A relatively simple opening ceremony was held on the evening of March 11. After all, the World Championships and World Indoor Championships hosted by the IAAF are not global comprehensive sports events like the Olympic Games, so they are smaller in scale and do not need too many bells and whistles.

The next day, March 12, the 2010 Doha World Indoor Track and Field Championships officially started!

Even though Wayne always acts relaxed and carefree these days, in fact he is very nervous inside.

The World Indoor Championships are far less well-known than the World Championships, but the level of the event is already the ceiling for indoor track and field events, bringing together top track and field athletes from all over the world.

With so many world famous people here, it would be an absolute lie to say that I am not nervous at all.

At this point in time, world events (Olympic Games, World Championships, Diamond League) are a nightmare for Chinese track and field athletes except Liu Xiang.

Because the gap is so big, even if Chinese track and field athletes, especially sprinters, can barely meet the standards, their performance in the competition is not even worthy of being considered a green leaf.

You can't even cross the neon lights, but you want to defeat those world-famous generals?

It's nothing more than a fool's dream.

Asbel Stadium.

Before the 60-meter event, there are 3000-meter, high jump, long jump, and triple jump events, followed by the more popular 60-meter hurdles and 60-meter event.

Before Liu Xiang and Shi Dongpeng appeared in the men's 60-meter hurdles, only Zheng Xingjuan in the women's high jump and Xie Limei in the women's triple jump advanced to the next round.

In the second group of the men's 60-meter hurdles, Liu Xiang ranked second in 7.79 seconds and advanced smoothly. In the fourth group, Shi Dongpeng ranked fourth in 7.83 seconds and advanced to the semi-finals.

Next, 60 items.

This time for the Chinese track and field team, only Wei En and Lao Yi were qualified for the 60-meter event, so they had to wait for five groups of women's 60-meter events before it was their turn to take the field.

Lao Yi is in the first group and Wei En is in the fourth group.

"Brother Daniel, just go up and run normally. You don't have to fight too hard. Your group is not very strong. Except for Terrell Kimmons, Francis and Masashi Erikochi are all late-range types. You just need to run

If the time is within 6 seconds and 65 seconds, you will definitely advance directly. So don’t consume too much energy in the preliminaries. It’s also to hide your strength. Do you understand?”

Regarding this World Indoor Championships, Wain only remembered that the champion and runner-up were England's Devan Chambers and American "model worker" Michael Rogers. He basically had no memory of the rest of the details.

But he was quite familiar with these famous athletes on the field. With Lao Yi's current state, he could easily be eliminated in the preliminaries even if he didn't try his best, so it was best to hide his strength.

Lao Yi was a little confused because before going from the warm-up field to the inspection area, Chen Wenzhong told him to give it a try and "reaching the semi-finals will count as success."

But Wei En's analysis made sense, so he didn't know who to listen to.

"I'd better adapt to the situation. If I don't perform well at the start, I'll try my best. If I perform well at the start, I'll relax a little more at the end. What do you think?" Lao Yi expressed his thoughts.

Wei En nodded. The course of the game was ever-changing. Lao Yi was not as skilled in mastering the explosive start as he was. If he made a slight mistake in the start, he would really have to work hard.

"Okay, then I'll go up!"

Lao Yi said, followed the opponents in the same group and left the inspection area, making his official debut.

Doha World Indoor Championships, the first group of men's 60m preliminaries is about to begin!

After adjusting the starting block, Lao Yi conducted a test run and then walked back on the plastic track.

After looking around, Lao Yi became less and less confident in the "obscene flow" tactics proposed by Wei En.

In Wei En's words, there seems to be a meaning of "except for Kimmons, they are all weaklings", but Lao Yi has never been able to put this idea into it.

Not to mention those French and Singapore opponents, Francis of Qatar and Masashi Erikochi of Neon are also weaklings?

Isn't this a joke? His PB results are not even among their top 10!

Therefore, Lao Yi felt that it would be better for him to try his best to make a profit when he won and not lose when he lost.

