"Phew—"

A loud sigh rang out.

At 19:30 on the evening of September 23, the last day of the 15th Asian Athletics Championships, the men's 4×400m relay final was being held at the Rizal Athletics Stadium.

The Chinese relay team, because there is no suitable 400-meter athlete, did not register, and the men's 4×400-meter relay final is only a bystander.

Just on the field, among the eight teams participating in the 4×400m finals, the Saudi Arabian relay team, which had already achieved an advantage, suddenly suffered a muscle strain in the third base, dropped the baton, and gave up the game directly.

Sri Lanka, Japan and Qatar, which were originally behind Saudi Arabia, overtook the Saudi relay team and finished in the top three in the men's 4×400m.

All the spectators and athletes in the stadium sighed and applauded the Saudi athletes.

"Warm up again and get moving."

Yuan Guohua looked at what happened to Saudi Arabia on the field, his heart tightened, and he turned to Su Zu, Chen Jian and others, who were doing a smooth rehearsal of the baton, and said.

In athletics, anything can happen in a hurry.

After the men's 4×400m relay, the women's 4×100m and men's 4×100m finals will begin, which is also the final competition of the conference.

At 19:45, the women's 4×100m final began.

Although the strength of the Chinese women's relay team in this Asian Championships is not weak, the four pole players are the second, fourth and second and sixth in the 100m.

However, in the face of tacit cooperation, the Thai team, which defeated other teams and set a national record, and the Japanese team, which has delicate skills. In the women's 4×100m relay race, the Chinese team only unfortunately won the bronze medal.

At 20 o'clock, the men's 4×100m final of the Asian Championships finale began.

When the eight finalist teams appeared on the field, the entire Rizal Athletics Stadium suddenly boiled, and in addition to the relay of the strength of various countries, the relay team of the host country Philippines broke into the final for the first time.

The sound of applause and cheers mingled with the sound of various small trumpets and shakers, and small samples such as small flags were constantly swaying and waving, and the whole stadium became a sea of joy.

The eight finalists will be arranged in the order of the passes, namely:

The first lane, the Chinese HK team

The second lane, the Philippine team

The third lane, the Indian team

Fourth, the Thai team

Fifth, the Japanese team

Sixth, the Chinese team

Seventh, Sri Lanka

The eighth lane, the Oman team

With the instructions of the referee, Shen Yunbao, who was the first to play, prepared at the starting point of the sixth road.

Yang Guangzong, who was in the second base, Chen Jian, who was in the third, and Su Zu, who was in the fourth, all arrived at their respective relay areas and began to measure the steps.

The measuring step point is often seen in the long jump and high jump, mainly to determine the distance and position of the athlete with the most advantageous force, and the same is true in the relay race.

The athletes in the back three need to measure the distance in the relay area, have a line, and wait for their teammates to run, and then start to accelerate and start running, which needs to be accurately calculated, and it is also a long-term tacit cooperation, and there is enough experience to be able to achieve the ultimate.

After Su Zu measured the step point, he began to move his body slightly in the relay area, raised his legs on the spot, jumped twice, maintained the heat and state of his body, and waited nervously.

The fourth stick has always been the most important time in the relay race, and the first three sticks will directly reflect the result when they reach the fourth base.

This stick is to go straight to the finish line, which is to decide the winner or loser.

This is the first time since the school sports meeting two years ago that it has participated in a relay race on an official large-scale competition occasion.

The Rizal Athletics Stadium, the oldest stadium in Asia, and step by step, he has come here, and the stadium cheered by the crowd began to compete.

Overlooking the entire stadium, on the 400-meter track, there are athletes at every node.

The first two, three sticks in front, due to the curve, the position of different starting tracks is different, but when it comes to the fourth bar where Su Zu is, the key area where the curve enters the straight, all the athletes are relatively close to the position of the standing column according to the arc of the last corner.

"Relax, focus, and play at the level of training."

Su Zu took a light breath, and then slowly exhaled it soothingly, calming down a slightly trembling mood.

His eyes crossed the arena and stayed on the side of the first athlete.

“On your marks.” On the field, the starter's voice sounded.

Eight runners who won the first leg of the relay race stepped onto the starting gear one after another.

The site is quiet.

One of the most important matches of this Asian Championship is about to begin.

“Set.”

With the sound of the international standard preparatory command, the athlete changed from squatting to a hunched starting position.

"Smack!"

The starting gun sounds, and the game begins!

At the moment when the gun rang out, Shen Yunbao shot out like a bullet.

At this time, there is no longer any need for reservations, just acceleration and acceleration again, the fastest sprint.

"Sixth, sixth, take the lead in the relay area!"

Yang Guangzong leaned over to maintain a starting position, and after the gun rang out in the race, he kept his head sideways and firmly paid attention to Shen Yunbao's position.

The moment Shen Yunbao stepped on the position of his step, he began to start and accelerate.

"Pick it up!"

A voice suddenly rang out behind him.

Yang Guangzong's left hand stretched back, his palm apart, the tiger's mouth was facing down, and with a click, the baton fell into his hand from the bottom to the top.

