Ashton-Eaton was so excited, not only because he set his best time in the 400m with a time of 45.48 seconds, but also because he saw hope of a comeback the next day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although Ashton-Eaton knows very well that Feng Quan's strength in the 400m event is now unmatched by him. However, because Feng Quan had just finished his journey in the Bundesliga more than two months ago, his training in the decathlon was not particularly systematic.

It is precisely because of this that while Feng Quan's performance in the throwing event has improved significantly, his performance in the jumping event has shown a certain "regression" compared with last year's London Olympics.

It is for these reasons that Ashton-Eaton believes that as long as he can bite the wind on the first day of competition, he is likely to complete the final comeback on the second day of competition with the advantage of the 110m hurdles and pole vault events.

………………

Due to the relationship between Feng Quan and the third group in the 400-meter event, Ashton-Eaton's "long howl in the sky" was completely reflected in the eyes of Feng Quan, who was sitting in the athletes' waiting area.

"Hey, Daquan. That Eaton looks like he's demonstrating to you, huh? Zhao Feng, who was sitting next to Feng Quan, said with a smile.

"So what? At most, he was happy for a while. Shrugging his shoulders, Feng Quan said indifferently. When the big brother group is over, I'll make that Yankee never think of being arrogant anymore. ”

"Hehe, too. You kid can score 44.50 seconds with a casual run, and it's really not something that Yankee can match. Zhao Feng teased.

………………

Although as he grew older, Qi Haifeng's physical fitness declined. However, in the second group, he won the first place in the group with a time of 48.19 seconds (900 points).

Immediately after that, the third group began.

As the referee sounded the starting pistol in his hand, Feng Quan was like an arrow off the string, and he was the first to rush out of the starting line.

After running less than 100 meters, Feng Quan, who was placed in the third track, "overtaked" all the competitors in the same group.

After 200 meters, Feng Quan has already opened up more than 10 meters with his opponent in second place.

At the beginning, Feng Quan was ready to use the three skills of [Instant Acceleration] - [Reset] - [Instant Acceleration] in this game in a row, so that his results could easily break the 44-second mark. Thus completely shattering the "illusion" of Ashton-Eaton turning the tables in the next day's game.

However, when Feng Quan entered the final 100 meters, he gave up on this idea. After all, I still have to participate in the 400-meter individual competition in the future, so I still have to make some necessary reservations about my full strength.

Thus, the moment the wind crossed the finish line, the time on the timer was only 44.19 seconds (1102 minutes).

Even so, when the big screen in the Luzhniki Stadium refreshed the results of the race, and the wind crossed the finish line, he made a very indifferent expression in front of the cameras at the scene. Ashton-Eaton, who was still arrogant a few minutes ago, couldn't help but have great doubts about his hopes of turning the tables the next day.

Although there are still five events to be completed tomorrow, Ashton Eaton, who has once again been pulled away by the wind with 142 points, has basically given up the idea of turning the tables.

Indeed, Ashton-Eaton's "strength" in the 110m hurdles and pole vault events is stronger than the current Fengquan. But again, with Feng Quan's performance on the first day of competition, Ashton Eaton is convinced that Feng Quan's results in the discus throw and javelin throw events are also better than his own.

………………

As Ashton-Eaton predicted, in the first event of the second day, the 110m hurdles, Eaton recovered some of the points gap with a time of 13.39 seconds (1,055 points) (Feng Quan scored 1,040 points in 13.50 seconds).

In the next two competitions of discus throw and pole vault, Feng Quan and Ashton-Eaton each won each other.

After the first eight competitions, Feng Quan, who scored 7,673 points, and Ashton Eaton, who scored 7,555 points, have left the rest of their competitors far behind.

In addition to Feng Quan, who created many miracles for the Chinese people in London a year ago, unsurprisingly ranked first, got 7061 points, and temporarily ranked third in the standings, the "second senior brother" Zhao Feng, brought an unexpected surprise to the Chinese people.

As for the "big brother" Qi Haifeng, who got 6,850 points, he also did not disappoint the Chinese people and temporarily ranked 7th.

In stark contrast to the outstanding performances of the three Chinese athletes, the third-place finisher in the decathlon at last year's London Olympics, Trey Haldy, and the fourth-place finisher of Cuba, Leonel Suarez, were a bit embarrassing.

Especially before Feng Quan's debut, Trey Haldy, who was known as one of the "peerless double pride" of the world athletics all-around event, committed three fouls in the shot put event and bid farewell to the Moscow World Championships in advance.

Suarez, a Cuban friend of "Big Brother", did not end the tournament ahead of schedule as sadly as Trey Haldy. However, with just over 6,600 points after the first eight events, he basically lost hope of finishing in the top eight.

………………

Looking at the temporary points ranking of the decathlon on the big screen in the stadium, Director Feng, deputy director of the Athletics Management Center, who was personally present to supervise the battle, couldn't help but have a satisfied smile on his face.

"Hehe, Director Yue, it seems that our first gold medal in this competition should be stable." Patting Yue Wenjun beside him, Director Feng said with a smile.

However, to Feng's surprise, Yue Wenjun's face did not appear with the smile he expected.

Although after the first eight races, Feng Quan has already established a 118-point lead over Ashton-Eaton. But years of coaching experience told Yue Wenjun that the suspense of the championship battle in this game is far from over.

Looking at the notebook in his hand, Yue Wenjun said slowly without a smile: "Director Feng, it can't be said that Daquan will definitely be able to win the gold medal in this decathlon event now......

"Director Yue, you're a little too cautious, aren't you?" Glancing at Yue Wenjun suspiciously, Director Feng frowned. "If I'm not mistaken, at the London Olympics last year, the points after the first eight events seemed to be more than 140 points less than today (7,530 points at the London Olympics)......"
