21 a.m. Athens time, 2 a.m. Beijing time.

Su Zu, Chen Jian, Yang Guangzong and Shen Yunbao, who had already won the first place in the group, were stopped by CCTV and some other media reporters for a brief interview, and soon went to the locker room to change their clothes and returned to the Olympic Stadium again.

In addition to their relay race tonight, there are a lot of important events that they don't want to miss.

The men's 4×100m relay will begin in the second round of the first round, followed by the men's 110m hurdles final, the 200m victory ceremony, and the women's 10,000m and 110m hurdles.

When Su Zu and others appeared on the field, the eight relay teams of the second group of the first round of the men's 4×100m relay had already appeared on the track, and the athletes were seizing the time to prepare for the race, such as field test warm-up and measuring steps.

The teams in the second group of the first round of the men's 4×100m relay are:

The first lane, the British team;

second, the Jamaican team;

the third lane, the Japanese team;

Fourth, the French team;

fifth, Italy;

sixth lane, Team USA;

Seventh, Ghana;

lane eight, Brazil;

When Su Zu looked at the first round of the lineup of the American team, he was slightly stunned. In Suzu's memory, he once watched the final in '04 and remembered that the lineup at that time was Shaun Crawford, Justin Gatlin, Kobe Miller and Maurice Green.

And now the lineup in front of you is Shaun Crawford, Davis Barton, Kobe Miller and Morris Green, the others have not changed, but the second batter is Davis Barton, not Justin Gatlin.

However, at that time, there was no first round of the relay race in the Olympic broadcast, and Su Zu did not know the specific situation, after all, the lineup of the relay race, as long as it was a player in the same event, could be adjusted before the game.

The other key focus for Suzu is the Great Britain team, with Jason Gardner, Darren Campbell, Marlon Devonish and Mark Lewis Francis.

Great Britain's Jason Gardner was undoubtedly the strongest, running 9.98 seconds in the 100m and 6.46 seconds in the 60m in 1999. The other three team members were basically at the 100-meter level of about 10.20 seconds at this time. But Jason Gardner, Darren Campbell, and Marlon Devonish have been training together for the 4×100m relay race since the mid-90s, and the overall skill and run-in are very high.

Only fourth-hand Mark Lewis Francis is a newcomer, who came in after British sprinter Chambers was suspended due to drug problems.

It can be said that compared with the relay athletes who were hastily assembled after the July trials before the Olympics, the British team has a lack of overall strength, but the degree of tacit understanding is far more than that.

Another thing to watch is China's old rivals in Asia, the Japanese team composed of Hirohiro Tsuchie, Shingo Suesue, Shinji Takahira and Nobuji Asahara.

Su Zu, Chen Jian, Yang Guangzong, and Shen Yunbao are paying attention to the second group of relay races in the field, and the coaching staff of the track and field team is also analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of each team.

Soon, the guns of the match rang out.

The U.S. team had the advantage in the first run, and Shaun Crawford's 100m level was also unrivaled in the first run of the second group.

The top five players in the 100 meters, the United States team accounted for three, and the top five in the 200 meters, the United States team also accounted for three, in terms of overall strength, the United States team four strokes are all at the level of less than 10 seconds, almost no suspense, the United States team easily won the first place in the group with a level of 38.02 seconds.

After the group results of the American team came out, the coaching staff of the track and field team, Yuan Guohua, Li Zhizhong and Mai Shaoqiang, had just finished running in the first round of the Chinese relay team, and the idea of maybe having a chance to win gold was raised, and there was cold water head-on.

"It seems that the gold medal should not be thought about." Yuan Guohua shook his head, "The performance of the relay team just now is already the last, but there is still a gap compared to the American team, and they run too easily." ”

"yes, try to get a medal, Nigeria and Great Britain are not bad." Li Zhizhong also breathed a sigh of relief, sometimes the greater the hope for his team, the greater the disappointment may be in the end. It is already a rare thing to be able to run such a result and set a new Asian record.

