Chapter 170: See Who Has the Last Laugh (Transition Chapter)
Inside the athletes' lounge on August 30, 2 hours before the men's 100-meter dash race in Zurich, Diamond League. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yusain, whether that wind is all about releasing smoke bombs before the game, or if he is really not in very good shape, you have to play your full strength without reservation, and you must not take it lightly." Glenn Mills said to Usain Bolt next to him.
"Don't worry, Glenn. Even if that kid is really in bad shape, I'll definitely do my best. Bolt said confidently. If the audience can see that the arrogant kid is left far behind me, everyone will know how weak that kid is in front of me. ”
"Well, that's good. If that's what you think, then I'm relieved. Glenn Mills nodded in satisfaction. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to completely shatter that kid's confidence, he will never be a threat to our Jamaican team in the future......"
――――――
Twenty minutes before the start of the men's 100-meter sprint, Feng Quan entered the system again and purchased two bottles of [Status Recovery Potion] in the [System Shop], thus improving his [Physical Condition] to an "excellent" state.
After everything was ready, Feng Quan, together with the other 8 participating athletes, walked out of the athletes' lounge and entered the athletes' passage under the guidance of the staff.
Due to a light rain on the day of the race, the nine athletes who participated in the men's 100-meter sprint did not walk from the athletes' tunnel to the track at the Rutzgrund Stadium until 10 minutes before the start of the race.
As is customary, when the nine athletes step onto the 100-meter track, the host of the scene begins to introduce the participating athletes.
"Track 1, Kim Collins, from St. Kitts and Nevis......"
Because the vast majority of the audience at the scene have extremely rich experience in watching the game, when the host on the scene introduced the relevant information of Kim Collins and the achievements made in recent years, the audience was very friendly to the 36-year-old veteran, and offered warm applause.
"Track 2, Ryan Bailey, from the ...... USA"
"Track 3, Jamaica, Joan Blake......
After the introduction of the first three participating athletes, it was finally the turn of the climax of the opening "ceremony".
"The athletes on track 4 are from China." The voice of the on-site host is obviously a little more high-pitched than before. "At the just-concluded London Olympics, he not only became the new 'king of sprinting', but also broke the Olympic 100-meter dash record with a time of 9.60 seconds......
When the host introduced himself, Feng Quan smiled and waved to the audience who were giving him warm applause and cheers. From his face full of confidence, there was still a faint exudation of a little "king's wind......
――――――
Looking at Feng Quan, who was smiling and waving to the audience, Usain Bolt's face showed a hint of contempt. And when he heard the word "king of sprinting" from the mouth of the host on the spot, the expression on his face became more exciting.
"Humph! The King of Sprints!? Only the fastest runner in this world is qualified to be called the king of sprinting! And the fastest person in the world is me! Bolt squinted at Feng Quan. Let's just make you proud for a while, and it won't be long before everyone knows who the real 'king of sprinting' is......"
"Track 5, Usain Bolt ......" With the passionate voice of the host, the applause and cheers of the audience in the stands seemed to be even more than when Feng Quan was introduced before.
With the support of the audience's warm applause, Bolt uncharacteristically did not make his trademark "lightning shape", but made a more "arrogant" index finger pointing to the sky.
Not only that, but compared with Bolt, who always had a sunny and confident smile in other games, the expression on his face at this time was obviously much more serious.
After posing, Bolt turned his head to Feng Quan and said, "Hey, Feng, I hope that after the game is over, you can still have the smile on your face now." ”
Feng Quan was stunned for a moment after listening to Bolt's words, and then he replied with a smile:
"Oh, don't worry, Eusain, I'll be smiling even brighter after the game......
――――――
"Circuit 6, Christopher Le Martre ......"
As the only European athlete in the race, the first young white athlete (22) from France to break the 10-second barrier (9.98 seconds) received even more applause than Feng Quan and Usain Bolt.
When the host introduced himself, Le Matri's face always maintained a flat expression, and even when the audience in the stands gave him warm applause, he was still a little drowsy.
In fact, the heart of the French athlete is not as calm as his face appears. Behind Le Matriet's flat expression, it was a complete cover for his nervousness.
After seeing Feng Quan's success at the London Olympics, Le Matri, as the first white athlete to run the 10-second barrier, is eager to be recognized by the track and field world as well.
Therefore, Le Matri, who valued the opportunity to compete with many of the world's top sprinters, was a little too nervous under the huge psychological pressure.
――――――
"Track 9, Tyson Gay, from the American ......"
When the host read out his name, Tyson Gay took a deep breath before slowly raising his right arm to respond to the warm applause of the audience in the stands.
In the absence of his teammate Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay, the strongest of the three American athletes participating in this competition, is undoubtedly under tremendous pressure to maintain the honor of American sprinting.
Because of this, before the game even started, his face was full of nervousness.
――――――
When the host of the scene finished the introduction of American athlete Tyson Gay, the more than 20,000 spectators in the stands of Rutz Grund Stadium once again spontaneously and rhythmically applauded, and the pace of applause gradually became faster and faster.
With the gradual acceleration of the pace of applause, the competition status of the nine participating athletes also became more excited. Even the French teenager Le Matri, who was "pretending" to be calm just now, but was actually extremely nervous, also stretched his eyebrows with the encouragement of the audience.
A minute later, when the referee at the scene issued the command "onyourmarks", the applause of the audience also subsided.
Immediately afterwards, when the referee gave the "set" command again, the nine athletes participating in the men's 100-meter sprint in the Zurich leg of the Diamond League were like bows and arrows full of strings, ready to rush out of the starting line.
A few seconds later, just after the referee sounded the starting pistol in his hand, a device near the starting line that was responsible for testing whether the athlete had run away gave out a "beep!" There was a buzz...... (To be continued.) )
