"VJ, you and Su have both set new world records in the men's 100m, have you considered the 200m?"

On the warm-up track, Nugent Walker watched Bolt pause for a brief stretch before coming up to him and laughing at him.

"NJ, I don't know, I want to beat Su Zu more."

Bolt glanced at Nugent Walker and replied casually. The other party is his partner who grew up and knows his thoughts and ambitions in the 200m event.

"You can for sure, Usain, you're tall, you have long legs and you have the speed and stamina, you have an advantage against him, and now you're not at last year's World Championships." Nugent Walker was excited, as if he was the one who was about to play.

Usain Bolt smiled, the 100m was just an appetizer for him, and if he could break a world record or win an Olympic title, it would be the best option, and if not, he wouldn't be too disappointed.

How many 100m races has he ever run?

You must know that the original reason why he chose to run 100 meters was to avoid running 400 meters.

Of course, Bolt also knows that the 100m is more influential, and his coach Glenn Mills is also obsessed with speed, having studied a lot of competition videos of Powell, Suzu, Gatlin and others, and seems to have spent his whole life exploring the continuous puzzle of "what is the limit of human speed". His current performance has also added a lot of material to Glenn Mills' research.

But for Usain Bolt, the 200m means something different. He began to run 100 meters in some amateur events as a teenager, but as he grew taller, his focus gradually became all on the 200 meters. The 200-meter dash can be said to be his favorite, it can be said to be his dream to fight for, and it is the goal that he wants to exhaust his life's strength to die.

But when it comes to world records, he didn't think it was a lie.

Michael Johnson's 19.32 seconds record at Atlanta 1996 will be unmatched for 12 years, and even Johnson himself thinks that this record is difficult to break, and it is the world record set by Michael Johnson that has inspired him all the way to devote himself to track and field.

In recent years, the closest Michael Johnson has come to a record is Suzu, who ran the second-fastest time of 19.37 seconds at last year's World Championships in Osaka.

After that World Championship final, Michael Johnson made it clear to the media that neither Suzu nor Guy, nor Bolt could compare to him in speed and endurance.

It is precisely because he has seriously considered it that he doesn't have too many ideas now, and he now especially wants the Olympic gold medal in the men's 200m, especially after losing to Su Zu in the 100m by two hundredths, he has absolute confidence in the 200m he is good at.

"What is a world record, all I have to do is give my all on the field and win the ......"

Bolt shook his head away from Nugent Walker's words of encouragement and anticipation, and following Glenn Mills' instructions, he walked back onto the warm-up track and did two sets of ultra-distance runs and one set of starting exercises.

The men's 200m preliminaries are about to start!

……

"Yang Guangzong has been promoted!"

On the warm-up track, Su Zu heard the news of Yang Guangzong's promotion from Zhang Pingqiu, and couldn't help but roar fiercely.

At 10:05, the men's 200m preliminaries began, and Su Zu had no way to go to the stadium to watch Yang Guangzong's game because he needed to warm up before the game and wait for the check-in, but he was very happy to learn the news that he had advanced to the second round of semifinals.

In Su Zu's memory, there are still Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng in the men's 1200 meters, but in the 400-meter event, Chinese athletes can run into the second round of the Olympic Games, and Yang Guangzong is still the first.

Zhang Peimeng, who was warming up on the runway next to him, was also shocked when he heard the news of Yang Guangzong's promotion. His current 200-meter result is actually similar to that of Yang Guangzong in the Athens Olympics before, and he is a 200-meter athlete and has run 400 meters before, so he knows how difficult it is.

There is a growth pattern among sprinters, which is basically that as they get older, they will only run shorter and shorter, and swim shorter and shorter. For example, Zhang Lin and Sun Yang, who swam in later generations, originally swam long distances, focusing on 1500 meters, and later swam shorter and shorter, swimming 200 meters and 400 meters. The same is true in the world of athletics, where Koji Ito originally ran 400 meters and later switched to 100 meters.

Yang Guangzong was born in 1981 and is 28 years old at the Olympic Games this year, and has been focusing on 200 meters and 100 meters before.

At 10:05 a.m., the men's 200m preliminaries officially began.

A total of 65 players participated in the preliminary round, divided into eight preliminary groups, of which the fifth group of the preliminary round is 9 players, and the other groups are 8 players.

Advance to the next round, that is, the rules for the rematch starting at 20:05 tonight are also similar to the previous games, the top three in each group directly advance, and then add the top eight of the remaining players, a total of 32 players enter the next round of semi-finals.

Suzu was in the third lane of the group in the third preliminary round, and the group was joined by veteran British sprinter Marlon Devonesh, St. Kitts and Nevis' Kim Collins and Jamaica's Marvin Anderson.

In this morning's game, at least more than half of the audience in the Bird's Nest Stadium focused on Su Zu. Especially after he won the men's 100m Olympic gold medal the day before yesterday, he pushed this momentum to the extreme. The time for close-up shots of faces on the big screen on the scene also far exceeded that of other players.

In China, Su Zu's popularity has now reached its peak, and almost every move is followed by the people of the whole country.

And after winning the heaviest men's 100m gold medal, Su Zu's mentality has also relaxed a lot. Even his entire research group, all of them have the feeling of a big rock falling to the ground. In the warm-up before the game, Li Zhizhong basically just watched from aside.

With a gold medal as a base, no matter how Su Zu performs in the next game, there is basically no problem.

But the crowd is as supportive as ever, and as long as you walk on the field and stand on the track, everyone will give you a round of applause. And everyone would also like to see Su Zu win a second gold medal.

After the gunshots rang out, Su Zu took the lead in rushing out of the starting line, the preliminaries of sixty-five into thirty-two, there was basically no big problem for him, after the end of the corner, Su Zu basically ran to the first position, and easily crossed the finish line in the applause of the tide.

20.32 seconds!

Group 3 winners of the preliminaries.

There are no accidents that do not play well, the silver medalist in the men's 200m at the Athens Olympics, the two-time world champion, and there is no suspense in running a preliminaries.

But the audience is still very happy, as long as the winner is Chinese, whether it is the group stage or the final, everyone is honored. In their own country, in their own stadiums, they can celebrate and scream unbridledly, and let the world hear their enthusiasm and voice!

Su Zu, who finished the game, did not leave the field, but found a place in the stands on the side of the stadium and continued to follow the game.

After him, there is also Zhang Peimeng's 200m preliminaries, and the men's 110m hurdles preliminaries that start at 11 o'clock.

In a way, Su Zu has changed the landscape of Chinese athletics, and he is eager to see if the schedule of some competitions will be in line with the previous direction.

At 10:45 a.m., in the eighth group of the men's 200m preliminaries, Zhang Peimeng appeared.

From training with Su Zu a few days ago to the time when Fang was just warming up, Zhang Peimeng, who looked at his mental state very well, suddenly lost in this group of preliminaries, and failed to fully play his level, ranking seventh in the group with a time of 21.06 seconds.

Su Zu became nervous in an instant.

Although he also knew that Zhang Peimeng might stop in the second round of the rematch if he played according to his best results, when he really saw him eliminated, his heart instantly lifted.

Su Zu realized at this time that although he could say that he was under the most pressure of all athletes. But in a field like the Olympics, it's also a huge challenge for other athletes.

Zhang Peimeng has experienced two World Championships, as well as the Magic City Grand Prix, and his international experience is not without experience, but he still has not been able to fully play his level.

And at 11:10, the men's 110-meter hurdles preliminaries are about to be held, and Liu Yangyu is about to play!
