On the evening of August 12, regardless of the news reported by the outside media whether the finish line is Xinke's sprint double champion Su Zu or the infighting of the United States team, the most important team event of this World Championships - the men's 4×100m relay will start the first round of preliminaries tonight.

The atmosphere at the Helsinki Stadium tonight was quite lively, and the crowd was slightly smaller than the previous day when Finnish javelin star Teddy Pitcekäki competed, which is a bit larger than at any other time.

Gain's host country, Finland, participated in the men's 4×100m relay, and although the final result is not very easy to say, many spectators showed up to support the Finnish crowd in the track and field event.

18:45 p.m.

The lights in the stadium have all been lit up, and although it is not dark at this time of summer, in order to better connect with the game, it is natural to turn on the lighting equipment early.

On the track of the scene, the members of the relay team of the first group of preliminaries have appeared on the track and field.

At the position where the fourth bend of the track and field track entered the straight, Su Zu began to carefully carry out work such as measuring steps. From time to time, I also trotted for a while, moved my muscles and bones a little, and did some simple warm-up exercises.

The expectation given by the team in this relay race is to be able to enter the finals, after all, except for Su Zu, some of the other team members are still relatively young, and there is a certain distance in terms of personal level and competition experience.

Su Zu looked at the lineup of the relay teams of each team, and there was no doubt that the most familiar was the American team.

The lineup excluded by the U.S. team in this preliminary match is the first player Maddy Beal, the second player Leonard Scott, the third team Tyson Gaye, and the fourth team Morris Green.

Although this lineup is not the strongest strength of the American team, it must far surpass the players of other countries at the overall level.

In the face of such an American team, Su Zu can only go all out and try his best to run into the finals. If it can be the Chinese relay team in the future, in addition to himself, the other three people can reach the level of about 10 seconds, then this World Championship may still have a chance to compete.

But this kind of thought is just a thought, when it really happened to Jamaica at its peak, two of the four relay runners ran 9.7 seconds in the 100 meters, and the other two were also within 9.9 seconds and 9.8 seconds in the 100 meters. This kind of luxurious lineup completely crushed all the other relay teams with its strength.

"The men's 4×100m relay race preliminaries will be held immediately, and the Chinese team is in the second lane. Through the pre-race interview, we also learned from Yuan Guohua, the head coach of the relay team, that this time the Chinese team is mainly based on training, and training on behalf of competitions, so that our young athletes can grow up, in order to achieve good results in the 2008 Olympic Games......"

As the 32 relay athletes in 8 lanes on the field were ready one by one, the atmosphere of the scene gradually became solemn.

In front of the TV, the audience at the scene had already seen the camera start to focus on the eight players who were the first to shoot, and Yang Jian's commentary voice came out in due time.

Obviously, this remark is a draft for everyone, the Chinese team is the men's 4×100m relay champion at last year's Athens Olympics, and the ratings of this relay race will not be lower than at other times.

Although for a long time before the World Championships, the track and field team had begun to release news to the media claiming that it was mainly training and training newcomers, but if the final results were too poor, they would definitely have to bear a lot of pressure.

You can't just win the Olympics last year and suddenly not even make it to the final this year.

Many times people will not quietly listen to you analyze the normal metabolism of the old and the new, and they will not care that some opportunities are available but not sought, but will only be buttoned up one hat after another.

"The first lane is Brazil, the second is China, the third is Germany, the fourth is the United States, the fifth is Jamaica, the sixth is Finland, the seventh is France, the eighth is Australia, ......"

With Yang Jian's commentary on the big screen and TV at the scene, the arrangements for the relay race preliminaries of each country appeared.

"The first baton of the Chinese team is Wen Yongyi, the second baton is Zhang Peimeng, the third batter is Dai Shengming, and the fourth batter is Su Zu; The French team was first battered by Radu Ducarre, second by Ronald Bonon, third by Eddy Lépin and fourth by Lou Dove;

The Jamaican team had Leronell Clarke in the first bat, Dwight Thomas in the second, Anslivo in the third and Michael Flatt in the fourth......"

Yang Jian's voice quickly read the four runners as the live camera swept through each group of runners.

“On your marks！”

A referee in a white shirt shouted into the loudspeaker in his hand.

In front of the starting area, the first baton of the eight national relay teams walked on the starting block one by one after the password sounded.

