At the end of the competition at the Olympic Stadium in the early morning of August 28, Beijing time, the national delegation made history by winning 2 golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze in track and field events.

Whether it's the gold medal in the men's 110m hurdles and the gold medal in the women's 10,000m, or the silver medal in the men's 200m and the bronze medal in the 100m, behind every medal is a heavy honor.

This is the sudden rise of track and field events, and it is a new page in the history of national track and field, which has won honor for the motherland and the people and invigorated the national spirit.

And then, our race isn't over, it's still going on -

As the Olympic Games are coming to an end, the national delegation still has several important events that have attracted the attention of countless Chinese people.

After staying up late in the early hours of the morning to watch the game, many Chinese people fell asleep excitedly or excitedly, and the alarm clock had already been set to wake up at noon.

Starting at noon Beijing time, one important event after another, almost no one wants to miss it.

At 13:45 on August 28, in the men's 500-meter double kayak sprint, Meng Guanliang and Yang Jun are already giving it a go for the final final.

At 14 o'clock on August 28, in the taekwondo women's competition under 67 kg, the national women's Luo Wei will go all the way from the preliminaries to the finals.

At 1 o'clock on August 29, the national women's volleyball team will play against Russia at the Peace and Friendship Stadium to compete for the final gold medal.

At 2 o'clock on August 29, Hu Jiatian Liang twin stars shined in the men's 10-meter platform final.

At 2:45 on August 29, in the final of the men's 4×100-meter relay race, the national men's relay team with Su Zu will compete with seven other relay teams from different countries and regions.

……

Athens time at 21:35 on August 28 and Beijing time on August 29.

Although there are still 10 minutes to go before the final men's 4×100m relay race, CCTV 5 has switched to the Olympic Stadium after winning one gold and one bronze in the final men's 10m platform final.

“…… Ma will play the final of the men's 4×100m relay, which is also the first track and field event in which the men's relay team from China participates, and the eight strongest relay teams in the world from eight countries are currently ......"

Yang Jian's voice, the on-site commentator, was almost a little hoarse yesterday, but everyone in front of the TV heard the pride in his words that could not be concealed.

Especially when it comes to "the world's eight strongest relay teams", there is a hidden tone of "See? We are one of the eight strongest relay teams in the world", almost all of which burst out through the screen.

With honor! This is our relay team!

Throughout the Olympic Games in athletics, only the relay is the only collective event. The men's 4×100m relay race is the event that best represents the comprehensive strength of a country's track and field sprints.

This is not a field where a sudden rise of super-talented athletes can dominate, it is a four-man sport that represents the overall level of national power.

The TV camera gradually pulls into the venue from the overlook of the Olympic Stadium, and the eight teams of the men's 4×100m relay race appear on the screen.

"The first lane, the Australian team; the second lane, the Polish team; third, Team England; the fourth way, the national team; fifth, Team USA; Sixth lane, Nigeria; Seventh, Team Japan; Eighth lane, Trinidad and Tobago. Yang Jian quickly read the number of the teams participating in the competition.

With the advancement of the broadcast camera in front of the TV set, the audience has gradually been able to see the athletes of each lane preparing for the competition, and their hearts have gradually lifted.

In the past, the men's 4×100m relay event of the Olympic Games was watched, but it was not too much.

And now, with the same kind of yellow-skinned and black-eyed Chinese people also standing on the track, many people unconsciously began to pray and cheer for their team.

The more the competition, the more hope there is, the more people can't calm down and can't calm down.

At the scene, in addition to the leaders and coaches of the track and field team, the delegation including the head of the regiment and the general leader of the team and other officials and staff, as well as athletes from other events that have finished the competition, all came to watch this rare event.

In the stadium of 70,000 people, the thousands of spectators are not outstanding, but the red flag is still brilliant and eye-catching.

"The U.S. team made changes to the roster at the last minute in the final. They replaced Davis Barton in lane 2 and replaced the 100m new flyer Gatlin, so that their men's 4×100m relay team is really a dream lineup, and their relay lineup is no less than the relay team lineup composed of Carl Lewis, Michael Marsh, Dennis Mitchell and Roy Burrell when they set the world record at the Barcelona Olympics, which can be matched in terms of fame and strength. But I don't know if their lineup will be able to win with absolute strength. In addition to Su Zu, there is a big gap between the national relay team and several other athletes, depending on the baton handover skills and tacit understanding of our athletes. ”

The TV camera is focused on the athletes in each lane, and Yang Jian is explaining the new members of the U.S. team's second baseball substitution.

On the sidelines of the field, when the national track and field coaching staff Yuan Guohua and Li Zhizhong saw the relay team list of the American team, the little luck in their hearts disappeared again.

