August 22, the eighth day of the track and field event of the Yenjing Olympic Games.

The entire Olympic Games are now coming to an end, and the Chinese Olympic team is ahead of the United States and Russia in the gold medal list, standing at the top of the gold medal table and sitting firmly in the first place.

The enthusiasm for the Olympics at home and abroad has almost begun to wane, and although there are still many competitions, the enthusiasm for these competitions is not particularly high.

But there is another one today, which is attracting attention from domestic and foreign audiences, that is, the men's 4×100m relay final.

At 22 o'clock in the evening, when the men's decathlon 1500m competition ended, the atmosphere of the entire Bird's Nest Stadium was boiling, and nearly 90,000 spectators were waiting in the stands for the men's 4×100m relay final that was about to begin.

At the same time, in front of the TV at this moment, countless viewers have also tuned the TV channel back to CCTV 5.

The result of this game has actually been analyzed by many people before the game, and various posts on the Internet have been discussed before the game, and the final championship belongs.

The Jamaican team is undoubtedly strong, with all four bars under the 10-second mark, with Yusse Bol and Asafavil being the top three in the men's 100m.

As long as they play at their normal level and don't make major mistakes, there is almost no suspense about the championship.

Although the Chinese team has Ye Qin, the world record holder in the men's 100m event, it is difficult to do it alone, and the best result in this competition is to strive for a medal.

Of course, better outcomes are not out of the question.

After all, this is a track and field field, this is a relay race. In the first group of preliminaries, as many as four teams, including the United States and Great Britain, made mistakes in handing over the baton and ended up with no results and disqualified.

"Are you ready?"

In the lounge of the Bird's Nest Stadium, Ye Qin checked his spikes and number plate one last time, and when he stood up, he saw Yang Yao waving to the three people beside him.

The core figure of this relay team is undoubtedly Ye Qin, and it is Ye Qin's appearance that makes the men's sprint event usher in a small explosion, and the athletes break the shackles on their bodies and have more scientific training.

But in comparison, Yang Yao, who has been in the national team for almost ten years, is an indispensable role to some extent.

Ye Qin's results are good enough, like a benchmark, but he often trains and competes and is not with other team members, and there is not much difference between him and Zhang Peimeng and others in terms of age. On the contrary, Yang Yao has been going all out to play a role like a weight in this relay team.

Seeing Yang Yao greeting him, Ye Qin was the first to walk towards him and replied loudly, "Ready!" ”

"That's it!"

"That's it!"

Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian on the side looked a little excited, and walked over together, their eyes fell on Yang Yao and Ye Qin, and nodded solemnly.

Yang Yao smiled and took the lead in stretching out his hand, the back of his hand facing down, and then Ye Qin, Zhang Peimeng, and Su Bingtian reached out and folded them one after another.

"China ......," Yang Yao shouted in an impassioned voice.

"Victory!" All three shouted at the same time.

"Let's go, let's play!"

……

10:10 p.m.

The Bird's Nest Stadium is brightly lit as if it were daytime.

Nearly 90,000 spectators gathered here, and a deafening shout and cheering resounded in the sky.

"Friends from the audience, the final of the men's 4100m relay is coming soon...... Now that the players have entered the stadium, they are making the final preparations before the competition. ”

When the TV screen switched to the Bird's Nest Stadium, at the same time, Mu Jiang's voice was transmitted to thousands of households through the broadcast signal.

On the big screen, the information of the eight teams in the men's 4×100m relay final appeared on the big screen and TV screen.

“…… The second is the Chinese team, which has made significant progress in sprinting events in recent years, not only because of Ye Qin's performance on the field, but also because other athletes in the Chinese team have also made rapid progress. Athletes like Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian are quite young, and it is very likely that they will enter the 10-second mark in three or five years, and Yang Yao, who is in the third place, has already entered the men's semi-finals for two consecutive Olympic Games...... The goal of the Chinese team is to fight for a medal.