Wen Yongyi, the first batter of the Chinese team, leaned over and bowed his head in front of the starting line, and after entering the arena from the road, he felt a heart pounding wildly.

This is the World Athletics Championships, in the Olympic Games at a level of track and field competition, he never thought that the first year he joined the national team, he was directly pulled to such an international stage to compete.

Originally, according to what his coach said when he was in the local area, after entering the national team, that is, during the training camp, he would run the East Asian Games, Asian Games, Asian Championships or something.

Who would have thought that as soon as he entered the national team, he began to train for the relay event, and then he didn't even participate in this year's National Championships, and jumped directly to the World Championships.

Such an opportunity was impossible and unimaginable before. It was the sudden rise of the Chinese relay team last year, which won the gold medal in the Olympic Games and met the participation standards of the World Championships.

And the young players of the new team are the ones who have been stained with light, and they were directly pulled to the biggest arena without going through a game of fighting.

Wen Yongyi felt that his heart was about to jump out, he was nervous, but more excited.

For a sprinter, it is simply too rare to be able to participate in the World Championships. If he wants to register for the 100m or 200m of the men's sprint in a single event, his current result is not up to the mark.

But now, he had such an opportunity.

"Steady, steady!"

Wen Yongyi took a few deep breaths and kept adjusting his state.

On the sidelines, Yuan Guohua's face jumped tightly, and the moment he watched Wen Yongyi walk on the starting block, there was a fine and dense sweat on his forehead.

"Old Yuan, you calm down."

Li Zhizhong, who was next to him, looked at Yuan Guohua's expression and knew that the string in his heart was too tight. At last year's Athens Olympics, the men's 4×100m unexpectedly won the Olympic championship, and the coach of his relay team was naturally very honorable.

But honor, that is, pressure.

The pressure has been reduced before the game, and there must be a training process for the newcomers in the relay team, but in the final analysis, at this time, a heart can't help but be raised.

Before the starting line, the eight first runners who squatted down on the curve were ready to start one by one, and their bodies stabilized in a stationary state.

The noise of the audience quieted down a little, and the audience's attention was focused on the starting line. In front of the TV, countless domestic viewers who were watching the live broadcast also clenched their hands slightly at this time, and their whole bodies were motionless, looking at the TV screen like a sculpture.

“SET！”

Syllable! The starting gun rang out!

The scene that had just been quiet suddenly erupted into a burst of cheers and cheers.

In this group of relay preliminaries, the sixth lane is the Finnish team, and at this time, countless Finnish spectators are frantically cheering for Marcus, the first batter of their relay team! He was the first Finnish athlete in history to reach the final of an international championship, finishing fifth in the men's 100m at the 2002 European Championships.

At the same time, Yang Jian's voice came out through the screen, "The game begins!" Wen Yongyi's starting speed is very fast, his starting speed is not under Chen Jian at the beginning, Wen Yongyi is stable, don't make a mistake when handing over the baton. ”

On the field, the athletes' movements were as fast as lightning, almost as soon as their respective commentators quickly introduced the situation of the live game, and the first corner was already nearing the end, reaching the handover area of the first and second gangs.

At this time, because of the arrangement of the passes, and the eight teams handing over the baton at the same time, the scene was relatively chaotic, and it was not particularly possible to see the advantages and disadvantages, but the discerning people could still see the speed ranking from the first to complete the baton.

The fastest first baton was the American team, without a doubt. The U.S. team's Madibier had a best time of 10.07 seconds in the 100 meters in 2004, which was far from the fastest group of runners in the 100 meters, but in the first baton of the relay race, it was already good enough.

In second place is the Jamaican team, whose first batter, Leronet Kleck, is also very fast, second only to Madibiel among the eight first-place players.

The third team to successfully complete the baton handover was France, then Germany, Finland, Brazil, China and Australia.

Although Wen Yongyi's starting speed is fast, his speed ability in the second half of the race is still a lot worse, and it is basically very difficult to run the advantage in the first base.

When countless Chinese people saw Zhang Peimeng and Wen Yongyi handing over the baton, the rest of the United States and Jamaica were almost finished, and their hearts were fiercely entangled, silently shouting and cheering.

The first Chinese team fell behind and was in seventh place.