The four athletes in the final of the U.S. team were all under 10 seconds in the 100 meters, which is far from being achieved by the national team, the United Kingdom or Nigeria.

Moreover, Justin Gatlin and Morris Green are both within 9.90 seconds, Sean Crawford is also around 9.90 seconds in the 100 meters, and the 200 meters is the absolute strength of the Olympic champion in 19.79 seconds, even the weakest Comiller ran 19.96 seconds in the 200 meters at the 2000 U.S. Olympic Trials, and his personal best in the 100 meters in 2002 was 9.98 seconds.

And what about the national team?

Su Zu's personal best is 100m 9.90 seconds, 200m 19.96 seconds;

Chen Jian's personal best time is 100m, 10.17 seconds;

Yang Guangzong's personal best is 100m 10.21 seconds, 200m 20.54 seconds;

Shen Yunbao's personal best times are 100m 10.23 seconds, 200m 20.63 seconds;

In terms of overall average strength, the strength of the national relay team is far inferior. There is a huge gap between the relay team and the U.S. team in almost every other country and region.

However, in addition to the absolute strength of the individual, the 4×100-meter relay race also tests the tacit understanding between the athletes.

At this time, almost everyone can only hope for this.

In the field, Su Zu was measuring his steps in lane 4 and watching his opponents at the finish line.

Team USA had Shaun Crawford at the first, Justin Gatlin at the second, Comiller at the third, and Morris Green at the fourth.

Britain's first batter was Jason Gardner, the second batter was Darren Campbell, the third was Marlon Denish and the fourth was Mark Lewis Francis. In terms of average strength, the U.S. team is slightly weaker, but his first three batters are all veterans, and they are a relay team that has been running in for a long time.

Nigeria's first batter was Olusos Fasanwa, the second batter was Hena Emmedolu, the third batter was Alan Egbole, and the fourth batter was Texy Ali. The four were already at the top of the African athletics team, with the second-best finisher, Hena Emmedolu, also running the 10-second mark in 2003, and the fourth-place finisher, D'Giali, running 9.95 seconds at the '03 All African Games.

Although the national team is second in the group after the United States team in the semi-finals, the United States, Great Britain and Nigeria are the three relay teams that surpass the national team in the overall average.

Even the average level of the relay teams such as Japan and Poland is also between the national team, and the main thing is to fight for the best performance of the players and the tacit understanding of the baton.

Although the national team ran a time of 38.09 seconds in the preliminaries, the gap between the strength level of other teams and other teams is not as big as imagined, and this is a race, an arena, and anything can happen.

Being able to reach the finals of the Olympics as the eight strongest relay teams in the world is unique in any case.

"Okay, the game is about to start!"

As the on-site commentator Yang Jian's words fell, the 80,000 viewers at the scene and the hundreds of millions of viewers in front of the TV were waiting with bated breath.

The noisy boiling sound of the whole process gradually quieted down, and the athletes of the first leg of each pass had already stepped on the aerator, and all the athletes of the other strokes were also ready in the relay area.

Syllable!

Race shots rang out!

Su Zu, who was standing in the fourth baton relay area, suddenly felt the blood in his body begin to boil almost at the moment when the gun went off, and looked at the first baton starting line from a distance, and the eight athletes had already begun to accelerate like lightning.

"Chen Jian is the first stick, he started very well and is accelerating. Sean Crawford of the American team was very fast, and ran out of the advantage in the 60-meter position, Chen Jian was chasing, and he was not too far behind, Chen Jian come on! ”

In Yang Jian's commentary, in the arena, Chen Jian gave full play to the best state of his life and all his strength at the moment of the gunshot.

From the position of the fourth lane, bite Sean Crawford tightly. In the frenzied swing of arms and strides, Chen Jian's face almost became hideous because of excessive force.

Accelerate and accelerate, and there must not be too many gaps.

Chen Jian himself knows that if nothing else, this may also be his last Olympic Games. At 24 years old, he's in the prime of his age, but he's been plagued by injuries and he himself feels like he won't have much of a chance to continue racing on the track in the future.

And this time, such an opportunity, in this life, I am afraid there will be no more!

I came to the Olympics and made it to the 100m semi-finals for the first time, but I didn't want to go back empty-handed.

Such a thought flashed through Chen Jian's mind for a moment, and then he continued to squeeze all the potential of his body.

Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters......

The distance was getting closer and closer, and Chen Jian had already seen Yang Guangzong in the relay area start to run.

"Pick it up!"

A sound that almost exploded from Chen Jian's throat, and at the moment when Yang Guangzong's long hand was behind him, Chen Jian's baton was quickly handed to Yang Guangzong's hand.

