September 1, 2007, 21:10.

The atmosphere in Nagai Stadium reached the highest climax since the start of the World Championships, and it was also the case that the capital was full.

In the past, many major events, including the men's 100 finals on August 26 and the men's 200m finals on August 30, and the men's 110m hurdles final on August 31, attracted a large number of tourists and local Japanese people, but the overall attendance rate was not 100%.

And tonight's tickets on the evening of September 1 were frenzied after the men's 4×100m preliminaries on August 31.

As the host team, the Japanese team performed amazingly in the men's 4×100m relay heats last night, ranking third in the heats with a time of 38.21 seconds.

It has become a rare performance in the World Championships in Japan since the start of the competition, and it has given a large number of local spectators the hope of competing for medals.

This is also the best result of the Japanese men's relay team in a world-class competition, and judging from the current situation, the Japanese relay team has a good chance of making new history at this World Championships.

After the men's 200m final on August 30, Su Zu achieved the amazing result of defending the men's 1200m double championship, and was almost canonized by the outside world.

However, in the men's 4×100m relay race on August 31, the Chinese team's performance was very thrilling, and only ran 38.68 seconds in the preliminaries, surpassing the Polish team's 38.70 seconds, and advanced to the final with an eighth place.

But at this time, on the sidelines, whether it is Yuan Guohua, the head coach of the relay team, or Li Zhizhong, they are already very fine about this achievement.

"Lao Yuan, you are really in danger!"

Li Zhizhong looked at the eight relay teams on the big screen, couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and said with some emotion.

"It's very dangerous, but the players always have to run more and feel the atmosphere of such a world-class competition." Yuan Guohua, the head coach of the relay team, has not seen him for a long time, the hairline on his forehead is getting back and forth, and there are faint gray hairs on his temples.

The four athletes on the Chinese team yesterday were Su Bingtian, Zhang Peimeng, Wen Yongyi and Chen Yuhang, except for Su Bingtian, the other three participated in the 2005 World Championships, but it really depends on a few people to run into the World Championships finals, which can be said to be extraordinary.

The time of 38.68 seconds was the best time since the four-person relay. This result was only 0.02 seconds faster than the ninth-placed Polish team, and almost lost the qualification for the final.

"You are ......" Li Zhizhong still disagrees with Yuan Guohua's approach, but Yuan Guohua is the head coach of the relay team, and in a sense, the other party did nothing wrong.

"I can't help it, track and field powerhouses like the United States and Jamaica have enough talent reserves in the 4×100m and 4×400m relays. You see, in yesterday's preliminaries, Usain Bolt of the Jamaican team and Tyson Gay of the United States team, two extremely strong players, basically did not have to play in the preliminaries, and they won the first and second place in the group. And our follow-up talent construction is still far away. ”

Having said this, Li Zhizhong also nodded lightly, in fact, Yuan Guohua's arrangement was the best for him, Su Zu's head coach.

Su Zu participated in the World Championships not in one event, but in two events of 100 meters and 200 meters in succession, with only one day of rest between the six days, and from the preliminaries to the finals add up to eight rounds, which is very demanding for athletes.

And the track and field team can't completely rely on Su Zu alone, at the current stage, some unnecessary competitions, if they can be canceled, this is the best choice.

Regarding the arrangement of the members of yesterday's relay race, Li Zhizhong didn't agree with it at first, but considering today's final, he was finally persuaded by Yuan Guohua.

In yesterday's game of the Chinese team, the biggest surprise was that Liu Yangyu created the ninth miracle, won the gold medal in the men's 110-meter hurdles, achieved his personal Grand Slam, and also won the third gold medal for the Chinese track and field team.

The other is the thrilling promotion of the Chinese men's 4×100m relay, but as long as it enters the final, there is still hope today.

In the last World Championships, the Chinese team's result was 38.32 seconds, fifth place, and the current situation, the requirements are actually not high, as long as it is not worse than the World Championships in Helsinki, it is a big improvement.