Perhaps Francis and Masashi Erikochi felt that they were unknowns and decided to retain their strength in the preliminaries, and then they were confused by themselves?

Especially for Jiang Liguang, when he thought that he and the neon people were in the same group, Lao Yi felt like a surge of chicken blood was flowing into his body.

On the other side, Masashi Erikochi didn't show much concern about the presence of a Chinese player in his group. What Neon Dash is chasing now is the world class, not a national record that is 0.1 seconds slower than his own PB.

Second-rate country.

Except for Liu Xiangjun, who is "one among 6.7 billion", what is Chinese track and field? Chinese sprint? What kind of rotten fish is that?

In the spectator stands, Feng Shuyong and Yu Weili were paying attention to the men's 60-meter event.

On the first competition day, although there were not many players entering the next round, they had actually reached their expectations. Next, it was up to the two Guangxi guys to compete in the 60-meter race.

Because Wei En and Lao Yi's "appearance" was too sudden, although the two national track and field team bosses were optimistic about them, they were not sure whether they could enter the semi-finals or even the final.

In the stadium, due to the presence of Francis, the people of Qatar were obviously much more enthusiastic than before, even though Francis is a naturalized athlete.

"On your marks~"

This is the English version of the command "Get to your places". Lao Yi had only heard and watched it on TV before. Now this command came to his ears from the electric speaker in front of him, which made him feel a little excited.

After taking several deep breaths to stabilize his mind, Lao Yi was the last to step onto the starting block, taking a ready posture and waiting for the next instruction.

"Set——"

Here it is, the first shot into the world competition. This shot must be a beautiful one!

"boom--!!"

Game start.

Perhaps due to nervousness, Lao Yi's response to the gun was a little slow, only 0.182 seconds, ranking second to last among all players.

The gun response of 0.182 seconds, for the indoor 60-meter event, may be 0.02 or even 0.07 seconds behind the top athletes at the start. This is a very scary gap.

But fortunately, among the eight players present, there is no monster like Yamagata Ryota who always shoots for 0.11 or 0.12 seconds.

The reaction to the gun is slightly behind, but it does not mean that the acceleration from the start is behind others.

Although Lao Yi's mastery of the [Explosive Start] technique is only basic and his proficiency is not as good as that of Wei En, it still helped him greatly improve his ability to accelerate his career.

In the first 10 meters, due to his lagging reaction to the shot, Lao Yi only ranked sixth.

But after 10 meters, due to a large amount of systematic strength and quality training under the guidance of Wei En during the winter training, his physical explosiveness is probably unrivaled among domestic sprinters except Wei En.

Although he did not yet have a clear understanding of this fact, this body that had initially mastered the [explosive start], after hearing the sound of the gun and taking the first step, began to show a future that was not inferior to the world's first-class level.

Acceleration capability.

At 20 meters, Lao Yi's strong acceleration brought him to the fourth position. Behind him was Kimmons, the only strong player in the group, followed by Francis, Liberia's Abe MORLU and

History of Jianglikou Kuang.

Feng Shuyong and Yu Weili in the stands saw Lao Yi's performance in their eyes. Seeing him go from last to fourth in the blink of an eye, they suddenly shouted:

"Beautiful, chase another one!"

"Come on Lao Yi! If you chase one more, you can advance!"

Of course Lao Yi couldn't hear their shouts, but he responded to the two bosses with his own actions.

The stadium’s host commentator also exclaimed:

"With a smooth firing, Kimmons is undoubtedly ahead of everyone."

"Francis' performance is also good, but look at this Chinese -!"

"In the blink of an eye, Lao Yi, the players from China went from the bottom to the top two, and almost crossed the finish line with Kimmons at the same time!"

"6 seconds 61, this is the score given by the finish timer, but it still needs to be verified by the finish referee, let us wait a moment..."

"It's still 6 seconds 61, but it's just two 6 seconds 61. The most unexpected thing happened - Lao Yi from China beat Kimmons of the United States with an advantage of 6.605, 0.002 seconds and won the men's medal.
Chapter completed!