This is a movement that has been practiced thousands of times, Yang Guangzong started to accelerate a little slowly in the first half of the race, and Shen Yunbao's speed gradually decreased in the second half of the race, and the two have a height difference, and they can do the first stick in all aspects.

At the moment when his left hand grabbed the baton, Yang Guangzong took a big step and began to accelerate vigorously.

The second stick is a straight road, you have to stand some close to the relay area, and then give three sticks when you have to run a little more in the process of handing over the baton, in the 4×100-meter event, the relative runner needs to run the longest distance, the reason why Yang Guangzong was chosen, is because he has a relatively sufficient rear speed, in the longer distance of high-speed running to maintain speed, can always be stable, play the role of connecting the previous and the next.

Soon, with the advantage of maintaining the first and second sticks, Yang Guangzong was already ahead of several other teams when the second stick was handed over to Chen Jian.

The Thai team and the Japanese team, which followed the most, were also thrown away by a certain distance at this time.

After Chen Jian received the baton from Yang Guangzong, his speed increased to the extreme, and the third baton required cornering skills and players with fast absolute speed.

Although Chen Jian does not run 200 meters, his cornering skills are still good, and before he injured his Achilles tendon, he had specially trained cornering techniques.

And the running distance of the third stick is the shortest, about eighty or ninety meters, which is the distance that can perfectly reflect Chen Jian's speed.

"Lao Yuan, this champion, there is a play!"

On the sidelines, Yu Liwei couldn't help but shout loudly after watching Yang Guangzong hand over the baton to Chen Jian with an advantage. At this time, the Chinese team has firmly gained the advantage.

Yuan Guohua's face tightened, his eyes almost changed with the pace of each athlete, and he didn't react to Yu Liwei's shouting at all.

Li Zhizhong's eyes also followed Chen Jian's footsteps, and his heart was instantly raised, the distance of the third stick was very short, and the runner ran for a few seconds, and it was immediately the moment of handover with the fourth batter.

And the fourth player, Su Zu, is waiting with bated breath at this time.

From the moment Chen Jian started running, Su Zu's whole state instantly rose.

The sound of fast and rapid footsteps had already come, and Chen Jian's figure was getting closer and closer, and his expression, which had become a little hideous because of running with all his might, was constantly enlarged in his field of vision.

"Whew-"

"Suck-"

In the sound of slender breathing, Su Zu had made the final preparations.

"Pop ......" In the footsteps that seemed to slow down, Su Zu's eyes suddenly turned around when Chen Jian ran to the position of the step he had drawn, and the muscle power of his whole body began to be released, start, accelerate!

“1、2、3、4……”

Su Zu silently recited the number of steps he ran, and when he accelerated to the fifth step, he heard a voice from behind.

"Pick it up!"

In the process of rapid acceleration, Su Zu's right hand was facing back, and the baton fell into his hand at once, and his five fingers tightly grasped the baton in his hand, and he raised his head sharply, staring at the finish line in front of him.

"I'll take care of the rest!"

In an instant, Su Zu had an indescribable gushing emotion.

You guys are running so perfectly in front of you, so how can I not do my best for the rest!

Rush forward!

The Japanese team and the Thai team, which were already slightly behind the Chinese team, suddenly found that they had been ahead of their opponents after the fourth baton handover, and they were faster!

The cheers and cheers from the sidelines soared into the sky, seemingly threatening to overturn the entire stadium.

"Come on! Suzu! ”

"Chinese team, come on!"

The fast footsteps drove the body like a sharp arrow, breaking through the air, and in the sound of the wind filling the ears, it seemed that someone was tearing his voice and shouting.

Ride the dust.

At a distance of 60 meters, the fastest Thai team and the Japanese team were pulled away by a distance of more than seven or eight meters.

Eighty meters, the distance is still increasing.

At 90 meters, the fastest Thai team's fourth baseman is already 10 meters away.

Rush the line!

38.28 seconds!

"We won!"

Yu Liwei and Li Zhizhong, who looked nervous on the sidelines, shouted at the same time, and behind them, there were many Chinese track and field athletes who had already finished the competition, and they all broke out into fierce cheers at this moment.

"Champions, we are champions! Lao Yuan, you have made meritorious service, the members of the relay team are doing well! ”

Yu Liwei was almost incoherent, holding Yuan Guohua, the head coach of the relay team who was still stunned next to him, and shouted with great excitement.

Yuan Guohua's lips trembled, his face full of shock and incredulity.

"It's not just the champions, we're ...... We broke the national record that had been in the dust for eight years, broke the Asian Games record, and broke the Asian record! ”

As the head coach of the relay team, the records of various relay events have been engraved in his bones and remembered by him.

The Chinese team's best all-time time is 38.81 seconds, the Asian Games record is 38.82 seconds set by Thailand at the 2002 Busan Asian Games, and the Asian record is 38.31 seconds set by Japan in Athens on August 9, 97.

And at this moment, we have made a new history!
