Chapter 61 Gaining a Cold Country Fan
For Wei En, the most uncomfortable thing is that the men's long jump final is between the men's 100-meter semi-finals and the final. This means that even if he successfully advances to the 100-meter final, it will be difficult for him to recover to his best when the competition comes.
state.
But no matter what, the devilish schedule of the World Youth Championship must be overcome by Wayne, because his influence is not enough for the organizers to adjust the schedule. Just kidding, he is not Michael Johnson.
"If you can't overcome it, you have no choice but to withdraw from the competition." This was Chen Wenzhong's first reaction after seeing the schedule clearly, and he straightforwardly believed that it was best to give up the long jump event and strive for the 100 meters.
In Chen Wenzhong's view, although Wei En's strength is extremely competitive in these two events, such an intensive schedule is too high a test for physical fitness.
And, what if you get injured?
Wei En is now the treasure of the Guangxi track and field team. He is an athlete that Feng Shuyong, the head coach of the national track and field team, and even the leaders of the Sports Bureau are very optimistic about and pay close attention to. If he is really injured, then he will be blamed!
In this regard, Wei En’s answer is:
"It's okay, trust me!"
There are a total of 58 participants in the men's 100-meter event at the Moncton World Youth Athletics Championships, so a total of 8 preliminaries are divided into groups. The first and second groups each have 8 people, and the remaining groups have 7 people each.
There are a total of 24 seats in the semi-finals, so the promotion rules are: the top two in each group from the 8 groups will directly advance, a total of 16 direct qualifications; among the remaining players, the 8 players with the best results will advance by substitution
Semifinals.
There are too many groups in the group stage, and the groups are basically evenly divided according to the strength of each athlete, so the stronger players will not be stupid enough to compete with opponents from other groups for supplementary qualifications.
Wouldn’t it be nice to advance directly?
But even in the first group of the preliminaries, there was a familiar face of Wei En who almost lost the qualification to directly advance because of his betrayal and ended up in the substitute seat.
This person is none other than the future No. 2 sprinter in the Maple Leaf Nation—Aaron Brown.
The wind was a bit strong in the first group of the preliminaries. Under the wind speed of 2.2m/s, Aaron Brown ran faster and faster. Although his pace was suppressed by Julien WATRIN of Belgium throughout the whole process, he still
It’s also good to qualify second.
Arriving at the 80-meter mark, Aaron Brown observed his opponent's position and felt that he could save some energy by letting go of water, so he began to slow down slightly at 90 meters.
But what he didn't notice was that when he turned his head back after observing his opponent's position at 80 meters, the wave player Grzegorz ZIMNIEWICZ across the aisle suddenly exerted force and strode towards Aaron Brown.
The two crossed the finish line almost at the same time, scaring Aaron Brown, who originally thought he had a chance to win, into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, there was no danger. Although both men's times were 10.37 seconds, Aaron Brown still locked in the direct promotion spot with an advantage of 0.002 seconds.
In the second group of preliminaries, Dexter Lee of Jamaica took first place in the group with a time of 10.38 seconds (1.3m/s).
In the third group of preliminaries, Deji Tubes of England ranked first in the group with a time of 10.49 seconds (0.8m/s).
In the fourth group, it was Wei En's turn.
The elements of this group are somewhat complete. Players from the three East Asian countries gathered together. Wei En faced the future Korean star Jin Guorong, and a neon country player Ryo ONABUTA who he had no memory of.
By coincidence, the two of them happened to be on the left and right sides of Wei En. Wei En was in lane 3, little neon Ryo ONABUTA was in lane 2, and Jin Guorong was in lane 4.
When they came to North America, they could barely be considered "fellow countrymen", but any one of them probably wished that the other two would be eliminated immediately.
Except for two experienced babies, Carrey ABRAHAM from the Federated States of Micronesia and Anguilla's Kicio WELSH, the rest of the players are relatively strong.
average.
This average is about 10 seconds 50, including the previous Aaron Brown and others, the hard power is basically around 10 seconds 50 (±0.05).
Little Neon Wei En didn't care too much, after all, he had never even heard of his name. As for the future star of the cold country, Jin Guorong, with a score of 10 seconds 14 (-0.4m/s), Jin Guorong seems to have to wait until 2017 to beat him.
The competition in this group will undoubtedly be fierce. Jin Guorong, Ryo ONABUTA, Warren Fraser of the Bahamas and others are all the best among the young sprinters in their respective countries, and the difference in strength is very small.
As for Wei En, the direct quota for the semi-finals is just as easy as picking something out of a bag.
After adjusting the running gear and conducting a test run, Wei En still saw Jin Guorong looking at him strangely from time to time, but Wei En ignored it.
"On your marks~"
As the referee's instructions were given, the eight players stepped on the running blocks, prepared their movements, and waited for the shot to be fired.
"Set——"
"boom--!"
When the starting gun was fired, Wayne was suddenly ejected from the running gear like a spring that was stretched to the extreme.
The power burst at the start is very strong, but the start reaction is still a bit slow, only 0.175 s, ranking 4th.
His legs quickly stretched out and touched the ground, connecting the standard four points and one line with the golden three steps. In an instant, Wei En was in an absolute leading position.
Jin Guorong, who was in the next lane, secretly thought that something was wrong, but fortunately he had heard of Wei En's reputation of breaking the Chinese men's 100-meter record, so he was prepared. However, he was still taken aback by Wei En's explosive start.
.
Too fast! Is this really the explosive starting power that yellow people and East Asians can possess?
After 30 meters, Wei En completed the shift of his center of gravity and entered the mid-running stage. Jin Guorong looked at the red figure who was already more than a foot ahead of him, and felt helpless in his heart.
After 50 meters, Wei En entered the maximum speed range. After 60 meters, he was far behind Warren Fraser and Jin Guorong in the second tier.
When the top speed reached 80 meters, Wei En started to look around, then lowered his pace, slowed down and passed the finish line.
10 seconds 33. After another 20 meters distance, Wei En still ran 10 seconds 33 under the wind speed of 0.4m/s, and he was still the best.
After Wei En, Warren Fraser and Jin Guorong hit the line one after another, with results of 10 seconds 46 and 10 seconds 48 respectively.
Wei En shook hands in a friendly manner with Warren Fraser, who came forward to congratulate him, and then prepared to leave the field, but Jin Guorong followed closely and stopped in front of Wei En.
"Wayne, I'm your fan!" Jin Guorong reached out his hand with excitement.
Naturally, Jin Guorong used English. Although it had a strong smell of sticks, Wei En, who had mastered [English, French and Russian - proficient], could still hear it clearly.
"Have you heard of me? Is there any report in Han Country?"
Jin Guorong shook hands with Wei En happily and replied: "There are reports in Han State, but not many. I only got to know you after hearing others mention you and then watching your 100-meter and long jump competition videos."
"Really, who did you hear it from?" Wei En had already let go when he asked this sentence. This sentence was just a courtesy question, but he didn't expect to hear something from Jin Guorong's mouth that made him feel suddenly.
Trembling name.
"Randy, Randy Huntington." Jin Guorong followed Wei En and said as he walked, "He is an American coach hired by our Hanguo national track and field team. He teaches long jump and triple jump, but occasionally he comes to our sprint team to provide training.
Some suggestions. He has often analyzed your competition videos in the past two months and said that your technical movements are the best among Asian sprinters..."
Wei En couldn't remember clearly what Jin Guorong said next, but he clearly heard the name he said at the beginning.
Chapter completed!
