's best time in the 200m event in the season.

No one has broken it yet.”

"Wayne's personal best time in the 200m event is 19.42 seconds. He is currently the fourth person in history. However, all major mainstream media in the world believe that in the men's 200m final tomorrow night, Waien will definitely beat his time."

pb improved again."

"Some say he will surpass Michael Johnson, some say he can at least surpass Yohan Blake, and of course there are a few opinions that say he can directly hit Usain Bolt's world record. In my personal opinion, Wayne currently wants to

It's still a little short of hitting Bolt's world record. After all, his 100-meter level is still far behind Bolt's in 2009, and the same goes for the 200-meter."

"But to say that he does not pose a threat to the historical status of Michael Johnson and Yohan Blake, then I am definitely one hundred, one thousand unwilling, 19 seconds 32 and 19 seconds 26, both of which are very difficult for Wayne at the moment.

There are opportunities to impact and surpass achievements.”

"When you reach Wei En's level, it is very necessary to have the belief to move forward. You must not be timid just because the predecessors have created heights that seem very difficult to break through. Of course, it is not difficult to see from Wei En's words and deeds since his debut.

He is a person who has a very clear understanding of his own strength, a very clear goal and a belief in struggle."

"Tonight's 200-meter semi-final, let's take a look at Wei En's condition first, and then look forward to tomorrow night's final..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The camera turned, and Alex Quinonez, a player from Ecuador, appeared on the screen, the first group of the men's 200-meter semi-finals

The pre-introduction session has officially arrived.

Among this group, the ones that attract more attention are American player Curtis Mitchell and Jamaican player Warren Weir.

Curtis Mitchell is the third runner-up in this year's All-American selection. He was born in 1989 and is considered a veteran. In 2010, he broke the 20-second barrier for the first time and ran 19 seconds 99.11. In 2012, due to injuries, his strength dropped to 20 seconds.

Around 90 seconds, I finally regained my form this year.

Warren Weir is even more famous. After all, he reached the men's 200m final at last year's London Olympics and finished fourth. This year, Warren Weir came to Mexico as the champion of the Jamaican Championships.

World Championships in Scotia, and because Yohan Blake gave up the 200m event this year, he is also given high hopes by the Jamaican people, hoping that he can replace Blake and win a medal for Jamaica.

In addition to them, this group also includes the Norwegian national record holder Sejnd, the French star Jimmy Vicott, and the future Spanish 100/200/400m national record holder Bruno Hotellano-Royinger.

...

Time gradually passed, and soon the pre-match introduction session for the first group of the semi-finals was completed, and the starter quickly gave the order to get on your feet.

After a crisp gunshot, the first group of the men's 200m semi-finals of the Mexico World Championships officially started.

Xie Zhenye was in lane 6. After the shot was fired, Curtis Mitchell in lane 5 chased very closely and passed Xie Zhenye after 80 meters, which put a lot of pressure on him.

After two consecutive years of training in the United States, coupled with Wei En's constant guidance, Xie Zhenye's progress in the 200-meter event also kept pace with the times in the 100-meter event.

In two years, Xie Zhenye's muscles have expanded more than once. However, since his main event is 200 meters, he has the same muscular body type as Zhang Peimeng, and does not have the same visual effects as Wei En.

Exploded muscles.

In the past two years, his absolute speed has improved greatly, and his speed endurance has also been significantly improved. However, when facing Curtis Mitchell and Warren Weir at their peak, it was obvious that

There is still a big gap.

After entering the straight from the corner, Xie Zhenye was in the fourth position, with Warren Weir, Sai Yinde and Mitchell in lanes 3, 4 and 5 all ahead of him.

From 120 to 150 meters, Mitchell took great strides and left Sai Yin De and Warren Weir behind. However, at this stage, Xie Zhenye was no longer separated by Sai Yin De.

