Chapter 557: Semi-finals
Jason Gaby, who was first in the group, ran 9.98 seconds, Michael Flatt was 10.09 seconds, and Saidi Doerr of Trinidad and Tobago was 10.16 seconds......
Let's take a look at Zhang Peimeng's results, 10.17 seconds, just a little bit worse than Yidi-Dur, which is a very good result, and it is also one of the best results that Zhang Peimeng has run in major events this year, compared to previous years, Zhang Peimeng's progress is what we can see......"
In the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Mu Jiangzheng on the media commentary bench was commenting on the men's 100m semi-finals group 4.
On the field, Zhang Peimeng, who was located in the seventh lane, looked at the results that appeared on the big screen at the moment, and waved his fist with some anger.
"Fourth in the group, fourth in the group......"
According to the rules for the men's 100m at this World Championships, the top three in each of the five semi-final groups will be able to qualify for the semi-finals, and then the best of the remaining players will be added to enter the final.
Although he has a chance to be the alternate runner in 10.17 seconds, he only has one spot, and even if he doesn't know the results of the other groups, he probably knows that the situation is not optimistic.
Sure enough, after Zhang Peimeng left the track and field, he quickly learned about the results of several other groups of athletes. The top three in the second group were 9.98 seconds, 10.01 seconds and 10.12 seconds, while the fourth and fifth places both finished in 10.15 seconds and 10.16 seconds.
The top three in the group directly qualified, and there was only one place in the semi-finals, so it would not be his turn anyway!
"It's been a good one!"
In the lounge off the field, Ye Qin looked at Zhang Peimeng, who looked a little annoyed, and gently patted the other party's shoulder.
"Alas, I'm still not reconciled!"
Zhang Peimeng shook his hair, "I almost finished fourth in the group, and if I lose, I will lose in a thousand seconds, I just have thicker chest muscles, cross the finish line first, maybe I will be the third in the group, and I will be able to get the promotion place!" β
"Hahaha......" Ye Qin saw that Zhang Pei Meng said interestingly, knowing that although he was annoyed, he was not unbalanced, and replied with a smile, "Then when you return to China, you will do a good job of jerking and snatching, train your chest muscles a little bigger, and you will definitely have an advantage over others in crossing the line in the future." β
"Go, then you pass on some tricks. The coach used to say that if you are in good shape, you can go to the catwalk if you are not an athlete! Zhang Peimeng replied with a smile.
"Director Li actually praised me like this, it's okay, when the time comes, when the time comes, let's go together. Well, both of us are tall enough, and we don't have a chance. β
Yuan Guohua, who had been watching the two of them next to him, heard the two of them ridiculing Su Bingtian, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You two stinky boys, seeing that Bingtian is no longer here, you are teasing him here again." β
"Hahaha......"
Ye Qin and Zhang Peimeng both laughed when they heard Yuan Guohua's words.
"If you don't have any interest, you still want to retire to show off your figure, I think you will either come to be a coach in the future, with the growth of your generation, I believe that in the future, we will be able to establish the brand of sprinting." Yuan Guohua said with some seriousness.
"Director Yuan, you see that the two of us are still early to retire, and you will start to instill ideas in us!"
"I'm afraid that you will be ambitious in the future!"
Yuan Guohua shook his head, for Zhang Pei Meng Yuan Guohua felt that it might be better, and Ye Qin, the money he earned in the past few years was enough for him to eat and drink in this life and even in the next life.
It's really hard to get them to coach in track and field, or sprinting, or something. However, he really had this idea in his heart.
Track and field, especially sprint coaches, there are still very few top ones in China, and Ye Qin is a super-first-class athlete like him, if he enters this project to coach, he may really bring something different.
Just like he himself was the best athlete in China and turned coach, he was more or less able to bring some things from his entire career to the next generation.
After listening to Yuan Guohua's words, Ye Qin and Zhang Peimeng were not talking for a while.
Now since 2009, Ye Qin has never thought about retiring in the future, he feels that he seems to be able to run until the age of thirty, and it is too early to think about this.
All he thinks about now is how to improve his performance.
Zhang Peimeng also didn't think about it, everyone is still young, and they can't help but understand what people of Yuan Guohua's age are considering.
However, after this gag chat, he felt much better about the loss of failing to advance to the semifinals in the men's 100m.
"There's still a relay, let's run the relay next!" Zhang Peimeng's mentality adjusted, and he looked at Ye Qin beside him, and he suddenly thought, probably Ye Qin was under much more pressure than him at this time.
The world's first avatar, the real throne.
