After the war, the Luzhniki Stadium turned into a sea of ​​joy, especially the Jamaican audience at the scene, who were extremely excited and excited.

So exciting!

Just 0.02 seconds away, just 0.02 seconds away, Jamaica will lose this precious men's 4x100m relay gold medal!

While people cheered and celebrated the great Jamaican relay team, they also did not forget to send encouragement to the Chinese team, which was glorious despite the defeat. When the handover was obviously lagging behind, Wei En, who guarded the fourth leg, obviously made progress in the later stages.

Recover the gap.

People can't help but wonder in their hearts: If the end point of the competition is moved back 20 meters, will the final victory belong to the Chinese team?

So many ifs, but unfortunately there are no ifs.

This is the case in competitive sports, especially in sprint events where milliseconds matter. There are many conditions that can affect the final outcome. But when the result is determined, people can only daydream and sigh.

With a gap of 0.02 seconds, it would be false to say that there are no regrets, but this Chinese relay team also tied for the highest honor in team history. After the World Championships in Daegu, it won the silver medal in the men's 4x100m relay at the World Championships for the second time.

Not to mention that this time the result was an astonishing 37.13 seconds. It was just one year and seven days after the Chinese team set the Asian record of 37.40 seconds at the London Olympics. The Chinese team once again significantly refreshed the Asian record held by them.

record.

The time of 37.13 seconds is currently second only to the Jamaican team’s 36.84 seconds (London Olympics), 37.04 seconds (Daegu World Championships), 37.10 seconds (Yenjing Olympics), and 37.11 seconds (Mexico World Championships).

And the 37.04 seconds the American team ran at the London Olympics.

Of course, judging from the current situation, the 37.04 seconds set by the American team at the London Olympics is likely to be canceled due to Tyson Gayin's doping. Then the 37.13 seconds set by the Chinese team this time is also enough.

Ranked fifth in history!

From being beaten by the Neon team to now firmly sitting in the world runner-up, under the leadership of Wei En, this Chinese relay team in the golden age of sprinting is quite a bit like the "golden generation".

At least in the history of Chinese track and field, and in the history of Asian track and field, there is no one before, and it is unclear whether there will be anyone in the future.

...

"37 seconds 13, I never dared to think about it before, but now I can do it!"

"Beautiful! So beautiful! Lao Yuan, you are leading the relay team well!"

In the spectator seats, Feng Shuyong, the head coach of the national track and field team, looked at the four Chinese team boys who were wearing national flags and cheering. He felt proud and proud. At the same time, he did not forget to express his affirmation and praise to the head coach of the relay team, Yuan Guoqiang.

"It's not that I lead them well, it's that these little guys have been making progress, training hard, and maintaining a good team atmosphere. As the head coach of the relay team, I haven't actually made much contribution."

Yuan Guoqiang's words are very humble, but in fact, why is he not proud in his heart?

As China's first national record holder in the 100-meter race after the era of telegraphy, Yuan Guoqiang has been looking forward to the day when China's sprinting can reach the world level since he retired as a full-time coach.

But after entering the 21st century, the world's sprint level is still improving rapidly, but domestic sprinting has stagnated. China's sprint has entered an era of talent shortage.

During this period, in 2002, Chen Haijian ran 10.17 seconds to tie the national record. Until 2010, although there were people like Hu Kai who made waves, they still could not cover up the decline of Chinese sprinting.

This status quo remained until 2010.

At the 2010 National Indoor Track and Field Championships, Wei En emerged as a teenager and broke the national 60-meter record with a time of 6.56 seconds.

At the Doha World Indoor Track and Field Championships that followed, Wei En even miraculously ran an astonishing time of 6.53 seconds, tying for second place with American star Michael Rogers, one of the favorites to win the championship at the time, and took the first place in the history of Chinese track and field.

A world championship sprint medal.

After the start of the outdoor season, Wei En first ran 10.14 seconds at the Kunshan National Grand Prix, setting a new national 100-meter record. Later, he won gold medals at the World Youth Championships in Moncton, the Singapore Youth Olympic Games, and the Asian Games trials.

