Wei En just said that this Youth Olympic Games is a bit weird.

On the 18th, he easily won the tickets for the men's 100 meters and long jump finals. The same goes for Maria Kurkina, who only jumped 1.76 meters and entered the women's high jump finals as the top scorer in the qualifying round.

There will be no competition on the 20th. The men's 100m finals will be held starting from 18:00 on the 21st.

Note the word - "continuously".

What does that mean?

There are 39 contestants and 5 preliminary groups in the men's 100m preliminaries of the Singapore Youth Olympic Games, but the finals are not just one group, but... the same 5 groups!

The results of the athletes in the preliminaries were divided into five final groups. Whether you ran 10 seconds or more in the preliminaries, or more than 12 seconds, there will always be a finals competition.

Of course, the real "men's 100 meters final" is naturally the final group 5 composed of the first place in each group and the three remaining best results, a total of eight players.

This competition system does not emphasize competitiveness. After all, the Youth Olympic Games requires athletes to be under 18 years old. Track and field is not diving or gymnastics. It is difficult for athletes of this age to show high-level competitive abilities.

However, this does not hinder Wei En's pursuit of gold medals.

At 17:00 on the 21st, Wei En came to the warm-up field to start warming up. When the team leader Chen Lei saw him coming, he greeted coach Sui Xinmei and asked her to warm up first with Zheng Yarong in the women's shot put and Xu Huiqin in the women's 110-meter hurdles.

Wei En is a star athlete in the Chinese representative team. As the team leader, he still has to follow up at all times. Otherwise, if Wei En misses the final inspection, then he will not be able to do his job.

Chen Lei is a middle-aged man of medium build, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. The athletes on the roster for this Youth Olympic Games are all young teenagers. The coaches, team leaders, managers and other personnel are all selected by the field management center.

Experienced and qualified "old people".

"How's it going, Wei En? Are you well prepared for the final?" Chen Lei walked up to Wei En and asked with concern.

Wei En smiled calmly: "Actually, there is nothing to prepare for. Just warm up normally and perform normally in the game."

"Well, that's right! This is what is called strategically despising the opponent, and tactically paying attention to the opponent..."

Wei En was ashamed. He didn't know whether older generation sports people like Chen Lei particularly liked commenting or if he wanted to get close to him. Anyway, after arriving in Singapore, no matter what he said, Chen Lei always acted like "it's natural, Wei En".

Whatever you do is right" attitude.

"I'm going to warm up, Team Leader Chen." Wei En didn't like Chen Lei's compliment, so he pulled Xie Zhenye and ran together in the warm-up field, leaving Chen Lei on the spot.

If you have nothing to talk about with the old uncle, wouldn't it be nice to go and chat with Kulkina?

............

The time came to 18:00 in the evening, and the first group of contestants in the men's 100-meter final had already appeared. In the waiting room, Wei En was wearing a warm jacket, and his mind was focused on the live TV screen.

The competition in the field event is relatively long. Kulkina had already entered the venue and started the competition half an hour ago. Since she was the World Youth Championship champion last year, she would be shot from time to time in the live broadcast.

Like the men's 100-meter final, the women's high jump final was also divided into two groups, so Kulkina has just made her third round of trial jumps, but at this time she has already raised her trial jump height to 1.79 meters.

And this height, except for the Italian alessia trost, is basically the highest level that the other five players can perform.

Kulkina's strength among the women's high jumpers in the Youth Olympic Games is somewhat similar to Wei En's strength among the men's 100 meters and long jumpers. Her personal PB has reached 1.91 meters. This result can be achieved in Moncton.

Those who compete for gold medals in the youth championships will naturally be dimensionally reduced in the Youth Olympics.

After seeing her easily jump over a height of 1.79 meters, Kulkina's opponents basically looked sad, just like Wei En's opponents in the waiting room now.

Odean Skeen from Jamaica is very depressed. He came to Singapore this time with the mentality of becoming a "Bolt" in the Youth Olympic Games. Who would have thought that he would meet a "big devil".

Skeen was born on August 28, 1994. He is the youngest among the eight players in the fifth group of the finals. He only started participating in professional competitions in Jamaica and the Caribbean this year, and has maintained a record of winning 11 shots.

Personal pb is 10 seconds 46 (0.5m/s).

Skeen wanted to rush over and say to him: "Brother, you, a World Youth Championship champion, a national record holder, and a top 50 guy in the world, come to compete with us. Isn't it a bit too much?!"

It's a pity that he didn't have the courage. Not to mention anything else, just seeing Wei En's height of 188 centimeters and his muscular body, Skeen knew that he couldn't beat him.

