Chapter 340: You Are the King?

At 2:30 p.m. local time in Moscow, the preliminary round of the men's 100m event officially began.

Although the standard of participation in the men's 100m event at this World Championships is slightly higher than that of last year's Olympic Games. At the same time, due to the decision of the World Championships Organizing Committee to set the number of individual participants from each country to four, four athletes from sprint powerhouses such as Jamaica and the United States have signed up for the men's 100m final.

In addition, the strength of sprinters from all over the world has generally improved in the past year, so the number of athletes who signed up for the men's 100m event at the World Championships has reached an astonishing 86. As a result, the first round of the preliminary round was played for 11 groups.

In order to try to avoid some big-name players playing abnormally in the game and missing the finals, which will affect the attention of the competition. The Moscow Organizing Committee decided to divide the men's 100m event into four stages: preliminary round, semi-final, semi-final and final round.

At the same time, in order to further reduce the probability of upsets in the competition, the organizing committee also set the number of athletes who advance to the semi-finals at 40. In other words, in addition to the top three teams in each group who will advance to the semi-finals, there will also be seven fourth-place finishers in the best groups who can also advance to the second round.

Therefore, even the preliminary round of the first round is equivalent to the "pre-game warm-up" of the masters. Although on the surface, it seems that the athletes who can qualify for the competition have all met the participation standards, the gap in terms of registration results does not seem to be so obvious. But then again, for the 100-meter event, even a difference of about 0.05 seconds is equivalent to a grade difference. What's more, as early as before the start of the competition, the organizing committee had already divided the players into 4 grades according to the athletes' performance, and then evenly distributed each group according to the grades.

Sure enough, under the "deliberate" arrangement of the organizing committee, the competition process of the first three groups was relatively flat, and there were almost no unexpected results.

American sprinter Gatlin and Jamaican ace John Blake and Nesta Carter all finished top of their respective groups. Even the other 6 players in these three groups who advanced to the semifinals were all candidates that everyone was more optimistic about before the game.

Due to the relatively flat progress of the game, the enthusiasm of the tens of thousands of spectators at the scene did not seem to be very high, but only sent some less enthusiastic applause and "courtesy cheers" when the on-site commentator announced the information of the contestants.

It wasn't until the athletes from Group 4 entered the stadium that the atmosphere gradually began to be mobilized. Because in this group, the "former king of speed" - Usain Bolt finally appeared.

Although Bolt, the former king, has long since lost his former dominance, the domineering spirit that once belonged to him alone is still faintly visible in him.

When the on-site narrator introduced himself, Bolt performed his classic lightning maneuver and shouted "I'm-the-king!" as the cameras on the scene captured him close-up. ”

As Bolt shouted, he also clenched his fists and struck himself twice in the chest, as if he were in the movie.

At the same time, many domestic viewers who saw this scene through CCTV's broadcast couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Some netizens who watched the game through the live webcast also expressed their opinions on this.

"What the hell is wrong with Usain Bolt now? In the past, wasn't his expression before the start of the game quite relaxed, and even a little funny sometimes? Why has it become so terrifying now? ”

"Hahaha, it's not forced by our wind god."

"It's not easy for Usain Bolt, not only was he robbed of the gold medal by the wind god in London last year and lost face. Later, Bolt, who originally wanted to find a return to the field in the Diamond League, was also broken by the wind god who held the world record he held. Hey, you said how much it hurt to be beaten in the face! ”

"yes, yes. The strength of the wind god is really perverted. I'm a little skeptical, if this guy is also of black blood, otherwise how could his speed be so perverted? ”

"Haha, you're funny upstairs. After the wind god won the championship last year, CCTV Sports also interviewed his parents, who are 100% Chinese. ”

There are also some netizens who have good English listening and suddenly have a look of disdain on their faces after hearing Bolt's words of "I am the king" clearly.

"Bolt, can you stop bragging? You're laughing at me, our wind god hasn't shouted like that before. ”

"Isn't it, Bolt, you're so funny, 'You're the king'? Wait until you win first and our wind god will brag like this. ”

"Upstairs, don't blame him. Usain Bolt must have been having nightmares lately, which had made him a little daunted. There is still a 200-meter final at 7:30 p.m., and I guess he may have been ready to shout at that time, but unfortunately he remembered the wrong time of the game in a hurry! ”

"Hahaha, you upstairs are really a god analysis, CCTV seems to have the broadcast of that game at night."

"In any case, the 100m champion at the World Championships will definitely be windy, and no matter how hard Bolt works, he will win a silver medal at most."

Although the domestic audience who are optimistic about Feng Quan accounts for the absolute majority of Black Bolt, there are also a small number of people who have a trace of concern about Feng Quan's prospect of winning the championship.

Although the absolute strength of the wind god is the strongest, everyone should also see that he not only participated in the 100-meter race at this World Championships, but also participated in the decathlon and 400-meter competitions. In terms of physical exertion, the Wind God is at least five or six times more than Bolt's. ”

"There's a bit of truth to what was said upstairs. In particular, the decathlon is very physically demanding for athletes, and as soon as the all-around competition is over, he participated in the preliminary and semi-finals of the 400m. The physical exertion will inevitably have a big impact on his competitive state. ”

"Come on, don't be alarmist upstairs, okay? Can the Wind God be the same as everyone else? I'll also admit that the physical exertion will definitely affect his form. But didn't you see the 400m race on these two days? Breaking the Asian record in the 400m event for two consecutive days, is this competitive state not awesome enough? If you have to break the 400-meter world record, is that a good state? ”

"No fault with the upstairs. Although I don't think the current wind god can win the 400m championship, at least in the 100m event, he is definitely invincible. Didn't you see that when the wind god was in the decathlon, he ran a time of 9.70 seconds without much effort? ”

"I'm here to tell you that Usain Bolt's personal best in the 100m this year is only 9.76 seconds. So, even if the wind god can't break the world record again, there is still no suspense about winning the 100-meter championship. ”

Because less than 10% of domestic netizens are worried about the prospect of winning the 100-meter championship, their voices soon faded from the Internet.

However, when the game of Group 4 ended, the Chinese people, who were originally very optimistic about Fengquan, began to become less calm......