Before the American team started the competition, everyone saw that the Chinese team ran a super good result of 38.09 seconds, and there was still some expectation in their hearts, maybe there was hope for gold, but now as soon as the group results of the American team came out, the stone in everyone's heart was put down. The gap in absolute strength is sometimes difficult to make up for by technology alone.

"They still have a 100m champion, Justin Gatlin, who didn't make it." Mai Shaoqiang looked at the four members of the first round of the American team on the runway, and also let go of the idea of rushing for gold that had just risen.

"Alright, don't think about it that much." Yuan Guohua and Li Zhizhong, the assistant coach of the relay team, smiled, "The first time we participated in the men's 4×100m relay race, we were able to enter the final, which is already a historic achievement. ”

……

After the men's 4×100m second group relay race, the straight track on the field was soon cleared, and the hurdles were moved onto the track by the staff.

The final of the men's 110m hurdles will be played soon, and Liu Yangyu is in lane four.

His old rival, Atlanta Olympic gold medallist and four-time world champion Alan Johnson in 95, 95, 01, 03, tripped over the hurdle in the rematch. At this time, the other seven athletes in the 110-meter hurdles field can pose a threat to him, and the other 110-meter hurdles players from the United States, Trammell, and Cuba's Anil Garcia.

After the gun sounded in the men's 110-meter hurdles, Su Zu's heart also trembled. Although in memory, Liu Yangyu won the first gold medal in men's track and field of the Chinese team with absolute strength. But when I actually watched the game live, I was still very nervous.

12.91 seconds!

A new Olympic record, tied the world record.

The moment Liu Yangyu crossed the finish line, Su Zu, Yang Guangzong, Chen Jian, and Shen Yunbao all cheered enthusiastically. As an athlete, as a Chinese, even if the first gold medal in men's track and field is not won by himself, so what?

We are equally proud!

After the men's 110m hurdles final, there was a men's 200m victory ceremony.

Looking at the five-star red flag next to the two Star-Spangled Banners, Su Zu had pride and regret in his heart, no matter how melodious and beautiful the "Starlight Banner" was, it would not be as strong and fierce as my Volunteer March.

And the night wasn't over yet.

21:50 Athens time, 2:50 Beijing time.

At the beginning of the women's 10,000-meter final, Xing Huina finally defeated Ethiopia's Ejagaye Lake Dibaba, breaking the monopoly of the Ethiopians and winning the gold medal in the women's 10,000-meter race.

“…… It is unimaginable that the Chinese track and field team has created historic achievements today! The Chinese men's 4×100-meter relay team broke into the final for the first time, Liu Yangyu won the first gold medal in the Chinese men's track and field event, the national flag of the men's sprint 200-meter event was raised and fluttered in the second place, and the women's 10,000-meter run Xing Huina won the gold again. Our athletes have made history and achieved unprecedented results. It's a night of glory! Glory to China! Glory to Asia! ”

When the five-star red flag was raised at the 110-meter hurdles award ceremony, the on-site commentator Yang Jian was full of affection from the TV, and almost all the people who watched were deeply touched, and even burst into tears at this moment.

In 2004, China's GDP was $1.96 trillion, Japan's was $4.82 trillion, and the United States was $12.27 trillion.

At this time, it is not the world's second largest economy more than ten years later, the domestic economy has just begun to take off, and everyone from the Internet to reality has not yet had enough confidence.

If the country is strong, the sports are strong!

The medal table of the Olympic Games has always been a reference ranking of a country's overall national strength.

Whether it is competitive sports, whether it is national fitness, or commercial projects, it is the direct feedback of the country's strength and people's prosperity and the country's prosperity.

Our country has risen from generation to generation, and now it has an unstoppable and unconquerable glorious momentum.

Through the long dark night, no matter how much suffering and snow, again and again, we have fallen, but we will eventually stand up and stand on the top of the world's nations again.
