Chapter 432: Tragic Preliminaries
In the end, Coach Mills had no choice but to sacrifice the procrastination method, "Let's not discuss this issue now!" Now our main task is the Olympics! After this Olympics is over, let's go back and discuss it slowly! ”
Speaking of which, Coach Mills also took the opportunity to encourage Bolt, "In this Olympic Games, you have the opportunity to compete with Guo Zizhao in the 200m and 400m events. Since Guo Zizhao thinks that your strength is not good, then you have to work harder, let Guo Zizhao see your true strength! ”
"Good! I won't let Guo Zizhao underestimate himself! Bolt listened to the coach's words, and he also felt enthusiastic, so ...... I will also prove to Guo Zizhao that I, Usain Bolt, also have the strength to become the king of sprinting!
Soon, all the games on Match Day 7 were over.
In today's game, Wang Nan and Zhang Yining of the Chinese table tennis team won a gold medal in women's doubles, bringing the total number of gold medals of the Chinese team to 17, once again consolidating the first position in the gold medal list.
And the U.S. team did not show weakness today, Phelps showed off again in the pool, and won the gold medal in the men's 100m butterfly, bringing his total number of gold medals in this Olympic Games to an astonishing five. At the same time, the American athletes won the gold medal in the women's 800-meter freestyle, so that the total number of gold medals of the American team reached 16, only one less than the Chinese team.
In addition to the U.S. team's close pursuit, the Japanese team's performance in this Olympics also made the Chinese team secretly vigilant.
So far, the Japanese team has won nine gold medals, which is more than the previous two Olympic Games combined. Among them, the judo event alone won 6 gold medals. In the swimming event, relying on the "frog king" Kosuke Kitajima won two gold medals in the men's 100m and 200m breaststroke. Coupled with 1 gold medal in gymnastics, the Japanese team is also menacing!
However, Guo Zizhao didn't care about these fierce opponents, hummed...... After two days, as soon as Lao Tzu's track and field gold medal opens, there is no need to worry about everyone.
……
On August 21, the competition of this Olympic Games entered the eighth day. Today is also a day with more games for Guo Zizhao. There will be a first round of heats for the men's 100m dash in the morning, a second round of the 100m in the evening, and an hour later, the semi-finals of the men's 400m dash.
Although there are three games to participate in, the intensity and frequency of the games are not a problem for Guo Zizhao at all.
Before the preliminaries of the men's 100-meter sprint, Guo Zizhao also saw his old opponents who he hadn't seen for a long time. Everyone is naturally curious about Guo Zizhao's great power in the swimming arena a few days ago.
Morris. Green was even more envious and said, "I really envy you for having such a good body!" I can't have enough fun in the track and field field, but I can still win two gold medals in swimming! It's really more popular than people! Tut-tut...... Why don't you just go straight to the swimming arena and come to compete with us for some championships! ”
"That's it," Obi Keviru also complained, "It's not that Phelps has already won 5 swimming gold medals, and today is preparing to hit the 6th gold medal!" This guy is so arrogant, how can you bear it! You better go to the swimming arena and teach him a lesson! ”
"Hmm...... You're right! Crawford also made a look of deep approval, "Although I am also an American, but seeing that kid steal the limelight of our track and field athletes like this, I also support Guo Zizhao to teach him a lesson!" ”
"Yes, yes! You'd better leave us a way to live......" Old opponents such as Gardner and Collins were also coaxing on the sidelines, while newcomers such as Gatlin and Powell were watching from the sidelines.
"...... You guys! Guo Zizhao also couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't expect that the opponents who were serious on the field now have such a reckless time, "Don't talk nonsense, I haven't won enough gold medals in the sprint event!" This is my second time participating in the Olympics, so how could I give up! I'm in the middle of now, so be careful, haha......"
……
Today's two rounds of men's 100m preliminaries are not difficult for Guo Zizhao and other masters, and everyone has passed the test easily.