The first baton of the Chinese team is Su Bingtian, the second batter is Zhang Peimeng, the third batter is Yang Yao, and the fourth batter is Ye Qin! …… This year's World Junior Championships men's 100m champion, in their own home stadium, under the attention of 90,000 people, four Chinese athletes will meet the world's strong competitors head-on competition and challenges. As the core figure of the Chinese team, Ye Qin also played the most important role in the men's 4×100m relay final!

The third is the Brazilian team, the first team is Lima, the second is Viana, the third is Perth, and the fourth is Munia;

The fourth is Trinidad and Tobago, the first is Bradman, the second is Mark Burns, the third is Carlander, and the fourth is Richard Thompson, who has a good performance in the 100m.

Let's take a look at the strong Jamaican team that is about to challenge the senior American team, the first batter is Nesta Carter, the second is Fratt, the third is Yusse Bote, and the fourth is Asafaville, can they take the baton perfectly? Can you challenge the human limit of 37.40 seconds of the U.S. team 15 years ago? Perfect to see.

Sixth, Team Canada, the first batter is Parrymel, the second batter is Henry, the third batter is Connaughton, the fourth batter is Brown;

The seventh lane is the Japanese team, and the four bats of the Japanese team are Naoki Tsukahara, Shingo Suesu, Shinji Takahira and Nobuharu Asahara.

In the eighth lane, the Dutch team, the first batter was Carson, the second batter was Hugemu, the third batter was Luik, and the last batter was Douglas.

The ninth German team, the first team Ingres, the second team Hermke, the third team Kosenkov, the fourth team Keller......

The Jamaicans fielded their strongest line-up, and they faced not any other team in the room, but the United States team fifteen years ago, the legendary American team led by the legendary Carl Lewis, with a human limit of 37.40 seconds, and their biggest challenge in this race was the handover of four sticks......

At the same time, this is also the second time that the Chinese team has entered the final of the top track and field event after the World Championships in Osaka last year......× Whether the Chinese team, with Ye Qin as the fourth baseman, can play well to defeat other opponents and strive for a medal, or even a silver medal, is very worthy of our expectations! ”

Ye Qin carefully measured the step point in the fourth relay area, and made a mark on the step point with a small tape, and then confirmed that it was correct, and then returned to his position to quietly prepare for the game.

He still learned this trick from Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng, after the Chinese men's 4100-meter relay team achieved very ideal and good results at the World Championships in Osaka last year, everyone has put a lot of effort into this aspect.

Compared with individual events, team relay events such as 4100m require high individual ability, but they still give more possibilities.

The lack of individual strength can be compensated for by technique, and a baton handover action is likely to recover a gap of 0.2 seconds to 0.5 seconds in a sprint race where every second counts.

"Ye Chin, come on!"

"Ye Chin, Ye Chin!"

……

Next to the relay area of the fourth corner, many people in the spectator stand who saw Ye Qin shouted and cheered wildly.

Whether the Chinese team can run a good result in this final depends on whether the handover of the first three sticks is smooth and whether it will be dragged too much by other opponents, and on the other hand, it all depends on the personal ability of Ye Qin, who is the fourth stick, and how many other players can catch up in the end.

Of the eight relay teams currently on the field, excluding the strong Jamaican team, Trinidad and Tobago's top three baton strength is also not weak, and the Japanese team's Naoki Tsukahara, Shingo Sueji and Shinshi Takahira are still above the top three of the Chinese team in terms of overall individual ability.

Other teams such as Brazil and Germany will not lose to the Chinese team at least in the first three sticks, and the Chinese team wants to break through such a deadlock and fight for a medal from several teams, and it also needs to go all out to run!

“On your marks!”

After the eight relay teams had completed their pre-race preparations, the first starting line sounded the command for the runners to be in position.

The boiling Bird's Nest Stadium seemed to fall silent in an instant, and a pair of eyes full of anticipation were all projected on the track and field.

And many viewers in front of the TV were sitting or standing at this moment, or a few minutes closer to the TV screen, and their expressions became nervous.

Bang bang bang......

Standing in front of the starting line of the second lane, Su Bingtian seemed to hear the sound of his heart beating violently.

Nervousness, excitement, all kinds of emotions seem to fill the chest.

