At four o'clock in the afternoon of March 13, the semifinals of the men's 60-meter dash officially began.

The semi-finals of the World Indoor Championships are divided into three groups, and the top two teams in each group will directly advance to the finals, and then the best two players will be selected from the remaining players to qualify for the finals.

In addition, starting from this year, the IAAF has also officially implemented a new race rule, that is, from "one rush" to a more stringent "zero rush" rule!

In other words, once any player has a rush, he will be directly sent out of the field! Instead of allowing one chance to run away in each game, as was the case before. The Indoor Track and Field World Championships is the first international top competition after the official implementation of the new "zero rush" rule.

The change of the rules of the race has always been one of the hot topics discussed in international athletics in recent years.

From the initial "second rush", to the "first rush" implemented in 2003, and then to the "zero rush" rule implemented this year. The IAAF's constant changes to the rules of the race are not only to ensure that the progress of the race and television broadcast is not frequently interrupted, but also to ensure that the competition status of some top players is not disturbed by other opponents.

Of course, the official introduction of the "zero front-running" rule, the specific effect is still unclear. But at this World Indoor Championships, all the runners are much more cautious than before in terms of starting, and no one wants to be the first victim of this new rule because of carelessness.

Although there are many famous sprinters in the international athletics world who complain about this "zero rush" rule, Guo Zizhao has no objection to this. Hey...... We have always relied on our true strength to win the championship, playing rush or something, it has never existed!

In addition, because Guo Zizhao has the memory of his previous life, he is also strict with his disciples.

In terms of starting, Zhang Peimeng and Lao Yi must achieve a successful start in their daily training. In addition, these two people only officially entered the international arena last year, and they have not participated in many official international competitions, so they have not been affected by the changes in the rules of this year's rush at all.

Today's semi-finals are the same, although Lao Yi was arranged to play in the first group this time, but Guo Zizhao is not worried about this, with Lao Yi's strength, no matter which group he is in, he can easily advance.

……

The result of the game was exactly as Guo Zizhao expected.

In the first group of races, Lao Yi ran his personal best again, crossing the finish line first with a time of 6.52 seconds and successfully advancing to the final. In second place was Kiemmons from the United States with a time of 6.54 seconds.

However, the young player Su Bingtian, who played in the second group, did not have such good luck.

Although Su Bingtian also participated in many domestic and Asian competitions last year, there is still a bit of a gap between him and the masters of the same group in terms of personal strength and stability of results.

In the end, Rogers of the United States won the first place in the group with a time of 6.53 seconds. Pele finished in 6.56 seconds for another direct qualification. Qatari naturalized Francis finished third with a time of 6.63 seconds. As for Su Bingtian, this time he only ran 6.67 seconds, and he basically said goodbye to the finals.

In the semi-finals of the last group, Wen Yongyi withstood the pressure and won the second place with a time of 6.57 seconds, once again winning a place in the final. The first place was easily won by the top favorite at this year's World Indoor Championships, British veteran Chambers with a time of 6.51 seconds. Jamaica's Carter finished third in the group with a time of 6.60 seconds, but he had no problem securing a place in the final.

Soon after, the final squad for the men's 60m sprint final was announced, with British veteran Chambers, American Rogers and Kiemmons, China's Lao Yi and Wen Yongyi, Anguati's Pele, Jamaica's Carter and Qatar's Francis, all eight qualified for the final and will compete again in two and a half hours.

Hiss...... After seeing this list of finalists, the others couldn't help but nod secretly. Unexpectedly, after Guo Zizhao retired, the Chinese team is still strong in the men's sprint event! There are still two Chinese players who have entered the finals this time! And Lao Yi's semi-final score of 6.52 seconds this time is also not bad at all!

However, the international athletics community and most viewers are not familiar with Lao Yi, only that he is a disciple of Guo Zizhao, and also won the men's relay championship at last year's World Championships in Berlin. Even Rogers, Bailey and Carter, who participated in Guo Zizhao's training camp, have an impression of Lao Yi as a 100-meter sprinter with excellent explosiveness and barely good strength.

I just didn't expect that Lao Yi's performance in the 60-meter dash event would be so good. The semi-final score of 6.52 seconds is only behind Chambers, and he is also a strong player who has the strength to impact medals and even gold medals! It seems that even after Guo Zizhao retired, his two disciples should not be underestimated!

……

As for Feng Shuyong, although it is a bit regrettable for Su Bingtian's elimination, he is still very happy about the promotion of Lao Yi and Wen Yongyi.

Especially Lao Yi's results, as Guo Zizhao said, it is easy to run a world-class score of 6.5 seconds. Now, I hope that in the finals to be held, Lao Yi can be like Guo Zizhao, and play better than one game!

Soon after the semi-finals of the men's 60m sprint, the men's 60m hurdles heats will be held.

Although Feng Shuyong did not have any hope of winning a medal in the 60-meter hurdles after listening to Guo Zizhao's judgment, he still accompanied the three coaches Sun Haiquan, Lu Quan and Wu Feng to encourage the contestants to successfully complete today's preliminaries.

In the men's 60m hurdles, the favorite to win the World Indoor Championships is still Cuban star Robles, and this year's personal best of 7.32 seconds is enough to beat the other competitors.

In addition to Robles, French star Doucoure and American veteran Trammell all participated in this indoor World Championships. Oliver and Merritt, who were in the limelight at last year's World Championships in Berlin, did not compete because they were busy practicing the seven-step hurdle technique at home.

In addition, Liu Feifei, a top master, also did not participate under the pretext of recuperating from injury, so the competition in this indoor World Championships is also much weaker.

It is precisely because of this that today's preliminaries are not difficult for the three Chinese players. Shi Dongpeng, Yi Jing and Xie Wenjun all successfully advanced to tomorrow's semifinals, but from the perspective of strength, there is only Shi Dongpeng who can enter the finals with absolute certainty.

Around 2007, Shi Dongpeng's performance in the 60-meter hurdles was only an international second-rate level of 7.6 seconds. However, after several trainings in Guo Zizhao's training camp, Shi Dongpeng's performance in this event has already broken through to the international first-class level of 7.5 seconds. Especially after the successful reform of last year's seven-step upper hurdle, Shi Dongpeng can even occasionally run the international top score of 7.4 seconds!

It's just that even if Shi Dongpeng's best time breaks through 7.50 seconds, he can only ensure that he can enter the finals. After all, the 60m hurdles event is also not Shi Stonepeng's strong point.

At the same time as the 60-meter hurdles preliminaries were held, Guo Zizhao accompanied his disciples to do a massage to relax, and whispered, "I played well just now, and there is no problem with the start and rhythm." In the finals, you don't have any pressure, just play at your own pace! ”

"Hmm......" Lao Yi also nodded silently, "However, the strength of Chambers and the others is indeed very powerful!" If they play at their best, I won't necessarily be their opponent! If I hadn't won the medal, wouldn't I have embarrassed you...... master."

"Shame? Haha......" Guo Zizhao also laughed lightly, "Since I dare you to come out to participate in this indoor World Championships, you must be sure of winning a medal!" As long as you follow my arrangement and play your level normally, it is enough! When the time comes, I'm sure you won't disgrace me, but you might even be able to give me a face......"
