Chapter 333: Who Said 400 Meters Was American?
This made the Russian audience at the scene miserable, they came to watch the game with a hostile mentality, but now Tang Hao is constantly widening the gap with the players behind him, which makes them feel entangled in their hearts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Russian audience was miserable, but the Chinese audience at the scene was getting more and more excited, because as Tang Hao continued to distance himself from other players, their attention could also be completely focused on Tang Hao, and they only needed to see how much Tang Hao could widen the gap.
10 meters.
30 meters.
60 meters.
100 meters.
200 meters
……
As the distance between Tang Hao and the players behind him continues to widen, the mood of the audience is getting higher and higher, and even some Russian audiences are involuntarily cheering for Tang Hao.
In the end, Tang Hao crossed the finish line with a distance of nearly a lap ahead of second-place Farah.
The moment he crossed the finish line, the remaining six or seven thousand spectators in the entire stadium were completely boiling.
Tang Hao's final score was 26:17.51, and there are two prominent letters WR in the upper right corner of this result.
In his debut in the 10,000-meter race at the World Championships, Tang Hao broke the men's 10,000-meter record set by Knys Bekele at the Brussels Grand Prix 8 years ago!
The remaining audience at the scene was completely boiling, and it was definitely exciting to witness the birth of the world record, they shouted Tang Hao's name, although the number was small, but the decibel was not much weaker than during the day.
Tang Hao was also stunned when he saw the time on the timer.
Because there is still an 800-meter preliminaries tomorrow, he was going to run as long as he can win the championship, but the cheers of the audience, no, the boos gave him a lot of encouragement, so he broke the world record without realizing it.
It's a feeling of being laughing and crying.
But after breaking the record, he didn't have so much to deal with after the game.
was dragged by reporters to take pictures on the timer again, and various reporters surrounded and asked questions, so it was not lively.
The interview was almost over, and he was ready to go back and rest early.
At this moment, the reporter who asked the last question congratulated: "Tang Hao, you ran the 400 meters very well today, like Sean Merritt of the American team, in this American sport, you brought a breath of fresh air to the audience." ”
"Wait, you just said, the American movement? When did the 400m become an American sport? Tang Hao said and looked at the reporter.
"First Michael Johnson, then Sean Merritt, they won all the championships in the tournaments, there's nothing wrong with that, right?"
"Well, it's okay for you to say that, according to what you say, 10,000 meters is also an African sport, but in the end, I and Farah, who won the championship and second place, are not Africans, right?" Tang Hao said with a smile.
Tang Hao's answer immediately drew laughter from other reporters.
"But Sean Merritt's dominance in the 400m is clear." The reporter's face was a little unbearable.
"Maybe, but tomorrow we will probably know, let's see if 400 meters is the sport of the Americans, as you said."
Tang Hao's words immediately attracted a burst of laughter from other reporters.
The reporter had no choice but to shut up, but looking at his appearance, he was obviously a little unconvinced.
After the first day of the competition, Tang Hao was still going to go out for a walk, but the words Zhu Huaiyu said to him made him give up those ideas.
But just because he didn't go out doesn't mean he's just sitting alone in the room.
Stoker, a little girl, after finishing training, didn't know where to find some DVDs, which were Russian movies, and shouted to watch them with Tang Hao.
In the end, it was no way, Tang Hao watched a love movie together, Stoke watched it with a crimson face, and Tang Hao was big for a while.
But after watching the movie, this American chick actually pulled him to play the controller game again.
Tang Hao liked to play games in his previous life, and there were many types of handle games in Russia, and they played with constant laughter, and they almost forgot the time for a while.
In the end, it was Stoker's cell phone that rang, and after being taught a lesson, the American girl ran back in disgrace.
When Stoke left, Tang Hao suddenly felt a little empty.
The game is lonely, and to be able to have a woman who has been playing with you and spending all these boring hours with you is indeed a different thing to some extent.
It was this kind of thought that made Tang Hao toss and turn in bed for a long time before falling asleep.
The next day, Tang Hao got up, and the whole person was a little out of state.
Tang Hao got up to warm up, and after washing up, he followed him to the track and field.
Today, in addition to the semifinals of the 400m, he will also participate in the preliminaries of the 800m.
In the 400m semifinals, Tang Hao met McQuay again.
Tang Hao was not in good shape, and finally crossed the finish line only half a meter ahead of McQuay, and his results were a little worse than yesterday.
In the other race, Sean Merritt ran 43.89 seconds, breaking 44 seconds.
In the post-race interview, when the reporter told Tang Hao's answer to Merritt, the current 400-meter king smiled faintly and said: "The 400-meter has always been American, this is a heritage, but I also welcome others to challenge, the biggest charm of competitive sports is that there will be constantly challengers." ”
Merritt's answer was unnamed, but anyone could feel it.
And the Russian media also broke through on Merritt's side, they enumerated the results of Tang Hao and Merritt in the semifinals, and used data to illustrate the strength of the two.
Zhang Beimeng and Su Bingtian were a little indignant about these news, Russia and Americans teamed up to deal with Tang Hao, which is really a rare thing in track and field competitions, but Tang Hao himself seemed very calm.
At noon, he didn't go to the venue to adapt like yesterday, but took a nap.
When he woke up, he felt that his whole mental state had recovered a lot.
At this time, there was only less than half an hour before the 800-meter preliminaries, so he changed into his competition clothes and went directly to the venue.
In the venue, there are many athletes from other countries training, 800 is a test of speed and endurance, for the players, the pressure of the race is not less than that of sprinting.
Because it was a long-distance running event, Zhang Beimeng and Su Bingtian did not come, only he and head coach Zhu Huaiyu were two members of the Chinese team.
Zhu Huaiyu also sat in the audience early, and he seemed a little lonely alone.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it, and after doing the warm-up exercise, he followed it onto the track.