From the day he entered the national team, he never imagined that he would be able to stand on the Olympic stage so soon.

Everything was like a dream.

He is a teenager who came out of a small town, and he has not been in the sports school for a long time, and he was fortunate to be favored by Coach Yuan Guohua and realized a leap from the Guangdong track and field team to the national team.

Originally, according to the estimate given to him by his sports school coach, it should take two or three years for him to run such a time of about 10.30 seconds, but he entered the national team early, and the more scientific technology introduced from IMG Academy and other foreign countries made him improve much faster.

More importantly, the competitive atmosphere in the relay team is very good, although he is currently in the role of catching up, but he does not feel that his strength is inferior to others and is frustrated, but because there is a clear goal to improve step by step.

This year, he won his first individual men's 100m title at the World Junior Championships, which is the highest personal honour he has ever received.

"You're also a world champion!"

Su Bingtian remembered that before the game, because he was a little nervous, his teammates joked with him.

In an instant, his heart seemed to have become a lot.

This men's 100m champion at the World Youth Championships is the biggest confidence for him to be able to stand on this field and compete with other athletes.

In 2007, he entered the final of the men's 4×100m relay at the World Championships, replacing the in-form Wen Yongyi, and this time he is no longer a substitute.

From the beginning of the preliminaries to the current finals, he has been the best and most suitable athlete in China.

“SET！”

With his feet on the runner, Su Bingtian almost subconsciously changed from squatting to squatting and starting when he heard the password, and the whole person was completely engaged in this race.

He knows his mission!

He is the first baton, what he has to do is not to be left behind too much by other runners at the start, and do his best to hand over the baton in his hand to Zhang Peimeng!

They were able to finish fourth at last year's World Championships in Osaka, and they should be even stronger after a year!

Syllable!

The crisp electronic starting gun sounds!

At the moment when the gunshot rang out, Su Bingtian suddenly accelerated from a fast start on the runner.

His pace is very fast, the moment the gun rang out, the twenty meters in front of him are almost not weaker than any other player, after twenty meters, Su Bingtian did not raise his head quickly, he communicated with Ye Qin and Yang Yao and others, his current running rhythm is not particularly ideal, although the start is very fast, but the premature rise will affect his acceleration momentum, at this time he should keep it as much as possible to make his good momentum of running further.

The moment the gun rang out, the entire arena suddenly changed from quiet to noisy. The shouts and cheers were intertwined, and the sound was like a tide.

Because it was in the second and innermost lane, Su Bingtian could see the positions of several other runners in front of him the moment he raised his head.

Needless to say, the Jamaican player in the fifth bat alone was the first bat of the Brazilian team, Lima, who pulled him away by some distance.

Su Bingtian clenched his teeth, his whole face twitched, and his not too long hair flew high, going all out to catch up.

He is the first baton of the Chinese men's 4×100m relay team, and he was chosen as the first baton not only because of his good speed now, but also for another reason, that is, although he is not very old, he has a stable and strong mentality and dares to face any strong opponent in the world.

"It's not that I'm afraid of them, it's that they're afraid of me!"

50 meters, 60 meters, 70 meters......

Getting closer and closer to the area where the baton was handed over, he had already seen Zhang Peimeng's figure.

Zhang Peimeng suddenly felt that his heart seemed to be grabbed tightly at the moment when the gun rang out in the game, and the nervousness before the game, especially when the gunshot, was enough to make ordinary people lose their temper the whole time.

But the large number of games and the idea of not admitting defeat made him more and more preoccupied at this time.

Strictly speaking, he came from a sports family, his parents were athletes, and his sports were outstanding among his peers since he was a child.

He entered the Yanjing team in 04 and the national team in 05, and he can be regarded as the most outstanding sprinting genius in China. It's just that after he really entered the national team, he realized a peer who was only one or two months older than him, but he surpassed him in all aspects.

This gave rise to a strong sense of competition and crisis in his heart, and later after Su Bingtian, a younger teenager, joined, this sense of competition became even stronger.

His former coach of the Yanjing team said that his talent could run about 10.20-10.30 seconds, and he used to believe it, but now he feels that he can run higher than this.

