Night.

When twilight slowly comes, the lights in the Bird's Nest National Stadium are as bright as day.

High above the stadium, the Olympic flame burns and burns for a long time. And the atmosphere in the venue is like a burning flame, blazing and enthusiastic.

In the stadium stands, which were filled with more than 90,000 people, even if the spectators just sighed unconsciously according to the changes in the schedule, or a clapping applaud, and finally suddenly gathered into a wave, it seemed like a storm that could knock the players and staff of the stadium to the ground.

The crowd was enthusiastic in the morning, but this was the first day of athletics, and most of the events in the morning, such as the women's discus, men's hammer throw, women's heptathlon, men's 1500m and men's 400m hurdles, were all qualifiers and the first round of preliminaries.

Due to the hot weather, the Olympic track and field events that began on the 15th were basically similar to the previous Athens Olympics, with the competitions generally taking place in the morning and evening.

On a hot afternoon, there aren't many athletics events that require off-court competitions, and most of the ball games are played indoors.

The really exciting place is to wait until the evening, when the finals of several projects are ushered in, and then there are highlights.

The men's 1500m heats start at 19:10 and end at 19:40. After the men's 1500m heats, the conference site was once again overwhelmed by the sounds of all kinds of gadgets such as cheers, applause, trumpets and castanets.

One of the most important races tonight, the men's 100m semi-finals are about to begin!

One of the highlights of the main track and field events on August 15 is the men's 100m semi-final, the women's 10,000m final and the men's shot put final.

Among them, the men's shot put final is more niche and relatively dull to watch. The most important events are the men's 100-meter semi-finals and the women's 10,000-meter long-distance running final, which are expected.

In the 100-meter preliminaries in the morning, because of the large number of players, most of the powerful players are basically for the purpose of qualifying, and the elimination rate of 80 into 40 is still very easy for the powerful players to advance.

At the beginning of the rematch in the evening, after a layer of screening, the 40-meter sprinters who were left to participate at this time were obviously more powerful, even if they were the 40 fastest runners in the world, and their competition will be more intense.

In the second round of the semi-finals, many players' goals are very clear, especially compared with their own strength and level, basically a large part of them can run to the semi-finals of the semi-finals, and then enter the Olympic Games men's 100-meter top 16, it is not easy, you have to completely spare the strength of the whole body to work hard to be able to win that line of opportunities.

And the top players will also start to control the rhythm of the game clearly at this time, and choose their position in the rematch. Even if you want to be reserved, you have to avoid things like capsizing in the gutter.

The men's 100m semi-finals (quarter-finals) consisted of 40 people in total, divided into five semi-final groups.

And Su Zu was in the first group of the rematch, so that the atmosphere in the audience was suddenly incomparably high.

Standing on the starting line, Suzu waved to the crowd around him, when he participated in the 2004 Athens Olympics, when he saw the Greek athletes cheering when they appeared, and once imagined what it would be like to appear in the Bird's Nest one day.

And at this moment, he really saw it and felt it!

In the men's 100m preliminaries in the morning, Su Zu easily won the first place in the group with a preliminaries time of 10.09 seconds and qualified for the semifinals.

All the spectators knew that Su Zu's challenge was in the rematch, semi-finals and finals later, and the score of 10.09 seconds was very common for Su Zu, but when he saw Su Zu crossing the finish line first, the audience in the stadium couldn't help but praise and applaud him.

The victory of the athletes of their own country, no matter when, no matter what round of competition, is undoubtedly the most touching and inspiring to the audience.

Especially after more than half an hour of not seeing Chinese athletes appear on the track in the men's 1500m race, Su Zu's appearance ignited this enthusiasm.

“…… The second lane is Pierre Brown from Canada, the third lane is Henri Henri Bizcay of Cuba, and the fourth lane is Kurandi Martina of the Netherlands Antilles, fifth lane...... China's Su Zu ......, Japan's Naoki Tsukahara in lane 6, Jamaica's Michael Flatt in lane 7, Trinidad and Tobago Darrell Brown in lane 8, and Great Britain's Simon Williamson in lane 9 ......"

In the broadcast sound of the big live conference, Su Zu waved his hand towards the audience, and the boiling sound of hula like a tide sounded continuously.

In the men's 100m heats and semi-finals, there were 8 runners in each group, so the first lane of the inner lane was not used, but went directly from the second lane to the ninth lane.

In this group of men's 100m semi-finals, Suzu was not divided into a group with Bolt or Gay and others, and the average strength of the opponents was relatively weak. But there are also many who are not strong at all.

He is slightly more familiar with the Netherlands Antilles Currandi Martina, who is one of the more outstanding in the men's sprint event at the moment, and has the ability to reach the semi-finals or finals in various major events.

Also worth noting is Jamaica's Michael Flatt, a Jamaican athlete who was a regular in major tournaments, finishing fourth behind Suzu, Gatlin and Obikwiru at the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki, and replacing Asafa Powell for the Jamaican national championship at the 2006 Jamaican National Championships.

At 19:45, the first group of the men's 100m semi-finals began.