Unlike yesterday's group stage, he was in the first group of the 800m preliminaries, which was the group at the beginning.
Because the king of the 800 meters, Kenya's David Rudisha did not participate in this World Championships, the favorite to win this World Championships is Ethiopia's Oman, this young man is younger than Tang Hao, only 19 years old, but this young man won the 800m championship at the World Indoor Track and Field Championships last year, which can be described as a young fame.
Oman is arguably the most competitive athlete in the 800m after David Rudisha.
His characteristic is the sprint in the second half of the game, and it is precisely because of this kind of competition characteristics that his games are often reversal and good play, which makes the audience enthusiastic to watch.
This has also gained him a lot of fans.
In addition to Oman, American Nick Symonds is another very competitive player in the event.
Tang Hao's biggest opponent in the first group was Nick Simmonds, who had run an excellent time of 1:44.10 in 08.
Tang Hao was taking a nap and didn't know what happened before the race, but in fact, before the race, perhaps it was in solidarity with his teammate Sean Merritt, the long-distance runner in the pre-race interview, bluntly said that God gave him a chance to prove to his teammate Merritt that the track and field is the track and field of the Americans.
Such a pre-game declaration also made the audience look forward to the game.
However, Tang Hao didn't know this, after he came back from his spirit, he was also going to run with all his strength in the afternoon, although he didn't care much, but if he didn't give any response, it would be a bit of a nest.
After the warm-up activities before the race, the players followed to the starting point.
Simmonds turned his head to look at Tang Hao before leaving.
"All in place."
"Ready."
"Bang!"
With the sound of a gunshot, the players rushed out as soon as possible.
Symonds and David Rudisha had a similar style of running, preparing to take the first place in the opening stanza and take advantage of the sprints that followed.
So at the beginning, he accelerated forward with all his might, and soon stood out among many players.
However, after running 50 meters, the scene suddenly burst into boos.
Not for anything else, just because Tang Hao started to do things again.
After rushing out of 50 meters, Tang Hao unexpectedly accelerated rapidly, and the whole person was like a second-stage rocket, and he jumped out of the other players with a sudden bang.
This speed is as fast as the 100-meter speed of ordinary athletes.
Simmonds originally thought that he was going to grab the front position, but he only felt a swish around him, and then when he looked up, he saw Tang Hao running two meters away from him.
He almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.
Why don't you run like this!
After Tang Hao sprinted to grab a favorable position for himself, he followed to maintain a uniform speed, and finally ran 100 meters later, took the lead to run inward and grabbed the first position.
Although Simmonds also accelerated with all his might, he still didn't outrun Tang Hao in the end, and could only be forced to use follow-up tactics.
Although Merritt and McQuaim did not play in the afternoon, they are now watching the game on the sidelines, and they are obviously stunned when they see Tang Hao's actions.
800 meters is very rhythmic, Tang Hao is fast and slow, and he is not afraid of disrupting his rhythm?
In the 200 meters, Tang Hao still maintained the first position, and Simmonds failed to accelerate and overtake several times.
300 meters out, when Simmonds had already given up the chase, Tang Hao suddenly accelerated suddenly, and then when everyone was caught off guard, he quickly opened the distance between him and Simmonds.
After pulling away, Tang Hao didn't give Simmonds and other players any chance, and kept widening the distance.
Merritt and McQuay had completely sat up straight at this time, because they found that the Tang Hao they saw in front of them was the Tang Hao who really used all his strength.
The Russian audience at the scene had completely stopped booing at this time, although they did not cheer for Tang Hao's performance, but it was obvious that they were shocked by Tang Hao's performance.
In the end, Tang Hao was the first to cross the finish line, and the distance between him and Simmonds reached an incredible 20 meters!
And when the timer time came out, the crowd was silent.
1:40.70!
Tang Hao, in the group stage, broke the new world record set by David Rudisha at the London Olympics last year! Became the second person in the world to run 1 minute and 41 seconds!
"It can't be." Merritt was completely stunned at this time, Tang Hao's performance in the group stage can be called the performance of the century, and in the 400-meter semi-finals in the morning, he was sure that this opponent did not have this kind of strength.
"Could it be...... What did you take? McQuay spoke.
"It's unlikely, this is Moscow, Russia has always been the focus of the IAAF, where events are held, and if you take doping, you can find out at the first time." Merritt is smart.
"That means that our opponents tomorrow will be much stronger than expected, much more?" McQuay said with a wry smile.
"Yes, much stronger." Merritt also smiled bitterly, he suddenly found that his reputation in this life was likely to be ruined by his whims.
There was silence, with only a handful of Chinese spectators cheering.
Looking at the reaction of the surrounding audience, Tang Hao smiled bitterly and smashed his mouth, these Russians are really temperamental, and they still endure it at this time.
Okay, let's see how long they can endure.
In the 800-meter group race, Tang Hao completed the race in a way beyond everyone's imagination, which also made all the previous media reports useless.
At this time, they focused more on tomorrow's game, Merritt and Tang Hao's war of words, and there should be a result tomorrow.
At that time, whether Tang Hao will finish the game in such an amazing way is something that the audience can look forward to.
At Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport, the airport was crowded, and at the exit of the airport, hundreds of spectators gathered, holding signs in their hands, on which the name of Usain Bolt was written.
On the second day of the World Championships, Usain Bolt, the most recognizable star on the track and field, finally finished his personal affairs, and it was long overdue.
When Bolt appeared at the exit of the airport, the fans screamed with cheer.
However, what fans didn't expect was that perhaps because of the fatigue of the journey, Bolt just said hello to the fans, did not interact with the fans, and got on the special car to the hotel directly.
This huge welcome ceremony was only a hasty end in the end.