If they can get there, I'm sure I can too!

Even if you can't reach that height, it's always possible to run the 10-second mark with a discount!

This is Zhang Peimeng's positioning and belief in his own ability!

This men's 4×100m relay is of great significance to him!

After last year's World Championships in Osaka, and before he competed in the men's 100m and 200m events this year, he knew that if he wanted to win a medal at the Games, the men's 4×100m relay would undoubtedly be the most likely.

Last year's World Championships in Osaka finished fourth with a time of 37.94 seconds, but this result would have been a gold medal if it had been placed in the last Athens Olympics.

This year's opponents are strong!

The Jamaican team is in full swing!

But in a year's time, we have worked hard, and we are definitely not lazy!

We're making progress too!

Turning sideways and looking at the runway behind him from a distance, when Su Bingtian entered the position where he had measured his steps, he suddenly turned his head and started to accelerate!

He's not known for starting and accelerating, but it's a relay race and he has a relay area for him to accelerate!

"Pick it up!"

Just as Zhang Peimeng quickly ran out of the distance of three or four steps, he suddenly heard a voice behind him that seemed to burst out of his chest.

Without the slightest hesitation, he threw his left arm back, spread his palm, and the baton fell firmly on his hand.

After firmly grasping the baton, Zhang Peimeng ran quickly towards the front!

In the arena, the Chinese audience cheered loudly for Zhang Peimeng when he was sprinting quickly!

The disadvantage of the second lane is that from the beginning of the race, whether it is the audience on the scene or in front of the TV, the Chinese team is at the back, even if the relative position is not slow, it is difficult to have a clear reference.

“…… It's game on! After the start, Su Bingtian was very fast, Su Bingtian's start was not lost to other opponents, let's take a look at the handover of one or two sticks...... Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng! The Chinese team took over the baton perfectly! From the front, the Jamaican team is running ahead, clearly in the lead! ”

After the relay race began, Mu Jiang's voice was almost like a cannon, and word by word came out of his mouth quickly, and it was transmitted to the ears of many viewers in front of the TV because the camera was far away.

The second straight stage......

Zhang Peimeng is very fast and runs very fiercely!

The handover between him and Su Bingtian was also very fast, and he barely delayed too much unnecessary time, but at this moment, he was still slightly inferior to other opponents in terms of relative distance.

However, he is more mature in his technique and personal ability than Su Bingtian at this time, and Su Bingtian was left behind by Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Brazil and Japan in the first base.

But after the handover of one or two sticks, this gap has been recovered.

Zhang Peimeng's second straight, although still unable to catch up with Jamaica in the rapid run, overtook Brazil, only behind Trinidad and Tobago and Japan.

Two or three sticks handover!

Yang Yao was already waiting in the relay area of the third stick from the moment the gunshot rang out!

This is the second Olympic Games he has participated in, and for a Chinese male sprinter, being able to participate in two Olympic Games is already a very good result.

In both Olympic Games, he entered the second round of the men's 200m event, and he actually qualified for the men's 100m event, but in the end he gave it to Gu Kai and Zhang Peimeng.

In terms of personal honor, he is very similar to Zhang Peimeng!

In the individual event, even if he participated in the men's 100m, he was probably eliminated in the preliminaries or semi-finals, but focused on the relay event, with the help of the team, he is very hopeful to win a medal!

He was born in '81 and is already twenty-five or sixteen years old this year, and if nothing else, this Yenching Olympics is likely to be the last one he will participate in.

He wants to have a happy ending!

I want a medal!

An Olympic medal!

This thought, this thought, he never said to anyone else!

Since he came back from his training camp in the United States, he has been preparing and working hard for it!

Why is he the big brother on the track and field team?

Including Ye Qin, Zhang Peimeng, Su Bingtian, and even Gu Kai and Liu Yangyu, they all respect him very much, not only because he entered the national team relatively early, but he is friendly to others and willing to take care of others.

It is also that his training attitude has always been impeccable and blameless!

Silently diligent, silently hardworking!

