Chapter 337: Battle at the Peak!
Bolt's final result was 9.87 seconds, about 0.1 seconds better than Tang Hao, but everyone could see that he had a deceleration process at the end, and the start was not very good. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In addition, this also conveyed another message to the audience, the Jamaican flyer has adjusted his condition, and is waiting for tomorrow to compete with Tang Hao.
At the end of the 100-meter semi-finals, Zhang Beimeng and Su Bingtian finally missed the final, but they did not leave the audience immediately, because after a while, there was a 200-meter preliminaries on the field.
Tang Hao and Su Bingtian returned to the locker room, and Zhang Beimeng, who had just finished the game, came back, and the latter only finished sixth in the group.
Xie Zhenye also came, and he and Tang Hao were going to participate in the next 200-meter preliminaries.
Although the distance is longer, the attention of the 200m is not at all lower than that of the 100m, and in fact, many of the 200m runners are also 100m runners.
To some extent, this shows that the organizers are not so reasonable in terms of event arrangement.
However, the good news for Tang Hao is that he did not have as many grievances as in the 200-meter preliminaries as in the 100-meter.
Usain Bolt is in the first group, Xie Zhenye is in the second group, and Tang Hao is in the third group.
Usain Bolt was invincible in the 100m, but in reality, his 200m was even crazier because there was no start in the 100m after the 200m, which made Bolt tend to be faster in the last 100m than in the first 100m.
The crowd cheered and Usain Bolt lived up to expectations, and despite the closing of the race, the Jamaican still ran a world-class time of 19.92 seconds to reach the semi-finals.
After Bolt, followed by Xie Zhenye, Xie Zhenye's group put a lot of pressure on Jamaican player Will, and in the end, Xie Zhenye crossed the finish line in the fourth place, and whether he can advance to the semifinals depends on the situation of the other groups.
After Xie Zhenye, Tang Hao also appeared on the stage, Tang Hao's opponent in this group was the weakest of the four groups, and because of the relationship between the opponents, he obviously gained obvious strength, and finally won the first place in the group with a time of 20.60 seconds, and successfully entered the semifinals.
Coincidentally, it is precisely because of the poor strength of this group that Xie Zhenye finally became one of the two third-place finishers with the best results, and also advanced to tomorrow's semifinals in a thrilling way.
By the end of the 200m, the day of the World Championships was finally over.
Unlike the previous night, because the finals of the long-distance running events had already been completed, after the afternoon race, the crowd was over, and the lively Moscow Stadium ushered in a quiet night for the first time.
In the huge track and field field, under the taunting lights, only the on-site staff are cleaning up the garbage left by the spectators during the day.
However, on the track, there is still a runner who is repeatedly training for starting and sprinting.
"Whew~"
Tang Hao gasped and walked back to the starting point, this was the first time he had practiced before the game since he participated in the World Championships.
The main reason for this is to adapt to the ninety percent power of the Shenxing Taibao, and tomorrow's opponent is Usain Bolt, and he doesn't want any accidents at that time.
Stoke was standing on the sidelines, cheering him on while eating ice cream.
Stoker's pole vault competition is over, and the next two days will be quite relaxing for her.
Tang Hao practiced starting and sprinting a few more times, and after making sure that he was almost adapted, he stopped.
Seeing that Tang Hao was almost done, Stoke ran over with a towel and water, wiping his sweat and handing him water.
"I said, you're about to become my babysitter. Tang Hao said jokingly with a smile.
"I like it. Stoke smiled charmingly.
"Besides, I don't want you to lose tomorrow's game. Stoke followed.
"Don't you want Gatling or Guy to win?" said Tang Hao and took a sip of water.
"Of course I hope so, but I prefer you to win, and if you lose, I think there's an 80% chance that you won't take me to Lake Baikal. Stoke said earnestly.
"Ahem......" Tang Hao was coughed by the water cavity.
Stoke hurriedly reached out and patted him on the back.
"Ahem. After Tang Hao eased up, he looked at Stoke a little speechlessly, "Am I unreliable?"
"My gut feeling. Stoke stuck out his tongue mischievously.
Tang Hao smiled and didn't say anything, in fact, no matter whether the game was won or lost, he promised Stoke that he would definitely go, and said that a woman's sixth sense is very accurate, but this American girl is still a little worse.
The practice was almost complete, and after taking Stoke to dinner, he followed and sent the American chick back.
Tomorrow is the final of the 100m, and he still has to rest early.
The next day, the sky was clear, and the spectators arrived at the stadium early.
After yesterday's preliminaries and semi-finals of the "small snacks", today's finals are finally about to be served.
The scene was crowded and the stadium was overcrowded.
This game, which has been brewing for more than a year, will really be staged in front of everyone's eyes in a few minutes.
Media reporters were also prepared as soon as possible.
Commentators from various countries are also in place early.
The TV stations of the countries that broke into the finals are also full of attention at this time.
Reaching the finals is already an honor for a country in itself, and it also means that no matter what the result is, they have something to cheer for.
At this time in China, the official live broadcast of the CCTV 5 channel has explosive ratings, because it is a weekend, it can be said that basically every household is watching this game.
Tang Hao VS Usain Bolt, what else is more exciting than this?
The organizer also made additional preparations for this game, and placed two T-shirts in the position of each spectator, one is red with Tang Hao's head, and the other is yellow with Bolt's head, and the audience can choose any piece of clothing to wear after arriving at their seats, as a way to express their support for the players.
The result is also conceivable, almost all the audience wore yellow T-shirts, and the scene can be said to be yellow.
The players followed into the field, and Bolt's appearance quickly drew deafening cheers from the audience.