Zhang Peimeng kept looking sideways at Wen Yongyi's figure, counted him into the step point, and then turned his head to accelerate.

Reach out, take the baton, and do it in one go.

He and Wen Yongyi's first and second baton handover training time is relatively long, and the tacit understanding is relatively good. Zhang Peimeng's starting speed was a little slow, and Wen Yongyi, to some extent, his speed in the second half of the race also dropped relatively quickly.

This kind of baton handover adjustment is also to be able to maximize the high-speed fit of the two-person relay.

If Wen Yongyi and Su Zu are handed over, Su Zu's starting acceleration often needs to take care of Wen Yongyi's speed, and he can't add too fast, thus losing part of Su Zu's speed.

These have been carefully calculated by Yuan Guohua and the members of the coaching staff, and when the player's personal strength is not enough, he can only try not to lose speed when handing over the baton.

The handover of the first and second gangs is complete, and the second stick is a straight!

The United States and Jamaica were the first to complete the baton handover, and the third place was surprisingly France, who were skilful in the first and second basemen Radu Ducarre and Ronald Bonon, although not as fast as the other two teams, but did not fall far behind after the start.

Fourth place went to the German team, and fifth place...... Zhang Peimeng of the Chinese team.

“…… The Chinese team must stabilize and not drop the baton. Okay, pretty, Zhang Peimeng, Zhang Peimeng chased after him......"

Yang Jian's commentary voice has not stopped, and he has been spitting out words quickly following the player's running.

Although the speed of the first baton Wen Yongyi was not too fast, the action of the two to hand over the baton was quite crisp, and at this moment, they chased from seventh to fifth.

The crowd's enthusiastic cheers grew louder and louder, especially in Finnish, as their athletes took the lead in the first baton, but the baton handover was not perfect, and after the first and second handovers, they slowed down and fell to the rear of the car.

On the field, the eight athletes in the second baseman had no other distractions at this time, and had only one goal, to hand over the baton in their hands to the next teammate as soon as possible.

The U.S. team still maintains the lead, and the second batter of the U.S. team is Leonard Scott, who has lost to Suzu many times in the men's 100m sprint, but there is no doubt that he can reach the final in all kinds of sprint races, both large and small, and no one can deny his quality. Of all the runners in the second bar, he was also the only one to break the 10-second mark. Such a gap in absolute strength is very obvious.

Second place went to Jamaica, whose best time in the 100m this year was 10 seconds, and in this relay race he was not far behind Leonard Scott. But the U.S. team still accumulated enough advantages to keep it up.

The third place is the French team, the fourth place is the German team, and the fifth place is the Chinese team......

The athletes on the field ran fast, Zhang Peimeng clenched his teeth, he has not yet entered the peak state, but in this group of preliminaries, he has done his best.

Before entering the national team and becoming Su Zu's training partner, his previous training was really quite a bit of a feeling of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, afraid of fatigue and hard work.

He was the same age as Su Zu, but after really seeing Su Zu's almost harsh training plan, he realized that there is such a thing as talent, but it is definitely a very painful process to convert talent into real results.

And now, he's in the middle of that. He can be said to be the most potential rookie in the entire track and field team at present.

The distance of more than a hundred meters is fleeting.

Arrived at the handover area of the two and three sticks.

At this time, a huge exclamation suddenly sounded at the same time.

Yang Jian's voice in front of the TV suddenly mentioned the highest: "Mistake!" Team USA is down! Tyson Gaye, the third baton of the U.S. team, did not receive the baton ......"

On the field, Leonard Scott, who was the fastest runner in the second bat, made a big mistake when he handed over the baton to his teammate Tyson Gaye in the third bat.

The two did not finish handing over the baton, and the baton fell.

At the moment when the baton fell, the other teams had successfully completed the baton handover, and the athlete in the third baton quickly got the baton.

At this time, the third baton ranked first is the French team, the French team's performance today is perfect, their athlete strength is not strong, but the baton handover skills are very superb, more skilled than the handover of young athletes of the Chinese team.

In the third baton, the French team accumulated a considerable advantage through two baton handovers. The second place went to Jamaica, the third place went to Germany, and the fourth place went to ...... Team Australia!

The Chinese team was in fifth place.

The handover of the second and third sticks, the second baton of the Chinese team, Zhang Pei Meng, and the third baton Dai Shengming were not smooth enough, and the movements of the two showed a slight delay, and they were overtaken by the Australian team.