High-speed, smooth, error-free.

Sean Crawford, who was in the fifth lane, was 0.15 seconds faster, but his superb technique made up for the speed gap, and in this moment, there was almost no difference in the time for the national, American and British teams to complete the baton handover.

Brother, it's up to you!

The moment he completed the baton handover, Chen Jian's speed slowed down, and he watched Yang Guangzong stride away and run fast in the second straight lane, he let out a long breath, his game was over!

Yang Guangzong's speed had been increased to the extreme at the moment he received Chen Jian's baton, running in stride, swinging his arms quickly.

Yang Guangzong, although Shen Yunbao and Chen Jian are younger, he has a cheerful personality and is willing to help the team members, and he was regarded as a big brother in the national track and field team for a long time.

This also includes Liu Yangyu, who shined in the Olympics last night, they are all from the magic capital, and he Liu Yangyu entered the national team early. But now, Liu Yangyu has won gold in the 110m hurdles.

To be able to break into the semi-finals of the 200m at the Olympics is an honor enough, but it is not enough to stand on the podium and see the national flag raised.

No matter how cheerful his personality is, there is no longer a conversation to be had, but in his heart, he has always wanted to lose.

I don't want to lose to myself, I don't want to lose to Liu Yangyu, I don't want to lose to other people.

And now, it's time to prove yourself. There's no better time than this now!

Let's go! Come on! Yang Guangzong!

The speed has been increased to the extreme, and the fast pace seems to make it difficult for the body to absolutely control it. But Yang Guangzong didn't care, at this moment, he just wanted to use his strength!

From the day he ran the Asian record at the Asian Championships, he was waiting for this day, in this Olympic arena, running without hindrance.

He saw Gatling in the fifth lane in front of him, his pace was so fast that he seemed to be about to open up a gap with him. He saw Nigeria's Hena Emmedolu in lane 6 sprinting in full force. He saw the seventh path, his old rival, Shingo Suesu, frantically swinging his arms.

I can't afford to lose!

Almost a cry from the bottom of his heart, Yang Guangzong clenched his teeth, bit by bit, not lagging behind others.

Two or three sticks handover!

Shen Yunbao calculated Yang Guangzong's speed in his heart second by second, and when he saw Yang Guangzong running to the measured step point before the race, he suddenly turned his head to look ahead, and his legs were almost as fast as a motor and stomped wildly on the ground.

He wants to increase to the highest speed in the shortest time and the shortest distance.

"Pick it up!"

A screaming sound sounded in his ears, Shen Yunbao brushed his hand back, and the baton fell steadily in his hand.

"Well done!"

At this moment, Shen Yunbao no longer has to worry about whether the baton will go wrong, the baton has arrived, and the rest is to run desperately!

The U.S. team's Gatlin was the fastest, and he had no opponent in the straight with a strength of 9.85 seconds in the 100m.

Then, at this moment, Comiller started too early, and Gatlin was not able to hand over the baton smoothly.

Comiller had an acceleration and the first time he was about to hand over the baton, he couldn't do it well. The second time on the straight, the baton was handed to Comiller.

Slow!

In an instant, the two American athletes in the second and third sticks were flustered.

Their absolute strength is strong, but the mistake of this baton is not an accident.

Gatlin and Comiller's tacit understanding was too poor, far from catching up with Davis Barton and Comiller's tacit understanding in the preliminaries, a misjudgment, the first Schoun Crawford and the second Gatlin with the advantage of strong speed were exhausted in this instant.

Moreover, they lagged behind.

At this time, the national team and the British team have completed the handover of the second and third sticks, and the speed has been increased to the extreme!

Shen Yunbao is running with all his might, his first half, the first twenty or thirty meters of speed, even if Morris Green, the holder of the 60-meter world record, comes to fight with him, he is not afraid.

What he was thinking about at the moment was to give the baton out smoothly.

Olympics, he was lucky enough to be able to participate in the Olympics before he retired, although it was not an individual event, but who can deny the results of the relay race!

He doesn't want to regret that in 2004 he won a national first prize. Why?

It was the teammates of the relay team, the teammates of the national team, Su Zu and Chen Jian, Yang Guangzong, who were far away from him, who gave up participating in these races.

They knew he was retiring and deliberately gave up competing at the National Athletics Grand Prix so he could win a national title.

To be able to have a championship title, leave the field in style, and leave this track that has been running for more than ten years.

Now, running on the track of the Olympic Games, you may only have this one chance in your life, whether it is for yourself, or for you stupid young people, or for the five-star red flag fluttering high behind you.