After the gunshots rang out, Suzu really found that both Kurandi Martina and Michael Flatt showed a completely different state from the preliminaries.

In the preliminaries, Kurandimatina was in the tenth group of the preliminaries, and without facing too strong competition, he ran only 10.35 seconds to win the first place in the group and successfully qualified.

Michael Flatt was basically the same, he was the first place in the fourth group of the preliminaries, and his time was only 10.15 seconds, and neither of them saw the five heaviest men in the preliminaries, and easily qualified for the semifinals.

And when it came to this rematch, all of a sudden, the situation was different.

Before the race, everyone was favored, and the five fastest runners in the world happened to be assigned to a semi-final group.

No matter how lucky the other athletes are, it will be impossible to avoid encountering a few people in the rematch.

And five people appear in a group, basically locked a place to advance to the next round of semifinals, and according to the promotion rules of the men's 100m semi-finals, the top three of the five semi-finals groups directly qualify, a total of 15 people, and the last place will be promoted by the one with the best results among the remaining players.

Faced with this situation, Kurandi Martina and Michael Flat, who both won the group in the preliminaries, did not dare to take it lightly, and almost from the moment the gun rang out, they were 100% strong.

Suzu also noticed the two after the start, and after 30 meters, Kurandimatina and Michael Fratt were almost neck-and-neck, and Suzu started to be relatively behind the two.

It's not that he was slow to react to the start, but that he didn't have enough full strength to start.

The explosive start that is almost in the same vein as Asafa Powell is undoubtedly incredibly fast in the acceleration phase, but it also puts a greater load on the body than the average starting action.

The current Su Zu is no longer a fledgling stunned young man, in order to reasonably avoid the risk of injury and adjust his physical fitness, he did not go all out at the start of this group.

But after the first thirty meters of the starting acceleration phase passed, Su Zu paid attention to the position of the two, accelerated the cadence and approached directly.

In the stands of the scene, a huge exclamation sounded without warning, which was the voice of 90,000 spectators.

After the starting gun sounded, it was obvious that Su Zu's start was not very fast, and he fell behind, and after running on the way to thirty meters, Su Zu entered the high-speed stage and quickly caught up.

That unconscious exclamation unconsciously turned into a cheering sound.

9.93 seconds!

When Su Zu ran across the finish line, he saw the results on the timing board!

Kurandi Martina is in 9.97 seconds, and Michael Flatt is in 10.01 seconds.

In the end, he was able to control his speed, with a slight release movement, but he still relied on his strong strength to get out of the line faster than Kurandimatina.

Kurandi Martina and Michael Flatt also played at almost the highest level in this group of semifinals. Of the three places that qualified for the semi-finals, the two of them competed for the next two places.

And the result of the game is also obvious, they all got it.

Fourth place went to Japan's Naoki Tsukahara with a time of 10.23 seconds, and fifth place went to Britain's Simon Williamson in 10.32 seconds. The other four players, including Simon Williamson, are almost certain to be out of the semifinals early.

As for Naoki Tsukahara's fourth-place result, it will have to wait for the other four semi-final groups to be determined, but judging from the results, the chances are not great.

After the top three in each group, the one with the best result remains, and according to the current competition format, it is likely to break through the 10.05 or even 10-second mark to have a chance.

After the first group of the men's 100m semi-finals, the second group of the semi-finals continued.

The top three in this group were Tyson Gay, Richard Thompson and Martial Banjack, with Richard Thompson running 9.99 seconds, while Tyson Gay was in complete control of the pace of the race, easily surpassing Martial Banjack in 10.09 seconds to advance in second place with a time of 10.16 seconds.

In the third group of the semi-finals, the top three who advanced were Justin Gatlin, Mark Burns and Kim Collins. Justin Gatlin broke the 10-second mark, while the other two set 10.05 and 10.07 seconds.

In the fourth group of the semi-finals, Usain Bolt set the current best time in the men's 100m in the semi-finals with a time of 9.92 seconds, followed by Davis Barton and Obikviru.

The final group of the men's 100m rematch will be qualified against Asafa Powell and Walter Dicks and Derek Atkins of the Bahamas.

At this point, the men's 100m semi-finals came to an end. Before the game, the "Five Tigers" that countless people in the outside world paid attention to, except for Tyson Gay who advanced in second place in the semifinals, the other four were all first in the group, and their results also ran within 10 seconds.

The men's 100m race, which is dominated by the five fastest runners at the moment, is almost all veterans of the sports world or newcomers who have had good results in the past two years.

Now that the game has been played, the atmosphere of the audience in the stadium has also been completely ignited.

After all the men's 100m athletes left the field, there was a brief silence in the stadium.

It seems that the spectators in the stands are digesting the game of Fang Cai, and they are calculating and weighing each other in their hearts. The spectators who were unable to enter the Bird's Nest National Stadium today to watch the game, after learning the results of the men's 100m semi-finals announced by various media, are also looking forward to the men's 100m semifinals and finals tomorrow.

Tomorrow CCTV will start broadcasting the semi-finals and final of the men's 100m, and in addition to CCTV, various media around the world will also focus their cameras on this.

The trapeze war, on the verge of breaking out.