The sound of fast footsteps sounded!

Yang Yao saw that Zhang Peimeng entered the step point area he had measured, and suddenly started to accelerate!

His starting speed and running ability are not much different from those of other team members, but years of training in the 200m have given him a cornering technique that is better than others.

"Pick it up!"

After Yang Yao started, he heard the sound of Zhang Pei Meng suddenly like thunder behind him.

There was no need to think about anything in particular, it was completely instinctive as soon as the body stretched out his hand, and the baton fell on his hand.

This is an absolute tacit understanding developed by eating and living together and training together for two or three years, and from the beginning of his acceleration at the start, the distance of each step has completely reached the state of fit.

“…… The third batter of the Jamaican team was Yusse Bote, who started the baton handover a little bit and slowed down a bit, but still ran first with his super ability.

The third baton of the Chinese team is Yang Yao, Yang Yao took over the baton smoothly and did not waste a little time, the Japanese team ran in second place, and the third place was Trinidad and Tobago! Yang Yao is catching up quickly in the corner! ”

In Mu Jiang's commentary, the audience in front of the TV could hear the huge roar in the Bird's Nest Stadium, which was almost exploding.

The third stick is only a little more than 80 meters away, and it will be the fourth stick soon!

There, Yechin is already waiting!

Ye Qin's head was turned inward, left and backwards, looking at Yang Yao's step by step towards him, he didn't look behind him from the right, because the outer path was not far from him, and the fourth rod of the other paths was waiting there.

In this group of relay finals, he doesn't need to see where the opponent is, he just needs to wait for the baton and wait for Yang Yao!

Thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters......

Yang Yao's figure flew down the runway with incredible speed, and with the perfect baton handover in front of them, China has now overtaken Brazil, only behind Jamaica, Japan and Trinidad and Tobago.

Ye Qin adjusted his breathing slightly, but the muscles inside his body seemed to be roaring wildly, just waiting for the gear to hang up, and he was about to rush out.

"It's here!"

Ye Qin suddenly turned his head when he saw Yang Yao's figure running to the position of the step point he had fixed with the cloth strip, and his body began to accelerate almost instantly.

"Pick it up!"

Yang Yao's voice seemed to cover up the countless huge roars on the sidelines at this moment, and it sounded clearly in Ye Qin's ears.

Ye Qin stretched out his hand to the back, and the baton with the sweat of the three athletes in front of him fell into his hand.

"Ye Qin, run!"

Yang Yao shouted loudly at the moment when he handed over the baton to Ye Qin!

In an instant, Ye Qin's whole spirit seemed to be raised to the highest state! After receiving the baton, he quickly ran out of the relay area and moved from the corner into the straight.

His eyes looked ahead.

A yellow figure at the front had already flown out, opening a huge gap with him.

That's Asafavir!

The Jamaican team has an amazing performance in this group!

The combination of Yusse Both's third and Asafavir's fourth is the fastest three- and four-stick combination in the history of human athletics.

In addition to Jamaica's Asafavil, Trinidad and Tobago's fourth baseman Richard Thompson and Japan's Nobuhara are also several positions ahead of Yechin at this time.

"Rush! Rush! Rush! ”

The shouts and cheers from the sidelines reached their highest point!

It's only about 70 meters away from the finish line!

"Brothers, you've gone all out! The rest, it's my job! ”

Ye Qin held the baton in his hand, swinging his arms and striding frantically, and the movements of his hands and feet were so fast that there was almost only an afterimage left.

He knew what the other three were thinking!

It's a great honour to be able to compete at the Olympics in your home country!

And if you can compete for a medal, it will be an unimaginable achievement for yourself!

Unlike Ye Chin, the other three have already won the men's 100m and 400m events, with the men's 4×100m relay being their biggest target.

And this is also what many coaches in the Chinese track and field team are looking forward to, Yuan Guohua started to accept the Chinese relay team, in order to be able to compete for a medal at the Olympic World Championships!

At last year's World Championships in Osaka, the Chinese team was a little bit worse in the end, only finishing fourth.