Wayne didn't know how much Skeen resented him in his heart. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. It's normal to be hated by someone no matter what field you are in.

Time passed little by little, and 20 minutes later, Wei En and his opponents lined up to enter the Bishan Stadium.

Since it is an open stadium with only stands on the east and west sides, it can accommodate very few spectators, and the total number of seats is less than 6,000.

As usual, Wei En first started to adjust the starting block and then conducted a test run. During the entire preparation process, he cast his eyes on the high jump venue from time to time.

Before his competition started, the women's high jump competition was coming to an end. At this time, the only contestants still competing were Maria Kulkina and the Italian Alessia Trost.

When Kulkina's main rival, Alessia Trost, failed in her second attempt at 1.86 meters, Kulkina had already raised her trial jump height to 1.89 meters, and the difference in strength was evident.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! During the preparation process, Wei En could often hear cheers for him coming from the stands on the right.

Singapore is a country dominated by ethnic Chinese, and the vast majority of these ethnic Chinese groups can speak Chinese. In addition, there are also a large number of Chinese students in Singapore. Therefore, although the competition is abroad, the cheers are still very loud.

kind.

However, the language used by the live host is naturally English:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the men's 100-meter final group 5 competition is about to begin. Let us get to know the eight players on the field. They are-"

"Course 1, from Fiji - lepani naivalu."

"Track 2, from Thailand - Jirapong Meenapra.

"Track 3, from Neon - Masaki Kishimoto."

"No. 4, from China - Wei En!"

When the top three players were introduced, except for a small number of spectators in the stadium who shouted loudly because they were introducing players from their own country, the rest of the spectators gave polite applause.

But when we arrived at Wei En, the whole audience cheered.

Don't ask, it's home field advantage (fake).

In order to cater to the enthusiasm of the audience, Wynn imitated Bolt's classic "take-off" action at the World Championships in Berlin and showed a confident smile to the camera.

"Lane 5, from Jamaica - Odean Skeen."

The camera showed Skeen of Jamaica, but Skeen was a little stunned, because... the move that Wayne just did, but he had already thought about using it to pay tribute to Bolt before the game.

of!

But now Wei En actually did this action first, Skeen is so disgusted!

Why, I'm obviously a Jamaican, but you, a Chinese, come to the Youth Olympic Games to abuse food, why do you still want to steal my moves qaq

It hurts, it hurts so much!

"Channel 6, from England - David Brinwa."

“Track 7, from Zimbabwe – Tinashe Samuel Mutanga.”

"Track 8 is from Antigua and Barbuda - Tahir Walsh."

In the high jump venue, Maria has just conquered 1.89 meters, and her opponent Alessia Trost is still challenging for the third chance of 1.86.

Alessia Trost was not as strong as her. Even if she really jumped 1.89, Maria was confident that she could raise the height to 1.91 meters, so Maria, who was somewhat relaxed at this time, set her sights on the men's 100m final in the distance.

In the last 10 meters and the last 3.7 steps, Wei En raised his right hand and pointed it at the audience with his palm as a gun, completing this final performance handsomely and elegantly.

"There is no suspense, Wei En destroyed this game! He successfully crowned the Youth Olympic Champion!"

Wei En, who won without any suspense, did not pay attention to the number on the timer this time because he knew that his method of celebrating in the last 10 meters would make it impossible to continue to set a new personal best.

So he focused all his energy on interacting with the audience and reporters. He was very satisfied with the action of pointing the gun at the auditorium. Unfortunately, he couldn't put on a pair of sunglasses. If he had sunglasses, it would be a sure kill.

But Wei En may have been too focused on the interaction. He looked to the right and didn't notice that there was someone standing on the path he was running...

"ah!"

At the same time as a scream came, Wei En also felt as if he had bumped into someone. Although he was not running at full speed, with his size, even if he bumped into someone at a trot, it would definitely not be comfortable, not to mention that the person he bumped into was someone who heard the sound.

a girl.

Wei En subconsciously reached out his hand, hugged the girl's arm, and braked urgently at the same time.

Unexpectedly, he stumbled suddenly and fell down uncontrollably. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and was physically strong enough to support the ground in time with his hands.

The audience in the stadium saw this situation and exclaimed for a while. They were relieved when they saw that Wei En used his hands to support his body in time and did not fall on the girl.

Under normal circumstances, if you knock someone down, you should help the person up as soon as possible and apologize, but at this time, both Wei En and the girl who was knocked down were stunned at the same time.

"M...Maria?"