Bolt saw his head printed on the audience's shirt, his face was a little excited, this is Russia, what better honor could there be?
Tang Hao followed in, saw the scene at the scene, was slightly stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
Such a move suddenly made him feel that the group of Russian audiences in front of him was not so annoying, but a little cute.
One by one, the contestants entered the venue, and the emotions of the audience continued to rise.
You must know that the people standing on the track and field at this time are all the strongest 100-meter athletes in the world today.
After the contestants were ready, the contestants were introduced on the spot.
First Runway, Rogers.
Second runway, Powell.
Third runway, Gatling.
Fourth runway, Tang Hao.
Fifth Runway, Usain Bolt.
Sixth runway, Blake.
Seventh Runway, Guy.
Eighth runway, Carter.
There are 8 runners, 3 from the United States and 4 from Jamaica, which fully explains that the United States and Jamaica are the two strongest sprinting kingdoms in the world today, and this race is also a real competition between Jamaica and the United States.
Tang Hao, who was in the center, looked very abrupt at this moment.
In particular, his red national team uniform, which is between the yellow of Jamaica and the white of the United States, looks particularly eye-catching.
After Bolt took off his jacket and trousers, he kept looking at the track, and it could be seen that he had put himself into the game in advance, and his whole expression was very focused.
Top athletes don't usually take the World Championships as seriously as the Olympics, but judging by Bolt's expression at this moment, he has never taken the competition more seriously.
On Tang Hao's left-hand side, Gatlin is also eager to try at this time, although both verbally and psychologically, he has realized that it is a mistake for him to encourage Tang Hao to enter the track and field competition, but as a top player, he obviously hopes to win the championship in this kind of competition, and defeat Bolt and Tang Hao at the same time, the gold content of this championship is definitely super high.
Actually, it's not impossible, considering that earlier this year, he beat Usain Bolt to win the 100m indoor track and field event.
Not only the three highest-level opponents, but also Blake, Powell, Guy and other players, although they did not play as well as Tang Hao in the preliminaries and semifinals, their personal best times were within 9.85 seconds, and they also have the strength to win the championship.
As the seconds passed, the game approached step by step, and the emotions of the audience were getting higher and higher.
When the players began to squat down at the starting point, the audience forced their excitement and stared at the field without blinking.
"This pinnacle showdown is finally going to be played out in front of us. After the narrator finished speaking, he also looked nervously at the starting point.
"All in place. ā
The electronic beep was clearer than ever.
"Ready. ā
"Bang!"
With a gunshot, the audience could no longer control their emotions and shouted at the first time.
And at the moment when the gun rang out, all the players rushed out at the first time.
Bolt's start was near-perfect, his best start of the year.
Gatlin, like his nickname, Acceleration, gained plenty of speed at the start, and rushed out almost at the same time as Usain Bolt.
In contrast, Tang Hao's start was relatively poor, and he, along with Blake, was in a tie for third place after the start.
When competing against averages, his starting point doesn't have that much impact, and even his super-fast physical reflexes can mask this even with the likes of Blake, but compared to the likes of Usain Bolt and Gatlin, this is a disadvantage.
Gatlin began to accelerate wildly, and he quickly overpowered everyone, including Bolt.
"Justin has been doing quite well, having beaten Usain Bolt in the indoor track and field competition, and he has a good chance of continuing that saga this time!" said the commentator was also impressed by Gatlin's opening performance.
After 30 meters, Gatling's lead was already half a meter away.
Usain Bolt is close behind, and Tang Hao is still tied with Blake for third.
The other players are trying to catch up.
At 50 meters, Gatlin was still in first place, and his eyes were full of hideousness, and he could see that he was exploding unreservedly.
The 30-meter lead is actually nothing, just like Su Bingtian, he has also achieved the 30-meter lead, and he has done it more than once.
But that wasn't enough to guarantee anything, as it was only a great start, but Gatlin was still leading in the 50m, which means his hopes of winning tonight are quite good.
After all, for a top-notch player like Gatlin, victory or defeat can sometimes be a split second.
"I think when all the focus is on Don and Bolt, Gatlin came out halfway to surprise everyone!"
But at this moment, there was a cheer from the scene, and after Bolt crossed the 60 meters, he began his familiar acceleration, and the whole person strode away, narrowing the gap with Gatling little by little.
The Jamaican Flyer proved he was still at his peak with a strong performance.
But as soon as the cheers started, there was another uproar.
On the left side of Bolt, Tang Hao, who was in the middle, almost started to speed up, and his acceleration was not inferior to Bolt at all!
The three of them quickly distanced themselves from the other five contestants.
"This is the most exciting game in human history!" The on-site commentator was also excited to see this scene.
I thought Gatlin was playing well enough, but as the race entered the final 40 meters, the results became confusing again.
At 70 meters, Gatlin finally began to decline, and the relentless sprint finally made his physical strength a little lacking at this time.
And it was at this moment that Bolt and Tang Hao overtook him one after another.
There was an exclamation at the scene.
Gatlin outran the first 80 meters, but couldn't hold on for the last 20 meters.
And it was this last 20 meters, after a series of twists and turns, that finally entered the link that the audience was absolutely looking forward to.
Tang Hao and Usain Bolt's king showdown!
The hearts of the audience were beating wildly at this moment, and everyone was holding their breath just to witness the last 20 meters.
In fact, not only the audience at the scene, but also the audience from all over the world are staring intently at the screen at the moment, and even come to the computer or the screen, as if it can let them know the result of the game in advance.
"The last 20 meters!" the narrator stopped explaining after saying this, not because he had nothing to say, but because even he didn't want to focus on his own work at the moment.
Suffocating 20 meters!
