Chapter 448: The Eliminated Flyer
The news that Guo Zizhao broke the men's 400-meter sprint world record again and successfully ran within 43 seconds quickly spread in the world athletics world.
However, Guo Zizhao estimates that this news will be hot for two or three days, after all, it is still during the Olympic Games, and the news of various hot events and winning championships is also endless, except for fanatical track and field enthusiasts, no one will always stare at the sprint event.
Besides, Guo Zizhao has been breaking world records for a few years in the past few years, how many times does he not break a world record? Therefore, it is estimated that everyone is also a little accustomed to this.
Even Guo Zizhao's record-breaking this time is of great significance, breaking the human limit speed deduced by experts in this project. However, in the past two years, Guo Zizhao has broken the limits of human beings, has there been less of them?
In the men's 100-meter sprint event, Guo Zizhao became the first runner to run within 9.70 seconds, which also broke the limit of human beings in this event!
In the men's 110-meter hurdles event, Guo Zizhao became the first player to run within 12.80 seconds, which also broke the limit of human beings in this event!
At the World Indoor Track and Field Championships at the beginning of the year, Guo Zizhao also broke the world records in the indoor men's 60m, 60m hurdles, 200m and 400m sprints. Isn't all of them pushing the limits of human speed?
So this time, Guo Zizhao ran within 43 seconds in the 400-meter sprint event, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.
Similarly, Guo Zizhao was only excited about winning the championship for less than a night, and then calmed down and started the next journey.
……
On August 24, the Olympic Games entered their 11th day of competition.
At half past nine in the morning, the first round of the men's 110-meter hurdles preliminaries kicked off at the Athens Olympic Main Stadium.
For this preliminaries, Guo Zizhao didn't pay too much attention. The first round of preliminaries, if Liu Feifei and the three of them couldn't even pass this game, then Guo Zizhao would not abdicate so confidently to give way to Xian. Therefore, Guo Zizhao is also leisurely preparing for the next men's 200-meter sprint preliminaries.
However, to Guo Zizhao's surprise, as one of the popular contenders for the men's 200m sprint medal, Jamaica's Usain Bolt did not appear in the athletes' room. It wasn't until half an hour before the start of the game that the young Bolt hurried over.
What's the situation? Guo Zizhao is also puzzled by this, although this is only a preliminary round, although Bolt's results are also good, but he is not qualified to hold on to it like this?
But soon, Guo Zizhao noticed something strange from Bolt's somewhat awkward warm-up.
I'll go...... It turned out to be injured!
Guo Zizhao also suddenly understood that in the memory of his previous life, Bolt was not very smooth at the beginning of his career, although his strength was not weak, but he has never won any achievements and awards in international top competitions. It wasn't until 2007 that Usain Bolt changed his main event to the 100-meter dash, and since then he has soared into the sky and gone out of control!
And the reason why Bolt was more tragic in the first few years of his career was injury! And it's a depressing repeated injury, and it's bound to be injured when you get to the big game.
Thinking of this, Guo Zizhao was also a little proud, hehe...... I didn't expect to accidentally predict Bolt's injury a few days ago! Hey...... I just don't know, Bolt has practiced so many projects in his life, will his injury be more serious? What if you are not careful, and directly abolish the future Jamaican "Lightning"?
Probably not...... Guo Zizhao is also a little apprehensive, if Bolt is still so insistent on going his own way under his own reminder, it will not be blamed on Lao Tzu's head......
……
"Yusain, you shouldn't actually be here for this game." Coach Mills also assisted Bolt in the warm-up exercises, and said helplessly, "Although your ankle swelling has subsided, even if you have passed the acute reaction period, this is not any relief for your injury." ”
"What if you even participate in this preliminaries? You can't use your full strength right now, or you'll be more injured! You can't joke with your professional life, can you? ”
"Don't worry, Daddy Mills," Bolt said to the coach with a grin, "I know what I'm doing. Hehe...... I know that with my current situation, I probably won't even be able to make it through this preliminary round. But this is my first Olympics, and I don't want to be a deserter! ”
"Alas...... All right! Mills also nodded helplessly, and then said still worriedly, "But you have to be careful when you are on the field!" Don't try too hard, and if you don't feel right, stop immediately. You kid, don't be reckless......"
"Got it, daddy......" Facing the coach's chatter, Bolt had no choice but to roll his eyes.
"Don't be impatient...... Don't forget, don't you want to prove to everyone that you will be the one Guo Zizhao said in the future, Jamaica's top 100-meter flyer? Have you ever seen a 100-meter flyer with a limp leg? ”
"Hmm...... I understand," Bolt also nodded rarely, and said in a straight tone, "When today's game is over, I will honestly go back to recuperate." Until the injury is fully recovered, I will not toss around again! In the future, I will definitely follow your arrangement and strive to become a top 100-meter flyer! ”
……
Soon, the first round of the men's 110m hurdles preliminaries were all over. Chen Yanhao, Liu Feifei and Shi Dongpeng really made the cut easily.
Guo Zizhao also said hello to his teammates and began to prepare for the first round of preliminaries of the men's 200-meter sprint.
The first round of preliminaries this morning and the second round of preliminaries at 8 p.m. were both pieces of cake for Guo Zizhao. After two easy naked runs, and a little bit of water, Guo Zizhao successfully advanced to the semifinals tomorrow night.
Another Chinese player, Yang Yaozhou, also played well and successfully advanced to the semifinals with a time of 20.53 seconds. And Usain Bolt, the future Jamaican flyer that Guo Zizhao is concerned about, was eliminated in the first round of preliminaries.
Of course, Bolt's elimination caused quite a stir in the media. Although the young Bolt has just entered the professional arena this year, he is still favored by many people with his outstanding performance in the World Youth Championships in the first half of the year.
In particular, his time of 19.93 seconds in the men's 200-meter sprint at the World Youth Championships is still quite medal competitive. After all, in the men's 200m event this year, the player who can run stably within 20 seconds is the American Crawford, except for Guo Zizhao.
Of course, Williams, Gatlin, Obikwiru and veteran Fredericks and others also have the ability to run under 20 seconds.
However, when everyone saw Bolt limping off the track after the race, they also understood that he only ran 21.03 seconds.
In today's competition, as the advantages of the Chinese sports delegation are gradually decreasing, the number of projects that can have a chance to win gold is also gradually decreasing. However, even so, the Chinese team still won a gold medal today.
At the Olympic Aquatics Center, in the final of the men's three-meter springboard, China's Peng Bo won the gold medal with a high score of 787.38, bringing the total number of gold medals won by the Chinese sports delegation to 28.
Although the U.S. team won one more gold medal than the Chinese team today, it was only 22. With the advantage of 6 gold medals, the Chinese team is still firmly in the first place in the gold medal list......
