Chapter 33 I’m just a child
1China——Lao Yi——6.61Q
2 America – Terrell Kimmons – 6.61Q
3 Liberia – Abe Moru – 6.68Q
4 Qatar – Samuel Francis – 6.72
5 Neon - Jiangliguang Shi - 6.75
...
When the rankings appeared on the big screen in the stadium, Kimmons had "WTF" written all over his face?
No, where did this Chinese guy come from?
He was the runner-up in this year's National Indoor Championships. Although this shot was indeed misleading, can anyone explain why a Chinese was able to kill him?
Kimmons is very angry. This anger may be no less than that of Trammell losing to Liu Xiang in the Athens Olympics. Fortunately, it is only the preliminaries. If it is the finals or semi-finals and he loses the qualification for the finals because of losing to the Chinese, who knows what day it will be.
After this game is broadcast back to the United States, what will American track and field fans do to him?
Kimmons's face was as dark as ink (although he was born with a dark face), and he left the field without saying hello to his opponents in the same group. Even if Lao Yi took the initiative to come to him and wanted to shake hands, he would just pretend that he didn't.
hear.
After seeing Kimmons' reaction, Lao Yi felt secretly happy, although he knew that if Kimmons used all his strength, he would not be his opponent.
He shook hands with his teammates Masashi Erikuchi, Francis, and Lee Kang-long of Singapore in turn to show courtesy. Lao Yi walked off the field with a nine-point satisfaction. The reason for deducting one point was of course because of the start of the shot just now.
There are some small problems.
Being ranked first in the group gave Lao Yi a lot of confidence. Although he has just finished the first shot in the preliminaries, he is already thinking about a possibility: reaching the finals!
When this idea appeared in my mind, it was out of control. Things that I never dared to think about before, today... seem to be possible!
In the second group of preliminaries, English star Dewan Chambers advanced with a time of 6.59 seconds.
Compared with the wonderful performance of Lao Yi who beat Kimmons in the first group, the players in the second group were no threat to Chambers.
The second-placed African star OgheneEGWERO only ran a time of 6.73 seconds, and could not even touch Chambers' hair.
The third group can be said to be "rookies pecking each other".
Brian Mariano of the Netherlands Antilles took first place in the group with a time of 6.66 seconds, second was Barakat Al-Hati of Oman (6.69 seconds), and third was Harry of England.
·Akins Arrieta (6.72 seconds).
Well, what's interesting is that the results of these three people happen to be an arithmetic sequence.
It will soon be the turn of the fourth group of players to appear. Among this group is an American player that Wayne quite likes - Michael Rogers.
Every time Wei En clicks on his homepage on the IAAF official website, he can't help but laugh out loud, because the picture the IAAF arranged for him can really make people want to laugh at the first sight.
Compared to Justin Gatlin, who won the 100-meter title at the Athens Olympics at the age of 22, and Tyson Gay, who achieved the Triple Crown in Osaka at the age of 25, Michael Rogers' career seems a bit "mediocre."
When Gatlin and Gay had already become famous, Rogers, who was born in 1985, was still working hard towards the 10-second mark, 10 seconds 63 in 2004, 10 seconds 30 in 2005, 10 seconds 26 in 2006, and 10 seconds in 2007.
10, 2008 10 seconds 06...
It wasn't until 2009 that he broke the 10-second mark at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene with a strong tailwind of 1.7m/s and ran 9.94 seconds.
A time like 9.94 seconds is unbeatable in Asia, but it is not conspicuous in the United States. Although he still got a ticket to the Berlin World Championships, he only ran 10.04 seconds in the first group of the semi-finals and ranked third.
Five, missed the World Championship finals.
Such an athlete whose appearance is not handsome enough and whose personality is not domineering enough can only be used to vent his anger by the big guys in domestic competitions. In order to make money, he comes and goes almost every season, traveling to various parts of the world to participate in various levels.
competition.
Last year alone, Rogers participated in 21 100-meter events, with a total of 27 shots!
When he got the group list for the men's 60-meter event last night, Wei En went out of his way to check Rogers' information and found that he had actually started participating in competitions since January 23.
As of today, he has participated in 6 indoor 60-meter events in the 2010 season, with a total of 12 shots!
This frequency of participation is worthy of the name of "model worker".
"Your partner has already given Kimmons a big surprise, so are you preparing a surprise for me later?"
When Wayne arrived on the track and was about to start adjusting the starting blocks, he heard Rogers, who was also bending over to adjust the starting blocks, ask something in his ear.
At present, although the phenomenon of discrimination against Chinese athletes in international competitions is not common, at least it is rare for someone like Rogers to take the initiative to speak to Chinese athletes.
Unless you are a big shot like Liu Xiang, who even Aris Merritt regards as his idol.
Wayne's spoken English is not very good, but his hearing is good, and Rogers seemed to have deliberately slowed down his speaking speed, so he was able to understand what he meant.
"I don't know, I'm only 17 years old, still just a kid." Wayne replied.
Rogers smiled: "Really? I don't believe it."
Wayne shrugged, Rogers said nothing more upon seeing this, and the brief exchange ended.
The two people immediately entered the state, began to carefully adjust their starting blocks, and then conducted a test run.
Wayne is in lane 3, Rogers is in lane 4, lane 5 is Cote d'Ivoire's Ben Yusuf Mete, and lane 6 is Rodney Green of the Bahamas.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The other four athletes, whom he neither knows nor is interested in knowing, and whose names he has never heard of in his previous life, probably will not pose any threat to him.
"Rogers is a ruthless character. This year's National Indoor Championship champion, it would be great for Wayne to finish second in his group."
"Indeed, the other opponents are not too strong. As long as Wei En can show his strength within 6 seconds and 65 seconds, he should be second in the group."
Feng Shuyong and Yu Weili thought so, and so did Wei En.
He watched Lao Yi's performance in the inspection area and knew that Lao Yi made a mistake in starting due to nervousness, so he had no choice but to use all his strength to catch up with Kimmons.
But he was different. After briefly searching the opponent's information last night, he knew that this shot would be easier to run.
Unless Rogers wants to fight him head-on, but from the conversation with him just now, it can be seen that Rogers has no such idea.
After finishing the pre-match adjustments, all eight athletes returned to their respective lanes.
As the "Onyourmarks" command came from the electric speaker, the athletes stepped forward skillfully and stepped on the starting block, making ready movements, relaxing their bodies as much as possible, and waiting for the preparatory command.
"Set——"
Wei En took a deep breath for the last time, quickly raised his waist and hips, and was ready to go.
"boom--!"
He knew his opponent's level well, and his own level was also clear, so Wei En knew that this shot did not require full use.
RT0.201, among the eight players in the fourth group, Wei En's starting reaction ranked second to last, like Lao Yi, only better than Jack Iroga of Solomon Islands.
Moreover, this Jack Iroga's 100-meter PB is only 10.93, which only meets China's first-level athlete standards.
Experience babies from Oceania.
The starting reaction was lagging behind, but Wei En's acceleration at the start was not ambiguous, and he connected with the "four points and one line" after starting with a strong kick.
Chapter completed!