Under this, there are thousands of people who covet this position, and if they want to sit firmly in this top spot, they don't know what kind of strong mentality is needed.
β¦β¦
August 16, the second day of the World Championships in Berlin.
The Chinese team's results on the previous day were not bad, and in the men's 20km race walk the day before, Chinese athlete Huang Hao won the first gold medal for the Chinese team at this World Championships.
It is a very good start, Chinese track and field is in the world track and field, and the main competition with athletes from other countries is also concentrated in long-distance events, among which race walking is a relatively good event for Chinese track and field.
There are also several gold medals on the second day today, namely the women's 20km race walk and the women's shot put, as well as the most anticipated men's 100m event.
When Ye Qin was about to go to the Berlin Stadium at the team's residence, he had already received the news that the women's 20km event failed to win the championship and won the silver medal.
The first and second place results were 1 hour 28 minutes 58 seconds and 1 hour 29 minutes 10 seconds respectively, and Ye Qin couldn't help but feel pity when he learned about this result.
For the 20km race walking event, the difference between the first and second place is really not big by 12 seconds, and the gap between them is only a few tens of meters.
However, this is the case with competitive sports competitions, just like Zhang Peimeng lost the qualification for the semifinals yesterday, the difference is only a thousand minutes and seconds.
At 17:30 in the evening, Yechin arrived at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
Tonight's men's 100m semi-finals and final are at 7:10 p.m. and 9:35 p.m. respectively.
He arrived at the stadium an hour and a half early, on the one hand, he needed to do some second warm-up work before the game, and on the other hand, the World Championships was not an ordinary Grand Prix after all, and the players still needed to wait for a long time from the pre-game check-in to the arrangement.
When Ye Qin was in the indoor warm-up venue, he also saw many other players participating in the men's 100m semifinals at this World Championships, many of whom were familiar faces.
However, at this time, everyone's nerves were a little tense, and all of them had solemn faces, even if Yusse Bot was in the middle of the field, in addition to saying hello to Ye Chin, he also whispered a few words to Asafavil.
As for the other heavyweight in the men's 100m, Jason Gaby, he looked grim throughout the whole process, and kept himself in a serious state of preparation from start to finish.
This is the big war that is about to begin!
Everyone is a player who has been competing in the track and field field for many years, but for the championship, no one dares to slack off too much.
After doing a few sets of starting exercises on the warm-up track, Ye Qin did not continue, but put on a coat and slowly moved around the sidelines.
Facing Euse Bot and Jason Gaby, he is also not so calm inside, although he is not particularly nervous, but deep down, he is still a little cautious.
He has absolute confidence in himself, which comes from his long hours of hard training and win after victory, but it also requires a high level of focus.
There is no shortage of his challengers in this world!
Little by little, time passes!
At 19:10 in the evening, the men's 100m semifinals officially began!
The first group of the semi-finals started, with Yechin in the second group, and the first group of players was dominated by Ursey Both, Jason Gaby, Daniel Bailey, Davis Barton, Mark Burns, Michael Rogers and many other famous players.
When the first group of players took the field, the entire Olympic Stadium caused a lot of enthusiastic cheers from the crowd present.
Today, the more than 70,000 seats in the entire Olympic Stadium were almost filled by a crowd of spectators, all of whom were rushing for tonight's men's 100m final.
Although it is only a semi-final now, even the semi-finals are enough to see in the men's sprint event.
After a gunshot, the eight runners in the first group of the semi-finals quickly rushed out of the starting line.
In this race, the audience once again saw the strength of Yusse Both, the current super flyer who is most capable of challenging the 100-meter world record.
It looked like he ran a time of 9.89 seconds to finish first in the group, while Jason Gaby, who crossed the finish line next to Usse Both, was also not weak, running 9.93 seconds, and then Daniel Bailey and Davis Barton and other runners advanced in 9.96 and 9.98 seconds respectively.
In one semi-final, more than four competitors entered the 10-second mark, which was almost unimaginable in the previous men's 100m race.
From this, it can also be seen that the men's sprint event has ushered in a round of explosion since 2008.
After the end of the first group of the men's 100m semifinals, at 19:18 in the evening, Ye Qin's second group of players officially entered the field.
At this time, the domestic time had reached more than two o'clock in the morning, but because of the broadcast of the CCTV 5 channel, many people were still sitting in front of the TV to watch.
Of course, there are many track and field enthusiasts who did not watch the semi-finals, but set their alarm clocks early and went to bed and waited for the men's 100m final at 4:30 in the morning.