After 150 meters, Mitchell was sprinting with all his strength without any reservation, while Warren Weir seemed very comfortable and was not prepared to give his best to compete with Mitchell for the first place in the group.

In the last 50 meters, Xie Zhenye began to gradually display his excellent speed endurance ability, shaking his head all the way, catching up with Sai Yinde bit by bit, and completed the overtake at 185 meters!

"Xie Zhenye was third in the group. Judging from the gap between him and Mitchell in the end, he should have achieved a very good result! Mitchell, the American player, was the first to cross the finish line. The on-site timer was the first

The displayed result is 19 seconds 98. Warren Weir, who is second, is nearly two positions behind him, while Xie Zhenye and Warren Weir should be one position behind..."

Mitchell, who won the first place in the group, seemed very excited. He stopped and shouted loudly at the camera to vent his emotions, while Warren Weir looked very calm. It was obvious that he was prepared for this result.

In fact, Warren Weir did deliberately let go, because according to the track allocation rules of the finals, the second place players in each group in the semi-finals will be ranked according to their results and assigned to tracks 6, 7, and 8.

Warren Weir likes to run on the outside track very much. For a 200-meter athlete like him with weak strength and quality, running on the inside track will be very difficult, while the outside track is very conducive to his technical performance.

That's why he didn't compete with Curtis Mitchell for first place in the group.

After several replays on the big screen, the final results of the players in this group were finally displayed. Seeing his name appear in the third row, Xie Zhenye breathed a sigh of relief.

Curtis Mitchell of the United States ranked first in the group with a time of 19.97 seconds, Warren Weir of Jamaica ranked second in the group with a time of 20.19 seconds, and he ranked third in the group with a time of 20.28 seconds.

"Beautiful!" Yang Jian in the commentary box was immediately overjoyed. "Although Xie Zhenye was third in the group, he ran 20.28 seconds, setting a new personal best. It can be seen that Xie Zhenye's performance at the World Championships in Mexico

The condition is really good!”

"Six days ago, Xie Zhenye ran 10.08 seconds in the men's 100-meter preliminaries, setting a new personal best for 100 meters. Today he set a new personal best for 200 meters. It's really great!

"

"Xie Zhenye's improvement in individual events also means that our Chinese men's relay team can move towards higher goals. The Asian record of 37.40 seconds they hold may be broken again in this World Championships.

It’s possible…”

After the results of the first group were released, the list of players for the second group of men's 200m semi-finals followed closely, with Usain Bolt making his debut.

Throughout the race, Bolt seemed very relaxed. The only stage that was a little difficult was probably the last 50 meters when Bovanna sprinted with all his strength to catch up with him. Bolt didn't want to lose the first place in the group, so he tried his best to control himself.

Keep the distance ahead.

Bolt took first place in the group with a time of 20.12 seconds, and South Africa's Jobowana advanced to the finals following Bolt with a time of 20.13 seconds.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And America’s Isaiah Young still looks half-dead, completely different from the state he was in during the National Trials, with a time of only 20.35 seconds, losing the possibility of advancement.

.

After another three to five minutes, when Wei En's face appeared on the big screen, not only the tens of thousands of viewers at the scene cheered loudly, but also the countless viewers who were watching the live broadcast were also refreshed.

After Wynn defeated Bolt and defended his title in the men's 100-meter event at the World Championships, the showdown between him and Bolt in the 200-meter event became another hotly anticipated topic at the World Championships in Mexico.

Although tonight's game is only the semi-finals, through the performance of the semi-finals, the audience also wants to see how the players are doing, and has another psychological expectation for tomorrow night's final.

The audience at the scene was so enthusiastic that Wei En would not leave them out in the cold. He had been interacting with the audience from the moment he was preparing to enter. Without delaying the progress of the game, this semi-final became completely personal to him.

Show.

The 200-meter event is only a part-time event for him. Before the World Championships, he only competed in one 200-meter event, but it made countless track and field fans look forward to it.
