Chapter 311: Something to Look Forward To
"In the World Athletics Championships held in Helsinki yesterday, China's Ye Qin played well, first in the semifinals of the men's 200m, and successfully advanced to the men's 200m final with a time of 20.33 seconds. After that, Ye Qin qualified for the men's 400m final on the evening of August 12 with a time of 44.94 seconds in the men's 400m semi-finals at 20:20 local time, and this result once again broke the national men's 400m record held by himself......
"At 22:10 local time tonight, at 3:10 a.m. Beijing time, the men's 200m final of the World Athletics Championships in Helsinki will kick off. At the same time, at 2:40 a.m., Chinese player Liu Yangyu will participate in the men's 110-meter hurdles semifinals. ”
"The national men's 200m and 400m record holder Ye Qin, in the men's 200m and 400m events in the Helsinki World Championships, successfully advanced to the finals, it is reported that the men's 200m final time is 3:10 am tonight, and the men's 400m final time is at 2:35 am tomorrow night, and the central five sports channel will broadcast these two events live for you......"
On August 11, the domestic morning news and sports news of the sports channel, a piece of news about the men's 200m final gradually attracted the attention of some people.
The 2005 World Championships Chinese track and field delegation sent by China to the low-key expedition did not cause a big wave, but several large website media still made detailed special reports.
……
At 21:30 local time in Helsinki, in the media booth of the stands in the Olympic Stadium, Mu Jiang, the commentator of CCTV 5, was nervously waiting for the next game that was about to start.
"Lao Mu, don't be excited, Liu Yangyu will definitely be able to advance to the finals."
Director Guan Chengfei watched Mu Jiang sit on the broadcast seat since night, his expression had been a little restless, and he comforted him.
He knew that Mu Jiang was also a player in the men's 110 Milan and had practiced for many years before entering the university, so he attached great importance to the men's 110-meter hurdles that Liu Yangyu participated in.
At last year's Athens Olympics, Mu Jiang's sentence "Liu Yangyu won, Liu Yangyu made history!" This year, at about the same time, he will once again witness the performance of the legendary Chinese athlete at the World Championships on the stage of Helsinki.
Mu Jiang's fingers clasped on the table of the broadcast seat, and kept tapping gently, showing that the finger owner's heart was quite uncalm at this time, after hearing Guan Chengfei's words, he turned his head and smiled reluctantly, "Liu Yangyu's current state is not particularly good, I have communicated with Coach Sun Chaosheng before, and the final result may be around 13.10 seconds." The weather this time has a great impact on many athletes, I watched his preliminaries yesterday, and the running was a little tight, and the venue constraints were too great. ”
"13.10 seconds, that's a bit of a hang, right?" Guan Chengfei frowned slightly, he knew the performance of the Chinese track and field team at the World Championships, and so far, it is still in a state of zero medals, and the biggest gold medal point is Liu Yangyu, he himself is also a supporter of Liu Yangyu, hearing Mu Jiang's answer, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"Let's see the final performance." Mu Jiang shook his head slightly, knowing that Liu Yangyu was under pressure at this time, but competitive sports pay attention to the personal state of athletes, and some things cannot be avoided.
Thinking of this, he smiled again, "Anyway, I don't think it's a problem for Liu Yangyu to enter the final, but I'm worried about the 200-meter final after the 110-meter hurdles." ”
"That's right, the strength of the Olympic champion is there, even if you can't win the championship, there will definitely be no problem in advancing to the final." Guan Chengfei nodded, paused and continued, "What are you worried about in the men's 200m final?" ”
The last two competitions on the schedule on August 11 started at 21:40 in the men's 110-meter hurdles, and then the finale was the men's 200-meter final.
Mu Jiang looked at the track and field in the distance, where the staff was nervously starting to set up the hurdles for the 110-meter hurdles competition. The last event was the women's 100m hurdles, and although it was the same hurdle event, the hurdles between the two were different.
In the international competition, the men's 110-meter high hurdles are 106 cm high and the number of hurdles is 10; For women, the low hurdles are 100 meters, the hurdles are 84 cm high, and the number of hurdles is 10. Therefore, although the two events are also hurdles, the hurdles need to be changed from beginning to end on the front and back runways.
After looking at it in a daze for a while, it seemed that Mu Jiang slowly came back to his senses, and laughed softly: "I still have something to look forward to, I looked at the information of the men's 200-meter runners before and after, and Ye Qin still has a chance." ”
"Can you get a medal?" Guan Chengfei became interested.
You must know that as a live director of sports events, he has also watched enough games, although he understands many things, unlike Mu Jiang, who is an athlete who is born in the commentary, he can still see some doorways.
"It's hard to say." Mu Jiang pursed his lips, "At the end of the 03 Paris World Championships, Shen Wu can win the third place in 20.38 seconds, according to my observation, as well as the communication with some coaches of the track and field team, Ye Qin's state is very stable, and there is still hope for more or less hope." However, young athletes still can't be completely accurate in their mentality. ”
"What's wrong with being young, only being young can create miracles." Guan Chengfei smiled, "Besides, Ye Qin already entered the top six in the Olympic Games last year, how can we look forward to this medal." ”
"The main reason is that there are a lot more new strong players in the men's 200m race, and although the 200m Olympic champion of the US team did not come, this lineup is still terrifyingly strong."
Mu Jiang has already seen the list of athletes waiting for the men's 200m final, and the United States team has four athletes in this World Championships. 100m flyer Jax Thelin and newcomers to the United States Jason Gaby and Wallace Spearmon, as well as John Capel.
Among them, John Capel was the last World Championship champion and belongs to an additional quota. At this time, the IAAF has a policy, that is, the champion of the previous World Championships can directly qualify for the World Championships without going through the national trials, and will not occupy the quota of the three athletes from the participating countries.
In 1997, Michael Johnson was injured in the competition with Vanno Bailey for the direct first person to fly, and when he was unable to participate in the World Championship trials in the United States, he directly participated in the World Championships through this policy.
With such a lineup, it can be said that it is almost impossible for players from other countries to snatch food from the American team.
Not to mention the champion, even the difficulty of competing for a medal will be infinitely magnified.
Guan Chengfei also knew about this situation, and when he heard Mu Jiang's words, his face became a little heavy for a while.
Chinese track and field has become the pride of the country and even Asia, and Ye Qin's appearance followed closely behind, giving hope to those who are passionate about track and field competitions.
But the influence of the sprint event is not like the sprint after all, and the difficulty of Ye Qin trying to get out of the strong players from all walks of life is really as great as the sky.
On the field, the field of the men's 110-meter hurdles seemed to have been arranged at this time, Mu Jiang and Guan Chengfei glanced at each other, did not talk about other gossip, but cheered up and began to prepare for the commentary of the competition.
