At 18 o'clock in the evening, after taking a shower in the rest area and putting on a coat, Yechin appeared in the stands of the Khalifa International Stadium.

Fifteen minutes away, it will start the preliminaries of the men's 4×100m relay at the Doha Asian Games, the men's 4×100m relay has a total of two shots, the preliminaries are held at 18:15 on the 11th today, and the final will be held on the last day of the track and field event on the 12th tomorrow.

There are not many teams participating in the men's 4×100m relay at the Asian Games, and there are only 10 relay teams from 10 countries in total, divided into two preliminary groups.

Ye Qin had just finished the men's 200 meters for less than two hours, although there was no problem with his physical fitness and condition, but the head coach of the relay team, Yuan Guohua, did not arrange for Ye Qin to play.

After all, it is the preliminaries, and there are only ten teams in total, ten into eight, only two groups are eliminated in the preliminaries, and the Chinese men's 4×100m relay team can enter the final no matter what.

"The Thai team and the Japanese team should be our main competitors, there is the Thai team in this group, Ye Chin, you can observe it."

Yuan Guohua stood beside Ye Qin, and the excitement of Ye Qin winning the third gold medal in the 200-meter race had passed, and the two of them were observing the middle of the stadium attentively at the moment.

China is in the first group of the preliminary round, with Thailand, Chinese Taipei, Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong. The second group of the preliminary round is Japan, Qatar, Oman, South Korea and Kuwait.

Compared with the two, the strength of the first group of the preliminaries is stronger than that of the second group.

"I watched the video of the 4×100m relay at the last Asian Games, and the Thai team performed really well." Ye Chin's eyes fell on the teams on the track that were measuring the steps, and he was indeed observing the pre-match preparations of the Thai team.

The overall level of the 4×100m relay team of the Thai team is lower than that of China and Japan, but in 2002, the Thai team won the 4×100m relay championship at the Asian Games. In the 1998 Asian Games, the Thai team also won the second place.

Relying on the individual strength of each player in the Thai team, it defeated many Asian players by relying on skillful baton handover skills. In recent years, the Japanese side has begun to learn from Thailand's experience in the 4×100m relay race, and the training of sprinters has begun to focus on the relay event.

Ye Qin actually understands the thoughts of Yuan Guohua next to him, he is the head coach of the relay team, and he has always wanted to integrate the relay project and use the relay to drive the single event, at this time, the members of the relay team are just temporarily assembled before the competition, and they trained in a hurry for a period of time, and then they left and returned to their respective head coaches, lacking the tacit understanding of long-term training and cooperation together.

In particular, Ye Qin, although Ye Qin has occasionally participated in the men's 4×100m relay event in recent years, but because he has many events, 200 meters, 400 meters, and now there are men's 100 meters, there is very little time to participate in the 4×100m relay training.

There is a problem here, the degree of cooperation between the team members and the team members is not enough, Ye Qin was better when he handed over the baton to Yang Yao, after all, Yang Yao is very familiar with the two as training partners, but the cooperation with other people is worse.

While the two were talking, the players in each group on the field had finished measuring the steps, and the first group of the men's 4×100m relay preliminaries was about to begin.

The Chinese team is in the third lane, and the first baton of the participating players is Wen Yongyi, the second is Pang Guibing, the third is Yang Yao, and the fourth is Gu Kai. This lineup is the best lineup that the Chinese team can come up with at present, except for Ye Qin.

After a gunshot rang out, Ye Qin's eyes were fixed on the Thai team in the fourth lane, and sure enough, in terms of individual strength, Ye Qin could clearly feel that the strength of the first player of the Thai team was average, from starting to accelerating, it was much worse than Wen Yongyi of the Chinese team.

But soon it came to the handover area of the first and second sticks, Wen Yongyi and Pang Guibing had just completed the handover, and the Thai team took the lead, and the second Thai player Vachara Sandy had already rushed out quickly.

Wen Yongyi's slight advantage in the first run was immediately wiped out by the Thai team after a baton handover, and even overtaken.

Then there is the handover of the second and third sticks, Pang Guibing and Yang Yao's baton is relatively smooth in Ye Qin's opinion, but it is really not a little bit different from the Thai team's smooth handover technology, by this time, although the Thai team players are far behind the Chinese team players at the individual level, but with the baton handover technology in the relay area, they have surpassed the Chinese team.

In the sprint race, the competition is 0.1 seconds and 0.001 seconds in the end, that is, the difference between ten seconds and 100 minutes of a second, and a smooth handover can be 0.1 seconds to 0.5 seconds different from a smooth handover.

When the Chinese team reached the third base, it was already behind to the third place. The first is the Thai team, and the second is the Chinese Taipei team, which is also not outstanding in terms of individual strength, but the handover skills are still more skilled than the Chinese team.

Fortunately, entering the third baton is the strongest stick of the Chinese team in the current cornering stage.

When Yang Yao was in the National Games last year, he ran the third stick in the 4×100 meters, and with his strong speed ability, he once recovered a lot of gaps for the Shenghai team, and this time Yang Yao did not disappoint, and recovered a lot for the Chinese team in the case of backwardness.

When it came to the final handover of three or four batons, Ye Qin couldn't help but sigh a little, Yang Yao just chased some back, but in the final baton, he was caught up by the Chinese Taipei team again, and when Gu Kai rushed out, the Thai team and the Chinese team in front had already opened a few meters away, and even Chinese Taipei was almost two positions ahead.

In the end, the Chinese team won the second place in the group with a time of 39.92 seconds, and the Chinese Taipei team ranked third with a time of 39.93 seconds. The Thai team, which was ranked first, ran 39.45 seconds in this group.

After that, the Saudi Arabian team was 40.33 seconds, and the Hong Kong, China team was 40.63 seconds, and the results were very average, but after all, among the 10 teams, there were 8 promotion places, and whether the last two could enter the final depends on the performance of the second group of preliminaries.

Soon, the second group of the men's 4×100m preliminaries began.

Compared with the first group of the preliminaries, the Thai team, the Chinese team, and the Chinese Taipei team all scored 40 seconds, and there was a certain amount of stalemate between each other in the first few sticks.

Among them, the Kuwait team made a major mistake due to the handover of the second and third sticks, which made no results in the end and missed the finals.

Japan finished first in the heats with a time of 39.39 seconds, followed by Qatar in second place and Oman in third place in 40.09 seconds and 40.38 seconds.

The fourth-place South Korean team clocked 40.92 seconds, while the fifth-placed Kuwait team failed to finish the race, and both teams were eliminated.

At this point, the eight teams that will be in the final of the men's 4×100m relay at this year's Doha Asian Games, which will start at 17 pm on December 12, have been officially decided.

They are Japan, Thailand, China, Chinese Taipei, host cartel, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Hong Kong.
