Chapter 442: The Situation of the Teams

"It's in the finals!"

Before the finish line, Gu Kai looked at Yang Yao, Zhang Peimeng, Wen Yongyi and others who rushed over to hug him, and shouted loudly at the many spectators in the audience with excitement.

"We're in the finals!"

Yang Yao was also very excited, and at this moment, he seemed to feel even more excited than he had won the national 200m championship. In 2003, he made a one-day trip to the World Championships in Paris, and in 2005, he did not participate in the men's 4×100m relay event at all, and this year, he finally qualified for the 4×100m final with these young teammates.

At this moment, the pride in the hearts of the four team members present almost overflowed in their hearts, and we qualified for the final, even without Ye Qin, the first Asian sprinter, we were still able to make the Chinese 4×100m relay team enter the final.

We are strong!

We don't rely on a team of just one person!

In the audience, many Chinese spectators who were watching the game enthusiastically applauded.

When everyone saw that Ye Qin did not appear on the runway just now, many people chuckled in their hearts and felt a kind of uneasiness.

For the public, except for Ye Qin, in fact, everyone else is basically a fresh face, and the only two who may be slightly familiar with it are Yang Yao, the former first person in the domestic men's 200 meters, and the other is Gu Kai, the "glasses Xia" of Mizuki University, as for the other players, ordinary track and field viewers are basically unrecognizable.

Without Ye Qin in such a competition, everyone is very worried that they will not be able to advance to the finals in the end, in fact, whether they know how to do it or they don't know it, the worry mentality is the same.

Those who don't know the inside story simply absolutely need a world-class athlete like Ye Qin to be in charge, and those who know how to do it have a deep understanding of the gap between domestic sprinters and the world.

However, the final result was beyond everyone's expectations.

The individual level of the four players of the Chinese relay team is not very strong among many teams, but the degree of tacit understanding and the smoothness of the baton handover are the highest among several preliminaries teams.

After almost every baton trail, a baton handover won time back.

To be honest, not only many foreign audiences, but even local Chinese audiences, couldn't believe for a while that the Chinese team had progressed to such an amazing level.

“…… The boys of the Chinese team did a very good job, and it was not easy to qualify for the final of tomorrow's 4×100m without Ye Qin playing. From winning the Asian Games in December last year with a time of 39.09 seconds to running a time of 38.45 seconds in this year's preliminaries, we can imagine that every athlete in the Chinese relay team has made great efforts and sweat.

Similarly, their performance also relieved Ye Qin, who was going to participate in the men's 400m final next, and no longer had to worry about the relay race......

In the media commentary seat, Mu Jiang's voice sounded again, for the preliminaries of this relay race, he, like others, was a little frightened.

However, the excitement of the Chinese audience, whether it was in person or in front of the TV, did not last long, and soon, ushered in the most exhaled time of the host country in this World Championships.

In the second group of the men's 4×100m heats, the Japanese team played an amazing level against Jamaica and the United States, and also won the third place in the group to advance to the final, and set a new Asian record in the men's 4×100m relay with a time of 38.21 seconds.

For a while, in the stadium, the cheers almost broke through the sky.

Countless Japanese spectators waved their national flags, sang the song of cherry blossoms, and danced almost as if they had won the world championship.

This is really because since the start of the competition, it has been the seventh day of this year, and the performance of the Japanese team has been so poor, and in the previous seven days of competition, the host Japanese team has not won a medal in any of the men's and women's events.

This can be said to be devastating for the morale of many people in Japan, and now the best performance is the men's 4×100m relay team, many people came to watch the game today, and they are completely aimed at the Japanese men's 4×100m relay team, in fact, the relay team did not disappoint them, also the third place in the group, but has broken the Asian record.

“…… The performance of the Japanese team was unbelievable, and they broke the Asian record in the men's 4×100m relay heats, creating a better result than the Chinese team in the heats......"

After watching the second group of men's 4×100m preliminaries, Mu Jiang suddenly had something indescribable in his heart, feeling that in the past half a year, the Chinese relay team is growing, and similarly, Japan has also shifted its focus to this competition, and has obviously made a huge breakthrough.

In an instant, including Mu Jiang, or many people who know something about international athletics, felt a different atmosphere, and it seemed that the overall sprinting level this year had been significantly improved.

……

On the track of Nagai Stadium, the second group of the men's 4×100m relay team had just ended, and Yusse Both, who was standing on the sidelines, looked at Asafavil who walked off the field in casual clothes and gave the other party a hug.

"Well done, Asafah!"

"I'll wait for you to run second in the final, and then we can win the Yankees."

