Chapter 745: Strange Preliminaries

At half past seven in the evening, the preliminaries of the men's 4x100-meter sprint at this World Championships will officially start.

It's just that the weather is not beautiful, and Berlin ushered in a heavy rain this afternoon, but fortunately, before the start of the game, the heavy rain has stopped, and the game can be carried out normally. However, the slightly slippery track will definitely have an impact on the performance of the runners.

Therefore, when reporting the list of contestants before the start of the competition, Coach Feng Shuyong and Mai Shaoqiang were still a little worried, "There is still a little water on the runway, and I am afraid that the players will make mistakes when handing over the baton!" ”

"No problem, it's just a little stagnant water, it's not like we haven't practiced on a rainy day." Guo Zizhao also said with a smile, "There are a lot of rains in our Rongcheng, and the night rain in Bashan is not blowing the shell!" As for their state......"

Guo Zizhao also glanced at these excited teammates again, turned his head to Feng Shuyong and said, "I believe they have no problem, it's just the preliminaries, as long as the baton is handed over steadily, there is no problem in entering the finals!" ”

Soon, the preliminaries officially began.

The preliminaries of the relay race are divided into three groups, and the top two teams in each group will directly qualify for the finals, and then select the two best teams from the remaining teams to advance to the finals. The U.S. team was placed in the first group of the preliminary round, Jamaica was in the second group, and China was in the last group.

In the first group of preliminaries, in addition to the strong United States, Japan was also seeded in this group. In recent years, in the top international competitions, although the Japanese team did not achieve an amazing ranking like in the previous life under the pressure of the Chinese team, it also ran out of the top five in the final several times, and also made a lot of fame in the international athletics world with the tacit baton cooperation.

The second group is seeded by Jamaica and Great Britain, who finished second and third at the last World Championships in Osaka.

Especially the Jamaican team, although Bolt lost to Guo Zizhao again in the individual event this time, the strong overall strength of the Jamaican team also shocked the entire international athletics community. At last year's Beijing Olympics, the Jamaican team's time of 37.20 seconds was also the second best time in the history of international athletics in this event!

As for the teams with the best strength to reach the final in Group 3, of course, they are China and Trinidad and Tobago. With Guo Zizhao's Chinese team, it has always been the hegemon in the men's relay event, and last year's world record of 37.12 seconds made many people feel incredible.

The old powerhouse Tobago, under the leadership of Thompson and Burns, has once again begun to have the strength to impact the medals of the world's top competitions in the past two years.

It's just that when the players of the first group appeared on the stage, the audience began to exclaim.

I'll go...... The U.S. team didn't have all the main players, and it was still dominated by substitute players!

……

Trammell, Rodgers, Crawford and Paton, as soon as the American team came on the court, everyone was complaining. Over the years, the rhythm of the U.S. team's death in the relay event is really thorough!

At the 2003 World Championships and the 2004 Olympics, the U.S. team lost to the Chinese team. At the 2005 World Championships and the 2008 Olympics, the U.S. team was eliminated in the preliminaries. But now, the U.S. team still doesn't learn its lesson, and still leads the way with substitutes!

Even the commentator couldn't help but joke, "Team America's leader Tyson. Guy and Spearmont still didn't play, probably because they just competed in the final of the 200m sprint yesterday, so they had a day off today to recharge for tomorrow's final, but it was the veterans Trammell and Crawford who appeared in the first and third positions. ”

"The preliminaries of the U.S. team are always so unpredictable, I just wonder if Guy and Spearmon are so lucky to be able to participate in tomorrow night's finals this time?"

I don't know if the commentator's crow's beak is starting to play a role, after the game starts, the U.S. team is really a little scary in handing over the baton.

Although Trammell, who is the first batter, is a veteran in the 110-meter hurdles, he is still very good at starting and short-distance explosiveness, so he has always been one of the main substitutes for the American team in the first bar.

