Chapter 113: 400 meters "go to war"
At 21:30 on August 8, the 400-meter run, the last event of the first day of the decathlon, began. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Qi Haifeng, who was divided into the fifth track of the first group, was the first to rush out of the starting line with a starting reaction time of 0.153 seconds, and after running the first corner, he was in the leading position of the group.
And as the game continued, Qi Haifeng was still expanding his lead little by little. Heading into the final straight, he was already ahead of Liberian athlete Jenny Adi, who was in second place, by around five meters.
In the end, Qi Haifeng won the first place in the first group with a time of 47.99 seconds (910 points), followed by Jenny Adi in second place with a time of 48.64 seconds (878 points).
After the end of the first group competition, Qi Haifeng, who won the first place in the group and also refreshed his personal best score in the 400-meter event, looked very happy. As he walked towards the athletes' waiting area, he kept waving to the spectators in the stands.
The spectators in the stands also showed their gentlemanly demeanor in a timely manner and gave warm applause to Qi Haifeng, who performed well.
And Feng Quan, who was sitting in the athletes' waiting area, also stood up from his position, and shouted in the direction of Qi Haifeng while applauding with the audience: "Brother Feng, well done!" ”
――――――
In the second group race, the eight athletes in the group were overly cautious after the referee fired the starting gun for the second time, so that even Dmitry Karpov, the fastest Asian record holder, had a reaction time of more than 0.16 seconds.
Moreover, because the athletes in this group are relatively close in strength, the competition fell into a stalemate at the beginning. It wasn't until after the 300m that Brazilian Luis Alberto and South Africa's William Kerzen gradually broke free from the "entanglement" of others and rushed to the front of the team.
In the end, Alberto and Kirzen finished in the top two of the second group with a time of 48.25 seconds (897 minutes) and 48.56 seconds (882 minutes) respectively. Karpov, who had won third place at the Athens Olympics, finished fourth in his group with a time of 49.83 seconds (822 points).
In the third group that followed, after the previous four races, the third, fourth and fifth places were temporarily placed in the third, fourth and fifth places, Trey Haldy, Hans Van Albon (Belgium) and Lionel Suarez, who were assigned to the 4563 circuits of the group. What is very interesting is that when the referee sounded the starting gun, the starting reaction time of the three of them was the same 0.168 seconds.
As the race progressed, the three of them followed behind New Zealand's Brent Newdik, who had the fastest reaction at the start, in second, third and fourth.
However, after less than 200 meters, Trey Haldy was able to open up the gap between himself and the rest of his group and consolidate his lead. Suarez and Albon were surpassed by two other athletes.
In the end, with a time of 48.11 seconds (904 points), Haldy took first place in the third group. Suarez and Albon, on the other hand, are the fourth and fifth places in the group.
In addition, Serbian athlete Mikhail Dudas also had to withdraw from the competition because he accidentally fell and sprained his knee while crossing the last corner.
――――――
At 21:55, it was finally the turn of the first day of the decathlon competition, the last event of the 400m group competition.
After the first four competitions, Feng Quan and Ashton Eaton, who are temporarily ranked first and second, and the two who have been waiting in the athletes' waiting area for nearly half an hour, are finally about to compete.
After a relatively bland introduction of the athletes lined up in the first three tracks, the on-site host's emotions suddenly became excited, and his voice was a little higher than before.
"The athletes in the fifth track are from China." When reading Fengquan's name, the host obviously raised his voice and lengthened his voice. "In the 100-meter trapeze three days ago, the Chinese athlete also defeated the king of sprints, Usain Bolt, and became the new world's No. 1 flyer ......"
"Holy! This guy is not annoying, he will repeat it once the game is played, and you will be annoyed if you are not annoyed. Although he was complaining about the host in his heart, Feng Quan was still smiling and waving to the audience in the stands.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Quan quickly entered the system by taking advantage of the time when the host continued to introduce the other participating athletes, and then used the two skills of [Viagra] and [Perpetual Heart] one after another......
――――――
Damian Warner, who is located on track eight, took a look at the classic lightning bolt shape of Bolt, who was constantly waving to the audience, and was also very "arrogant", and snorted with his nose with disdain, and said to Ashton Eaton next to him: "Hey, man, do you want to keep looking at that Chinese kid and just be so 'arrogant'!?" ”
Listening to Damian Werner's words, Eaton said with a smile: "Of course not, it won't be long before I let that little guy know who is the all-powerful king today......"
As soon as Eaton's words fell, the host of the scene shouted loudly: "Track 7, Ashton-Eaton, our all-round king...... from the United States."
After briefly introducing the information of the remaining two athletes, the host said excitedly again: "The final 'decisive battle' of the decathlon 400m event is about to begin. Will it be our new 'King of Sprinting' Feng Quan, or our 'King of the Almighty' Eaton who will finish first in Group 4? ”
The next moment, the spectators in the stadium issued the names of the athletes they supported. Although there is no accurate data to rely on, judging by the loudness of the names shouted by the audience, the audience that "supports" Eaton to win the first place in the group accounts for at least 60%.
Just after the audience cooperated with the host on the scene and shouted out the names of the people they supported, the "masters" of these two names, Feng Quan and Eaton, also made different voices in their hearts at the same time.
Eaton: "See, Chinese boy. Most of the audience still knows very well who is stronger! ”
Feng Quan: "Hehe, it seems that I don't have many supporters?" I don't know if you ever bet with your opponent to buy me to win? If so, don't forget to give me a share when you win......" (To be continued.) )