Fortunately, the gap is not big!

Fourth stick.

Morrisg didn't know what was wrong with the handover of the second and third bats of the American team, but he heard a sudden commotion, and the athletes of the third baton had already run in front of him.

At this moment, Morris Green's eyes widened, and then he slowly straightened up from the starting position, and he did not see Tyson Gay at the third bat.

Su Zu took a starting position in front of the starting line, tilting his head slightly to pay attention to the position of the Dai Shengming running to his measured step.

The speed of the substitute saint name is very fast, at least in the third position, although there is something wrong with his handover, but he is not too far behind!

Su Zu watched Dai Shengming step on his calculated step, suddenly turned back to look at the runway in front of him, and began to accelerate as fast as he could.

In the blink of an hour, the other Jamaican and French third athletes were already handing over the baton.

The Chinese team was at least 0.4 seconds behind!

The sound of footsteps flew quickly, and a shout sounded behind Su Zu: "Pick up!" ”

Su Zu suddenly stretched out his hand backwards, and the baton fell in his palm.

Curves into straights.

The moment Su Zu got the baton, he almost ran the handover area, and then it was the last straight distance left!

Although there is no Morris Green, the fourth batter of Team USA, there are four players ahead of him at this time.

France's Lou Dovey, Jamaica's Michael Flatt, Germany's Marius Bruning, Australia's Matt Hilvinton.

“…… Su Zu got the baton, there was no mistake, Su Zu, Su Zu was accelerating, Su Zu ......"

Yang Jian's voice was no longer excited and excited, but had a cry of anticipation for a miracle.

In the two groups of the relay race preliminaries, the top three directly advanced to the finals, and the other two places entered with the best results.

According to the current position of the Chinese team, it is fifth in the group, and if it remains until the finish line, it is very unlikely that they will enter the final of the relay race.

I can only hope that the results of the other group will not be too good, but in such a sports competition, the quota is always in your own hands to be sure.

At this moment, the audience at the scene almost saw a red lightning bolt, and suddenly began to accelerate the chase from a frenzied start.

After entering the straight, this section of the road to the finish line is about 80 meters away.

And now France's Lou Dovey and Jamaica's Michael Fratt are almost a dozen meters ahead of Suzu.

Everyone saw Su Zu start wildly from the fifth position, and the extreme speed was almost unimaginable.

At this moment, Su Zu himself felt that he was afraid that he would run even faster than in the 100-meter final!

Twenty meters from the finish line......

Suzu caught up with Australia's Matt Hilvington of Australia, and his fast cadence and powerful pace were almost dizzying.

Ten meters from the finish line......

Suzu and Marius Bruning of the German team are neck and neck.

The last five, four, three meters......

France's Lou Dovey and Jamaica's Michael Flatt crossed the finish line first.

Su Zu is...... Third!

"Third, third, the Chinese team has advanced to the finals! The time of the race was 38.55 seconds!! The Chinese team has advanced!! ”

On the sidelines, Yuan Guohua suddenly jumped up, suddenly tore open the zipper of his sportswear, and yelled.

Wen Yongyi of the first stick, Zhang Peimeng of the second bat, and Dai Shengming of the third bat, were all so excited that they shouted on the spot.

Qualified, this young relay team got the promotion spot!

In the final few metres, Suzu almost narrowly outscored Germany's Marius Bruning.

At this time, the four relay runners of the American team were all dejected, and no one expected that they would be out.

On the sidelines, Justin Gatlin, who watched the relay race, smashed the mineral water bottle in his hand when the American team made a mistake in handing over the baton. He competed in the 100m and 200m in succession, and the team leader told him to rest first and wait for the final relay before playing. As a result, there was no more chance to play!

On the big screen at the scene, the results of each pass came out:

1. Lane 7, France, 38.34 seconds;

2. Fifth lane, Jamaica, 38.37 seconds;

3. The second lane, the Chinese team, 38.55 seconds;

4. Lane 3, Germany, 38.58 seconds;

5. Lane 8, Australia, 38.65 seconds;

6. First lane, Brazil, 38.92 seconds;

7. Lane 6, Finland, 39.30 seconds;

8. Fourth lane, Team USA, DNF (unfinished game).