ββ¦β¦ The results in Group 1 of the semi-finals were outstanding, and it was clear that Yusse Bot and Jason Gaby were in great form today. Jason Gaby was unable to reach the semi-finals at last year's Olympics due to injury, but this year's return has many track and field fans looking forward to it......"
On the on-site media commentary seat, Mu Jiang was summarizing the results of the last player game, and when he saw the second group of players appearing in the camera, he immediately continued: "Okay, the second group of players in the semifinals has already appeared, Ye Qin is the fourth lane, and his main opponent in this semi-final is the Jamaican star Asafavier who is the fifth lane next to him......"
With Mu Jiang's introduction, on the scene and on the big screen in front of the TV, the eight semifinalists of the second group appeared in front of everyone.
First, Gerald Peel, Zambia;
Second Lane, Monzavo-Edwards, USA;
third lane, Richard Thompson, Trinidad and Tobago;
Fourth, Yechin, China;
Fifth Path, Asafarville, Jamaica;
Sixth Way, David Chambers, England;
Seventh Lane, Michael Flat, Jamaica;
Eighth way, Naoki Tsukahara, Japan;
The eight athletes may be a little unfamiliar to many viewers who are not particularly familiar with track and field, but for sports commentators like Mu Jiang, especially because of the appearance of Ye Qin, he is almost familiar with the top men's 100m athletes.
ββ¦β¦ This semi-final is the top four in the group to directly advance to the final, and in terms of Ye Qin's ability, basically as long as he plays normally, he will definitely be able to advance to the final...... Okay, the game starts right away......"
Standing in front of the starting line, Ye Qin made a few stretching movements slightly, and since he entered the arena, he didn't pay much attention to the interference of other things on the sidelines, and he has always maintained a high degree of concentration on the game.
It's not that he's so cautious about the semi-finals, but two hours later, the men's 100m final will be just enough to get him in shape.
One of the reasons why the semi-finals of the men's 100m are held two hours before the final at the Olympics, World Championships and other major competitions is because they want to mobilize the athletes' form through the semi-finals.
In many cases, the first time an athlete runs a race is not necessarily the fastest and best, because even if they are fully prepared, they may not be able to fully enter the state.
But in the second and third games, under the condition of sufficient physical fitness, they can often break out in better form and create more brilliant results.
βOn your marks!β
As a password sounded in place, Ye Qin gently adjusted his breathing and slowly walked onto the runner.
By Ye Chin's side, Asafavir's face was solemn, this was the first time he and Ye Qin had played together, from the beginning when he was able to suppress Ye Chin, to the later gradually following Ye Chin, almost never won.
In the face of Ye Qin, he did not have any psychological advantage, but the child was only in the semifinals.
After a gunshot, the eight runners on the field quickly rushed out of the starting line.
Ye Qin started quickly, and at the moment of rushing out of the starting line, he was faster than Asafavil to go out of the line, and this race started from the start, Ye Qin did not have any reservations.
It's all about running and playing at your best!
This is the semi-final of the men's 100m, and although he is confident enough to qualify, he still needs to be stimulated at his best.
After just twenty meters, Ye Qin had already taken the lead!
The cheers in the Olympic Stadium suddenly rang out!
ββ¦β¦ It's game on! Ye Chin's start was very fast, Ye Qin ran to the first position, Ye Chin, Ye Qin is accelerating!! β
Mu Jiang's voice, the on-site commentary, almost rose instantly with the start of the game!
Many viewers who stayed up late and sat in front of the TV, at this moment, were all in high spirits and staring at the flying figure on the TV screen.
In the men's 100-meter race, it is often lightning and flint, and with a slight blink of an eye, the competitors may have already run a distance of several meters, and there will be changes between several positions.
Ye Qin accelerated all the way to sprint, and the speed was amazing!
Fifty meters later, even Asafavil was left behind by Ye Chin, and he opened up several positions of distance.
60 meters, 70 meters, 80 meters......
Ye Qin rode to the top and increased his speed to the maximum, and at this time, Ye Qin already felt that no one around him could pose a threat to him.
In the last twenty meters, the speed decreases slightly.
On the one hand, this maximum speed of running can mobilize the state of the body, but it will also cause a lot of pressure on the body.
In the case of choice, most athletes will end up putting a little bit.
9.85 seconds!
On the on-site timing board, the results of this group of Ye Qin's runs appeared in front of everyone.
The results of several other runners who quickly crossed the finish line after Ye Qin also appeared on the big screen at the scene.
Asafavil 9.95 seconds, Richard Thompson 9.98 seconds, David Chambers 10.04 seconds!
That's it for the second group of men's 100m semi-finals to reach the final!
