El Karis is Fengquan's personal trainer, and the personal relationship between the two is not bad, but due to differences in eating habits, the two rarely eat together. Because of this, Feng Quan felt a little surprised when he saw the other party calling him at dinner time.

Despite his surprise, Feng Quan quickly pressed the answer button on his phone.

Before Feng Quan could speak, the other party spoke first: "Feng, the grouping of the 400-meter semifinals will come out tomorrow." After a slight pause, El-Karis continued, "Moreover, you have been placed in the group of death. ”

"Oh, my teammates and I are eating at the restaurant on the third floor of the hotel, if you haven't eaten yet, how about you come over and talk while eating?" Feng Quan said in a relaxed tone.

"Well, okay. I'll go over it. With that, El-Karis hung up.

"Daquan, was it the call from the old American man just now?" Since Feng Quan and El Karis were communicating in English, Qi Haifeng easily guessed who the caller was.

"Well, that's him." Feng Quan replied.

"And what did he tell you?" Zhao Feng, who was sitting opposite Fengquan, asked.

"Oh, it's nothing. Just tell me about tomorrow's 400m semi-finals. After a pause, Feng Quan continued in a light tone: "And I was also divided into a death group. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Feng said with some surprise: "What!?" The Group of Death? Can you still be so calm when you hear the news? I'm really drunk too......"

"Anyway, my goal is to win the championship, and it's not the same which group I will be in in the semi-finals." Feng Quan shrugged his shoulders and said a little indifferently.

"Champion!? Daquan, you're not kidding me, are you? If you're talking about the 100m championship, I'm sure you believe it. But it's your first time competing in the 400m event, so you are so confident in yourself? Zhao Feng's eyes widened.

Although he participated in the 400m individual event for the first time, he easily broke the Asian record in the preliminaries. There may be a possibility of a time of 44.39 seconds to challenge for the top six, but if you aim for the eventual champion, you will need at least 43.90 seconds to achieve it.

The reason why Zhao Feng was surprised by Feng Quan's goal of winning the 400-meter championship was also a normal thing, after all, he had never seen his junior brother run under 44 seconds in the race. And that's true even in regular training.

"Hehe, Second Senior Brother, if I tell you that I have never used my full strength in the 400-meter race so far, do you believe it?" Feng Quan said with a smile.

In fact, only Feng Quan knows best in his heart that if he uses his multiple skills at the same time in the race, although his hope of breaking the world record in the 400m event is a little slim. But there is still a lot of hope, within 43.70 seconds.

If Feng Quan can really run within 43.70 seconds in the race, then he has a lot of confidence that he can win the 400m event in this competition. After all, it's been a long time since 400m champion Michael Johnson retired from the World Championships that there has been no dominant athlete in the event. In addition, in the previous world championships, the championship runners have basically achieved a time between 43.50 and 43.90 seconds.

"Daquan, do you mean that you are going to give everyone a 'blockbuster' at this World Championships?" Qi Haifeng, who had never spoken, was also a little surprised when he heard the words.

"Hehe, you know me, it's still senior brother." After a pause, Feng Quan continued: "Oh, I haven't eaten since today's game, let's order food first, I'm dying of hunger." With that, the three of them turned their attention back to the waiter next to them.

Not long after the three Feng Quanshi brothers finished ordering, they saw El-Karis, who was holding a small notebook in his hand, and walked towards the seat they were sitting in after entering the restaurant.

As soon as El-Karis, who had just sat down in his seat, he quickly opened the small notebook in his hand after simply saying hello to the three of them.

"Hey, Wind, you don't seem to have a lot of luck." El-Karis teased with a smile. "Do you know who the athletes were in the same group as you in the semi-finals?"

"I don't know the specific grouping, but since you said I was unlucky, I must have met a lot of difficult guys?" As he spoke, Feng Quan shrugged his shoulders a little unconcernedly.

Seeing Feng Quan's indifferent look, El-Karis was not unhappy, but was very satisfied with the reaction of his "disciple". Although the American old man does not know what the full strength of Feng Quan is in the 400-meter event, one thing he can be sure of is that Feng Quan now has at least the strength to break the 44-second mark.

"Hehe, that's right." El Karis smiled and nodded, "Last year's London Olympics 400m champions and runners-up, Killarney James and Santos, as well as fourth-placed Chris Brown and fifth-placed Kevin Bolai, are all in the same group as you. ”

After listening to El-Karis's introduction, Feng Quanyun said lightly: "Oh, then I just need to beat one of them casually to enter the finals?" ”

"Oh, no, no, no. You'll have to defeat at least two of the four of them. After a pause, El Carris continued: "Because Lashawn Merritt is also in this group. ”

Although the old American man did not say it explicitly, his meaning is obvious, that is, the current Fengquan has a strong strength in the 400-meter event, but it is still a little unrealistic to defeat the current recognized "King of the 400 meters" LaSean Merritt.

Don't look at Lasean-Merritt's poor form at last year's London Olympics, failing to qualify for the final of the 400m event. But in the eyes of most insiders, LaSean-Merritt is still the strongest man on the project today. The reason why he didn't achieve excellent results at last year's Olympics was because he suddenly caught a cold before the semi-finals.

Moreover, this year's performance of Lashawn-Merritt in the 400m event is indeed dominant. As long as he participates in the competition, he has never let the championship fall by.

Although he felt that El-Karis was not very optimistic about his championship prospects, Feng Quan didn't care about anything. After all, he has never shown his full strength in the 400m event in front of anyone. But no matter what, the feeling of being "underestimated" will always make people a little unhappy.

So, Feng Quan wanted to take this opportunity to make a little "joke" with a few people around him......