He once again showed his bravery and ended Lao Yi's short history of keeping national records. At the Guangzhou Asian Games at the end of the year, he even broke the Asian record in one fell swoop. Since then, the Asian record has been maintained by Wei En, and no one can come close.

In just three years, under the leadership of Wei En, the Chinese men's 100-meter level has made a huge leap, from the previous top level in Asia to now the world's top level second only to Jamaica and the United States.

level!

In addition to the most relevant men's 100-meter event, the men's 200-meter and women's 100-meter events also have different improvements. The growth of Xie Zhenye and Wei Yongli is the best evidence, because the relationship between the two of them and Wei En is very close.

If any field wants to achieve rapid development, it must have a "leader". For China Dash, Wei En is such an indispensable "leader".

The future is yet to be determined, but this year Wayne has indeed achieved his dominance in the 100-meter and 200-meter events. [Jamaica Lightning] Usain Bolt was defeated by him, and [American Acceleration] Justin

·Gatlin was also convinced of his defeat.

It is normal for the Chinese relay team to lose to the Jamaican team. In terms of personal strength, Wynn is slightly better than Bolt, but the characteristics of the relay event cause the gap between the two in this game to be greater than the 100-meter individual event.

Much smaller, the two of them can be said to be close to a 50-50 split.

In the first leg, Su Bingtian and this year's Nesta Carter were almost evenly matched in terms of personal strength, but their handover skills and cooperation gave Su Bingtian the advantage.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the second round, Zhang Peimeng was also able to form a 50-50 situation with Bailey Cole. The pure running ability may be slightly inferior, but

The smooth handover between Zhang Peimeng and his two teammates can basically make up for the slight gap in personal strength.

The only one with a big gap is Xie Zhenye and Yohan Blake in the third leg. Yuan Guoqiang also feels helpless in this duel. With Xie Zhenye's current personal strength, the third leg has actually been beaten.

Very good, but there is no way. Who can let his opponent be a super strong man who is tied for third place in the history of 100 meters?

Therefore, such a super result of 37.13 seconds actually exceeded Yuan Guoqiang's psychological expectations. He only lost 0.02 seconds to the Jamaican team. What is it if it is not a proud defeat?

The Chinese men's relay team has performed increasingly well in the world competition in recent years, and is now even able to beat the American team and compete with the Jamaican team.

Looking at the overall project, American Dash is still strong, but its cutting-edge strength seems to be somewhat unsustainable.

Tyson Guyon admitted that he took doping. No matter what the verdict of World Athletics and the Anti-Doping Agency is in the future, he will inevitably be banned from competition for more than one year.

After returning from suspension, Tyson Guyon is also getting older. It may be difficult to maintain the world-class level as in recent years in the future. In recent years, among the sprinters born in the 1990s in the United States, there are not very impressive ones.

A stunning existence, quite a bit of a desolate scene.

But there is no telling what the future holds. Maybe a super genius will suddenly appear in the United States next year?

At this time in Mexico, the sun has not yet set, not to mention that the award ceremonies for several events have not yet been held, so most of the spectators are still sitting in the stadium waiting for the end of this world championship.

After walking around the field, Wei En and his teammates also came to the media area and began to accept interviews as usual. The first person to take care of was naturally his own CCTV reporter.

The interviewer is still Tong Rina, who is very familiar to Chinese audiences:

"I would like to ask the four boys from the Chinese team. The time difference between you and the Jamaican team was only 0.02 seconds. It can be said that it was a close defeat. Do you feel regretful because you failed to win the game and get this gold medal?

?”

Regarding this issue, Su, Zhang, and Xie handed it over to Wei En in a tacit understanding.

Wei En tied the two corners of the red flag into a knot and used it as a cloak. He smiled in front of the camera and said, "It would be false to say that I have no regrets. Since I became a professional athlete, I have been striving for better results and higher goals."

of honor.”