I'm going to do my best!

Run! Shen Yunbao!

If I can win this trip, even if the tendon is ruptured, I am willing!

If I can win this trip, even if I lose my legs, I am willing!

I only wish to use all the strength of my life to be brilliant at this moment!

Su Zu watched Shen Yunbao gallop towards him in the relay area of the curve into the straight, he almost couldn't believe that Shen Yunbao was not behind!

He was so fast that he was almost neck-and-neck with Britain's third-best Marlon Denish, and behind them, the USA's Comiller was more than half a position behind and was fighting hard with his superior individual strength.

For a moment, Su Zu almost felt that he heard the sound of blood boiling all over his body.

Watching Shen Yunbao run to the measured step position, Su Zu barely hesitated, turned his head and legs and began to run wildly.

In the arena next to it, countless cheers have arrived at the most "gaochao" at this time, frenzied and noisy.

In this noisy and intense atmosphere, Su Zu increased his speed to the highest as fast as he could.

"Pick it up!"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded.

The light rain is hazy, the heavy rain is pouring, and under the scorching sun, in the practice of dozens, hundreds, thousands of times, an instinctive reaction has already been formed.

Su Zuxiang didn't want to turn around and stretch out his hand, the baton fell firmly in his hand, and he still carried the residual warmth and sweat after the three athletes in front of him clenched it in his hand.

Run, Suzu!

I didn't dare to believe that you would be able to go so far, that the first three batters of such strong players as the American team and the British team have never fallen behind!

The handover of three or four bats, the national team and the British team were almost synchronous, followed by the United States team and the Nigerian team, the American team relied on the absolute speed of the third baton of Comiller, and finally quickly recovered some lost time, and the time to complete the baton handover was almost synchronous with the Nigerian team.

But at this point, when Morris Green started to run hard, he was ahead of Suzu and the British pair of fourth baseman, Mark Lewis Francis.

Suzu's eyes were firmly locked on the finish line, and next to him, Mark Lewis Francis of the third lane of Great Britain was half a position faster. The handover of the three or four bats is almost synchronized with the British team, but the third lane is the inside lane, which is closer to the fourth.

Shen Yunbao's speed is already the extreme, and the first three sticks can run the track like this.

Su Zu didn't clearly understand in his heart that from the Asian Championships to today's Olympic Games, Chen Jian, Yang Guangzong, and Shen Yunbao had nothing to find fault with in the relay.

Now, look at him!

You have worked so hard, and you are still not weak in the world's top opponents, how dare I disappoint you!

I have chosen the path of competitive sports in my life, and I am fortunate to have all of you teammates and opponents along the way!

Born in this era, in such a competition.

Today, I want the five-star red flag to be raised, and the March of the Volunteers resounded throughout the audience!

Run!

On the track, the galloping figure is as fast as lightning!

The audience was boiling.

“…… Shen Yunbao and Su Zu handed over the baton very smoothly, and now the corner went into the straight, Su Zu was in second place, Su Zu was chasing Francis, behind him were Morris Green and Deggie Aliu, Su Zu, Su Zu come on......"

In Yang Jian's almost hoarse shout, all the audience in front of the TV clenched their fists tightly at this moment, the arena changed sides, Feng Shuyong, Yu Liwei, Yuan Guohua, Li Zhizhong and other members of the coaching staff, all the leaders and officials of the national delegation, and the Chinese students and overseas Chinese who came to watch the game on the spot, all seemed to be breathing at this moment at the same time!

Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters...... The finish line is in sight!

All the Chinese audience at the scene suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers from a state of nervousness like holding their breath!

Suzu overtook British's Mark Lewis Francis in the final thirty meters!

“…… Su Zu, Su Zu surpassed Francis, Su Zu ran first, Su Zu Chong! ”

Countless people's anticipation and cheers!

Suzu crossed the finish line two positions ahead of Mark Lewis Francis and Morris Green!

"Win! The national team won! ”

At the scene, in front of the TV, countless Chinese people who saw the game at this moment, the sound almost burst out from the chest and lungs in an instant!

37.99 seconds!

The moment Su Zu ran across the finish line, he raised his head and looked at the timing board, breathing heavily like a bellows!

The top three results of the big screen relay appeared:

1. Fourth lane, national team, 37.99 seconds;

2. Third lane, Great Britain, 38.07 seconds;

3. Fifth lane, Team USA, 38.08 seconds;

"We won!" Su Zu ran wildly along the runway, shouting loudly at everyone.

Thunderous applause and cheers!

The national team, which entered the Olympic relay final for the first time, won the men's 4×100m relay championship!

"We are champions!"

"Country, victory!"