After all, judging from the results of the preliminaries, Jamaica has fully risen in this World Championships, and although the United States team is missing Justin Gatlin this year, it has Tyson Gay, and its strength is still strong. The relay event of the British team has always been relatively strong, although the individual strength level of the sports eye is average, but the degree of tacit understanding and average strength should not be underestimated.

The other teams from Japan, Brazil and Nigeria also generally performed better in the preliminary round than in the previous World Championships.

At this time, many viewers in China who were following the World Championships in Osaka also turned on their TVs at this point in time to watch one of the most important games of the Chinese track and field team in this World Championships.

Yesterday's relay preliminaries, because there was Liu Yangyu's men's 110-meter hurdles final in the evening, CCTV broadcast it at that time.

When many viewers saw the Chinese lineup in front of the TV, they didn't see Su Zu, and almost all of them jumped up.

The men's 4×100m event may not have had much influence in China, but since the Chinese team won the gold medal in the Athens Olympics in 2004, the 4×100m relay has become the most popular event in China

In addition, since then, the Chinese track and field team has begun to implement relay events to drive individual events, which has attracted the attention of a large number of Chinese people.

In the 2005 World Championships, because it was the replacement of the old and the new, it was understandable that it won the fifth place in the World Championships at that time, but in 2007, only one year away from the 08 Olympic Games, the relay team project has become the top priority of everyone's attention, after all, this is a brilliant project for the Chinese track and field team.

Yuan Guohua's lineup arrangement in the preliminaries of the men's 4×100m relay race made many Chinese people puzzled, why not let Su Zushang, even if the final results came out and he advanced to the eighth place, there are still many people on the Internet who vent this dissatisfaction, and they naturally don't care about the specific reasons or something.

Of course, sane netizens have always been there, and everyone understands how intense Su Zu's games are these days, and it is impossible for him to participate in all competitions.

And judging from the final result, the boys of the Chinese relay team performed very well, even exceeding everyone's expectations.

At the moment when the competition lineup first came out, many people thought that the track and field team had completely given up on this event, or that Su Zu was injured and could not participate.

Although the process made people sweat, the result was finally satisfactory.

Advanced.

At this time, Yang Jian, the on-site commentator, was explaining to countless Chinese people who were paying attention to this game: "...... Audience friends, the most important team event of the World Championships is about to begin, the men's 4×100m relay final. In yesterday's preliminaries, our men's × 100m relay team consisted of Su Bingtian, Zhang Peimeng, Wen Yongyi and Chen Yuhang.

In today's relay final, Su Zu will replace Chen Yuhang as the fourth baton of the Chinese team in this game, and I believe that after a day of adjustment and rest yesterday, China's performance should be even better today......

Okay, so the athletes of the eight finalists are already on the track.

The second is the German team, which finished seventh in the last World Championships, with a preliminaries time of 38.56 seconds, which is also seventh in the preliminaries;

The third lane is the host Japanese team, the Japanese team is the eighth place in the last World Championships, and in the preliminaries of this relay race, they advanced with the third place, and created the best result of the Japanese team, their final lineup is the same as the preliminaries, is Tsukahara Naoki, Hideki Shintani, Takahira Shinji and Asahara;

The fourth British team, the British team has always been very competitive in the relay event, their relay team has a inheritance process, and the individual strength may not be as good as the American team, but they pay great attention to the cooperation of the baton, and their final lineup and preliminaries are also the same, the first baton is Christian Marham, the second is Craig Pickering, the third is Marlon Devonesh, and the fourth is Mark Lewis Francis;

The fifth is the Jamaican team, the Jamaican team is the first place in the preliminaries, with a time of 38.02 seconds, a result that can almost win the championship in the 04 Olympic Games and the 05 World Championships, the Jamaican team has produced a lot of talents in the past few years, their final lineup and the preliminaries have changed slightly, the first is Marvin Anderson, the second is Usain Bolt replacing Steve Mullins, the third is Nesta Carter, and the fourth is Asafa Powell;

The sixth is the United States team, the United States team is considered the biggest favorite to win the World Championships, after the last World Championships The United States team was unexpectedly out of the baton, this World Championships they seem to have improved a lot of relay training. Their line-up for the preliminaries and finals also changed, with Davis Barton, the third batter in the preliminaries, replacing Rodney Martin as the first batter in the final, Wallace Spearmon in second, Tyson Gay in third, and LeRoy Dixon in fourth;