This time, Trammell's performance was also very good, and his speed in the corners was also very good, but Trammell made a small mistake in the baton cooperation with Rogers, and he did not successfully hand the baton to the opponent until he was about to get out of the relay area.

Although it was just such an inconspicuous small mistake, it also shocked the audience and commentators at the scene into a cold sweat.

"Trammell! Trammell and Rogers, the second baton, had just failed to hand over the baton for the first time! The narrator also exclaimed, "But fortunately, the two did not give up!" After two more steps forward, Trammell managed to slip the baton into Rogers' hand! ”

"It's so thrilling! If you take another step in the evening, the baton will be out of the handover area! If that's the case, then the U.S. team will have to go home again in this relay race! I hope that in the handover of the next two sticks, the American team can be more secure, otherwise, the peak showdown between China, the United States and Jamaica that everyone is looking forward to will become a competition between the Chinese team and the Jamaican team! ”

I have to say that the commentator of today's game really has the potential of a crow's mouth, and the subsequent handover between Rodgers and Crawford was relatively smooth, and the American team also relied on its strong individual strength to lead all the players by nearly 1 meter in the first three baton games.

But what people didn't expect was that the last baton between Crawford and Parton began to come out again......

……

"The United States has temporarily achieved a clear lead, and the Japanese team is also close behind the American team with tacit cooperation! It's the last stick, and now it's up to the handover of the last stick of the American team! David. Paton starts, Crawford goes into the relay zone, Crawford! Crawford......"

The narrator's voice also suddenly exclaimed, "Crawford suddenly slowed down!" Probably because it had just rained, the handover area was a little slippery, and Crawford chose to slow down the handover in order to ensure that the baton was secure! However, Paton did not grasp the intention of his teammates, and still began to accelerate with all his strength after turning around! It's dangerous......"

"No...... Crawford is speeding up again! Crawford also discovered this coordination mistake, and accelerated his strengths again! Come on, come on...... Crawford! Crawford! Parton! Hand over the baton! It worked! The narrator also roared loudly, "The baton handover has been successful!" Crawford caught up with Paton near the edge of the relay zone, and the pair completed a thrilling baton handover on the edge of the relay zone! ”

"It's so thrilling! Parton took the baton and started the all-out sprint! The U.S. team is still in the lead! The commentator also said with trepidation, "There was a mistake in the coordination between Crawford and Paton just now, and Crawford's signal may be that Paton did not receive it, but fortunately, Crawford caught up with his teammate at the last moment." ”

"However, since the two are already on the edge of the relay area this time, we can't tell whether the baton is still in the relay area, and we can only wait for the game to be completely over, and then the referee team will make the final judgment! Sprint! Sprint...... Parton crossed the finish line first and finished first in the group! Although the individual strength of the Japanese team is not strong, it still crossed the finish line second with tacit cooperation! ”

In the end, the U.S. team temporarily ranked first in the group with an excellent time of 37.97 seconds, but after the competition was completely over, the U.S. team had to face the final ruling of the referee before the final result could take effect.

This time, the two mistakes of the American team in the baton handover cooperation not only made others worried, but also the mood of Feng Shuyong and Mai Shaoqiang was even worse!

Your Sister's ...... The U.S. team is actually so suspenseful this time, so our Chinese team will also have a substitute on the field later, will there be any accidents? Guo Zizhao, how could he do such a bold thing this time? In the past, for the sake of safety, as long as Guo Zizhao's body was fine, he wouldn't be allowed to play in the formation that time......

Alas...... Why did he agree to Guo Zizhao's risky decision this time?

Just when Feng Shuyong and Mai Shaoqiang were still secretly blaming themselves, as soon as the Jamaican team in the second group appeared, the two were also dumbfounded.

Your Sister's ...... This Jamaican team has gone even further this time! The U.S. team has two main players, and your Jamaican team has three substitutes at once this time! You're going to heaven......