Asafavier smiled, and in the men's 4×100m heats, Dwight Thomas, Steve Mullins, Nesta Carter and his Jamaican team performed well, running a time of 38.02 seconds, 0.08 seconds faster than the U.S. team.

Although Jason Gaby did not play in the American relay team, the same Jamaica did not come up with their own strongest lineup.

Marvin Anderson and Usse Bot both didn't play, and it's certain that if they were replaced, the Jamaica team would have taken their results to the next level.

Asafavil has missed out on the men's 100m title at the World Championships and does not want to lose again in the men's 4×100m.

Asafavier himself is actually a little unclear, he will be under a lot of pressure when he runs individual events, but when he runs the relay race, he can often ignore these pressures and play his level to the fullest.

"Yusse, aren't you going back, you're going to play tomorrow!"

Asafavier took a towel from the assistant next to him to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and looked at Yusse Bot with some strange expression, the other party's expression did not seem to want to leave the field.

"There's also a men's 400m race!" Yusse Bot smiled faintly, "Asafa, you won't forget who attended, right?" ”

"Oh, you're for this?" Asafavil smiled, "I thought you came to see me play." ”

"Hey man, I know that with you leading the team, the relay team will definitely be able to advance to the finals." Yusse Bot reached out and put his arm around Asafavil's shoulder, "Don't tell me, you don't want to watch the next 400m final?" ”

"Of course." Asafavil nodded, then glanced back at the track and field, "That guy has already won the men's 100m and 200m, and I'm curious to see what he can do in the 400m." ”

Meanwhile, with the USA on the other side, Wallace Spearmon has found his place in the stands with his former training partner Jason Gaby.

"Jamaica is strong, Jason." As soon as he took his seat, Spearmon couldn't wait to talk to Jason Gaby about the Jamaican relay team.

"I see it." Jason Gaby nodded solemnly, "Jamaica has improved rapidly in recent years, and he will be our main opponent in tomorrow's final." ”

As he spoke, Jason Gaby turned his head to look at Wallace Spearmon and had a rare smile on his face, "Wallace, thank you, you guys just performed very well and successfully advanced to the final." ”

Wallace Spearmon was slightly stunned at first, and then seemed to think of something, before waving his hand and smiling, "Hey, Jason, don't say this to me, we are teammates, and I also hope that I can go home with a gold medal at this World Championships." ”

Wallace-Spearmon finished fourth in the 200m at this year's World Championships, and now if they want to make a difference at this World Championships, their best chance is in the men's 4×100m relay.

"Yes, tomorrow this gold medal will be ours."

Jason Gaby glanced into the distance and replied with great confidence.

The men's 4×100m has always been one of the strongest events for the U.S. team, and the world record still belongs to them, but the consistency of this event is not particularly good, at least much worse than the men's 4×400m. One of the biggest problems is that the baton handover is prone to mistakes.

Jason Gaby sat in the stands watching the men's 4×100m heats, and the nervousness was actually much worse than when he competed on the field.

He can see that compared with the men's 4×100m relay race at the last 05 World Championships, this year's sprinting strength and the performance of relay teams from various countries have risen to a higher level.

Moreover, when it comes to the men's 4×100m relay at the 05 World Championships, Jason Gaby has a bad impression.

At that time, in the 4×100m preliminaries of the 05 World Championships, he was the third baseman, and another American Leonard Scott was the second baseman.

The final result was that the French team, which was not strong at the time, won the championship with a time of 38.08 seconds.

When he sat in the stands, at that moment, he thought of Jax Thelin, who won the men's 100m championship and the 200m runner-up, and should be as much as he expected his teammates to make it to the final, and then he would come back to the final and finally win the gold medal.

It's just that he and Leonard Scott's mistakes frustrated Jax Thelin's desire to win another gold medal in the end, and Morris Green, who was fourth in the bar, could only stand on the track and watch the other runners speed past him, but he could not wait for the baton from his teammates.

This was a regret for the U.S. team at the time, and it was also a regret for Jason Gaby's own career, as he sat in the stands and watched the rest of the U.S. team compete, and even wondered if he would not have the opportunity to participate in the final of the men's 4×100m relay, and the result was certainly gratifying.

Rodney Martin, Wallace Spearmon, Davis Parton and LeRoy Dixon were very impressive.

However, as Wallace Spearmon said, the strength of the Jamaican team should not be underestimated.

At the '05 World Championships, Jamaica finished fourth, and the average strength of their relay team was much worse than it is now, with Asafavil missing the World Championships due to injury and Yusse Bot not joining the Jamaican relay team at that time.

But this time, with Asafaville's Jamaican 4×100m relay team, which is significantly stronger, and with the possibility of Usse Bot in tomorrow's final, Jamaica will be the biggest rival for the United States to win the championship no matter how you look at it.