The seventh lane is the Brazilian team, which is the first time that the Brazilian team has reached the final of a major competition of this level at the World Championships, and they performed very well in the preliminaries, running a time of 38.27 seconds;

The eighth is the Nigerian team, Nigeria has always been known as the African eagles, they had a good performance in the '04 Olympics, and they failed to reach the final at the last World Championships in Helsinki, this time they are back;

The ninth lane is the ...... of the Chinese team"

When he said this in one breath, Yang Jian suddenly paused and suddenly raised his voice, "The first baton of the Chinese team is Su Bingtian, a young player who is not yet twenty years old this year, the second baton is Zhang Peimeng, the third baton is Wen Yongyi, and the fourth baton is Su Zu. In the case that Su Zu did not participate in the preliminaries, the Chinese relay team advanced thrillingly. Now we hope that the Chinese relay team can bring us more surprises. The Chinese men's 4×100m relay team shocked the world sports world from the 04 Olympic Games, and has performed well in a number of world-class competitions, and we are fifth in the 05 World Championships in Helsinki, and we face the strong Jamaica and the United States team in this World Championships, and we also have the hope of competing for medals. The ninth lane, a lucky way, yesterday Liu Yangyu created a miracle in the ninth lane, won the gold medal in the men's 110-meter hurdles, and today, we also hope that the Chinese relay team can make persistent efforts and also create a new miracle. ”

At this time, on the field, when Su Bingtian, who was the first to hit him, suddenly felt that his heart was pounding, as if he was about to jump out of his throat.

This is Su Bingtian's first time participating in a world-class competition, and since he entered the national team in 2006, he has not participated in many individual competitions in China.

Now the track and field team has taken the relay event to drive the individual event, and he has practiced the most in the past year or so, from the first to the fourth on the track.

It's not that he is not allowed to practice his personal 100-meter event, but his head coach is Yuan Guohua. Coach Yuan Guohua brought him from the Guangdong provincial team to the national team, and he also saw his potential.

And in the past year, his progress has also been very amazing, it seems that because he has a training reference object and a goal to catch up, whether it is scientific training or personal will progress, he is much stronger than himself in another time and space.

And for sprinters, at the age of seventeen or eighteen they begin to move towards the pinnacle of their careers. With better training conditions and training environment, as well as the motivation of his teammates, he is now able to run between 10.30-10.40 seconds in the 100 meters.

Although this result does not meet the standard of the men's 100m in the individual event, in the relay event, with its non-stop training day and night, it will not be weaker than the other eight relay teams.

"Calm down, don't get overly excited and nervous, you're born to compete."

Su Bingtian took a long breath and remembered what Su Zu had told him in the check-in area just now.

He had been looking forward to this final for a long time, and he was even so nervous that he couldn't eat or sleep, and in the warm-up before entering the arena just now, he was so nervous that his muscles were stiff and he couldn't run at all.

It was Su Zu who had been encouraging and comforting him, calming him down, and running as an ordinary race, encouraging him to definitely participate in more such high-level competitions in the future, even in the personal 100-meter event, he would be a strong player born for the competition.

After all, at this stage, he is not the Asian flyer who has led the Jamaican lightning rhythm in the arena in another time and space, and he is still a fledgling youngster.

Gently moved the muscles of his hands and feet in place, and as the camera moved away, Su Bingtian gradually felt that his nervous emotions calmed down.

He was a man who was able to focus on the game to a great extent, and after taking a few deep breaths, he stood on the track, and gradually his agitated heart began to calm down, and in its place he felt a power rising from the bottom of his heart.

The World Athletics Championships, the biggest stage in athletics, he came.

How many times have I seen other people compete on TV, and once haunted me, and now he is here.

Those years of silent training in the sports school, those days when he practiced until he was trembling when he walked after his teammates and classmates left, and now, it finally gave him an unimaginable reward.

He stood on the top stage in the world and was finally about to start his performance.

"You can do it, Su Bingtian, you were born for the competition!"