But in this year's Olympic Games, when the two strong teams of the United States team and the British team are out, the Chinese team is the most likely to win a medal!

And now, whether or not he can get this bronze medal or silver medal that is comparable to the gold medals of many competitions depends on Ye Qin's performance!

Ye Chin's speed has increased to an unprecedented speed!

He seems to be faster than him in the men's 100m final!

The audience, as well as those in front of the television, seemed to see a red bolt of lightning that came and rushed towards the finish line.

“…… The last stick!

Asafavil has received the baton from Yousse Bot and is in full swing towards the world record! …… Ye Qin, Ye Qin is starting quickly after getting the baton, Ye Qin is chasing, Ye Qin's speed is too fast! He's flying like that!! ”

In the media commentary seat, Mu Jiang's whole person had almost half climbed onto the table, and he was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

The shouts of the audience pierced the sky in an instant!

Fifty meters from the finish line......

Ye Qin rushed up from behind and tied the fourth baton of the Japanese team, Nobuji Asahara!

On the straight, the position of the competitors was clearly visible to almost everyone present!

Fifty meters from the finish line, Yechin overtook Nobuharu Asahara, starting to chase Trinidad and Tobago's fourth-man Richard Thompson.

Forty meters from the finish line, Ye Chin and Richard Thompson were neck and neck as they sprinted towards the finish line.

Thirty meters from the finish line, Yechin overtook Richard Thompson and went all out to catch Asafavil in front.

Asafavir was close to the finish line at this time, and there were only about ten meters left, less than ten meters away, and the advantage accumulated by each baton in front of the Jamaican team was too obvious!

Ye Qin did not give up at all at this time, and after surpassing Richard Thompson, he was still frantically chasing Asafavil!

The lightning of one yellow and one red shook the audience at this moment!

Rush the line!

37.10 seconds!

On the finish line timing board, the championship results of this group of men's 4×100m finals clearly appeared!

“…… 37.10 seconds! Record! The Jamaican team has set a new world record! New Human Limits! …… The final result of the Chinese state was...... 37.73 seconds! The Chinese team won the silver medal! Breaking the Asian record! Ye Qin's speed in the last fourth baton was almost amazingly fast, and everyone in the whole arena could see that Ye Qin was in a duel with Asafarevill for absolute speed from the moment he received the baton......"

At the moment when Ye Qin crossed the finish line, the Chinese and Jamaicans in the audience cheered.

It can be said that the most exciting thing in this men's 4×100m final is the final fourth baton duel!

Jamaica's Asafavir was dazzled by the astonishing speed of the baton, and the astonishing speed of Yechin who chased after the baton frantically from behind made the world once again realize the perverted speed ability of the world record holder.

On the big screen at the scene, the final results of the men's 4×100m relay final have appeared:

1. Lane 5, Jamaica team, 37.10 seconds;

2. The second lane, the Chinese team, with a score of 37.73 seconds;

3. Lane 4, Trinidad and Tobago, 38.06 seconds;

4. Lane 7, Japan, 38.15 seconds;

5. In the third lane, Brazil, 38.24 seconds;

6. Lane 9, Germany, 38.58 seconds;

7. Lane 6, Team Canada, 38.66 seconds;

8. Lane 8, Netherlands, 45.81 seconds;

In the statistics of the results of each bar after the race, the fastest third bar was 8.98 seconds by Yusse Both, and the fastest fourth bar was 8.65 seconds by Yechin and 8.70 seconds by Asafarville.

On the field, after Ye Qin won the silver medal in the 4×100m with his super personal ability, the other three Yang Yao, Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian were almost overjoyed.

One by one, from the other end of the runway, they rushed to Ye Qin's side!

This is the first time that the Chinese men's 4×100m relay team has entered the final of the Olympic Games!

And this first time, it won a valuable silver medal for the Chinese relay team!

The audience and the audience in front of the TV also began to applaud enthusiastically at this time!

Cheers and rejoice for the outstanding performance of the Chinese team in the arena!

The contrast between the strength of the Chinese team and the Jamaican team is very clear, and Ye Qin's strong strength in the last stick did not disappoint!