At the level of the men's 100m runners in this Olympic Games, as long as they run within 10.30 seconds in the first round of preliminaries in the morning, there is basically no problem in entering the second round.
In the second round of preliminaries, which will be held that night, there will be a total of 5 groups, with the top 3 in each group and the best fourth place in the 5 groups, and a total of 16 players will enter tomorrow's semi-finals.
As a result, in the second round of preliminaries, the competition suddenly became fierce, and without a time of 10.15 seconds, there was basically no chance of squeezing into the semifinals of the second day.
In Group 1, Portugal's Obiqueviru was in first place with a time of 9.93 seconds, followed by Great Britain's Lewis. Francis and Jamaica's Dwight. Thomas, both of whom also finished in 10.12 seconds.
In the second group, American Crawford took the first place with an astonishing time of 9.89 seconds, Barbados' Thompson was second with a time of 10.12 seconds, and China's Shen Yunbao was lucky to be third with a time of 10.18 seconds.
In the third group of the race, American Gatlin won the first place in 9.96 seconds, followed by Chen Haijian in 10.09 seconds. Gardner was third in 10.15 seconds.
Guo Zizhao appeared in the 4th group of the competition, and easily dominated the group with a time of 9.80 seconds. Ghana's Aziz. Zachary was second in 10.02 seconds, with St. Kitts and Nevis' Collins third in 10.05 seconds.
In the final Group 5 race, the old American flyer Green held the top spot in 9.93 seconds, followed by Jamaican upstart Powell in 9.99 seconds. Mills also finished in the top three with a time of 10.18 seconds.
In the fourth group, Jamaica's Fratt ranked first among all the fourth-place players with a time of 10.15 seconds, and also managed to squeeze into tomorrow's semi-finals.
……
The single result of this semi-final also made all the media and the audience exclaim.
I'll go...... The overall strength of the Chinese team in the men's sprint event is too domineering. Among the top 16 players in the semi-finals, the United States team has 3 players, Jamaica has 3 players, and the Chinese team has 3 players, while the old powerhouses Great Britain and Ghana team have only 2 players.
Although Guo Zizhao is the only top international sprinter in the Chinese men's track and field team, the overall strength of the Chinese team's sprinting in the past two years should not be underestimated.
At last year's World Championships in Athletics, the Chinese team in the men's 100-meter sprint event was three people who entered the semifinals at the same time, and two people entered the finals. In the 200-meter event, two people also made it to the final. In the 110-meter hurdles, three more people entered the final.
This report card is enough to make the Chinese team one of the world's first-class sprinting powers. Especially in the end, the Chinese team unexpectedly won the men's 4x100m relay championship, which also gave the international track and field world a new understanding of the overall strength of the Chinese men's track and field team.
And the current Olympic men's 100-meter semi-final results are single, which also makes the international track and field exclaim, it turns out that the performance of the Chinese team last year was not a flash in the pan! There are 3 more people who have entered the semi-finals, and the Chinese team really has this strength! If this improvement rate continues, then by the time the Beijing Olympics comes, maybe all three players will be able to enter the finals!
No way...... It seems that China's men's track and field strength is really worthy of everyone's attention......
In addition to the performance of the Chinese team, the results of the second round of preliminaries this time are also astonishing to everyone!
Your sister, this is just the preliminaries, and there are actually 6 people who ran within 10 seconds. This is simply a big explosion of results! You must know that in the men's 100-meter final of the World Championships last year, Collins, who won the third place, only ran 10.07 seconds! This result was outside the top eight in today's preliminaries.
And some veterans who once dominated the field, such as the British Campbell, the veteran Bolton of Trinidad and Tobago, and the newcomer Brown who reached the final of last year's World Championships, were also ruthlessly eliminated in this preliminaries.
No way...... The preliminaries are so miserable, so how thrilling will tomorrow's semi-finals and finals be...... ()