"But I am also very happy to receive this relay silver medal, because we ran to 37.13 seconds, which significantly refreshed the Asian record held by ourselves. This shows that our relay team has been making progress and is always improving.

We are constantly approaching the highest level. I believe that one day in the future, the Chinese relay team will be able to get what they want and win the gold medal in front of the whole world!"

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

Gui Province, the capital is Nanning.

In a small hotel near the Jiangnan training base, there is a large color TV set in the lobby, which is playing a live broadcast of the Mexico World Championships.

This small restaurant has been booked by the Guangxi track and field team tonight. Coaches, team members, and support staff from all sports come here to have dinner and watch tonight's World Championships in Mexico.

"Oh, Wen Zhong, I really didn't expect that the child I took care of back then was already number one in the world in less than four years! And I am retired now~"

Li Yingcai looked at the TV screen and saw Wei En, who was talking eloquently to reporters and showing the demeanor of a famous general, and couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Wenzhong smiled when he heard this, picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass for Li Yingcai, who was already half white-haired, and signaled to the coaches at the same table: "Come on, today is a happy day, cheers!"

"Cheers cheers!"

"It's boring, no one is allowed to be left alive!"

The coaches kept pandering to him and poured wine into his stomach. Li Yingcai took the initiative to beg for mercy, saying that he had a bad stomach due to his age, so he only drank half a cup, but the coaches did not make things difficult for him.

Li Yingcai took another bite of vegetables to fill his stomach, and then asked Chen Wenzhong: "Wen Zhong, aren't Lao Yi and Chen Guanjie both in Mexico? Why don't you go with them? Yes, if you hadn't called me today.

, I can’t eat this meal tonight.”

Chen Wenzhong also added a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth and replied: "Since Mr. Yuan is here, I won't join in the fun. After all, Lao Yi and Guan Jie are both relay substitutes without individual qualifications. Besides, the National Games will be held in a month."

Okay, isn’t the bureau going to let me take care of the men’s and women’s relay? So I might as well not go to Mexico and stay in Nanning to make preparations. I’ll start working directly after Wei En and the others come back.”

"The National Games? You really need to be prepared! Hey, who are the relay rosters for our Guangxi men's team this year?"

As soon as Li Yingcai said this, the coaches at the same table also looked at Chen Wenzhong curiously.

Chen Wenzhong pointed at the TV: "I won't mention the three above. If there is another main player, I need to think about it again. In fact, you all know them, they are just Cheng Qiang and Zhao Yaoke."

All the coaches nodded. They actually knew Cheng Qiang and Zhao Yaoke better than the three people who went to the United States or the national team for training all year round.

If Wei En were here, he would feel familiar when he heard the names of Cheng Qiang and Zhao Yaoke.

In the original time and space, Cheng Qiang served as the main member of the Chinese men's 4x100m relay team at the 2011 Kobe Asian Championships and the Daegu World Championships. However, the overall strength of the Chinese team at that time was at that level, so Cheng Qiang did not win anything with the team.

honor.

Although Cheng Qiang in this time and space missed the national team, Wei En led to the reform of domestic sprint training concepts, and Cheng Qiang's personal development has also improved to a certain extent compared to the original time and space.

In the original time and space, Cheng Qiang's PBs for the indoor 60-meter and outdoor 100-meter events were 6 seconds 70 and 10 seconds 29 (1.6) respectively. In this time and space, they have been improved to 6 seconds 62 and 10 seconds 25 (0.7).

Among them, the time of 10.25 seconds was run in Shenyang on June 15 this year. Logically speaking, this time can compete with Chen Guanjie and Wu Zhiqiang for the qualification of substitute for the relay team, but his competitive state is quite unstable.

He actually lost to Mo Youjie in the semi-finals of the World Championships trials. He didn't even make it to the finals, so naturally he missed the national team.

Another member of the Guangxi relay team proposed by Chen Wenzhong, Zhao Yaoke, was born on January 4, 1994. He is only 7 days older than Chen Guanjie. He is a 200-meter athlete.
